Who is going to make this map ready for SEOW?

what needs to be done to make this map ready?

Hi Emil,

I am not sure how this map relates to the current Channel map in SEOW. Dore would be able to tell us.

In general, to add a new map to SEOW, look at the following thread: http://seowhq.net/seowforum/viewtopic.php?t=16.

Cheers,

PA_Dore is looking at it now. Shouldn't be too long before there is something to release

It doesn´t relate at all to the old map.
1. it´s 1:1 scale
2. it´s huge

This is it (with the original Normandy map and the Battle of France map):

Looking at the screenshots map sounds wonderful but I'm feared it's almost unplayable by a large amount of players as it is now, isn't it?

First sorry for my bad english language

Canon wrote to me 4 months ago, he said that there are no common parts between the beta and final map (Airbases, roads, railways, scale, industrials, ...)

For online, I think it will be better than the old one. Canon used city textures and many new light objects. He has given also a light actors.static (without trees) and a very light one (443Ko called AIRFIELDSONLY1940actors.static).
I tried this map flying over Paris or London it's better than Leningrad for example, FPS have no problem. I guess there will be no problem online.
It's a wonderful map, the best I have never seen. It would be bad not to have it in SEOW!

Brigstock and I began to capture this map, it's a great work (e.g 88 airbases and about 70 airbases layouts) I hope it will be done in 3 weeks.

If you need to download the map here's fast link with tutorial (sorry it's in french): English_Channel 1940 1945 map for History SFX

Great!

When i saw by the first time, i thought that was goint to be impossible to fly due the possible low fps.

Now after you have analyze...

Gross, prepare your server, The Battle of Britain Act II will come and this time there won't be mercy.

BTW, capture this map in 3 weeks? I will spend more than 3 weeks in decide from where to start. Just brilliant!!!!!

S!

Wow, this is a great map. It would be perfect for and Overlord campaign followed with the liberation of Paris and so on.
Will test the map this week together with Pavel and report back the results.
Question, to run Normandy2 map I'm using the modified 2GB exe, however, this means we can't use 6DOF (if you also use it client side). Does this map have the same problem? I.e. do you think it will run with the standard unmodified exe?

It´s probably a question for this forum:

I just initialized a campaign using the Channel 1940-41 map but am having some problems with it. Running SEDCS 3.2.5, SEDB32D_Channel1940_extinserts.sql, MP 4.593, If you've seen these or know how to fix would you please post here or PM me?

• No errors posted on Initialization
  During Mission planning and after mission was accepted, one dedicated escort flight's origin was the lower left corner of the map - not the base it was supposed to be at. (this is linked to the next item I think, as it was one of the flights listed in the error msg).
  When building the first mission the following message comes up several times for many flights, but not all of them:

  Unable to park flight XXXX as no local airbase or carrier could be found! Whilst this flight will probably be untaskable, this will not cause significant errors in this campaign.
  The above flight was not in the mission when I checked in FMB

  Settings are "Indust. targets: activated by GATTACK orders only" and confirmed GATTACK orders but no "triggers" were placed in dB listed factories.
  After playing mission and reporting all aircraft are gone from MP.

Once again, thanks for the help!

I don't know if it could be help you, but in this map, many airbases are temporary airbases so you have to active the DCS option "Use Temporary Airbases".

Hi Flatspin,

If Dore's advice doesn't work, send me your template and I'll check it out.

Awesome! That fixed the lost flight issue - all airbases are showing up now - Thanks!

The "triggers" for factories are still not drawing though.
[EDIT] Got it...the "sector" column cannot be "null", it must have a name.

Thanks again!
