[REL] Navigation Map Make-Over with Airbases

[JoeCorrado]

Nbjackso, are the Japanese airbases in the North, around Dutch Harbor located correctly? I haven't played that area for a while but if I am remembering right, there may be a problem with their locations. I know that they had an air base at Kiska, but one within about 100 miles of the U.S. Base... is that correct?

Thanks again for your efforts, this has become a favorite mod for me.

JoeC, my old nemesis, and purveyor of IJN airbase historical accuracy. How ya doin' ole buddy? Well, I think I fixed this in the last version, (ver. 1.2). However, I did snap a few screenies from Dec. '41 - Apr. '44 on version 2.0 just to double check your claim.


Dec. 1941


July 1942


Feb. 1943, (Note: Distance from Attu airbase to Adak is approx. 600 NM)


Sept. 1943


Apr. 1944

So, to answer your inquiry, Is this 100% historically accurate? - probably not.

Is this a reasonable facsimile to enhance MY vision of a better looking navigation map in a WWII subsim computer GAME. -Yes.

Status of update release: Due to being away on a business trip for a few days, I expect to release version 2.0 in a few days.

Thanks for your patience and contributions.

And now for your navigating pleasure, NMMO 2.0 is now available. See first post for download link, and additional details.

If you are using any of the previous versions of NMMO, I recommend downloading and trying this latest version. I think you'll like it.

Thanks again- I must have been using the early release.

For anybody who has not yet tried this map, I heartily recommend it!

LOL - That's funny you mentioned that. Right after I uploaded this mod last night, I started messing around with one of the files, thinking I may do an update for the map that would be better suited for the German side if your sailing U-boats. Right now it is only a thought, so don't expect anything soon.

Nah, I like to sink ships that have flags with red dots in them! But for those who do run around in u-boats, I'm sure they would appreciate your efforts.

Hey guys,

Just curious, I'm not trying to toot my own horn (insert appropriate smilie here) There has been almost 100 downloads in the last week and a half, and not much feedback. If your using/used NMMO v. 2.0, I'd like to know what you think, (good or bad), and if you noticed any problems. Has anyone tried to sail around the world yet? Transiting through the Suez and Panama canals @ 4x TC can get pretty boring.

Anyways, I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

Thanks
