Going through my cellar for storing ancient artefacts I came across this old EAW pilot map:

before cleaning


Not knowing what I would come across or if this would at all work, I started cleaning and restoring it. To my surprise this full screen map had all the latest added AFB villages and ponds on it and turned out to be accurate to within a single EAW tile. I mean it really shows your position accurately within the EAW world whereas the default maps give you no idea about your position and you find yourself to be 20 miles or more off target. Ofcourse the map was addapted by our pilots as it's a great help in navigating to our targets and for finding homebase again (which is currently pretty hard as we're now taking off from meadows and fields which were hastily addapted for take off).


after cleaning and restoring:



A no AFB version including tilemap, elevation map and terrain object file is currently in progress and may be released around this weekend.
