Question:
Will there be an option to replace the ingame map with a historical one? Also: will it be possible to have a flight path drawn on the map without the little airplane (like TD is currently implementing for Il-2)

The trees look excellent. For modders it may be important to have the ability to expand the types of foliage.

In some cases it might also be necessary to divide a map to have different types of foliage depending on altitude and other factors such as rainfall. Tthis could probably be done through a 3rd part program using real vegetation maps or rainfall maps - assuming the map system being used is open enough to editing.

This way the forests/plants would only have to be placed once and could then be automatically replaced with more appropriate variations. It would also be good to automatically vary the type of foliage depending on incline and whether the surrounding terrain is concave or convex (assuming the elevation points can be extracted from the terrain).

Anyway, te work is stunning as usual.
