Wow ! What a wonderful bit of work in progress, so glad someone is actually doing this.
Something I'd like to see included :- Salisbury Cathedral - 404 ft high and used as a reference marker by the Luftwaffe in ww2. Salisbury escaped bombing in ww2 (inspite of being a major rail hub with 5 lines coming into the city) thus served as as ID marker by both allies and the Luftwaffe. In fact all the cathedrals in Southern England make great ID markers. Cheers Nearlymen |
Any news on how this great project is comming along? :)
I have the greatest respect for you guys for making this Channel map! :D |
Hi, I recently moved to a new appartment and in the last weeks it was all about painting and installing furniture and electric equipment. I do not have Internet connection yet. I hope to resume work on the map as soon as possible! :)

Hi everybody,
work on this map has not stopped, just going on quietly. There will be a short break till mid August due to real life commitments, and then I will resume work on it.

little off topic, maybe should be in a wish list, but...
is it possible to reassign these new textures to older maps, or are the .ini files buried deep in a .sfs. the pacific maps would really benefit from the Solomons textures, and Europe from the Slovakia maps. and of course, these new textures would be nice. it's a big detailed map, & it looks great. |
been waiting for this new map forever!!!
|
Nice work guys.

How's the Channel Map comming along?
This is one project that really impresses me! It will become one of my favorite updated features when the time comes for it's release! :D |

Ken Delve's "Northern Home Counties" would be helpful, if you can get it. Otherwise you could try asking here: https://www.airfieldresearchgroup.or...ssex-airfields or here: https://www.airfieldresearchgroup.or...cale-modelling Good luck! |
any news on this front?
|
I could not play for a long time, hopefully with a new PC it will be.
I am so glad that you, Team Daidalos, have brought several Bf-110 variants into the game, my favorite aircraft, I had asked for more variants years ago. This is so cool! To the Channel map I have a question: Will there be a Lancaster in the game? Maybe even flyable, so we have a heavy English bomber flyable? I still enjoy your work and look forward to this map with maybe a few new planes! Sorry for my bad english! |
Any news? :)

