Its`in beta stage, must do a lot of testing yet, but I couldn`t resist the temptation to tease you a little bit.











I'll report when I reach the end of the canal.

...Does this mean that sometime in the near future we will enter Scapa Flow the way it was supposed to be done?

[Church SUBSIM]

Oh my ...... This is going to be be unbelieveable. Can not wait for a release!

[What A?]

Ohh!!! You have just dug a channel...

Now you must tell how this can be done. ????

Sweet!! I did some preliminary research on the Kiel Canal a few months ago but I didn't get all that far with the idea. There are some good sites that you have probably already visited :hmm: that provide the width and depth of the canal in meters, etc.
If I remember correctly, the canal was dredged after WW2 to enable larger draft ships to navigate the passage.

Here's hoping that you can pull this minor miracle off and a wave of map tweaks will follow!

Bravo, fantastic!

Once it's done, if you need anyone to do some research and tweaking of the map - I'd volunteer.

There's countless results to be had out of this

That's basically my idea, I'm most of the programmer type, although I work with graphics, I have a slow machine at home, so I can´t work with big graphic files, so far more than an editor it 's a decompressor/compressor, I've done the actual editing in photoshop, once I have the program more polished,(build more failsafe checks, etc) I'll make a tutorial on how to edit, the idea is to distribute only the changes made to the map to reduce download times and then recompress the terrain data with a little program I'm finishing.

Pdubya:
The Kiel canal that I made is for testing only, sketched from a little map I found on the net, the width is approx 400 mts, I've yet to try to make it narrow, the depth is the same as in the ports 12 mts.

As I told before it havent been tested all I've just navigate the first kilometers, so far the machine is still running , when I finish the tour I`ll tell you how it went.

Exellent. Should be very useful tool. Now it is left to figure out how to add the Kriegsmarine grid in areas where it is absent.
