Printable map of current Caucasus map?

Whoa.... Why didn't I hear about this before???

Incredible work!!! Very much looking forward to seeing the end result!

My hat is off to you sir. Well done!

Thank you. :) I should have opened my own thread in the Mods and Apps subforum a long time ago.Will do.

Wow, the ASTER one is like night and day compared to the SRTM. It's awesome you were able to find an alternate that is even better than the standard.

Can't wait to have the uber high definition of your work. Do you have a way to convert it into mbtiles?

SRTM3 cannot stand the comparison with ASTER, when SRTM1 can (even if it's crippled with void areas in our region of interest).

There's a way to produce MBtiles, yes, since it is now the format Viper39 is using to load the maps. But I have no idea how to do that: Viper does the job.

Ah OK. We have one of our pilot who owns a licence for the converter too. But I'll let Viper do the magic in CombatFlite.

Nicely done !

P.S: we are commonly using bridges for our waypoints in the chopper world!

I've just found a way to automatically get the azimuth of a bridge from my own vector data (not from the game). This means the map will feature ALL the bridges in no time. :smilewink:

You are the best. Period.

Uh... OK. :renske:

<-- Avatar changed accordingly, then.

Here's the recipe for the bridges azimuths for those interested:

1. I "find" bridges by calculating intersections between roads and rivers, for instance. This gives me the location of the bridges, with no azimuth.

2. I "explode" each roads and railways to basic A to B segments. I then calculate the azimuth of each segment.

3. I "join" the segments with the bridges that intersect with them, and pass the azimuth of the road segments to the bridges. And voilà. :thumbup:

Again, nicely done ; not only are you brave enough to begin such an endeavour, you're truly the best :)

Is there a link or something to a released map, Flappie? Even if it's WIP, it's an amazing job

Thank you. :)

For now, the map is only available through CombatFlite. I plan to release the final map as a very large picture. I'm currently working on the bridges. The map is almost complete.

Thank you. :)

I hope you could make a browser based one. It helps when on iPad.

Amazing, looking forward to that one, have no doubt. Keep up the good work!

I've been considering this option. I'll look into it once the final map is published.

We're getting close now.The bridges are here. The tunnels are here as well, though I might have missed some of them. I've repositioned hundreds of town names and a few beacon labels so they don't mask newly added bridges and tunnels.

Now, as you can see in the picture below (click to enlarge), ASTER DEM is plagued with weird scratches on the most northern part of the Caucasus theatre (Mozdok - Mineralnye Vody - Krasnodar - Kerch). The most elegant solution I came up with is to draw a white mask to hide those scratches. It shouldn't take long.

Work in progress

Tweaking SRTM1 relief to hide wrong data : 0%

What's done

SRTM3 elevation : 100% (as a raster - slightly different from the game's map)

SRTM3 relief shadows : 100% (as a raster - slightly different from the game's map)

SRTM3 isolines : 100% (slightly different from the game's map)

Town names : 100 %

Power lines : 100 %

Sea, lakes and large rivers : 100 %

Vegetation : 100 %

Urban areas : 100 %

Elaborated geo grid : 100%

Roads : 100%

Railroads : 100%

Rivers : 100%

Elaborated MGRS grid : 100%

International and contested borders : 100%

Airbases : 100%

Beacons : 100%

SRTM1 relief shadows : 100%

Bridges : 100%

Tunnels: 100% ?

It's coming!

It's really impressive !

This is a professional-level map, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people will want to give you money (I will, for certain). You'd better set-up a donation Paypal ^^

Great work, and very much appreciated!

Awesome stuff! :)

AMAZING work , incredible effort to realize this!

Thanks for the offer. Seeing as we will soon have to buy our virtual aircraft part-by-part (I'm looking at you, Black$hark 3), I suggest you keep that wallet inside your pocket. :smilewink:

The ASTER DEM masking process is over. I'm now tweaking two or three things, then we'll be set for v1.0!

Hola señores. I've sent a v0.7 to Viper39. He's quite busy right now, but once the new map will be part of CombatFlite, I'll need you to report any "bugs". I've already bumped into the following bugs:

1. unnecessary bridges (whenever two different types of segment intersect, where they shouldn't)

2. more "holes" in the ASTER DEM relief

3. bridge hidden by a label

4. missing tunnels

5. haven't seen that happen yet, but... missing bridges?

v0.7 is now available on CombatFlite. :)
