It does look kinda sexy.
Thanks,
Herr Trigger.

You can download it here:

For the bob map I use a very detailed raster map, but it only covers the Bob TOW (Sh3gen uses vector shoreline data, and the coverage is global), there is also a non-conform projection in the Bob data, so for this and other reasons the two cannot be merged.
In case you play Battle of Britain II WoV yourself (I highly recommend that game), take note that my raster map is now incorporated into the BDG 2.07 patch, so you might as well download that and use the map in game (without the GIS features of course):

@treblesum81: I had previously thought about making the updates persistent - so that Sh3Gen can interpret and connect updates - but this would have meant a lot of overhead and complexity and would have in the end confused many people, so I sticked with the much more robust approach of always repleacing the map update with a new one.
Another approach I have been thinking about would have been to build Sh3Gen on top of radio messages (i.e. radio messages are generated at the beginning of your patrol) and leave the War Diary altogether alone. this could have worked much better in many respects. Unfortunately it's now a bit too late to redo Sh3Gen but the lessons are learnt and hopefully there will be new sims we can work on in the future ..
Thanks for all suggestions, hopefully there will be a next project I could incorporate this in .. maybe.
