Very Large printable map of game area?

[wannabetheace]

Great
Any chance of having ingame image of spit or 109 in same size like this map ?
Really want to decorate my wall with yellow noise 109 or spit.

Nice one IvanK, the best you have airports that the games use and grids exelent ,would you share it when you are finish And when would you be finish wit it

[LcSummers]

Yes, really great maps here. Cant wait to have it. I really like it how the airfields are pointed out.

Cheers

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.

The raillines drawn by hand? wow...

I must find myself a large printer... Let's put this on silk

[Buzzer]

Good work gents!
Feel naked without a map...

IvanK's map looks very promising :up: .

The impressive thing about IvanK's map for me is the fact that there's a railway line between Shoreham (by sea) and Horsham. The line was closed in the 60's so it shows real attention to detail.
