Very Large printable map of game area?

[IvanK]

I will share it when its done. Just need to add the French rail system ... no idea on a timeline though.

On this I can certainly help you as I have the full 1940 French railway system of the game area (and even a bit more as the latter has slightly decreased since the original idea of MG) as a kml file.

I have separated the standard gauge system, the 1 m gauge system and the specific German military system developed for the big guns.

You should know however as far as France is concerned that most probably a very small part of the standard system is shown in-game, and most probably the 1 m gauge and military are not there at all (for now).

There are also many issues on the map itself, which I hope will be addressed later (like nuclear power plant landscape items, or 1975 harbors...things like that; some airfields are not completely well placed, and three of them should not exist at all. Some names are not spelled properly, and there are many other issues (devs are aware of all this, but corrections are certainly not a priority for now )

Let me know if I can do something for you (if you know how to convert a kml to a string of map positions, it might help if your map can be geo-referenced)!

Thanks for the offer JVM. I have no idea how to Geo Refrence the map. Do you have a simple graphical plot of the railways or is it all in data ?

Hello Ivan!

As a kml it is all in data. However you can select the line(s) you are interested in, display it on Google Earth and save the image in such a way that the totality of the line is visible as well as some landmarks: after that you can scale it in a Photoshop layer and either extract it as a color, or copy it manually.
I had to reproduce manually all the details (the track layout precision is usually better than 1 meter...) as this data is intended for the in-game landscape, but for a navigational map you can afford to be less intricate, so the manual reproduction method above should be quite OK.

Hi Guys,

I've taken Wooster's map and put it in PDF format. It's 3 pages wide and 4 pages long (A4) So 12 pages large.

I was messing about with margins but didn't' have time, so there's a tiny bit of white space between the pages, but you can just cut these off or fold them.

I used posterazor on Ubuntu to generate the PDF.

Just a quick FYI (I'm sure you're already aware of this), with the new beta patch there is now a lot more detail on the map with more towns being named and a few new airfields like Westhampnett, the satellite airfield for Tangmere.

sorry to come back to this old post but I was wondering if there has been any new work made on these printable maps,

thanks to the guys who have put a lot of time and effort on them.
