Air Force Bases of CloD - Printable cards

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.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

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!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful cards.

Even if there is still some modification to do, great job so far.

Cheers,

Interesting.

This issue is new to me. I have no iPhone or iPad, but i searched similar issues on google. There are several theme on the forums. Somewhere they said, the vector graphics may kill the apple apps. This is suspicious, because these files contain LOT of vector graphics (and lot of cross link too). Especially from the 4th page. We can try, that i render a pdf withouth the 4th page, and see, what happen. The other issues – which mentioned on the forums – causes full crash.

Edit: Here is the pdf file, please download it, and check the pages. I removed the 4th page, and edited the following ones. Tell me, if the iPad crashes somewhere.

Edit2. I tested on Android (Motorola Defy), Adobe pdf viewer. It loaded a bit slow, but when load it have no problem.

Just noticed this. Thanks for taking the time to look into this!! I just downloaded your test version and it crashed on me on page 6 of 7, or what you have labeled in red "iPad test page 3" where it loads and looks fine but then seems to still be loading then CTD. It's also probably due to Apple not allowing Adobe to have a native PDF reader on their devices and these replacements just don't render the same way... Pure speculation here. Thanks again, it would be awesome to have this great work of yours work on iPads, too.

I'm curious, what causes error like this. Perhaps it will be useful in the future

Intersting. The testpage 2 and 3 contain very few vector graphics (almost the same, the 2 contain linked bitmap, the 3 don't), if the iPad can handle the 2, it should handle the 3 Maybe the reader load the next page while you see the actual page? And it crashed when try to load the huge map on the page 4? (that map causes problems on my PC too. But it is attached 2 times, before I render the final pdf from Indesign... That stupid attach/link system already pissed me off, and now this... )

In the worst case, when i finish the sheets, I made bitmap export, and it will be printable like any picture collection.
