IMPORTANT!
READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING! SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO MAPMODS:
This map have been tested with both IL2 1946 4.10 SAS Moddact 2.5 version and 4.09 UP.2.01 versions.
You need virtually all the objects available for modded maps, so best way is to install Boomers objectpack.
It has all objects in one pack:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12257.0.htmlRead the installation directions carefully!!!
You will also need Friction Mod:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12301.0.htmlNext:
Exctract downloaded map File and copy MODS folder to your game/MODS/ Owervrite when asked.
This file includes 2 folders:
1) _Text folder, which has all the textures for the map It goes here------>(/MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/_TEXT)
2) ag_Kt_Karelia folder, which is the actual mapfile It goes here------>(/MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/ag_Kt_Karelia)
Check that you find them in right places, othewise the map will not work!!
Add these lines Copy/paste) to MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/all.ini file:
ag_kt_Karelia ag_kt_Karelia/load.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_autumn ag_kt_Karelia/load_autumn.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winter ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winterH ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter_ice.ini
Notice: This map is huge and it takes long time to open, Be patient. But if the map does not load and you get load.ini error message, you are missing textures. If you can open the map in FMB (takes a long time), but can't save the mission, you are missing objects.
Once again:
This is so big map that it takes few minutes to load. I have tested it with my very average rigs:
Athlon 5400 2x and 4gig RAM and nvidia 8800 GT+win 7
and Acer Aspire 5738DZG laptop with 2.1 pentium processor and 4 gigs of RAM abd ATI mobility Radeon HD 4570 512.
Map works flawlessy with these machines.
Team International Brigade hopes you enjoy the map!

VERSION 1.0:Here is the latest Version 1.0:
http://www.gamefront.com/files/20154746/ag_kt_Karelia_1.0.raror:
https://www.mediafire.com/?ddfaaqxy95odzh1Just replace old files with this new one.
Several bugs fixed:
-Airfield waypints corrected
-New texts-file by Jami ( Thank you)
-3 new airfields added
- trees removed from rivers (not all)
This version uses only 1 actors.static file. It looks best only with perfect settings. If you use excellent settings, there will be green treerows on wintermap..
Those who can't run perfect, might want to use old version of the map. It looks better for old PC:s
This map will be edited by a members of Finnish squadron and Jami. They are aiming for Historical accuracy. It will most certainly take some time, though.
Team International Brigade releases this map as it is now. Teams has some new plans....
Known bugs:
Some green bushes (kust) on wintermaps..
Trees on water (floods and beavers)
We hope that you have fun flying on Karelian skies!!
