My new Syvari (SVIR) Beta

kapteeni · 04.05.2010, 16:10

Here it is. My Kt_Syvari map! (Beta Version)
I have been working with this map more or less over 6 months. It has been a great journey through Finnish / Russian History. The map is not 1:1 scale. In real it would be bigger than the default Finsgulf map.
I tried to use Astergem satellitedata, but it was too difficult (at least for me) to parse those small maps to gether without any glitches or other errors. Satellitedata was propably taken in winter, because there were no lakes or rivers.
* So i decited to do a smaller, but much detailed map instead, using Googlemaps as a reference. My aim was to capture the different landscapes in Finland and Russian side of Karelia.
Whereas Finland is part of Western world, East Karelia was and still is complitely different. Villages there are made of logs and so ...
I also tried to capture the feeling of Eat Karelian wilderness and Smooth agriculture terrain of western parts of map.
I will also provide DCG campaigns with this map. At the moment everything is at beta stage, so please report, if you find any big errors.
Airfields are fictious. I just copy / pasted some very basic default airfields. At least they work.
Only Nurmoila airfield is detailed with some buildings. Other airfields can be decorated by missionmakers.
BTW. This map is no good for Big bombers, like B-29 or so. Only Solomanni and Joensuu airfields are suitable for bombers.
During ww2, Finns had Blenheims and Ju 88: s and Dorniers. Russians used Pe-2: s, SB: s and IL2: s.
There were German Luftwaffe opearing at Mensuvaara airfield with Me 109: s and maybe with Stuka: s. East Karelia was not the main Theatre Of War and Russians didn't bring the best fighters there. Main Fighter was I-16 or 1-15 and P-40 + Hurricane. Reconnaiseplanes were usually U-2: s.Finns used Also 2: nd line fighters like Fokkers and even Gladiators. And Hurricanes (IIRC). Mainly FAF did use Moranes and CU: s. Reconnaisemission were done with Westland Lysanders. I hope that some talented mosdder will do that plane too some of these days ...
There are some roads and railroads that are based to books and Internet sources.
Because this map is made specially for my DGC campaigns, i hope that you download them aswell when they are ready and give comments and suggestions how to improve them.
I will edit those campaigns with newsbriefs and with right planesets. I ordered some great books from FAF history, but they haven't come yet.
This map is tested with my versions of HSFX and UP 2.0 and UP 2.01 versions. I have only used default textures and objects that are included already with these modpacks

There is still lot's to do, but here you go. Enjoy and happy landings! : D
