I have looked at these re-textured maps and I must say they are brilliant. I particularly looked more closely at Viet Minh and 3BG Korea.
VM looks excellent and better than my own retexture. I did notice the static.ini file is smaller than mine. It looks like some of the smaller houses on the south side of Haiphong are missing which would explain the smaller static.ini. Doing this does not detract from Haiphong but probably makes frame rates a little faster over the city. I wonder if Hanoi or other places have buildings missing? Anyhow, I give your VM map 5 stars
3BG-KTO looks great as well. The airfield textures are much more fitting to the surrounding areas (especially Pusan's and the other one just up the eastern coast - can't remember the name!). Coincidentally, just a couple weeks ago I had replaced airfield and city textures on this same map! I used vpmedia Berlin city textures and must say they looked very nice (the buildings were originally placed using a similar stock texture so the buildings fit better along the streets).
This map could be much better if there was more populating and more attention to location details. I have always wanted to make missions for the early war retreat to the Pusan perimeter but many small towns are missing where there were battles. I noticed at least one airfield missing and some roads seem out of place going over hills. It would be nice if someone could add more detail to this map. Vpmedia has greatly improved on the textures but the map still falls short of what it could be.
Thank you, vpmedia, for all the nice work. I'm sure it was not easy to get all the textures looking just right.
