Title: New AH II Maps...
Post by: Cobra412 on May 30, 2004, 05:49:54 PM

Here's some maps I've created along with a legend for them if anyone wants to use them.  I'm still working on the rest of the fields and should be done with them pretty soon.

Legend:

Small Airfield:

Medium Airfield:

Large Airfield:

I plan on adjusting some of these.  I missed the water tower in one of the setups.  But other than that it's completely done.  I may adjust the Legend if it poses a problem for some.

BTW if you wanna use them just change them to .bmp files and change them to 8bit/256 colors then drop them directly into your current map folder.  Warning though this will overwrite your old maps so use them at your own risk.

NP WilldCrd... Anyone got some good suggestions on an appropriate color that everyone could see fairly easy?  I'm working on one that is similiar but the top portion is blue and white.  And the Bottom portion has kind of a clipboard affect going with blue lettering.

SH is the Selection Hangar.  Basically the one where you pick your plane or vehicle.

I'm going to take some suggestions I've gotten from a few of the folks on the board so I will be re-doing these here soon.  Instead of letters I will be using different colored symbols.  Shouldn't take too long to do but I will come out with a legend again so folks can reference that for target information.  

I'm curious though does anyone know the amount of ord for each target area yet depending on the map sizes?  Also what about the AAA max effective alt and radius?  On the legend I'd like to input this information for reference.  That way even the new folks can have something opposed to asking how much ect...

I like the maps you have on the other post better because of the color coded symbals rather than letters. Makes it easier to tell at a glance what is what.

Just add target numbers on the other ones next to the symbals so we can call targets when in a group. As many know, FB are always in a group :D
