Title: Small Airfield map complete (delays with vehicle and arena map)
Post by: -raxx- on April 14, 2000, 09:59:00 AM
Dudes,

I finished the  small field map  (http://www.geocities.com/raxman.geo/images/small.jpg) about 4 hours ago and as I started on the Vehicle base map I realised you can't tell the altitude of the vehicle bases, (tanks are always at ground level so they don't have altimeters fitted =).

I've had to fly to each vehicle base and land there to get the altitude which takes a bit longer to gather the altitude information.  In the meantime I've created the  Vehicle Base Map  (http://www.geocities.com/raxman.geo/images/vehicle.jpg),  without altitude information.  The  Large field map  (http://www.geocities.com/raxman.geo/images/large.jpg) and  medium field map  (http://www.geocities.com/raxman.geo/images/medium.jpg) are available from the same site.

Next I'll be building the arena map and then factory and city maps.  Does anyone have a list of the grid locations for the factories?  A simple direction from a base, (ie. WSW of A20 at 5 miles is a fuel refinery), would be helpfull too.  When I formally publish these maps I'll give credit to anyone who helped out with the locations.

In the process of creating the maps I have wandered across 4 factories:
WSW A20, 5 miles, Refinery
SW A20, 15 miles, Ammunition, (I think)
SE V52, 5 Miles, AAA factory, (I think)
SE V61, 10 Miles, City

It's 3am, time to sleep but I'll check back to this thread for replies tomorrow, (err today =).

Hmm... in the screen shot Heater posted... does that actually read "Victory 1 by toejamty"? Or are my eyes just bugged out from staring at this dang monitor all day...

And, how are you getting those nice large numbers on yer in-flight map? Mine shows a barely ledgible serif font... or, was this part of today's patch?

that's victory by Shifty and the new look of field labels is part of the patch

That factory complex Heater is showing is a radar factory.
