Topic: Northern Ryukyu Islands (Beta) (Read 10191 times)

Tested in DBW 1.71!
Many different Islands, like Vulcanos and really many small and bigger Harbors!
I think a nice and an interesting area in the south of Japan!

Unfortunately, the map seems to have a bug:
The original map was a bit smaller to the south, I added later Le Shima to the map!
From then I had sometimes (not always) sinking "shaking" ships in my Campaign!
The problem are only moving ships from a certain speed, no static ships!
So I must have made a mistake during relarging the map and unfortunately I saw this strange behavior of the sinking ships too late!
Otherwise, the map works!

This is currently a beta, Bombsaway works on an update for the map, which comes a bit later!

Many thanks to Bombsaway, because I used some older shallow water and vulcano textures from him,
The creator of the Okinawa mod map, because I used his Le Shima landscape for my map,
Paul Lowengrin for his support and Dynamic Campaign Generator,
And finally all IL-2 modders, for all the time they invested in their mods, aircraft and maps, which I could download the last years for free here and elsewhere!
Many thanks again!

Please post here, when you have the same problem with sinking ships in your missions!
Would be interesting to know, if its only a problem with my DBW install or a map bug!
Thanks guys!

Here is my re-texture version of the map. Please download the main map files in Lonestar's first post.
Backup and save Lonestar's "load" file and replace it with my "load" file and then add my textures to the _Tex folder. A couple of the textures are from the Setouchi map which should already be in SFS files in mod packs like vpModpack. Other textures are from Whitecat's repaint of Okinawa so that these islands would all look similar.

Thank you, Lonestar67, for this great map and for giving permission to repaint it.
By the way, I have no problems with ships. They all float just fine.
