KURLAND

[Ian Boys]

Features:

- Autumn and Winter maps
- New ground textures
- Winter map with "just snowed" look - dark forests, cleared (summer) runways etc.
- Wide range of new bases from huge grass runways with extensive dispersals to single cleared strips for emergency or resupply use to tiny little dirt track strips for Po-2/Fi-156.
- Very realistic - all actual bases included with unique features at each. Every lighthouse and railway line in correct position.

WiP - very detailed campaign system (at least 8 "chapters") with correct player aircraft flying from the correct bases etc.

As to "when?" - the maps will go to Maddox Games for inclusion this weekend but they need to be integrated into the game engine. The maps (incl. Murmansk) will be released for free.

So it is really great and good news. OK, now we are waiting for...

but they need to be integrated into the game engine.

Эта фраза настораживает больше всего (
вспоминая кокпиты Ju-88, Пе-2 etc

Пессимист - это хорошо информированный оптимист.

To Ian Boys: BTW thx a lot for good news. We hope to see the KURLAND in the Game soon.

Неужели Мурмаская карта будет ?

[Вован]

Наконец-то Мурманск!!! Ура!!!

What about some pic preview of new maps?

[deSAD]

... The maps (incl. Murmansk) will be released for free.

А это как, цикаво? В том смысле, что просто в очередной патч их вложат?

Я так понял, что аддон "Курляндия" будет платный, а карты из него спецовым бесплатным патчем получить можно будет. Учитывя Нормандию и Ардены, уже сделанные Яном, карты будут дюже томозные ИМХО...

Но вообщем если 1С или кто либо еще издаст в России этот аддон, то я его куплю!

[Ian Boys]

Normandy and Ardennes weren't my maps - Ilya S. made them. I only made Murmansk and Kurland.

As for pessimism re integration, really there is no need. Murmansk was already integrated into FB with no problems, it just needs to be redone for PF. There is no reason why this should present any difficulties at all. Kurland has one bug that I cannot solve but even if MG cannot solve it either, it should not affect the game at all (it is a visual bug only).

So we can be optimistic.

(Sorry for writing in English - I read Russian no problem, but have no Russian keyboard).

Ну тогда большое человеческое спасибо за работу!!! И удачи в следующих проектах Ждем аддон с картами.

1) вопрос а карту для печати можно уже увидить?

2) arcor.de - ты в германии??

[Ian Boys]

1) The map (2d map used in FMB and in-flight navigation) needs to be done by MG so I don't have it yet. Because MG do it, it ensures that all of them have the same style.

2) No, I'm in England - a friend (CSThor) hosted the image for me on his server in Germany.

А что это за адд-он, о котором Вован говорит ...

Я так понял, что аддон "Курляндия" будет платный, а карты из него спецовым бесплатным патчем получить можно будет.

:confused: Я так понял, что речь идет только лишь о картах ... или все же - адд-он?

Да, еще одно ... можно ли узнать поподробней о том, о чем упомянутый друг (csthor т. е.) пишет на сайте ... Я вот о чем:

I have created this site in order to provide Maddox Games with enough background data for a really historical campaign in their upcoming "Battle of Britain" Air Combat Simulation. Since I only have enough material and knowledge about the Luftwaffe I have decided to solely concentrate on the german part.

Что это за "really historical campaign"?

А самолеты новые будут?

[Ian Boys]

I would LOVE to see the Po-2 - in fact this map has several airstrips (podskoki) designed especially for the Po-2. But who is building it? Will it ever be finished??

[Пахомов]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ian!
That's really great news!
