I notice this morning I can export the full 2228km square map if I just decrease the DEM resolution a little. This may not even be noticeable in cfs3 as the DEM image has a finer resolution than cfs3 will display I think( though I am not 100% sure)

Hey S, here all North Africa airbases by country and alphabetical order with coordinates, drawings, photos.

thank you, I will take a look at this!

Question about the "global layer" of MAW
If I remove it the game continues normally with all bases. Where are the bases?

should be in med_gsl.lib in same folder

should be in med_gsl.lib in same folder

Doesn't MAW also have scenedb.exe installed? If so then the airfields will also be in the backup folder of scenedb.exe

little futher along

 

[dewoitine]

should be in med_gsl.lib in same folder

Where is the folder ?

Where is this? I scoured the coastline from Morocco to Libya, and found a lot more rivers than I expected, but I couldn't locate that particular set of bends.

should be in CFS3 Mediterranean Air War\global_layer folder

Nice

 

[dewoitine]

should be in CFS3 Mediterranean Air War\global_layer folder

I think I’ve misstated. I remove the entire "global layer" file and of course I keep the "qclocation" file and MAW works with all airbases.

sorry, I notice that too but I am not sure how to change it. Maybe Bob knows??

My only thought to that is that there must be a hidden global_layer.csv and/or a gl.lib file(s) located somewhere in the theater files. You might try doing a search for it.

Cherry on top! I remove "global_layer" and "qclocation" and everything works normally with all bases.
I don’t understand anything.

When I have changed anything in the MAW global layer and created a new med.gsl and I start up the sim the changes don't take and the files revert back to their previous version. Now I copy both the modified global layer and the med.gsl files and paste them in the Mode folder, changing the file types to .qco replacing the ones already there. I think these are the hidden files you suspected.

Looking really great. Looks like you solved the phantom islands problem around sloped shorelines.

Great approach to harbors and such. It will be visible for great distances instead of popping into view suddenly. And it still doesn't prevent someone from building actual dock models on top of them to provide detail at closer distances.
