it can never be a bad thing......onwards and upwards, gents... 
it's a pretty simple thing to play around with re-texturing a map just by editing the load.ini....rather than looking at redko to do it, guys should be trying their hand at their own re-tex'ing - this way we keep improving it, as well... 
Agree. 100%
But make a map takes many many time, that's why i choosed for the moment to make only repaints, and always with new sets of textures to bring diversity to this sim. Playing with load.ini is enough sometimes, but imo you really need to paint miles per miles to get a natural rendering and i guess mapmaker haven't always time for that.
When you realize that some guys spend 6months, and some 1 year to create a map
...it's crazy. I admire them. The work done is so titanic that it's normal in some way that they let down the texturing part, and prefer to use stock textures or textures from another new map. Create a good set of texture is a big thing in it self...
So we are complementary. Ones for creating maps, others for texturing it when needed. That's why we have this Il2 community, working together we can make great things quickly and share all, ideas, advices....it's fun !
@ KG3_V.
I decided to make also a quick repaint of stock Desert_Online map. Other desert maps are good enough.
