Slovakia Map
 

Hi all,

I been fliying the beta slovakia map for a while now and first i want to congratulate the team who has made possible so brilliant map. At last we can enjoy realistic airstrips, the villages look also so realistic you expect to see the postman on the street, the cows on the fields, the priest walking around waiving people... anyway. I have been following the threads about feedback about this map and it seems everithing is in order. Is there any information about when the final release is going to be?

Cheers.

Also Is there going to be a winter version of the map?

Thank you in the name of the whole mapteam ;)

Maps are ready for final release for more than two months. I asked Oleg at least two times wen the final version will be released. AFAIK we all are waiting for some programmer to put it together.

Winter - yes. Looks even better than the summer/autumn map :P

Cheers. Breathless in anticipation.

You have a winter map ready too! NICELY DONE! :)

It looks awesome! all of you who have worked on it have done a great job!

You guys have done an amazing job. I sometimes just fly around at tree top level and enjoy the scenery. I also went on the web and checked out some of the cities you have modeled. One of these days I'm going to come over and ski in your country. There is only one thing missing...people! You have found a real ballance between the landmass and buildings and if SOW comes close to what you have done it will be the standard for the next decade. What I also enjoy doing is flying around the pattern and doing touch and go's, never did that on any of the other maps. I think your team just increased the shelf life of this sim by another 2-5 years!

Wow! I didn't know about this. My toes are wiggling in anticipation! :D

:shock:

Awsum.

Now, for it to be released...

How can you ya make it any easier. I guess we need to resort to Russian Mafia tactics!

Give us the Final 4.09 or we'll just take a finger for every "two weeks" that go by :P

:lol:

I have been knocking up a few FMB missions for the fun of it and I am very impressed with this map. Thankyou very much.

In the process of building these missions I occasionally have come across minor oddities like houses on railway lines. Should I be posting screenshots anywhere for possible correction or is this map pretty much finalised ?

Hi, bug reports were officially posted here: http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthread...411771&fpart=1
or here:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=slovakia+map

Most of reported and known bugs were repaired, especially town and village objects, roads, railways and texture placement. Map is finished and ready as of february. Also winter version was prepared.

It really is a damn shame, that 1C is unable to make DS with this gorgeous map. Damn shame, i just have to repeat myself, but it really is.

Just exactly where do I find this map?

Use the Full Mission Builder and load the map! :)

In the 4.09b1m patch.

It ships with the 4.09 beta but the beta doesn't include any missions that use it.

If your not familiar with FMB just bite the bullet and give it a try. To just sight see all you need to do in FMB is load the map and add EITHER a home base and save it to one of the net folders and start a multiplay server or two way points for a player plane and hit play within the FMB.

I have made up a series of fun whacky very non historical instant action missions on the Slovakia map to try out some of the new objects. One I particularly enjoy has you are parked in an Emil near a small outhouse in a remote village up in the mountains when a couple of Fiat biplanes bomb your washing line and you need to do a very rough bush takeoff and get your revenge before putting down on a bit of road in the next valley across before you run out of fuel :)

If I get a chance I might post it a couple of the Slovakia missions I made up somewhere for people that do not want to fiddle with FMB. Though I am pretty sure there will be quite a few other people with missions already available for download if you scout around.

Indy/Jurinko

How safe is the current Beta map to start mission building? Is there anything on the completed map that might upset missions that have been created already? (e.g. Airfield spawn points changing).

There have been documented changes on some of the new maps..some of them major. Don't let that stop you, but be aware that when the reworked maps are finally released, your mission(s) may be affected.

One thing I would advise against is making a campaign using one of the new maps.

Aviar

Aviar - do you know where these have been documented?

The final airbases including spawnpoints are described in the Slovakia final readme:

http://www.letka13.sk/~indy/readme/slovakia_readme.pdf

There are two more coded airbases - Drazkovce and Muran - but for small AI fighters only, more info in the readme.

Other changes - some cities were finalized (Trencin) and all objects found on railways were removed (in cities Trencin, Liptovsky Hradok). Also texture placements were improved but it does not affects missions.

I think it is safe to create missions with the beta, possible mission adjustments can be quickly done with the final map.

Thanks Jurinko!

Anyone have info on the MTO and Bessarabia maps?
