Hi all
Well, after a fair amount of work/fun, i'm proud to announce the release of the first of a series of SNARK hunting maps, the first being the Jungle map.
SNARK Hunting Maps There will be a series of SNARK hunting maps coming to the IL-2 1946 Community over the next 6 months or so. The maps are based on very unique areas of the world but be ready for a surprise as they wont be what the seem in real life. Please do remember that the maps are pure fiction but a hell of a lot of fun for SNARK Hunting.
SNARK Hunting Map 1 SNARKJungle Map This map is based on all areas and aspects of all things tropical around the world. A unique area for this map was used so be ready for that surprise. The map blends South/Central American and Asian influences together to give a uniquely populated map. Lots of tropical trees, bananas, bamboo, acacia and flame trees are added to the populated areas to make it much more colorful .In the depths of the severe jungle areas you’ll have to put up with malaria and crotch-rot. Pirates! What? Could there be pirates as well. You’ll have to download it to find out.
The map’s scale is 100 kilometers to 1 pixel.
All of the oceans, lakes and some rivers are navigable via an ed_map_t.
There are 22 populated airfields and sea bases. Some are quite hairy but fun.
There are 4 populated large to small towns
There are 3 populated industrial areas.
There are 3 populated rural areas.
Populating the above was based on towns and rural areas of Thailand but with a blend of South American and Asian influences.
Infrastructure has been placed throughout the map roads, highways and rail.

Footnote re: SNARK origins: for those not familiar with the term SNARK, it originates from the 1874 Lewis Carroll poem, 'The Hunting of the SNARK'....if you ever read this poem, you'll get an idea of the quirky mindset we had when we started this project....
