I believe there is a map being made that has dirt airfields.  Finrus, I believe is what its called.  Amazing map.  Do a search on it and you'll find some not too outdated pictures of it.

Finn/Russ has been out in AH2 for a awhile. Its just doesnt have its old look to it yet. I belive it will redone when ever it is possible to do so, those Finns really do a good job with their maps.

There's first some pics of 109-G2 skin and at near bottom you can
see some shots from map "Karelia" made by Kanttori and Blauk.
That map will be on SEA - hope to see it soon there :aok

I know why, this way you can get a *ditch* and pork your successful mission if you stop end exit the plane outside the grey runways  :rolleyes:

However, you can land successfully in the country around you HQ and V fields. Its enuff to exit the plane from small roads between buildings :rolleyes:

Great, uh?
