To bad about the airfield mate and just when you had it working and looking good but you are onto a winner with this so persevere, the land is simple enough to add, you've managed to learn so much in such a short space of time with no poblem at all so don't be daunted by these little set backs and you'll have this how you want it in no time at all.

Your right. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I dont mind starting over. I'm also reworking Marcus Island as well.

[DaveOD06]

Land fixed. I gave you enough room to make a ~1300 m runway with a landing pattern across the harbor. I also re-did the color map and added reefs.

I'm also reworking Marcus Island as well.

^ I was thinking the same thing. I'm probably going to give it the same treatment I did to Wake. I also want to do the same to Tarawa, since it will use basically the same textures as the Marshalls, which I have already developed.

[SAS~Bombsaway]

Thank you Dave. I'll get on it. Tarawa, Makin and Kwajalein really need a lot Map_c work. There just isnt THAT much shallows there in real life. I have started with Kwajalein's map_c but its been on hold for a while. Marcus isnt too bad. I'll post some pics both real life and what I've done soon.

By the way. I'm using a newer version of Chichi so what do I need from what you sent me to replace in mine? map_t and map_c?

[DaveOD06]

Bombs, you'll probably only need to replace map_t and the load.ini I would think. As for those other maps, I already have Kwajalein done. It's part of my marshalls map.

I tried that but it didnt work. Should I send you my chichi folder and the tex folder for it so you can see what I mean? If your busy, I understand.

[Blumax]

If your using a different version then just use Daves map_c files, don't change the load ini or map_t and you should have your textures on Daves new land mass, then go into FMB an retexture the newly added land by hand and make any height adjustments with the height tool

[DaveOD06]

Sure, send me whatever you have and I'll figure it out and send it back to you.

This is very simple guys, it's not a problem and easy to sort out. i could transfer all of Marks textures and work onto Daves map, retexture the new land, move the airfield and all associated objects from the top of the hill to it's new position, align it, adjust any height issues and return in under half an hour so if either of you get stuck then give me a shout 

[SAS~Bombsaway]

Thanks guys. I tried this morning and I made land! I'm going to give it a try and see if I can do this. Thank you for your help. Both of you.

Progress of the day... I added the land and retextured along with a runway that can get a Betty in the air.

Thanks to Dave0D06 who sent me pics of WWII Chichi I think I have so far come close to the real airfield that was there. I still have a long way to go but here are the real pics...





Here is what I have...





In the backgroung here you can see an H8K taking off in the water...





Here a shot something like the real pic I am posting next..





Unfortunately we cant make cliffs like you see at the tip of the point where the airfiled is but I hopw this will do


I still need to add some more land to the end of this area or I'll have to name it "Manhood Point" if you get my meaning.
