http://www.marcelboonstra.nl/michel/NETHERLANDS_1940_Alpha1Patch.rar

==============================
    REQUIREMENTS
==============================
- IL-46
- patched to 4.101
- SAS mod activated

As most airfields are grass strips, I strongly recommended "Zuti_CTO_Friction_GAttack" mod for smooth take off and landings!


==============================
    INSTALLATION
==============================
1 --> Open the NETHERLANDS_1940_Alpha1.rar (if you are not sure which program to use, try 7zip or WinRar)

2 --> Extract the "#SAS" + "Missions" + "Quicks" folders into your IL-2 Sturmovik game folder
      (click "yes" to overwrite if asked (though this mod does not alter any existing files).

3 --> Browse to [your IL-2 Sturmovik folder] \#SAS\MAPMODS\Maps
      and open the "all.ini" (if you are not sure, use notepad) and add the two lines below:

Netherlands_1940 Netherlands_1940/load_s.ini
Netherlands_1940w Netherlands_1940/load_w.ini

4 --> Add the content of the add_2_static.ini into your static.ini
     (located in [your IL-2 Sturmovik folder] #SAS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects

5 --> Done. Now the Netherlands_1940 map should be available to play with in the quick mission builder, multiplayer (dogfight - netherlands_1940) and of course ready to edit in the Full Mission builder.


==============================
    NOTES
==============================
This is an unfinished, flawed and rudimentary version of the Netherlands_1940 map for those interested to try it out.

==============================
    CREDITS
==============================
Cees Donker - for letting me use his Flight Simulator Schiphol buildings
Arjan v/d Logt aka Serval - information and drawings of Dutch airfields
Ufflakke - Dutch city block models + Dutch windmill
Project creator - Michel S. Boonstra

==============================
    DISCLAIMER
==============================
Use at your own risk, bla-di-bla..
My sole intention is to give you the option to add the Netherlands_1940 map to your IL-2 game.

Wishing you happy purring the virtual Dutch skies,
Michel

Fantastisch!

Looking forward to see this one ingame, all finished up. ^_^

Looks GREAT Michel! We need this map, especially now, when we have BOTH the D.XXI and the G.1!

I love the textures, they look very convincing. Do you plan on having colorful flowerbeds?

Here is a .rar with some maps from the 40's http://www.filefront.com/17207281/german_defenses_netherlands.rar

Promising work

Carry on, great idea, now that Waggel's North Sea map is sadly cancelled. You must use Uuflakke's new set of repainted Nordic buildings, specially made for Waggel's map; they will certainly enhance the atmosphere! Many thanks again,

Heheh, interesting thought.. however, no beautiful flower fields as IL-2 game engine is somewhat limited regarding the number of textures. Am already fiddling with what textures should have priority

Thank you, that is helpfull indeed.

Yes, I've just seen what Uuflakke did on Waggels beta map and I was mightily impressed. Amsterdam.. wow! Mind you, the FMB is doing my head in at times with placing objects, forget to unselect something and it's all messed up. And I haven't set myself on doing cities yet! 

[Fusek]

I've been collecting a bit of info because I wanted to do a Netherlands map myself I'm pretty intimate with the FMB and am willing to help out if it's needed.
