if you mean a battle of Britain map there is, however if your after some white cliffs you will be disappointed.

I've been working on a MA map and I messed around with creating a port with a cliff back drop and it looked half decent however it is still incomplete.

Bruv is right, if you are looking for the white cliffs of Dover the Battle of Britain map doesn't have them. Can't really simulate them effectively with just the Terrain Editor by itself.

How did you do that?  The terrain elevation grid, of course, does not allow anything approaching a cliff because of the coarse 1/2 mile XY resolution.  Did you do it with a custom "berm" add on object?

Not sure how he did it but we experiment with creating a custom 3D object for the cliffs.
