According to Irfanview, the file is a "tif" format with a "tga" extension. A simple conversion should do the trick.

[Piotrek1]

Sorry Uzin but I don't use other file sharing sites, I tried to post on imgur but for some reason it fails to upload the tga file.

[Frankiek]

I can confirm that this happens I converted several fake tga from the Baltic map download

It would be nice if you release all the converted files,
maybe author of the map can do it , too..

[Frankiek]

If you use BAT or HSFX 7.03 all the textures used are already there so just don't use the one in the download. I any case I think I have uploaded the converted textures try this

[Uzin]

Thanks, Frankiek.
The files d/l OK.
The static file of the Baltic Sea map is higher than 10 MB and ed_m01.tga - higher than 33 MB, what is probably more than my comp can handle, as the game does not open for a long time, then crashes.
Just for comparison : Donbass summer map has actors.static above 7 MB and ed_m01.tga - above 13 MB , and it readily opens, even if after some longer time. Sinilarly another huge map - that of Finnsgulf.
Thanks you again and sorry for disturbing.
Best regards,
Ivan Uzin (aka Panas at Aviaskins  )

A crash on map opening looks more a problem of textures but it could also be linked to lack of memory or maybe graphic dll. Does your log  point to a specific error? In case of wrong textures the loading will stop at the first problem and load.ini error will be logged.

[Seppel]

I am sorry to cause all that problems :-(

By the way:
Did anyone find some mistakes in the map so far, that have to be fixed in a version 2 ?

Unfortunately I did!

Hi to all users of this map!

I am reworking the map to remove some errors I found.

I want to ask again, if anyone found some mistakes of the map, that I can correct in version 2?


Thanks in advance!

[andrey65]

I really like the map. I didn't see any errors.

Hey, nice move.

Actually, I am building a He-162 campaign on this awesome map right now and I would have questions regarding the layout of Husum and Leck.

What material are you basing your Leck layout on for example and what time frame is it supposed to depict since the two runways are under construction? Maybe they could be finished to make this place realistic as per a mid-late war timeframe? As it is now, it looks like a very specific and very early point in time.


Here's an excerpt from "Luftwaffe Airfields 1935-45
Germany (1937 Borders)"
By Henry L. deZeng IV

Leck (GER) (54 47 20 N – 08 57 45 E)
General: operational airfield (Einsatzhafen) 32 km W of Flensburg in
Schleswig-Holstein; airfield 2 km NW of Leck.
History: built between 1939 and 1941.
Dimensions: approx. 1200 x 1200 meters (1300 x 1300 yards) in the
shape of a square.
Surface and Runways: grass surface with a large amount of artificial
drainage. Had 3 concrete runways measuring approx. 1200 meters
(1300 yards) NW/SE, 1165 meters (1275 yards) ENE/WSW and 1165
meters (1275 yards) ESE/WNW. Ladder-type servicing hardstands
wrapped around the entire N side of the landing area, some of these
separated by blast walls, and 16 more of them in the shape of a “U”
were at the SW corner of the landing area. A paved taxiway encircled
the landing area. Equipped for night landings with illuminated
runways, perimeter and obstruction lighting and a short version of the
visual Lorenz system.
Fuel and Ammunition: refueling points were located at the servicing
hardstands. Ammunition dumps were in a woods off the N boundary
(30 bunkers) and 1.6 km farther out in the same direction (smaller).
Infrastructure: had 1 large and 1 small hangar with paved aprons
near the SW servicing hardstands with nearby workshops. Barrack
blocks, admin and stores buildings were along the S boundary. The
control tower and operations block were in the same location but
separate and closer to the runways. A special rail line served both the
S and N sides of the airfield.
Dispersal: 4 areas – Northwest, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest
with a total of 29 open and 11 covered aircraft shelters plus 7 parking
sites in Feb 44. All were connected to the servicing and runway areas
by paved taxiways.
Defenses: there were 10 light Flak positions around the airfield in Feb
44, some mounted in Flak towers. This deployment no doubt changed
between then and the end of the war.
Remarks:
Strafed by fighters a few times, but no significant air attacks on Leck
airfield noted.
8 May 45: surrendered to British forces. The airfield was found to be
packed with 270 aircraft, mostly Bf 109s, Fw 190s, He 162s, Bü 181
trainers and an assortment of 47 bombers.
Operational Units: II./KG 30 (Jun-Aug 43); III./KG 30 (Sep 43 – Feb

fighters from a variety of units assembled at Leck during the last few
days of April and the first week of May 1945.
Station Commands: Fl.Pl.Kdo. A 18/XI (Feb 43 – Mar 44); Fl.H.Kdtr.
A(o) 2/XI (Apr 44 – May 45).

The other field of interest to my proceedings is Husum. Your version is pure grass but apparently it was a paved field. That is in line with the accounts that can be found in the Smith&Creek book on the He-162

Paved may not be the same wording as concrete but to me reads as asphalt, not just grass or gravel.

Husum (GER) (a.k.a. Husum-Schwesing) (54 30 00 N – 09 04 00
E)
General: Fliegerhorst at seaport on west coast of Schleswig-Holstein;
airfield 2 km NNE of Husum.
History: a small civil airport dating from the 1920’s that was taken
over by the Luftwaffe in 1939 and developed into a major airfield.
Dimensions: large and in the shape of an inverted “U”.
Surface and Runways: grass on artificially drained clay soil. Had 3
paved runways in the form of a triangle: approx. 1150 meters (1260
yards) ENE/WSW, 1143 meters (1250 yards) WNW/ESE and 1143
meters (1250 yards) NNW/SSE. There were ladder-type servicing
hardstands at the SW corner and along part of the N bourdary.
Equipped for night landings with full illumination for all 3 runways,
boundary and obstruction lights, beam approach and the short version
of the visual Lorenz system.
Fuel and Ammunition: refueling points were at the servicing
hardstands and there was a munitions dump S of the SE corner and off
the NE corner, both serviced by a light rail spur.
Infrastructure: had 1 small hangar with adjoining workshops off the S
side of the airfield, and 1 medium repair hangar in the same area.
The main group of barracks and other station buildings was at a road
intersection 1.6 km S of the airfield. Three smaller clusters of
barracks were just off the airfield to the S, SSW and NW.
Dispersal: had 4 dispersal areas – North, East, South and Southwest
with a total (Mar 44) of 4 large and 19 small covered aircraft shelters,
and 38 large and 12 small open aircraft shelters for a grand total of
73. The largest was the North dispersal.
Defenses: not stated.
Satellites and Decoys: none noted.
Remarks:
13 Jun 44: the NNW/SSE runway noted as having been mined in
preparation for demolition.
