Good morning,

After having to recover all of my Mediterranean installs last night after they all went belly up, I was able to recover them after housekeeping the OBJECTS_DP folders.

So this morning, I have some preview shots of Rome, which will be uploaded (hopefully) on Saturday.

Here is Littorio airfield...

And who is responsible for this work? Robert John and Kdriver. Kdriver has become quite the scenery builder himself! :very_drunk:
 
Thanks Andrew. Here are some shots using Captain Kurt's Spanish ground textures.

Good morning,

It looks like this upload is going to have to wait a few days...Kdriver and I will be out of town on consecutive days, and I'm still having some issues getting the Rome rail yard bitmap to show.
 
All the buildings look great. You have really captured the look and relationship of the inner city buildings. St Peters and the avenue from the Tiber to the piazza are barely distinguishable from aerial photos taken in the late 30s. Love the way you have captured the Spanish Steps. I will probably be told, to use an old Aussie expression, to pull my head in, but being very familiar with the Eternal City it seems to me that one of its hallmarks is the plan of its long avenues terminating in great piazzas.The avenues unite the city and it would be great to see the very long vias converging on Piazza del Popolo, overlooked by the huge expanse of the Borghese Gardens.
Regardless of any extra scenery, the city we see will be seen from the air, and that means seeing not just buildings but the spaces between them. I think it would be a more unified urban environment if the ground beneath the cityscape was an even texture, so that what we see between buildings actually looks like paved streets, alleys and all those small piazzas.
