Title: Target maps
Post by: 2Slow on January 13, 2010, 04:57:40 PM

Any chance of getting a set of target maps like we used to have for the old factory strat city system?

I know there is the csmap.  It does not provide me with the detail I want for strategic bombing raid planning.

next time you fly over take a few screen shots and build your own.

Unlike the old strat's, the new one is too big to get much detail and still have it small enough to work as a clipboard map.

Also using CM eye can get you into a pretty good position for screen shots to build your own maps.

Been there, done that.  Did not like my results.

try doing your screenshots form the bombsite.


edit: do it offline fly over your own city to save time.

The one time I was flying over the new city strat chasing a bomber there was so much flak going off it looked like I could walk my cartoon self across the black puffs up there.

This method gives a good result.  However, I find the CM eye much better.
