ArisFuser 2 Posted September 2, 2009 ...would it be too difficult to implement a new map for campaign missions, the default map looks too pixelated and sketchy, a new map with better quality, would make reviewing missions much more enjoyable, thanks in advance.

Rickitycrate 10 Posted September 2, 2009 Good idea. It has been brought up before and discussed. I believe we will see an improvement in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for not checking past threads , and yes, I consider it to be a simple thing to change but at the same time a great improvement for the GUI, isn´t it?

Hi Aristoteles, welcime to OFF I think they looked at a higher resolution map but it lowered fps or some other ill effect But don't worry, Devs here have solved lots of big issues and untold numbers of little ones I'm confident they'll work something out ...just may take a little time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
77Scout 3 Posted September 2, 2009 The current map is HUGE, so is pixellated because only a small area is used for each flight and is extremely 'blown up'. The crappiness of the map is obvious to all, and I have no doubt would have been improved long ago if it was easy. Winder has posted about all the problems associated with fixing this...map file becomes huge if you go hi res, not to mention the need to rescale everything about how the map functions in the game. Nope, not easy. Then again, never underestimate what these guys can pull out of their hats...we have seen many a rabbit appear in the past :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far, it looks like the ingame high res maps are not possible. You might consider using some of the printable maps that are available for dl on CA-OFF I did some restorations of early WWI maps and some others added a lot of historical info to them. Here are some links to downloads of historial maps that you can print out and that will work with OFF: ChrisPDM1 historial annotations to my Verdun maps ChrisPDM1 historial annotaions to my Somme Map Thanks, Chris!

chrispdm1 1 Posted September 3, 2009 yeah, no problem... I have an Argonne map still sitting on my PC waiting to find the time to finish putting the airfields in.... I tried updating the ingame map myself and found that it was just too hard to get the right coordiantes with the maps I was trying to use and it would take a pile (I mean a pile!!) of work to get one that was fairly legible and still usable and accurate to ingame situations... I would figure that it would take a couple months at least... and even then, I don't know what it would do to FPS.... I never went that far... I should just upload a high resolution pic into and test it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
