I think the OP means he got snowed in, got bored, and made a USA map for the game LOL.  :rofl

Looks cool! I'd fly it! Especially if we get an Edwards AFB out in the desert!! Actually yeah I want that more than anything else.

Nice

12.6 is the best grid on it

Here is a scaled version of the USA map. To small IMO for a good  balanced map.
Chris79 has a good working layout, while it's not perfectly symmetrical it does have enough land mass for a good number of bases on each side.

The other option is to do North America and just remove Central America from the map.

In that case I claim the area 51 base with the claw and its gun package enabled  :devil

Years ago, Like 20ish.

I thought it would be cool to have a 1:1 scale 512x512 of the Eastern US with the focal point being Washington DC, it would have lots of GV bases.

I thought it would be a cool map to host special events on... Dux, the TT lead at the time, didn't agree. :D

Add some of canada, and a bit of mexico with the islands.... cuba, puerto rico, and such should give you the land mass. Evening the side might be an issue.

I was bored today, so I fooled around with it for several hours. I was thinking about doing “middle earth” but lost interest in that idea. The best west to do a production of the US would be to to a state. Wyoming for instance would fit the 256x256 At roughly a 2:3 scale. But I would not be able to use any task groups or the like. I could also do a Black Sea map at roughly 1:2.

I have a black sea map in the works right now lol.

Yeah that setup wouldn't work to well for MA, besides it's 512 by 512. Nice work up though Nefarious.  :salute

It's just Artiks makeahmap program...

I fiddled around with it and made a few work ups, Only terrain that ever came from it was rhnland. I have no idea how to work the terrain editor.

Amazing program isn't it. I use Google Earth to get the Latitude and Longitude of the area I wish to generate a map for. I have submitted another map to Hitech last Monday, based on the Great Lakes region called 3points. It is available on line for anyone wishing to look at it. I am currently working with Oboe on a map of the Black Sea region.  :salute

what are you guys using to create those maps. i used to use artik's software but it stopped working?

What version you running?? Should be 1.13.

Make the submarines only capable of periscope depth or surfaced, each with a different wake.

No need for underwater view in-game with this configuration.
