@r4xm,
I am very thankful to you for your info, indeed.
As it concerns the river going north, I have had controversial infos, so I obviously made bad choice. Trying  to repair it in the next WIP version of the map.
As it concerns the street schematic, I just followed default City schema in Il2 map builder.
As it concerns the typical buildings, how long it would take to you to create them and import into Il2 ?
I know it wouild be very nice, but :
1. I do not know the building creation yet, even have an intention to learn it. Later.
2. I suppose the Il2 is flight simulator, not infantry one, even if I also like driving jeep through the streets of Slovakia e.g.
All and all, I started the map making only before some months. Perhaps the map in the present state is not much worse than e.g. default Smolensk map.
I consider your post the great help and thank you very much for it.

Thanks, Uzin.

I agree that it's not so important for flight simulator to keep the real buildings in real map and therefore I spoke only about landscape because imho it's important for flight sims.

And yes, the map of course MUCH MORE BETTER then the Smolensk map!

If it help I'll try to find more info about East Prussia those times.

Thanks again for your efforts!

If it help I'll try to find more info about East Prussia those times.

One of the most needed ino is that about the particular sheme of runways of the airfields, and about temporary grass fields, especially their precise locations and orientations.
Well, at present, I am purifying the map of broken ways and similar issues, under the auspicion of Aviaskin guys.

Many thanks, the first and the fourth link is very useful to me. The second link was, in fact, the basis of the AF location at the present state map.
Your help is very appreciated, indeed.

Hi, Uzin

I've flown at your map, it generally looks nice

But could you please eliminate this so to say "sea all around effect" from the map, if possible?

Good work, thanks mate 

[Poltava]

Yes, I've also noticed that "sea all around". It looks a bit wierd. Haven't seen it on any other map, not that I remember.

Yes, it is now done at the new working version, not published yet, together with repair of other several mistakes it contains, namely, the coutry road pieces at wrong places. Now i am working on the improvement of airfield shapes. See at Aviaskins,
