Me and BlauK are just working with a totally new Finrus terrain, which is 1:1 map. We are going to put together those two popular terrains: Finrus and Karelia. There are coming those same custom sand and grass airfields, custom V-bases (If Skuzzy shows us green light...), the town of Viipuri with he castle etc.
The new Terrain Editor allows us to make those typical Finnish waterways much more better than what we made with our "custom coastlines" couple of years ago in the Karelia terrain (we can now make coasts with 55 yards resolution). Also those Finnish landscapes (terrain textures) are going to be custom and much more better looking than the old ones. Because we don't need anymore those custom coastline objects the terrain is coming much more "lighter" and the FPS' are going to be remarkably better with this new version.
At first we are going to built a small 128 x 128 map which contains almost the same area than the old Karelia terrain. After everything is tested in the SEA (I hope) we are going to "open the map size window" to 256 x 256 miles terrain. If it is working good, the last update is going to be 512 x 512 miles map. We HOPE with BlauK that the first test version of the new Finrus map is available on January 2010.
