Great map, Filth!

Would be nice to stick 3x 10k airfields off in the far SW corner surrounded by 50k mountains with only FH.  

A true FT.

Just doesnt look like there are a lot of airfields to me.  Maybe it just looks really spaced out but there seems to be large gaps between airfields.

I dont know how to use the grid stuff. If anyone does I'll be happy to send them the bmp of it.

   This was just a rough draft and Im sure theres alot that could be adjusted such as number of fields etc. Maybe make some valleys between the high mountains at key ares too.

If your map is to be 256*256 one just like we do have now in the MA's, a standard 25miles grid would look something like this:

i say it's perfect then.  not to far of a flight from af to af, or af to vb, or af to ports until you get to the "ears".

Actually some of the bases with that grid are too close I think to what is consider the norm.

   Again I didnt draw the map to any scale and could be resized to fit a grid if needed.  Here is the size I was thinking of...pretending the grid is the same as Lusche used, but, the map was draw bigger to accomodate.

I like it.  Great idea!

To put more of the map area int ouse though I'd add bases to the outside of the outer ring and create openings in the outer ring to allow the fleets out.  Maybe also add another ring outside the current outer ring, again, with bases on both sides with openings for the fleets near the ears on each side.

BTW, it reminded me of Mickey Mouse too.  Call it FiLtHy Mouse :)  Kind of Telletubby-like too... maybe FiLtHytubby would be better.
