Stewy's Map Pack 1 Released!

Stewy1 · 01-31-17, 05:59 PM

Just an update on Map Pack 2, boys.

Sadly, my SOCAL map is dying - it's impossible to find the coordinates of the ranges without being in the know (Navy, US pilot, etc.) - I'm not happy with the accuracy of the ranges and with 'measuring' the coordinates with pencil and ruler, the accuracy isn't great and the ranges just don't 'look right'

...but...the good news is that you're being transferred! Coming in the next week or two will be more maps - and the Virginia Capes Range Complex!

Welcome to LANT!

Welcome to LANT!

Hells yeah!
Perfect as I am working on a mission in the vacated opera, maybe even a pack. Your template would be very welcome!

Any news?

Hey Nip,

Thanks for the interest. Here's a bit of an update.

The God of DW, FPSChazly, kindly made a program for me which coverts decimal lat/long coordinates into data that can easily be pasted into a mission .txt file - so marking EEZs takes about one tenth of the time that it used to and is hyper-accurate.

He's been working on updating the program so that it can also covert deg/min/sec coordinates into the same DW mission format - but, by his own admission, he's pretty heavily into ArmA III (and who can blame him??) so the update has been delayed a little.

I can finish the Virginia Capes map by hand - it'll just take a little longer - I'll try and make some progress over the next week or two. It's by far the most detailed map I've done.

If that's not a priority - I can release a number of other maps that I've made since Map Pack 1 - including updated maps (like Syria, which now has the official Russian operating areas for both the Kuznetsov carrier and Peter the Great cruiser deployments - sadly, the airbase which Trump hit with Tomahawks is too high to map in DW

but they're marked anyway)

Thanks for your interest and support, Nip - I appreciate it, mate.

Wow that's awesome, except for chazly being lazy as always....... ;D
If you soon have means to automate work on the vacapes, I'd say wait and safe the effort, really.

Btw I released a P3 Orion mission last week where I included your template for the GIUK.
So as you can see - your work is really appreciated! Now if the community would just be more... Alive. :/

Yeah, yeah. I'm on it! haha

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Chazly's great plotting program, I've made a bit more progress on the Virginia Capes map.

The northern range was done by hand, the southern range with Chazly's program. You can see the southern range looks much sharper (and done 90% quicker!)- I might delete and re-do the northern range with Chazly's program.

I'm onto adding the Narragansett Bay ranges now (off Long Island). It's time consuming, but the end result is looking better and better!

Thanks for your patience - it's getting there!
