OK, shameless plug of Redwing's new ETO map (in final stages before release), textures by camo (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Redwing gives details as:
'There're more than 80 cities on the map, 12 of them have bombable targets on them
40 strategical targets such as refineries, ammo factories etc.
63 fields, all placed based on historical data.'
I've been test flying this and boy is it fun (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Low level is a blast, the terrain gives a fantastic sense of speed and climb, and the hills look awesome (see in-cockpit shot)
Oh, most of the JU shots are faked with pics from AK. But it's what it'll look like, right? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Oh, and clouds are pretty low, I'd guess 5-8k (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

WTG Redwing!
And Funked, if you need an extra Tiffy pilot for any of the 308 missions.. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
(agh, what's this 'maximum number of images' rubbish? It says max is 8 but won't let me post 5...)

Looks very good. It will be great to try playing a 200 player sceneario of a bombing raid on germany (or then France at least) using this one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
With the shown field ownership anything from June 1940 till June 1944 can be played. If other times the fields can off course be changed too. Good job

To bad you didn't put Evreux and Beaumont le Roger (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) (or the location is a bit wrong (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) )
Just a warning you will have one week to remove your wreckage from my garden (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) after they will be destroyed (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

NW Europe, Mediterranean Sea-North Africa-Italy, Pacific (uh, I forgot Russia): excellent work guys (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ... what do we need now? MORE AIRCRAFT! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Straffo do you have any maps showing the correct positions of the airfields (at least it sounds like you are talking about airfields) you mentioned?
I can still fix things like that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Washedup: I've submitted the map to HTC already, now its up to them to tell me what needs to be fixed... after that the terrain will be released

Yep will try to go near this Week End and will try to send you pictures (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) except if I'm grounded in wich case I'll use a map (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The amount of work that people are putting into this new terrains is quite commendable. Thankyou to everyone involved for that extra effort.

Aaah... the gentle, rolling hills of England.
BTW - are there any white cliffs at Dover? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Yeah!! You've got Hull on there - any chance you can put Sheffield on the map as well? It would be cool to fight over it - I could fly home for tea. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Sheffield IS on the map (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
And no, no white cliffs, but as soon as HTC gives us some more base textures there WILL be white cliffs on the map the next day (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Redwing!
Nice indeed! BTW, I can see some airfields in the midlands area, have you put any of:- Cottesmore, North Luffenham, Woolfox Lodge, Melton Mowbray, Deenethorpe, North Witham, Wittering or Collyweston by any chance? Just very local airfields to me! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hey Duma,
Glad this have finally gone public (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) A big WTG Red. This map is fantastic, and I'd like to add my contribution to the screenshots.
The colour of the channel is spot on. Now you really wouldn't want to ditch in that would you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Perfect water texture. A big WTFG!!!!!

You're right Redwing! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) That really is a great map. I took the purple dot to be Manchester.
The weather is a little better than we get over here. But I've always reckoned the British weather system is over-modelled. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Replicant the maps I've used to place the airfields just show their locations, so I have no idea if the fields you mentioned are on the map (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If you can get ahold of a map showing the fields you mentioned email it to me and I'll try to add them.
One thing that might be interesting for you all (Duma forgot to mention it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)):
The map's scale is 1:1, so be prepared for long flights (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Duckwing6 did some testing and told me that with good wind settings it is possible to reach the ruhr valley (industrial area in germany) in about 1 hour in a Lancaster. That makes 2 hours total flight time, so we can use the map for snapshot events although I HOPE that someday it'll be used for some kind of large scale event like Afrika Korps.

Outstanding!!!!

Well Evreux is on the right position (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I've mistaken it with Louvier wich is a little north but beaumont le roger is missing it's 15 km south west of Evreux.
BTW I don't think you need to add those field wich where not in great use compared to Creil and others (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
