Do you have an idea where we can find this map? To use it would make a soviet-polish war scenario so much easier.

To be honest, the river is to narrow. The Weichsel/Visla is close to the Baltic a big river. But i think it is not a problem. Use the standard tile, its good enough.

It is the correct way to follow the height path of the river. You can fix the heigh datas if they are wrong with TDF editor. The path of the river Weichsel/Wisla/Visla/Vistula/ Ви́сла is correct for the lower reaches of the river (without the Weichseldelta). But in the area you need for a soviet polish scenario the river is not tiled. The red line show the river as you placed it on the map. The green lines are rivers, which are neccessary to be placed. The green "circle" is the position of Warsaw, the polish capital, which is indispensable. The yellow lines are rivers which would be "nice to have" but not really ne ccessary. As you see, the area, where the battle called " The miracle on the Vistula" was fought is not tiled yet.

I check it out. But next time it would be enough if you send the ostpreussen.hdf and the tdf file.

On way home you could have visited the Flugplatzmuseum Cottbus or Luftwaffenmuseum Berlin Gatow. Both have nice plane collections.

Here is the very early phase terrain which i had called Ostpreussen (East Prussia). It has no airfields, no populated target areas, no rivers, no roads. The tiling is rudimentary. Only 104 towns are placed as simple squares on the map. It need a lot of work to finish it. But if someone want to do the job, feel free to do it. Only one thing: Give me proper credit for the basic files and Jan Tuma for the tileset, which is included in the package. Ostpreussen.7z

I have tried to move the terrain from WOE to FE, but it allways crash to desktop. Surely it is only a minor mistake in one of the lines, which i still have to find. Basicly said. The terrain covers the area of the modern Poland, or the old german east areas Pommern, Schlesien, Ost- and Westpreussen and in the middle the old polish republic and the two southern baltic states. The big river in the mid of the terrain is the Weichsel (Wisla if you use the polish name). In the "knee" of this river Warsaw, the polish capital is situated. The outer north east bay is the Bay of Riga, Riga is the latvian capital. So the battle on the Weichsel could be part in a polish soviet scenario. The soviet attacks reached a line approx between Warsaw and Königsberg and Warsaw to Krakow. But all fights east of Brest to Kiev or Minsk are not part of the map. The status of the terrain is very early. auto placement of cities is only done for the german territory and the so called "korridor". All other things still have to done. No rivers layed, no streets, no runways, no populated target areas and so on. The red dot is the town of Memel (Kleipeda), the blue whote dot is Königsberg. Which are airfield for test reasons.

More than 10 years ago i started a Poland terrain for WOE, but i never made more than the first steps. It covers some parts of the needed area.

Everywhere on my hard disk i have a terrain, that covers the islands of Estonia, which was the target of the biggest amphibious operation during WW (Operation Albion)! But this is not the needed area for a polish-soviet war scenario.

As far as i know there is no terrain for FE, which covers that area. By the way, its a very big area with a lot of endless forrests.

Flow flow flow your plane gentle down the stream ...

When i started the project of reworking BoB terrain i simply underestimated how many rivers there are in France. Each single Rivertile has to place by hand. Oh my!

New Cityport tile.

Some years ago was a Su-34 made by Insky or so. But it was baned because it was suspected to be a result of software piracy.

Close to Le Havre. New riverend tile.

Long time ago my parents had had a ukrainian car. It was a Saporozhez. What a terrible .....

This ship was built by ukrainians, what means it is rubbish. ;-)

The main problem with MiG-23 was, that this plane had always to flown with continous autopilot support. Without support the plane became dangerous for the own pilot very quick. This happend with MiG-23MS in Nellis. The egyptians sold only the planes, but not the documentations. So the US pilots tried to fly the MiG-23MS usually without autopilot support, which caused some crashes. The autopilot systems of the MiG-23 were improved very much during the times. The first generation autopilots were operating often to slow. This caused dangerous flight incidents. In the LSK (East German Air Force) the MiG-23BN had had such first gen autopilots. IIRC nearly all MiG-23BN which we lost, crashed because the autopilot failed. The MiG-23MF autopilot was much better but the plane was still a pure interceptor with outstanding acceleration and poor agility. The MiG-23ML had a much improved autopilot, was much lighter and stronger. While the MF was limited by 7g, the ML was limited by 8.5 g. The best agility the plane got with the "unofficial" swing wing position of 30°, not 45 as officially demanded. With this wing setting the plane was able to do a 360° turn in less than 22 seconds (or was it 23 seconds?). The MLD had a further improved autopilot and the dogtooth on fixed wing, which improved the agility even more. In 1990 the USAF recieved a gift by the german government. It were nearly all MiG-23ML of the LSK and the complete documentation. The planes were used in Nellis and afterwards the complaining about the MiG-23 stopped. MiG-23ML at Ramstein AFB shortly before handed over to the americans.

Some road tiles are made now. (He-100D shot down Hurricane near Manston.) The area south of Manston Airbase

Lucky shot. Two Spitfire destroyed with one long salvo.

Its a beauty! What a pity, that the development was canceled in favor of Ye-231, the later MiG-23S.

Yep. The Ki-61 based on the Heinkel He-100D.
