Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-14- 01:46 AM Looks really cool...and cold ...As you may guess, I find that Finland part really interesting. I had a bit of an idea that Murmask may have a partof Finland included...Too bad I got this information this late,but if there is anything I can do that is in my cababillity, can´t do much, but it´s always worth to ask, just let me know..., I´d love to do something for this great and long wanted terrain...good job... TFF... btw...we´re workin´on Finnish skins for SDOE, they might be needed, when the fighting starts... [This message has been edited by Flying Finn (edited 01-14-2002).] IP: Logged

Razer Pilot	posted 01-14- 03:51 PM here yea go finn, not sure if or when it will be released. IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-14- 05:05 PM Thanks Razer I'd like that one too, the front with those guns looks a little like the Seversky P35s we had in Sweden until SAAB provided the J22 fighter IP: Logged

Vahn Pilot	posted 01-15- 03:49 AM H.75 there in the middle. not P-35's...thats a P-36 [This message has been edited by Vahn (edited 01-15-2002).] IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-15- 06:29 AM Sorry Vahn I think you got me wrong here. I DON'T mean that one of the above IS a Seversky, I just meant it looked like one with the nose guns AND YES, if you're refering to the one we had in Sweden, it IS P35...Seversky P35 & not P36 alright Check This: http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/p35.htm IP: Logged
Pachy Pilot	posted 01-15- 07:09 AM Oh no, someone noticed it! IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 01-15- 11:16 AM This terrain is perfect for the Soviet GST (their version of the PBY...) MAN does it look cold.... IP: Logged
ArgonV JAG	posted 01-15- 12:24 PM Desert Fox, Might I make a suggestion? Be sure that the towns and factories are "organized" meaning that they fit the texture and just arent placed in random spots. (I say this after looking at the first screen shot) Looking good and cold! IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-15- 06:19 PM Just a thought Gustavo¤ From being up skiing in the north I think the icy & snowy parts could be slighly more blue/white in the "unpopulized" areas but keeping the colour you got around the industrial areas to make it dirty from the smoke STILL it looks super as it is & not worth doing if it's too many tiffies to change Finn! any opinion on snow colour since you're probably closest to this place of all of us IP: Logged
Spitfire Cadet	posted 01-15- 08:51 PM Yeah what SteveTheDrummer said more blue/white snow out in the sticks. I live in Alaska thought that might convince yah. ------------------ Was known as 71hemicuda IP: Logged
Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-15- 09:28 PM Thank you Thijs for the skin of the Ju 88 Finnish, it is very good. If you want, I can include it in the package of skins that will accompany to the terrain. Here some images go IP: Logged
Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-15- 09:29 PM Diego, I will answer you your question in Spanish so that it is not distorted: Utilicé una herramienta de pothoshop llamada reeplazar color, y lo aplique sobre el color arena de una ciudad ya existente. Se vaja la saturacion al maximo y aplico una aumento de brillo de 65. Asi es que todo lo que es arena se torna blanco, y los demas colores segun la proporcion de ese tono que tengan..... por ejemplo el azul del mar no se modifica. ArgonV: You are right, I will make the cities taking care of that detail. The one that presents in the image, made it with difficulty to have an idea of like it will be with factorys them; then I will correct it. ------------------ III./JG3_Gustav Alle Messerschmitt bf109 FS_Gustav IP: Logged
Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-16- 12:54 AM I am preparing this map........ ¿that they find? IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-16- 01:52 AM Murmansk sure is lookin´great...and cold... about the skins...Diego made a beautiful skin for Ju88 too. Now I´m suggesting, that Diego´s Me109 G6´s will be included to skin pack too, maybe Diego could make some winter modification to it??? Me109 was our best fighter a was used in that area too...as you all know, skin can be found here: http://paintshed.users1.50megs.com/finn.html use it..it´s useful, beautiful and historically accurate... And another issue is for The Fox...about that map above...it´s lookin´cool, but one thing jumped to my eyesight. It´s that swastika in Finland. To be correct, Finnish swastiga had nothing to with the nazi symbol. Our symbol was blue and white, it´s not in oblique angle and was used long before the nazis. The first symbol was born when swedish von Rosen donated Thulin typ D to Finlands white army in 1918. (In Finlands early years there was cruel national war where were goverments white army against revolutional red army). The Swastika was the symbol of Mr von Rosen and it was adopted to FAF to honour him.(thanks to Llv34 for the exact info) We fought on the axis side, that´s true, but we had our own symbols and our own meanings for them. I was thinkin´,can you change that sign,if it´s possible. Blue and white swastika was used in ground forces too, so it was our official war symbol with Finnish lion.. You´ll get a peak of Finnish swastika from here: http://www.kolumbus.fi/llv24/ but anyway thank you for including part of Finland to this great game, you´ve made me vere proud ..and the help offer is still remaining...well done, Fox...

SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-16- 05:09 AM Yes Spit that's convincing enough Nice map there Gustavo (btw hope you understod my request or maybe someone could help out with a translation here ) & thanks Finn for pointing it out conc. the Von Rosen swastika IP: Logged

Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-16- 01:30 PM Ok Flying Finn, I will fix that symbol of Finland, and I will place the correct swastika SteveTheDrummer: I interpret that what you say, is that it lacks but I fry to the landscape......... there are sectors that correspond to the tundra of Finland, and there the snow mixes with rocks, earth and vegetation. Other parts of this terrain are very snowy and with a certain blue tone......... then I will show but images........ (I am basing myself in documental of the Discoveri Channel, and in my own experience during the military service that I made it in the south of my country with temperatures of -20 ºC) ------------------ III./JG3_Gustav Alle Messerschmitt bf109 FS_Gustav IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-16- 02:20 PM Thanks, Fox..I knew you´d understand. . Keep up the good work. TFF IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 01-16- 04:27 PM Did you know that prior to the Nazi's taking control of Germany there was an American Army patch (I forget for which unit, but I have seen it in the books...) that bore a swastika? The first time I saw it I was amazed. Needless to say, that unit changed their emblem immediatly... (Before the war...) IP: Logged
WM unregistered	posted 01-16- 09:29 PM Another bit of swastika trivia - There was a pin that was traded between groups of Boy Scouts before wwii that had a blue reverse-swastika on it. It was a friendship token. Werner ------------------ Werner Molders Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged
WM unregistered	posted 01-16- 09:32 PM Wow, I just noticed the map - great job Gustavo! I wouldn't have seen it, but its amazing how good a fit that is. Have you been able to remove the islands from the terrain itself, or are they still there (the ones in the North East corner)?

Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-20- 03:36 PM I am happy that he likes terrain Flying Finn . The name of the city in Finland is Utsjoki and the airfield Utsjoki Airfield ------------------ III./JG3_Gustav Alle Messerschmitt bf109 FS_Gustav IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-21- 06:16 AM Mmm like it Fox T.F.F. expect some "Lapp Storkar" to come scouting on Finnish territory once in a while you see, 26 or 28 Fi storches emergency landed in Sweden... so we made a whole air rec. squad with them I've got the scheme for one and will do it sometime if there's interest in one IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-21- 10:23 AM FD... UtsJoki is a good choise...But I must warn you guys...remember to put enough clothes, before you take the flight...for example,January 1943,in Utsjoki, temperature was between -28c and -42c for almost three weeks... And in february 1998 temp dropped all the way to -55.2c at there.. Sorry I can´t convert these to fahrenheits, but maybe someone else can and would..I´d appreciate it, so everyone will get the point where they are coming to... Happy Landings..
