Hedgehog Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 My wife's father pass away and we're flying into Düsseldorf then drive south to Müllenbach, about an hour drive. The funeral is on Aug 28, and then sign a bunch of papers. Out of all this, was told by Sabine that the house will belong to her. I'm planning on retiring next year and may move to Germany to stay, not sure of this yet. The only problem will be the kids will have to fly to see us :sad:Well, at least they will want to spend time with you.If they are just down the street they will be like "Meh, Dad's just round the block, I'll go see him tomorrow." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisenschwein Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Map is ready, Skins are ready, Sce. are ready...I give the Package to Falli for a last check before release it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falli Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ahem...ehrm...hmpf...eh...yes. I think to figure out 900 sq km needs a few days.But everything I could see in the May and now August version so far... wow. :eek2:Let´s see if I have the time for a few "action" screenshots at remarkable positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenschwein Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 And it´s close to "what SB can manage with a normal Computer" at this Version. I hope with 3.0 there is a smoother way with complex Maps.But this Map is very close to what it means to fight in Central Europe......so please be patient until all is checked and clear to release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So this map reflects “now” or back when the Cold War was on (say early - mid 80’s)?This is no way an adverse comment on the massive (seek treatment now) amount of work you have done.Just that if it is the world “now” and people want to use it for mid 80’s then I guess the gaps between the towns would be larger and there may well have been more manoeuvre options than the more “cluttered” map of today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Teasers, guess where and what...:As a member of UKArmour excellent work on the towns Sir,As a member of SVU, I can see a lot of are mech inf deployed to capture them. LoL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL As Comrade General Markovskievitch you mean? Our Glorious & Esteemed Leader of the 1 Markovskievitch's Shock Guards Battalion? Yeah I reckon those towns are going to be a complete bugger to invade/liberate. Nice Work Eisenschwein, I can't wait to blow it all up! :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falli Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So this map reflects “now” or back when the Cold War was on (say early - mid 80’s)?I think Eisen´s map (and surely does mine) represents the actual state.If you have high res satellite pictures from the Fulda area in mid 80´s... and additional 1-2 years -> hand it over please :biggrin:But the former intra german border will be integrated. You still can see the border area on sat pictures and it´s simply the border between the federal states of Thuringia, Hesse and Bavaria 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenschwein Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 As Falli said, it is the actual google Maps Status Quo of the area, but if you compare the Mid 80´s made Map from NVA (include in the Package) and the google Map Satelite Photos and the SB Map you will find only small difference. The most People in Germany want to live where they work, so they flee from the Country Side to the big City´s. So you see the most remarkable changes in the Area of HÜNFELD. So the Map is a bit of Fiction and the Fiction is what would it look like if we haven´t have Glasnost and Perestroika and "The Wall" still stand in the Heart of Germany.... For Example and for comparison Hünfeld: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falli Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 After the successful test of Eisen´s map, I´ll work on my map again (as far as I come until 3.0 release)Unfortunately my map is already supposed to work with PE 3.0, exspecially when considering the new bridge function. This is absolutely necessary, otherwise complete valleys will be cut off by large bridges all over the map.Yes, German secondary mountains have a lot of valleys :tongue:If it will work with 3.0 and all of its changes has to be tested first.Due to the extreme grade of details (Eisen´s map is very similar) also a performance test has to be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
