« on: August 25, 2011, 01:49:15 AM »



finally done ! 8)
Readme (extract):

WESTFRONT40 - Beta Version (public)
Date: 08-25-2011

Compatibility: IL2-1946 4.09 Modded UP 2.01
IL2-1946 4.10 + SAS Modact & objects pack or modded UP 3.0

INSTALLATION:
Unzip file in your game folder

***********
This maps are activated within JSGME .

In your JSGME mods list you'll find :
02_WestFront40_beta (map files)

Just activate it the usual way with JSGME.

***********
PACKAGE CONTENT:

This package includes 1 new map, based on WestFront44 map, itself based on Asheshouse "BoF" map, but fully populated and 30kms  extended in north, south and east directions.

This map includes more than 60 unic and (as far as possible) historic airfields. A few airfields from 44 map disappear  but new ones are there.

Attention : some of them are very short and not suitable for bomber operations, A few of them are very short even for fighter operations ;),,, some are next to hills, towns or rivers,
Grass airfields are NOT completely covered with blankplates so please be careful: take-off and land only along axis marked with red/white markings at their edges, like that :


,,,and consider taxying at moderate speed.

Maastrich area has been reworked to include Eben-Emael fort.

***********
PLANNED RELEASES:

After 2 or 3 weeks, I should release a  & winter map for Phoneywar 1940 operations ...

***********
DISCLAIMER:
This package is provided free as is, without any warranty, you will use it at your own risks.
Bugs (bridges/rails/roads/ buildings on roads/ IAs landing behavior) were tracked intensively during last weeks but some are still there, be sure ;)
Please, also remember that this map is very BIG and FULLY populated  ! There can be memory issues with too many planes or moving vehicles. I recommand using a 512mb or 1Gb IL2FB.exe (if available).

Please, do NOT include this MOD inside any modpack without my authorization,
It is STRICTLY forbidden to include this MOD inside any pay-addon pack.
 
***********
AKNOWLEDGMENTS:

Original map which was the beginning of my work : Asheshouse
Channel Buildings : Canon-UK
Some original textures : Compans, Mbug, etc...
Documentation: LePereMagloire, JVMasset, Canon-UK and a lot of other people who sent information within forums during the WIP process.
GEFUV and C6 pilots who tested the map in cooperative online missions.
Oleg Maddox team for the original IL2-1946 simulator game.

...and also (last but not least) all IL2 community people who encouraged me during the long and hard WIP process.

Nice map.
I didn't bother with the JSGME thing. I just stuck it into my DBW folder next to a few other maps.

Thank you.

Wonderful map!! Outstanding!!
Great sense for historical correctness, and I can see there was a lot of historical research expecially about airfield layout for that time period.
Congratulations to all involved in this extremely accurate project for IMHO one of the best maps ever for IL2.

Thank you!

Its Beautiful. Thanks a lot Gil, a true work of art. Got it working in 4.09, but can't save / fly in 4.101. I'm on SAS modact and installed it 'old fashion' way; Map and Tex files in Mapmods and added the line to all.ini. Does it not work so??

Really excellent news! Works like a charm! No problems saving etc.  :P

A quick but important question: are the positions of the airfields fixed in this beta? Beacuse if they are I can start doodling on a Blitzkrieg campaign for this map!

Thanks for your hard work!!!
