Combatintman Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 @snake_eye It may not have shown due to rendering on your video but if not - your runway could do with some markings. The image below is taken at the threshold of the runway on one of my unfinished CMSF maps: Although it is a little time-consuming, it is pretty easy to do and really adds to the visual appeal or what is otherwise just a mass of concrete - you just have to be creative with highway and rough tiles. It is It would really finish off what looks like an awesome map. PM me if you want me to send you the .btt file (presuming that you still have CMSF) to show you how I did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake_eye Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Following Combatintman advice I have added ground marking and even runway lights. Sincerely I had not thought of it, so I can thank him for pointing it to me Here after some pictures : Runway, jetway facilities and view of industrial areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake_eye Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Good point Combatintman. Since ancient times the Infantry (dismounted) has always been considered and rightly called the Queen of battles. Now that we have mounted Infantry, parking lots seem a necessity. No parking lots, no Infantry. At least it should work that way ... Edited June 30, 2017 by snake_eye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get this as a QB map.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am looking forward to is the potential for longer range (1Km-2Km) fire situations. That is extremely rare in CM2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_eye Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Great news, I am nearing the end of the first Donetz QB Map 3900 x 2700. The next one, 6300 x 2700 will be covering the end of the runway, all the way down to Pisky (see the map). My intent is to release it before I leave early thursday morning. I only have to finish the red tinted are of Vesele. That should not take too much time, since I only have houses to put in. I have had to restrain myself putting down too many flavor object, since they will take their part of load on the CPU. I prefer to let you have some game fluidity instead of too many details, which will not help you, while fighting a battle. The following pictures will show the landmarks of the Donetz airport area and some will be able therefore to set up their battle the way they like. I will not pretend that this is the most accurate map which has been ever done about Donetz on CMBS, but it is close to what I dreamed of when I decided 2 years ago to make it. It was a painful and slow work, due to some testing and numerous leaves away from home. I also, had to let aside the first WIP done following a scale error I had made while using an overlay. That was a good lesson and believe me I have not done, ever since the same mistake. I really hope that you will found in that QB map what you are expecting and that you will play numerous battles on it. I will post the download link as soon as possible.

Erwin Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 "I decided 2 years ago to make it." Holy ^%$^! That's amazing snake... And that just the friggin MAP alone!!!

Chudacabra Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Wow! This looks incredible. Are there plans for a scenario/campaign using the map? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiduk Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) @snake_eye Small remark - right spelling is Kyivs'kyi (eng. Kievan) - without capital K after apostrophe. The apostrophe also can be ignored - it just signs soft consonant, in English phonetics it's mostly ignored for more simple writing.

snake_eye Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thanks Haiduk, your post is just on time for the name to be corrected. I am testing QB right now. Release map size will be 4550 x 2700. If nothing wrong happens I think I could upload it tomorrow. Chudacabra, I will do a scenario later on, but I will not do a campaign. IMHO the core units are difficult to set correctly, since you can never be sure of the amount of casualties an that will offset the reinforcements you have thought might be needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake_eye Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Name of the QB map: Donetz airport (4550 x 2700)attack.btt Thanks to all of you for your renewed patience along these long months. Just one more effort, I have sent my request to be an author with FGM. I should have done it earlier, but RL made me let it aside ! So, right now I am waiting for the administrator to open my account and hen I will be able to upload the QB Map. Finally, the map size is 4550 x 2700. I have made some testing but if something sound weird, well just let me know. I rushed the final testing in order to be able to release it before leaving. I might not be able to do it, but once I will get the account, I will do the utmost to do it very quickly. I have to remind you that the Red side (the Russians) is attacking the airport and that the Blue side (the Ukrainians) is defending it and or counter attacking. I have noticed that since the map is long it takes some time for the tracks and or vehicles to move in position. I think that it will be best to play the Ukrainian side and to do so in WEGO in order to have a good Situation Awareness. Beware not to set the time limit too low. I think that one hour is the least that should be used, considering the time it takes to move the units. In any case if some of you are not satisfied by the size of the map, it can be copied and then modified to what please you the most. I think that the battle will be very different from what I have seen on some QB map. That being the result of its size. Let me know what you like and or dislike on it and while playing it. Your remarks are highly needed in order to improve a designer ability and to make him also aware of its errors. All of us are doing some and the best way to get rid of them is to know about them, right ? No. I will open a new post for the map as soon as it is uploaded. A last thing. I have not done any briefing. Have a good and numerous time playing it. Just do not forget to give me credit of it if you are using it differently.
