I've never checked in-game, but does the game follow the (currently named) Region A and Region B differences?

EG: Americas Red/Green reversed from Europe.

I know the regions were set out in 1980, but previous to that I assume they were reversed as well:
"Previously there had been 30 different buoyage systems, before IALA rationalised the system. In 1980 on a conference convened by IALA, they agreed to adopt the rules of a new combined system, which combined the previous two systems (A and B) into one system, with two regions (A and B)."

Last chart for today: Heligoland



For this one I had to aproximate buoy positions, due to Heligoland's terrain (in game) having only a vague resemblance to the real thing.

Thank you sober. I am keeping a back-up copy of each chart with separated layers, so that it won't be hard updating them in case Trevally adds/removes/moves any buoy

P.S: I see from you screenie that you have add some new charts...

I need someone to take a covert picture from there observation scope , preferably using large scopes mod . I need the picture of Holm sound taken from the East before entering the sound . The picture needs to have the headlands in it and preferably bouys so that when raiding Scapa the raiding captain can ascertain if he is in the correct sound . This is top secret and should be performed sometime before September 29. Do not send me the photo until you have reached home port , keep it real .

Yep, he is... I know for sure that navigation aids in occupied France were switched on when an axis convoy/taskforce was known to be in zone (this probably only applies to major lights though). As for British beacons, I think they were switched off for the duration of the conflict. In my opinion having only lightless buoys around British coasts, and scarce intelligence about their position, would be more realistic.

I dunno , i think they would have had a lot of intelligence gathering (assumption) . Spies , uboats , aerial photographs etc . But yes , if we could have non lit bouys . Houses in SH5 lit up at night annoys me . That would be just changing the DDs images though . I could do a mod for that if you think its appropriate .

Yes, this is likely and leads to another idea: I could make some of the buoy charts of enemy harbors into B/W aerial photos with hand-written marks and notes.

This is definitely possible. With few tweaks on the buoys already featured in OH, we can have both unlit buoys and (probably), should we need for them, buoys with customized light phases.

Yes, this is also possible, but then even neutral countries would have unlit houses at night, and giving up this nice effect would be a shame. A possible woraround would be cloning some houses, leaving them with stock "night" textures, and placing them where appropriate (Spain, Portugal, Turkey, etc.).

I am working on the missions with Serge just now. 60 finished in the last three days
Anyway - just let me know what it is you guys want changed. If we look at port by port making it match with your new maps and these spy pics (nice idea)

To make the spy pictures

This can be done in SM - just merge the layers you want to see. So join balloons.mis with harbours.mis etc and you can then save some travel time
