Ramsgate, sorry, not Margate (was going from memory, d'oh!).

It really is enough to make you weep and is symptomatic of a general malaise about the CoD release; poor co-ordination, planning and cross-checking (probably due to lack of time). These are not difficult errors to correct and simply should not have occurred if anyone in the team had read a book about the BoB.

Might have given them pause for thought about the 'Rogue Pilot' plot, as well...:rolleyes:

Last one, and then I'll shut up.

Southend (spelled on the CE map as Sounthend) was known at the time as RAF Rochford, a satellite field for RAF Hornchurch and so frequently used by 54 Sqn et al.

EDIT ... just noticed this was brought to the attention of the devs back in April 2010, presumably well before the cloth map was printed? http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=136

Epic Fail. There's no other way of looking at it :evil:

I hadn't noticed the cloth map issue as it's just 'a nice touch' but the FMB should be more accurate.

Anyone noticed 'signal ground crew to remove brake shoes' is still there in the menus?

I pointed this one out in the relevant update too.

Ah well.:(

Hi do you know if the maps are 100% correct so every building is where it should be at the time, cause i would like to know if my house is there.

bongodriver 04-13-2011 03:55 PM

I know mine isn't......thats it!!, last straw, how dare 1C exclude my house, I don't care if it was built in the 50's, I have been flight simming for 80 years and they owe me big, and if they don't put my house there with bells on and a proper coloured garden.......there will be hell to pay.

Blue 5 04-13-2011 03:59 PM

Your house is there, but it's 200 miles NNE of it's real location. Oh, and they've misspelled it :-P

Original BoB map for your reference (via RAF website)

interesting reading http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/controlsys.html

Interesting that Southend is referred to as Southend, not Rochford. Confusing eh!

I'm not impressed by the CE map, and the in game map isn't much better. The IL-2 1946 ingame map is much better for navigational purposes in regards to following roads. Hopefully the ingame map will be improved but I'm not holding my breath as there are a myriad of other things to fix. That said I still find the sim entertaining even with all its faults.
