France Map WIP

[Guest ansons2]

Very impressive!

 

Hi everyone,

 

February News:

During the past weeks , things have slow down a bit due to real life. But I have completed Toulouse Town and Roussillon Area is almost finished. Next steps Provence and Camargue. Here below a few recent screenshots. More can be seen on my My SFP1 Page

 

I have the willingness to complete the Map but it will take time as there is still a lot to do !

great!

 

If I may suggest one thing, I'd make the trees darker (as in 3rd picture, way to bright) and... last time I was in France there were also men on the streets... or you're doing my fantasy world?

Hello everyone,

 

I just want to let you know that this project is still moving forward. Things have slowed down due to real life but I just have completed Marseille town . Next step is Toulon Town which is the french military harbor. Here below some screenshots of Marseille, more can be see here http://www.stephaneansons.net16.net/1_SFP1.htm

This project is a long story but patience is required to get it completed.

How is this terrain progressing? Did it ever get released?

 _{Hello, Here a few news about this project:}

_{The Map is still WIP, due to real life the progress have been small since my previous post.}

_{I am still working on the Lorraine Area (East of France). I have to put buildings and trees on Metz Town. So far I have completed lakes and rivers located in this area.}

_{After completing Metz Town, I will move to the Vosges Area and then to Alsace. Alpha and Solid objects are ready to be placed. Populating Towns takes time as the town's tiles are made from actual photographies and thus the town's tiles are all specific. Orienting hundreds of buildings per tile takes time. Here below a few screenshots from the Lorraine Area.}

_{If people are interested I could release the WIP Map as North Africa, Italy, South of France (both Atlantic and Mediterannean sides), Bourgogne are completed.}

_{There is still a lot of work to be done to have the whole Map completed thus patience is a must.}

Is this still for WW2? Looks great! We could still use some missing French aircraft Though for Battle of France.

[snosna 4]

 Hi usafphantom2,

To answer your question, I have used  standard airfields data definition thus the airfields are modern ones. However it is quite easy to edit the france_targets.ini file and make cut/paste operations to replace these modern airfields definitions with the WW2 dirty airfields. For WW2 I am used to fly IL2 DBW as I the aircraft's cockpits and skins and maps are top notch.

 

Best regards
