VERY COOL ! 
You´re back doing your magic art on the maps!. Thank you good friend.
Yes , I have the map and I will be using it ALOT in the coming days and weeks. I will be testing
some new skin versions of the AV-8b HarrierII on this map.   I have begun doing a more detailed
skin-template for this fine aircraft.

Thank you for making this map upgrade !

Ok Max. You got it.  Just for you.  I will be fixing a few mistakes on the runways, gaps and such. I will work on a few of the textures. I worked very hard on this one to make sure I didnt get the tile effect with them so I may need to tweek one or two.

If anyone has any suggestions please post them.

Hi Bombsaway

I like the map and i'm using it!
i'd like to create a some single mission based on the falklands conflict when i will have some spare time and more experience with FMB...actually i started something, but got stuck.

if i may suggest some changes, i think that the base in Port Stanley should look more like an airport suitable for jets and big planes; the other two (BAM Condor at Goose Green and NAS Calderon at Pebble Island) were grass airstrips operated by smaller planes like the pucara's.

But i understand that for gameplay and fun reasons is better to have tree bases with concrete runways.

Thank you very much for your work and the passion you share!
 

bye

Hi Raven80. I will be keeping the concrete runways for just as you said the game play of it but I may in time release a second version having the two other airstrips as grass for historical fact. With all the new jets we have the three concrete airstrips work better for users of the map.

If you like though I can post a link to the Unlocked FMB tool and you could work on this map to make the other strips grass and keep for yourself or release it here. All my work is free and I have no problem if someone uses it or improves on it and release thier version.

May I make a suggestion?
Keep everything Historial.

If the airfield is of grass, then it should be grass.
There are jets that use grass airfields too, but since we have concrete runways already included, I say,
keep everything historical.
Besides that, the Harrier jet does not need a runway. It lifts up like a helicopter.


By the way, I recall many months back seeing a screenshot of an early British Harrier (not the AV-8b Harrier II).
Anyone know of this 3d-model and if its still being worked on?
It may come from Aviaskins ?

Anyway, time to go shoot some pinguins with a Harrier jet 

[SAS~Bombsaway]

Your right Max. I could go with grass. Although when I looked a google earth today it shows an air field in the middle of the islands but when you zoom in, there is nothing there. If anyone could post some pics or maps of the area back then it would help me out a lot.

if it helps, here's some historical notes i've found

Hi all. First I thank the author for the work of making a map of the Malvinas.... I've a problem, I think I followed the instructions well but when I do a simple mission in FMB to test the map I can't fly. I press play on the menu but nothing happens. Anybody knows what could be the problem??. Thxs

[SAS~Bombsaway]

What version of the game are you running? Do you have a folder for the map in your missions folder? When making the mission, can you save it and leave or does it keep aking you to save?

What version of the game are you running? Do you have a folder for the map in your missions folder? When making the mission, can you save it and leave or does it keep aking you to save?

The versión is 4.12.2 with SAS Mod, I save de mission in 412_Demo_Missions folder into Mission folder with the name "test.mis"

When making the mission, can you save it and leave or does it keep aking you to save?

keep me asking to save

[SAS~Bombsaway]

In QMB you need to save the Mission with the name of the map. Such as  BA_Falkland_MalvinasRedScramble01.
If it won't save then you need to find out what object you are missing.
