Its interesting to see the map tools which it is planned to be available with the sim.
Will it be possible to overlay scans of real maps so that these can be used as a guide when creating the terrain model, laying out roads, rail, towns, woods, waterways etc? Will it be possible to import satellite height data (SRTM Data) to create the initial terrain model? Will it be possible to automatically fill ground textures with buildings and objects, based on standard templates? If so can the standard templates be edited by the map maker? Will there be any fixed limits on the size of map which can be created? Will it be possible to copy and paste groups of objects in a map? Will it be possible to copy and paste groups of objects from one map to another map. Automatic aligning and spacing of objects? Will it be possible for rivers/bridges to be above sea level. On IL-2 maps the water surfaces and bridges are all at zero level. Will it be possible to create more complex rail systems including rail sidings, rail junctions, embankments, cuttings, more realistic looking bridges (without approach ramps), tunnels, rail over road bridges, road over rail bridges? Will it be possible to make steps in a river, to create waterfalls, river weirs, lock systems, enclosed harbours etc. Will the sea be tidal with more land exposed at low tide? Will you be able to crop out part of a large map to easily create a small custom map for online use. Will you be able to extend the boundaries of an existing map to cover a larger geographical area? Just a few thoughts. Last edited by Asheshouse; 10-05-2008 at 04:12 PM. |
