Hey everyone,
Sorry I don't check in here more often, just alot going on. To give you an update on terrains in the works:
Midway:
Completed. Terrain Textures by Squirrel. Skins by Dux and Ramzey.
Greece:
10Bears just completed this and includes skins by Wotan, Samm, GTO4. If I got the names wrong, yell at 10Bears!!!
Currently, I have two terrains in the works and one update.
The two in the works are just what if for something different.
Kanyon Terrain:
This is actually centered on the Owens Valley in California. I thought it looked really cool when I flew through it in MSFS 2K2, so I decided to build it for AH. You know, the Japanese invasion of the west coast? You don't remember that?
Anyway, it has lakebed runways and a desert valley (Owens Valley) which is ideal for GV battles and it has King's Canyon to the west, just over the ridge which is mostly forested, so hopefully it will be alot of fun. It will also have air racing pylons (The new RADAR tower object) set up near one of the airfields on the east of the terrain in the desert for air racing.
As such, I was thinking early to midwar planes painted as they were in WW2, specifically, how they were painted when used for training in the brown/olive drab with big yellow sprayed on numbers for markings. I would like to see the Ki-61 in one of the chocolate brown paint schemes used on it by the IJA. Also, maybe a silver C-47/DC-3, to make it look an airliner pressed into military service on the West Coast.
As for the latewar planes, I would like to see them painted in Air Racing colors. The P-51D, Tempest, Spit Mk. XIV, and Dora. Perhaps paint the SBD in T-6 'Air racing colors' as well.
Panama:
Jordi requested a terrain for the Panama Canal, since that was a strategic item during the war and I was thinking pre-war paint schemes on the Allied aircraft, i.e. F4F-4's in the silver and chrome yellow paint schemes with the bright color markings. I would like to see the Bf-109E painted like an Bf-109T, since I would like this terrain to be a combination Japanese and German hardware on the Axis side Bf-109E(T), Ju-88, Val, A6M2, Kate and Allied hardware being F4F-4, P-40B, Boston III, SBD.
Black Sea Winter update:
Basically, this is getting a complete overhaul. I already have new ground textures from Squirrel on this and will need the entire gambut of skins from both the Russian and Luftwaffe sides.
Also, the point man on all of these skins is Dux. Let me find out from him what his priorites are in terms of the skins he has lined up for the Black Sea Winter terrain.
Finland/LeningradThis is Camo's terrain he started work on before he went on Sabbatical. Hopefully he will have it completed soon
Hungary:
This is 10 Bears next project.
Po ValleyThis is Weasel's current project.
Anything he wants in the pacific, Papau new Guinea/OkinawaThis is Raxx's next project(s). He loves doing Pacific work...lol.
NiemannTilt has been working on a Niemann terrain for some time now and it will make an excellent additon to the terrain library for Eastern Front battles.
However,
Nuttz I knew at one time you were planning on making
Pearl Harbor Have you begun work on this? Are you still planning to do so? I know many CM's who would like to see it, so please let us know if you are working on it, I am sure it would look awesome if you made it.
If you have any questions, comments, or just want to yell at me, you can post your replies here or e-mail me at

Edit I added the info about what Camo is working on since I forgot to add it the first time. Sorry about that.