Now i realize how huge this map is :)
|
Nice :grin:
It will be great if it stays as a complete map and have other option maps sectioned from the main one. :grin: |
Looking great, Gitano! Well done, mate!!! :D
|
Wow!
This map is so big. Great job team! |
will be an 1940-41 edition of this map?
|
I love the sheer scale of this map! <3 Gitano, and the rest of TD off course, do an amazing job!!! :D I can't thank you enough for what you are doing!!!
No matter if this makes the next update or if it lies in a update further in the future, but it will be a GREAT addition to the game! From my personal point off view, one of the most appreciated additions of them all so far! And if it brings with it the additions of flyable Wellingtons, an early mk Spitfire and a Dewoitine D.520 it would be a dream come true! :D |
gawd, that is huge, and probably the most developed and populated area on the Earth at that time. (Only New York would be harder)
Good thing they did not have any sky scrapers. Have you made lots of new houses and castles. And the rail lines, all those rail lines. I can see rail road enthusiasts being interested in this detailed map of 1940's English/French rail lines. Amazing, need to find out what the first wave of German Bombers were that *hit the coast. And what went up to meet them. Is there going to be a radar option, even just a map/screen. Pilots were vectored in to their target/defensive areas, w alt's given. Maybe a sweeping of the map, like radar, to show Blue Bombers loc and alt, then they are gone for a few minutes. Cheers! |
Kopfdorfer over att M4T wanted me to relay a request from him since he has some trouble regestring on 1C. Here you go:
"I would like to make the request that RAF Hurn (Bournemouth) be included on the map - it was significant , and is forgotten on most NWE maps. Located in the Red Square (se link for his photos: http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...wtopic&t=22769) RAF Hurn History Precis Whilst the former Bournemouth Airport in Somerford had been turned into RAF Christchurch, a new purpose built airfield had been built in Hurn, north of Christchurch. With solid runways, rather than the grass strips that were used in RAF Christchurch, this enabled a far greater array of aircraft to access the site. Opening in 1941, RAF Hurn saw a huge amount of squadrons based there over the duration of the war. Telecommunications Flying Unit – 13/8/41 to 25/5/42 – Various types Special Duties Flight (later absorbed by Telecommunications Flying Unit) – 10/11/41 to 25/5/42 – Various types 1425 Flight – 12/41 to 5/42 – Liberator 297 Squadron – 5/6/42 to 24/10/42 – Whitley V 170 Squadron – 17/6/42 to 10/10/42 – Mustang I 296 Squadron – 29/6/42 to 25/10/42 – Whitley V 298 Squadron – 24/8/42 to 19/10/42 – Whitley V 88 Squadron – 29/9/42 to 30/3/43 – Boston III 239 Squadron – 6/12/42 to 25/1/43 – Mustang I 296 Squadron – 19/12/42 to 3/6/43 – Whitley V and Albemarle 1/II No 3 Overseas Aircraft Despatch Unit – Formed 1/43 412 Squadron – 1/3/43 to 6/3/43 – Spitfire Vb No1 Heavy Glider Maintenance Unit – 1/5/43 to 6/5/43 (formed and immediately transferred) 295 Squadron – 30/6/43 to 16/3/44 – Halifax V and Albemarle I/II 296 Squadron – 15/10/43 to 14/3/44 – Albemarle II 570 Squadron – 15/11/43 to 14/3/44 – Albemarle I/II 620 Squadron – 22/11/43 to 18/3/44 – Stirling III 438 Squadron – 18/3/44 to 3/4/44 – Typhoon IB 439 Squadron – 18/3/44 to 2/4/44 – Typhoon IB 440 Squadron – 18/3/44 to 3/4/44 – Typhoon IB 125 Squadron – 25/3/44 to 31/7/44 – Mosquito XVII 181 Squadron – 1/4/44 to 20/6/44 – Typhoon IB 182 Squadron – 1/4/44 to 20/6/44 – Typhoon IB 438 Squadron – 19/4/44 to 27/6/44 – Typhoon IB 439 Squadron – 19/4/44 to 11/5/44 – Typhoon IB 440 Squadron – 20/4/44 to 28/6/44 – Typhoon IB 247 Squadron – 24/4/44 to 20/6/44 – Typhoon IB 604 Squadron – 3/5/44 to 13/7/44 – Mosquito XIII 439 Squadron – 20/5/44 to 27/6/44 – Typhoon IB 198 Squadron – 22/6/44 to 1/7/44 – Typhoon IB 183 Squadron – 1/7/44 to 14/7/44 – Typhoon IB 609 Squadron – 1/7/44 to 9/7/44 – Typhoon IB 257 Squadron – 2/7/44 to 8/7/44 – Typhoon IB 193 Squadron – 3/7/44 to 11/7/44 – Typhoon IB 197 Squadron – 3/7/44 to 20/7/44 – Typhoon IB 263 Squadron – 10/7/44 to 23/7/44 – Typhoon IB 266 Squadron – 13/7/44 to 20/7/44 – Typhoon IB 418 Squadron – 14/7/44 to 29/7/44 – Mosquito II 277 Squadron – 18/8/44 to 29/8/44 – Spitfire Vb This was an end to RAF involvement with RAF Hurn for the time being, as in August 1944 it was transferred to the command of the USAF. 509th Thunderbolt In 1943 the USAF required a several advanced landing grounds along the south coast of England prior to the invasion of Normandy, and RAF Hurn was provided for this use. In 1943 a 1650 yard long steel and plank runway was installed to support the heavier American fighters, although it retained its original four grass landing strips. The 4th April 1944 saw the arrival of the first resident American aircraft, the 405th Fighter Group. The 405th consisted of the following squadrons flying P-47 Thunderbolts. 509th Fighter Squadron 510th Fighter Squadron 511th Fighter Squadron The next American aircraft to arrive at RAF Hurn were from the 422nd and 425th Night Fighter Squadron, flying six P-61 Black Widows. These arrived in June 1944 and departed in July, to be replaced the following month by the 397th Bombing Group consisting of the following squadrons 596th Bomb Squadron 597th Bomb Squadron 598th Bomb Squadron 599th Bomb Squadron All four squadron flew B26 Marauders. Their departure in September 1944, and subsequent reacquisition by the RAF signalled an end to squadrons being based at RAF Hurn. Castle Cabs Fate works in funny ways. Before the war, the base at RAF Christchurch had been the areas dominant airport, even referred to as Bournemouth Airport, yet in the closing years of the war (and thanks to substantial government investment in runways and buildings) it was evident that RAF Hurn was by far the more suitable airport to be used for civilian purposes. Unlike RAF Christchurch which was handed to the Ministry of Supply for use in aircraft manufacture, on the 31st October 1944 RAF Hurn was handed over to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and in the closing years of the war up until 1948 Hurn Airport became the main airport for international flights into the UK and sealed its future as the new site of Bournemouth Airport. Could you make this comment in my name ? Thanks , Kopfdorfer " |
Hi guys,
@ shelby: yes, a Battle of Britain (1940) version of the map is planned. @ Verdun: yes, RAF Hurn will be included. I have details for 1942 and 1944 layouts. cheers |
