Map corrections & rework
Posted: Sun 19 Dec 2010 3:08 am
Hi 4Shades & Dore,
Over the last 6 months I have made a few map corrections for possible inclusion in next HSFX release.
These were done in an effort to correct known map errors that resulted in broken railway lines or to make a small improvement to map.
In some cases the fix was very simple and just required a bridge type to be corrected or section of track restored where it was missing.
In others the railway break was a result of poor routing of rail too close to bridges which required the line to be rerouted away from the problem area. In one map it required a rework of a small section of map with new bridges and rail line moved.
Should these changes be adopted into HSFX then updates to railway and road networks will need to be made which of course, I am happy to do considering I made them.
Here is a summary of what has currently been corrected and supplied for HSFX inclusion:
* Kursk - 2 breaks in railway. Incorrect bridge type corrected and railway line corrected
* Kurland - 1 break. Incorrect bridge type corrected
* Lvov - 4 breaks. Railway re-routed around bridge intersections
* Kuban - 1 break. Missing section of railway completed
* Balaton - Numerous breaks. All corrected. Missing sections of railway completed, railway re-routed around bridge intersections, new rail bridge for re-routed railway, intersections corrected, new map artwork (summer and winter) reflecting changes to one area that had major rework
* Stalingrad - 2 breaks and improvements. Incorrect bridge type across river corrected, railway section corrected, heights in some areas corrected where roads and rail dissappeared into ground, new road bridge added south of Znamensk, empty industrial areas repopulated (summer and winter maps matched), objects found on roads (houses, fences etc) moved or deleted, numerous doubled up objects deleted
* New Guinea - extended the water to the south and east and currently available in the CHIMP mod. Probably just an additional map
If you need any more detail in the meantime please let me know.
Cheers,
