Hey, FYI, I just completed my map for the Meuse-Argonne region. It is in the download section.http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10634
Yeah, I have just been using google and some good old cartographing to get these maps in shape. I got away from it for a while, but finished this one up on the weekend. I'd still like to come up with a good Alsace map showing roads, railroads, rivers and towns.
There is a pile of data to use on these sorts of projects!! Olpaint's spreadsheets attests to that!
I attempted to make a map for use in place of the in game flight map, but I'm afraid it is a lost cause. Due to projection limits and possible inaccuracies, you could never find something that would match up with the actual environment of CFS3. The simple green map is 3 mb in size and if you started getting detail into there, it would rocket in size and slow the game down exponentially especially when using the map.
I would like to over the next couple months come up with a complete maps package with an index and of course maps of other areas as well, but we'll see what happens.
Thanks for the kind words!
