4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[sabyyy]

Hi,

I mostly play the Balaton map in IL2.
In UP, the hills are 'there', but in 4.11, the map is flat without hills.
Anyone knows whether this is addressed in 4.12, or this is something not depending on patches but I should address this some other way?
Apologies if this is not the correct thread for this, so a link to the correct thread would also be appreciated.

Thanks

If I remember correctly the original Balaton map mods were by Vpmedia and included a new terrain height map (map_c) and new ground textures.

Balaton was one of the early experimental map mods where a lot of the map making "secrets" were unlocked.

Great thanks! By your answer, google led me to Vpmedia's site, so now I can use the updated maps in. 4.11, and hopefully will be able to use them in 4.12 if they are not already there.

You can only add maps if your game is modded.
If you only want to add maps then use SAS Mod Activator v4 for v4.11

Ahh so it's VPMedia who I should complain to. I love the guy but wish he had modified the names too... backwards compatibility is a huge problem online and offline using older campaigns.

I agree 1001% Icefire. There are a lot of issues related to the name confusion between "stock maps" and "modded stock maps", with no effective rewards.

Some photos that I'm able to share with everyone from 4.12. The final 4.12 patch is closer and closer but until then I'll try and share some fun stuff.

And a bunch more...
