I am working on one for the US and British Airbases now as well.

What will happen is you will be able to see the Airbases change acording to
who has control of them in the game as time passes. the US one's will be in Blue
and British one's will be in Green.

And I also plan on doing this for the Ports as well if people are interested
in seeing that as well. Sorry but no 3D images to go with the 2D one's
unless someone is willing to make them and then I will add it to the MOD
just too much work right now for me because I am also working on the OIL
Sliks and Fuel sliks for the Die Slowly MOD.

please let me know what you think!

I personally have been really hoping for something like this -- it's always bugged me that I have no idea what the current friendly/unfriendly status of the various airbases and ports were at any given point during the war. I vote yes. :D

[LukeFF]

Very good idea, but if possible I'd leave out the text designating the size of the various bases.

[leovampire]

See what they thought and if something didn't look right.

Okay LukeFF you got it I will leave out what size the Airbase is.

[CaptainCox]

For sure looks good man!:up:
Good way of knowing if you are within range (approximately) to expect air attacks

[leovampire]

Depends on what you have your ranges set at on your planes in the game and the Airstrike file, Maximum Aircraft Range

I personaly don't have any planes range for more than 1500 and the airstrike file is set the same but like anything it is all a matter of taste.

But anyways I am going to bed I will post a new screen shot when I start the game showing what all the Airbases will look like on the NAV map JAP, US and British.

And the changes that LukeFF sugested

[switch.dota]

I would opt, if possible, just to have the airbase marked with a reddish-blueish airplane in a circle symbol, just like how they are marked in the campaign cutscenes. I find the extra text unnecessary clutter.

[CaptainCox]

That's also a good idea, the graphics just showing the symbols I mean. Of course showing the proper airport graphics with the flag when zoomed in.

[Hawk_345]

i would really love to have this as well, but yeah the smaller aircraft symbols might be the beter way of aplying it ingame. Still either way it will be great.

[ReallyDedPoet]

This looks good LV :yep:

Now just the task of making one. I guess I could figure out a way and see if Captain Cox will fix the size and alpha layers for me again like he did for these. In the mean time I will release the JAP one I have now and work on a different type of symble one today!

[CaptainCox]

Like I said any Graphic work u need help with...just throw it this way.

[leovampire]

Looking for a plane symble to use right now so people will have a choice between the lettering which is easier to spot or just a Colored Plane symble. I will need help making them work again LOL!

[CaptainCox]

Check Ur inbox ;)

[buzzinbill]

Ok boys , hammer out the details and the "Cable Guy" say's "Git Er' Done".
Only kidding , can't wait to try it.... This Sim has need this from the get go....:|\\

[Sailor Steve]

It looks good, but I personally would rather have a map that looks like the real ones, and I don't think they had that. I could be wrong, and it's just my personal preference.

By all means, keep at it; it does look cool.
