I have the town (for all 3 field sizes), the port, the two gv bases, and the small and medium air bases done. I'm working on the large base now. I'm going to do a quick run through all of them Wednesday morning, to check consistency, and then post them here. I'll work on the strats starting this weekend.

<S> Great work man
-
Great to hear Jinx, and thank you for all the hard work. :rock
-
Thanks Jinx
-
Have I missed it? Has HTC posted when they are going to have the maps for the fields and such on the clipboard?
-
great work Jinx

....as soon as Jinx is done with them.
-
That's great Jinx, a lot of hard work that will be appreciated.
Now as just a suggested addon to these maps .......
Could you indicate where in the towns we would likely find your T34 hiding in ambush ?
That would be great man. :neener:

Here are the latest.
Large Airfield:

I have to go back and do a little work on the small and medium fields, but it shouldn't take me long. Also, I'm told that these maps might be rolled out in the final build package, but without the highlight colors and bomb runs, and possibly without the gun pit numbers. So I'm posting the highlighted maps, but the plain maps will be standard in the game.
-
And looking at the town map, I'm going to go back and clean up the gun pit table. Looks sloppy.
-
I really like the map aging. Well done.
How is you hand BTW?
-
Looking great..
Out of curiosity
Have they done away with street names now
Great work
-
I didn't see any street signs. Also, I missed the mega field and large town. I have to do them as well.

Jinx, Your work looks awesome. If you look in the Clipboard and Printable Maps topic, I posted my printable maps. I have every object labeled with downtime #s for the x-large base and town. If you haven't done the "destroy each object" job on the x-large base and town, it should save you a lot of time. I know, because that is what I did and I kept thinking: "Mother of God, when does this end?".
Again, outstanding job on the blue-line maps.

So beautiful! What I like best is that they're so clear you don't have to use them spread all over the screen to be able to read them, even with these old man eyes. :salute
-
That's because old-man eyes are in the skull of the person who made the blue-line maps! :cheesy:
-
FYI, I have other versions of these with notes in "pencil" (i.e. gray graphics) that show bomb runs, deacking runs, ord porking runs, best GV approach into town, etc. So the version of these blue line maps that I actually have loaded and use are heavily marked up.
-
Is there a way to put in Longitude and latitude lines?
Another question, what is a good, not expensive, program for modifying screen shots of locations for tactical and planning purposes? I kind of like the idea of having a map/photo of a target area like the ack towers of strat targets.
While flying yesterday, I was able to take out most of the guns int he act tower with bombs. They were to be down for 73 minutes which would give enough time for a few aircraft to destroy just about everything :x

Great job 8thJinx!
-
Those maps look great! :aok
-
Thanks guys. My maps are evolving at the moment. I'm adding terrain elevation features and, on the port map, I experimented and I'm working on the trees west of the field. I probed and found 10 routes that you can get a tank through the trees, inbound and outbound.
-
Port map with routes through trees.

EDIT- Just realized I left out the gun pit and grid number layers. Will post revised version later.
-
Very cool. Great work!
-
On the town map, what are those numbers and letters. I guess the vertical letters are small, medium and large. What are the others, please.
