Small progress. Real life issues.

I reworked the airfield file. I hope you like it.

Then i changed the color of the "road" objects, which i use to build the target areas. They now fit better with the roads, that are painted on the tiles.

A great improvement !

I did some work on the panzer pack for the Ukraine terrain. I adjusted the armor to more or less correct values, included the lower hull with reduced armor thickness and added the tactical numbers and the white cross. For the T-64B i did dome photoshop to change the wheels from massive T-74 to small T-64.

Here the ukrainian T-72M1 and the T-64B

I took the stock Leopard1A4 tank and gave it a new skin.

Its hard to believe, that a little bit paint can change the apperance of a very simple LOD so much.

And this is the old Leopard 1A5 LOD made by Gabilon in 2005 with a new skin for the Ukraine terrain:

Russian T-72BV, repaint of the stock T-72A

Its not perfect. The curvy shape of the turret makes it difficult to paint the ERA tiles properly.

Its a pity that it is not possible to remove the smoke grenade launchers and the V-shape on the hull front.

SitRep: Parkingpositions of planes at Mar del Plata Airbase are now correct.

At the request of one of our argentinian friends: Isla Martin Garcia Airport. First development stage. New tile is made by Satpicture. Still missing the TOD trees and buildings.

The brown water is direct from sat photo, but it looks like a desert. I must change it.

Its a very small airfield with a very short runway. After first testing i had to make the runway longer than on the tile. Its reaches now till to the small river in the north of the island.

Its still a lot to do.

SitRep: Isla Martin Garcia and the small airport there are finished.

Next step will be to finish the port and the Naval Base of Mar del Plata.

Looks really good! Excellent work!

New version is uploaded. Contains now a green and a brown tileset for seasoned terrain, three new argentinian airbases and the port of Mar del Plata. Hope you enjoy it.

Ideas for further improvements:

Placing more argentinian towns at the map

Adding some industrial areas, ports and naval bases for Argentina

Making Urugay to friendly nation and bring one more urugayan airbase on the map.

After looking on my terrain and then on Google Earth i realized, that i placed Montevideo at the wrong position. So i had to move it.

Near to horizon you see the city tile at the old position. In reality there is a town called Ciudad del Plata or so. Montevideo is around the bay, which is a natural harbour.

Same position, but view to the south, the suburbs of Montevideo along the coastline and the Montevideo International Airport

Short view of this airport.

First steps, there is still a lot to do.

I decided to rebuild Montevideo Airport from scratch. The first step is done. The two main runways and some taxiways are layed out. At the moment the airport consist of 41 single objects. Its like a big puzzle. So it looks today:
