In IL2, the Leningrad map has a lot of lakes on it that look suspiciously like craters.

i think the solution for good editor map is simple.
For the reliefs of the ground : create the accurate editor tools for terrain slopes descents anglings craters inclinations line of coast borders ecc. c.
For the city and airport: all city in europe are very different conformation of port city to the sea and city in mountain.Zone industrial zone commercial residential area zone seaport zone coast beach or coast tall zone airport .whit in the IL-2 simple zones, or CITY sattellite immage.
CITY and airport in WW2 is very important priority.

Well, Xilon, I'd tell you this: everything in the game developing business is extremally simple. The problem is, all the gamedevelopers are totally clueless people.


Ok, just couldn't stand it. Went to listen Mark Knopfler's "Money for nothing" record...
