The Slot map started in November. No one had a clue, frankly. We have no official tools except the FMB (with some bldconf.ini changes so it edits maps not missions). The rest is photoshop, etc. We have to figure out what things do with no help.

That said, the Slot is now the best Pacific map for IL-2 based on map area and map selection, hands down. It it better visually than every other PF map except Burma (done by Ian, not 1C)---and we've not even finished it. Seriously, released as it is, it would be the best map except for Burma by along shot, and it would be nearly equal to Burma. When we're done I hope it's every bit as good visually as Burma.

And it has something no other PF map has, a really good choice of location and SIZE. For the PTO it has a remarkable 1.5 years of combat possible with planes on both sides taking off and landing at their RL bases.

ROFL, amen. :rotfl:

Let's see what the "Devils" have brough to us VS the "cheats" I am yet to see on the servers I play on.

We have finally realistic sounds, we have tons of graphical fixes, tons of new planes to fly, we have tons of fixes for the models, new maps and that's the tip of an ice berg. Buuut doesnt really matter, how much we rant on Tatter. Oleg says it's bad, so every mod is a cheat in the eyes of Oleg's worshipper. Maybe he should get the game right the next time so the community wouldnt have to do these "evil deeds" to fix it.
And how would I get my hands on that kind of stuff? :hmm:

Slot Map? Wow.

I was not a big fan of the "sound mod" before, but . . . wow . . .

You guys going to figure out how to repaint some of the ETO ship models, or maybe even add some new ones?

AFAIK, there's no way to add new models atm, but skinning the ships that are already in the game is possible.

Actually, other than planes it's very easy to add new versions of existing models. Soon there will be about a dozen new ships, including wrecks. You can use pieces of already done ships to build new ships (and scale the pieces), for example. We will soon have some appropriate tankers, for example.
