**WIP** New Map - Kharkov 1:1
« on: January 02, 2011, 01:45:08 PM »

--The Kharkov Region--

Hi all,

I've had a rather long hiatus from any sort of modding, but I recently decided that I wanted to get back into it. The two maps I had in progress (a huge med one and the entire SW Russian Front of Kiev to Stalingrad) were too big..too many airfields, cities etc to actually get finished, so I'm chopping the areas up and making smaller (but 1:1) and finishable maps instead. So, my first one is the Kharkov region, from Poltava in the west to Krupyansk in the East. A good region because it has the 3 Battles of Kharkov and other actions.
 I'm planning 4 different texture seasons - winter, spring, summer and autumn. The texture mapping is almost all done, textures are made, roads and rails are in place, new building objects are made and I'm in the process of placing airfields. So, I'm well on top of this map and I wouldn't have thought I'll need more than a month until it's ready for release.

I'll post some screenshots in the near future, but for now this is a pic of the WIP Inflight Map, showing the area covered.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

First, glad to see you back making maps again. Second, if it comes from you, I'm sure it will be a really cool map. :) Cant wait to see some landscape pics.

I still remember the screenshots at AAA of your WIP MTO map with the white Greek houses and the WIP Stalingrad map that came afterwards. The screenies you posted with the Russian houseblocks and of course the Grain Elevator looked very promising.
 
2011 started very good.  :)

Yeah, I've by no means abandoned my MTO and Stalingrad  stuff. Instead of trying to do the entire SW Russian Front  in one map I'll be doing a smaller map of Rostov to Stalingrad that will feature the grain elevator, and I'll also be chopping my med map into sections.
