Nice to see an updated skins pack they look good. Tried the campaign a while ago and its good but will there be an updated campaign using the correct map?

Hi. Glad you enjoyed white sun, blue sky

When I made wsbs, there was no "correct map". There was a "Burma" map, but if you check on an Atlas, half of that map in actually in India...and the AVG never flew to that area. The "Burma" map was made for a specific RAF campaign, and that's it. Ian made a nice map, but it is very specialized

I would need all of the following "correct" maps to be made, not just a small section of Burma near the Indian border, however accurate:
1)southern, central, and northern Burma. I think a Southern Burma map was made actually, but still...two new maps
2)Indo-China (Vietnam)
3)Kwangsi Province
4)Yunnan Province

That's 5 maps I have no access to

The scope of work needed to convert wsbs to any modded map...is mind-boggling. Everything would have to be re-made, every mission, every flight path, every route that every ground vehicle follows in each and every mission. You cannot simply slide a new map under the player's wings, unfortunately. Everything is scripted just so. If I had a magic wand, I would make the campaign using the 'proper' maps but to be honest, without that magic wand, I am looking at a year's worth of work, minimum....and even then, I shut out the people who do not use mods from playing the campaign. That would be a cruel sort of kindness for them

Hope you enjoy the skins :)
