Hi all,
I present to you the map I'm working on, welcome to Pearl Harbour on the morning of December 7, 1941.
The map is O'ahu's island (70*70km), based on topographic data and high definition satellite imagery.
You can try to defend the harbour, or takeoff from "Akagi" carrier and take part of the bombing raid with a squadron of Aichi D3A1.
I hope you'll like it !
This is look awesome. Its will be best map in simpleplanes!
@MisterT Well...time to get in a P-40 then...
@MisterT Oh wow, I didn't see your resource links, I've been looking for that type of stuff for months!
@MisterT Yah, I had a similar project, I have working on a once top secret project, the GTA V Map, it was working really well and it was neeeaaarly finished, until I stupidly updated Unity to the 2018 version and overwrote all the scripts and meta data, rendering all the progress useless, I still have the projects, but I haven't touched it in a long time.
Anyway, you used patching for the textures, sounds difficult to make. I've attempted this type of texturing and I've used terrain.party a plenty, but I always combined different locations together to make a custom location.
If you could run me through some satellite texture patching, we could share some techniques and technologies, yes?
@DuckMint Satellite imagery sources :
zoom.earth
satelliteworldmap

@DuckMint I will not add grass or trees to save fps, and for the satellite imagery, it's a patchwork of different sources. I edited it with photoshop to remove clouds, some shadows on mountains, and adjust colors. I found the heightmap on terrain.party. It's a lot of work to edit heightmap too.
Also, how tf did you manage those satellite images in UHD? I can never find good satellite imagery. 🤔
0.0 INSANITY!! What an incredible map and great builds too!
If you add trees and grass, I suggest adding them using the tree placement, it auto does LOD's and make for an easier job.
Also, how big (GB) is the map project?
O M G
Imagine trying to attack the parked fleet of the US navy that is not ready...

DECEMBER 7th,1941... A DATE WITH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY...
Great work!!
sink the a m e l i c a n s
Noice, the modern evolution of this map shoulld be the Flakllands
Nice Kates
@MisterT ok, I'll see if I can do something.
@AWESOMENESS360 Just a picture showing how japanese ships are arranged one to another
@MisterT should I find a picture of when the Japanese planes are bombing Pearl Harbor, or should I find a picture of when the Akagi and the Enterprise are battling out in the sea?
finally
Yeah XDD @MisterT
@jamesPLANESii Yep, I tried but it's hard to find satellite data from 1941...
