Seeing as we are discussing map corrections I would add that ramsgate airfield is totally wrong, it 'never' had a hard pave runway, the airfield was a small civil airport and was comandeered by the RAF during the war and was used as a satelite to manston, the way the game map portrays it it would seem to be a more major airfield than Manston.

some history on it...

I never looked in the british airfields as many people are (more) competent there but I guess the correction work will be also heavy on this side later on...hopefully...

Question about the grid area. Does this cover the entire map? Only our server uses missions which use the whole map, whereas for instance, ATAG use only the east.

thanks.

Also, worth noting but Gravesend in game is wrong for 1940. The original runway was quite short, being clipped at either end. You can see this with the taxiways on page 6. The runway was extended to the north and sound sometime during midwar.

I'm pretty sure the acceleration on the FM's for the Hurricane (which operated there with No.501) won't get to rotation speed before running out of room on the 1940 runway length, we in No.501 use the whole thing and it's just about enough in the two stage Hurricane

Hi. Yes, Farber made the biggest possible battle area. There are small gap on the borders, but this is the best solution.

See post 18 the grid is available as a download. The sim will only allow full grids on the map and as 10km grids seem the best size that is what I used. There is a small gap of around 2-4km around the top and right edge.

Very nice work indeed! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing your work.

On a side note, I tried loading these onto my iPad and they install and load fine but have found that at page 4 and above it crashes my iBooks and GoodReader apps. Doubt it has anything to do with what you have done, just thought I'd mention it in case there actually is something that can be done on your end. Again, excellent work!
