Too right.  But I assume by CM you mean Continental Music, so alles ist gut.

The saxo moment is nice but...I would prefer that you put the following sequence to see Adjani 😄

Some news 
 
first for my friend @Aragorn2002 ONE of the red cross vehicles 

 
than again the idea from "Not introduce British vehicles" (in the threath CMRT Battle pack) this is the ones that I would like include, in CMBN, first as a floating Icons wrecks, than to replace the usual "vehicle in movements" like the British Bedford 
 
my famous chevrolet for the Canadian soldiers (they are waiting already since 1 year about !)
hull from the original Bedford with cabin and more from the chevrolet !
view from Blender the view from CM could be (will be) probably different.
 

 
also would like introduce the following Bedford without camo
 

 

 
and would like also introduce Bussing for heavy things and munitions 
hull from Opel Blitz cabin from Bussing for CMRT 
 
untill this moment there is a lot a lot of work 
more have to come

I wrote a little python script to set the elevation in the editor according to a digital elevation model. Those come in various resolutions, for instance, in Germany data for the whole of Northrhine Westfalia is available for free with a 1mx1m granularity. I then use PyAutoGui in order to automate setting the correcting height and clicking/scrolling in the editor. The script currently sets the height information for every square in the editor, not just contours.
An example height map:

The resulting terrain in the editor (3328mx1920m):

Vista somewhere in there.

The script is not terribly fast, making this map took about 7h, but it beats doing all the clicking yourself. The limitation, btw., is the editor, the script could go faster. The advantage is that you can do much better micro-terrain, I think, the disadvantage is that you can't just use an old topographical map and draw the contour lines. It would be possible to do contour lines but you'd need to have those in a machine readable format.
Anyway, if people here are interested, I could polish the code a bit and make it available to everyone, e.g. via github. If there is additional interest, I could imagine doing other stuff that way, like, for instance, drawing roads from Open Street Map.

Yes like the song "Non, rien de rien, je ne regrette rien"  this is what I said when I see yours videos works...I hope soon to help you to added some flavours...
hem hem,!!! I dont see for the time my Opel Blitz ambu to see the effect in a video... just a little remind 😉 !
JM
 

Courage and Fortitude long time ago that I play this campaign
Nice to remind it !
Yes is a part of this campaing I just see now the details thanks @Warts 'n' all.
JM

I will send you soon to check it !
 
JM

First time that I see my airborne in action very nice and happy that can help some of us.
All is perfect, a good immersion, I saw some textures on the town that I like, can you provide a link to Normandy textures also the tiles falling from house and junks on the street pls ?
JM

Well a bit more faffing around, trying to remember how to do stuff in Blender - it's been a year since it's last outing!
I made a quick and dirty flavor object of a burnt patch using the same texture as the burnt crater. It doesn't scale too well and I've discovered that flavor objects can only have one-bit alpha masks - very annoying since it means edges won't nicely blend - more economies in favour of circa 2010 CPUs and GPUs I guess, sigh ... I suspect there's a way around it but it may involve very complex masking, otherwise it's back to plan A which would be making a ground texture - maybe something like ground rocky red.bmp could be used; then adding flavor objects in the form of burnt debris to create a bit of 3D-ism. Anyway that's for another instalment, for now here's the Halbe pocket aftermath - and yes I know they should be pine trees, I just haven't made any yet ... 😉

Thanks for the wrecks @JM Stuff 

Odd shadows - burnt tree still shows full foliage shadow despite being a flavor object with no foliage! - some weird coding going on here ...

BURN IT ALL!!!!!

Rummaged around in my previous experiments box and found the burnt tree - it's not really finished and would really need some other burnt textures to go with it for best effect. I made a quick and dirty crater mod that gives a nice burnt hole in the ground, works quite well with a large crater but ALL the other craters will be burnt as well. In the long run it may be better to have a flavour object that represents some burnt stuff. Anyway it does make me wonder about a new landscape mod ... Total Destruction®©™ - War is Hell®©™ - type of thing, lots of burnt terrain textures, destroyed vehicles and smashed buildings ... here's a few pics of what I've mashed together ...

Small tree type - kinda works, texture a bit smeared. Would be nice with some of @JM Stuff's burnt wrecks...

Tall tree - works well for this one, textures can be renamed for any of the tree models - just a case of experimenting ...

Large tree type - mmm that's better, big craters as well ...

It burns us ...
More work needed but it's getting there. 
These are all set for Spring with the spring mod tag so they show up in Berlin 1945, again more tweaking could have them show up for any time of year other than snowy winter.
That's as much as I can manage for now folks - not long till I'm fixed and back to it I hope ...

Thank you all will be in a next pack but shared for
(bn bs rt sf and cw)
Details later...

Some news today
to  respond to the wish of my friend  @Aragorn2002 I present you a model sdkfz 251 d ambulance version
 
 

 

 
the vehicle is without damages only an engine problem, that the crew have to evacuated the vehicle !
 
some modifications intern like added more bed 
removing all weapons and amo boxes
changind plate number 
added more "verbandkasten"
I cannot remove the mount behind or I will lose all the vehicle structure and can no more export it in mdr.

 
 
now I see the problem there is no engine hehehe !
 

 
hope will be helpfull
Another version in on the way but first my civilian and soldier bodies...
 
JM

I am very happy to see a smile to you, you dont have to apologise I will do, and much more J., give me more inputs and time I love to do things...
Remind you this is a flavour object vehicle not a vehicle that you can give command, but one day I will also do it.
PS pm send.
Cheer for now
 
JM
 
 

The new for today
The first official dead soldier 3d, in mdr.
OK with some textures problems, but the guy is in, I will check it later !
 
 

an other view 
 

 
"Hope" to make more guys including allied !
 
Voili voilou

My dear JM! At first I couldn't forgive myself for missing this great mod, until I realized I have been suspended from 4 until 9 September! That probably explains why I didn't get a notification. My sincere apologies for that. You must have thought me an ungrateful beggar. 😀
I absolutely love your Red Cross winterized 251! Gorgeous! Can't wait to get my greedy little fingers on it!
As you already know me as a greedy so and so, I would like to ask you also to make a German Red Cross truck, one day in the future.😛 Mods like this really make the difference!!!!!!
