There was, and possibly still is, a project for a 1941/42 Moscow map at Aviaskins. Last I checked, there were no custom objects and it wasn't populated, though.

I have assembled the Aviaskins Moscow map using the files posted in the topic, but it is at best a pre-alpha map- no roads, bridges, buildings etc. at all apart from those on the actors.static I borrowed from another map. Seems there has been no published work on this map for about 6 months. The area selected is good, very good indeed from an historical viewpoint so here's hoping it will be completed some day.

The necessary files can all be found in the Aviaskins topic with the exception of the load.ini and actors.static, so you can easily download them yourself :) http://forum.aviaskins.com/showthread.php?t=552

I checked out that thread. The map seems very rough and is unlikely to be finished anytime soon. It would almost be simpler to just use the Aviaskins thread for historical research (lots of good downloads of period Russian and German maps) and start from scratch.

Moscow might be more challenging than some maps, though, because to do it right you'll need a lot of custom objects - the Kremlin, Red Square and lots of other historic landmarks.

The area is huge. Moscow itself would take an immense amount of work, particularly with custom objects. Only the area to the west of Moscow is relevant to the actual fighting, unless you wish to do a PVO campaign or a "what if".

I have been working on the area to the west of the subject area of the Moscow map for months and the beta will probably be ready in a few weeks.

In short, a vast amount of work for an area of limited importance.

And that leaves aside the issue of fps drag over an object-rich area such as a mega city.

1. Complete Moscow MapI did. And it actually very crude beta
2. The project is closed by me definitively how not to recognize difficult it. A map necessary, for fight modeling for Moscow (operation the Typhoon)
3. It is ready to give materials available for me and the information, to that who will decide to finish this project

Yours faithfully

Poltava, I will help any way I can, adding roads, trees etc

Between December 4th and 6th 1941, Russian Police, farmers and an anti tank crew reported observing
3 German Horchs and another unidentified armored vehicle with large antenna in a small
development that is today called ( Lapino ) west of the river reka Medvenka -
a low level unidentified German twin motor aircraft was circling above , then went south.

Upon reporting this to military authorities in Moscow they were told they told
they were lost and they actually saw the Germans in Zvenigorod.

Zvenigorod was radioing Moscow that small German units were near or possibly in parts of Zvenigorod which is 63 Km from the Red Square
 but there was no way the Germans were in the area called Lapino today which is 35 Km from Red Square.

A suppressed report made available in 1999 mentioned civilians reporting Germans in an area called Lukino today, which is 28 Km
from Red Square. Russian AA Crews in an area in Moscow called Pobedy Park today said they opened fire on Bf 110's during the 1st week of December.

It must be a heck of a job this project.
Especially when it comes to populating and creating all kind of new objects to make it look like as it was during those days.

The default Moscow map was a disappointment to me when I flew over it the first time.
There was no Moscow at all.

Looks very promising already...

Molva is 3D maker  Me all textures for 3D.
For moment is ready map with populated(historicaly accurate) villages and minor cities
Left Moskow downtown (Red square and 3-4 churches and more)

Thanks for the help!
Briefly about the project:
1) Oknevas-author of the project (textures: winter and autumn, construction, airfields (I think 57 pieces, all new) (  map  is -80%)
2)3do modeling (MOLVA (you know for his work- the new MiG-3, Yak-3, biplanes WW1  and a lot of objects)
3)Texturing for new facilities - Greif 11 (you know him at works - cockpits Bf-109, 110, Ju-87, 88, the new locomotive, new textures tanks).
4) Besides helping a large group with ZAP and Aviaskins.
It would be unfair if I did not point out someone
I think Oknevas (on freedom of time) describe the state of the project and the project team.

Uzin, I follow the development of your map with interest :) Here I was thinking of a map stretching much further east, to cover the airbases at Dno, Soltsy, Staraya Russa and Spasskaya-Polist, perhaps even a little bit more beyond the Lake Ilmen. It was (and probably still is) a scarcely populated wilderness, huge forests and lakes, a picturesque area to fly over.

This will be the Mother of all Maps -

The special building objects for city center are works of art !!! - paint colors are excellent,

The river bank looks like Moscow in the 1720's  , both sides of the the river banks in the city center
need bridges and : Moskvoretskaya Embankment or naberezhnaya, & Kremlevskaya naberezhnaya

 Then hit the rural landscape with the most current Bumph files and it is Greatness.
