If you were to start at dover, Follow the Coastline on your Port (left) side and you will reach manston

Cheers bro; you're a gent!!

Actually on the Normandy maps in the mission editor I've only seen about 6... Obviously Normandy isn't Britain but I bet a level for the BoB wouldn't have more than 10. (in fact to this day I've only seen a maximum of around 10 airfields on a map, and to be honest I don't recall ever seeing any map for the BoB in the mission editor)

Just making a point.

I'm not too sure I see your point here. That one Normandy map out of IL-2's 75 maps, has as many (or more) airfields as the entire BoP experience.
Like it or no, BoP was never designed as a full & immersive experience on the ground (or in the air IMO). Like every other arcade title, it wants you in the air, seconds away from the fight & once the last adversary is downed, it wants you 'back' out of there. No bad thing to some & I guess it's in keeping with the whole console experience.
With my point, I was talking about the whole IL-2 experience, not just the mission editor but even that (the full mission builder I take it you mean) has no less than 75 theatre maps, (that's before 4.09); each theatre having it's own list of airfields with some theatres having as many as 12 - 20 airfields. And this isn't even counting the masses of modded theatre maps of which there are now some fantastic BoB maps & even BoB campaigns written for them. You can find these B0B maps here, along with thousands of other files & addons. http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/index.php

Actually I've had that website bookmarked for about a year now.

I won't disagree that 1946 is much more realistic (and immersive in some ways but not others) and altogether a much better flight sim the BoP.

All I'm saying is that IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 (unmodded) doesn't really have 'hundreds' of airfields... Maybe 'tens' would have fit better.

Think we'll just have to agree to disagree once again, as I'm certainly not gonna sift thru & count each & every airbase, airfield & airstrip of IL-2s '10's' of theatres & maps, lol

Thank you for the correct number. Hundreds indicates multiple hundreds of maps, in other words, at least two-hundred. Whereas tens means at least 20.

Have to stop you there as you're trying to win a debate by changing the content, very clever btw. This little discussion, as you know was always about the amount of airfields in IL-2 & BoP. Now I've since been proved wrong in that there is more than 1 airfield in the training section of BoP & thanks to Spitfire23, SovietAce etc who enlightened me ( I had great fun last night, trying to land a P-47 on the Stalingrad field in WoP). Thanks guys btw, I can make some vids at fields other than Hawkinge now.

Back to the point. I never, at any stage, made the comment 'hundreds of maps' because I know thru experience (& like I pointed out), there are 75 maps in 1946's unmodded, default full mission builder. What I DO know is that each of those 75 maps contains multiple airfields, airstations, airstrips etc) & so my original comment still stands up, there are hundreds of airfields in IL-2, fact & NOT hundreds of maps, that's where you seem to be steering me.
