Or conflicts. The reason why I seperated them is because I know there are some people who don't want the clutter of seeing all the Airbases but sure I can combine them both for anyone that wants it and I will do it now actualy.

And buzzinbill you had me cracking up on that one LOL!

They are now combined together for anyone who wants it.

Enjoy guys.

Just started a new career here...just an idea. Would it be possible to have the "ICONS (Airplane)" show in the main view, and the original "Airport" graphics with the flag shown in the zoomed in view. You don't need to upload that but just say if its possible code wise.

Cheers!

Mod looks good whatever but

You have to add another set of locations with the other 2D image.

When you put a map marker in there are 2 types of images that can
be used there is the 2D image and a 3D image slot for each map marker.

The 3D image is the one you can see at ground level with trees and
people and a plane can be added after the fact on the runway or in
front of a hanger if someone adds it to the 3D work.

The plane's you see on top of the Aircraft carrier's can also be used
in placement like they added ships to the ports in the game.

The Airports themselves when you place them do not use any image
at all other wise we would have seen them in the game from the get go.

So in closeing only one 2D image and one 3D image is alowed per map
marker. For example all those ports you see for Tokyo are actualy 6 map
markers in total.

The hardest part about setting up the actual airports was making sure
the location was flat enough and left room inbetween the mountains so
the planes wouldn't crash every time an airport would launch them or head
back. Then there was the problem of finding out the proper times each airport
came into play in the game and setting up the corisponding time for the airport
in the Map markers as well to match the changes in the game and to see exactly
when each airport shows up and changes from JAP to US or British.

Plus when you do the MAP markers 2D Images they look 10 times bigger in the MAP
mode than they actualy look in the game and you have to tell the game what size
to use at what zoom level. And then add it to the game and then check it out.

Many thanks for the excellent explanation. I will have to look closer at it after work today.

Cheers!
