I hope you might consider sending me a sketch of the terrain (as much details as you can, and I won't make it public) so that I could make a few hints for the places for temporary airstrips for dogfight servers.

If you don't like to show me the map, I hope you might consider yourselves providing us with some suitable flat terrain patches, located in the interesting scenery. They have to be arranged in chains of 4 patches at the distance of 15-20 km from each other. Center ones will be front AF's (btw, it would be nice to have an appropriate terrain, maybe a river, to make a credible front line between them); other will be backup ones. There are some other good configs, but what is described above is the most popular one.

JFYI, I am a very active map designer for the il2.kubannet.ru server.

Default airfields will be those actually used in the campaign. You could place custom bases anywhere, using spawn points and changing the bumpiness of the terrain.

Could we see some work-in-progress screenshots of the Tunisia map? How big is it going to be?

Gitano, this really does not work (e.g. if you get a slope), plus you can easily get the trees growing in the middle of a runway.

Let me stress one more time - we need
1. A few patches of level terrain, at least big enough to accomodate type 5 temprorary runway OR, which is really much better- a proper airfield (maybe stripped of all buildings - just an airstrip...)
2. No trees there
3. Prefererably, but not mandatory a slightly different bitmap, good for a landing strip, not for a ploughed field.

You can see something like in Normandia pre-invasion maps in places that later on become the airstrips on the post D-Day map.

--------------
BTW...
Is it possible to expand the "Atlantida" island on the Normandy2 map, making it 3-4x bigger, with another 1-2 airfields, and maybe a seaport on it?

I have attached a sketch of such map, plus the suggested AF locations for a few other maps. I would dearly like to see the proper "field airstrips" in the indicated places.

I'd say is too early to show some screenshots. In any case the map will cover from Sousse to El Guettar (north to south) and from Youk-les-Bains to the coast (west to east), incuding Kerkennah Island, in front of Sfax.

List of planned airfields.

Youk-les-Bains
Tebessa
Le Kouif
Kallat Djerda
Gafsa
Thelepte
Sbeitla

Kairouan
La Fauconniere
Mezzouna
Sfax El Maou
Sfax Polo Range
Mezzouna
El Djem

Sfax seaplane base
Sousse seaplane base

Some additional, historical airfields could be added in the list.

can you say if you plan a new smoke model for 4.12

[viktor94]

Please add all the new aircraft into the DGEN in 4.12!
And the FM-2 should get some rockets

You did a great job with 4.11!! Love it!
Thanks for your work.
