All objects and bases, etc... are the correct size. Just the map itself is 80%.

It's absolutely stunning.

Are there any images available? I'd love to see the progress on that map.

80% of real size sounds just fine to me. It'd be a very valuable map historically with so much of the air war fought over this area. If it's scaled down a bit to make it work... so be it. I'd just love to have some more Pacific territory to cover.

Umm... well.. it's one of the most historically significant areas in the central Pacific. Quite a bit of air combat (and otherwise) happened in this area. It'd be like the Eastern Front maps missing Kursk or Stalingrad.

The scenery in the Slot maps is fabulous and the multiple maps of the area are supplied in many date ranges. You do not fly over 1945 airbases unless you choose 1945 maps of the region. You don't have to overlook airbases that didn't exist at the time of your missions.

The aircraft in the Pacific were hot performers after 1943.

The carrier takeoffs and landings is also a big part of Pacific operations.

The Slot is also where the IJN's air service was defeated. It would never recover from Guadalcanal. Japan's fate was sealed in the waters of and skies over the "slot". The rest of the pacific war was a very bloody, very costly mopping up operation. So, yeah it's important.

It's pity that we won't have full range of pacific theatre A/C (ie Grumman) at our map/mission making disposal
