Ok, here's my dilema. Up until now, all of the airfields were placed on a single tile only. Along comes Tobruk and ALL of the airfields are on 2 or more tiles.

My question now is how can I find the center coordinates of the airfield in relation to the Supertexture? A better question would be how do I find the 4 corner coordinates of the airfield in relation to the Supertexture? With this info I can make the 2 textures seemless. Right now, I'm just guessing and eyeballing the location and I get the "edging" effect that ruins the effect.

Please guys, I need as much input as I can on this one. I'll take any guess or theory at this point.

I hope this visually explains what I'm talking about. I made the tiles that the airfield sits on different colors so you could see the edges much easier.

I need the coordinates of the center and the 4 corners

UH OH.... I don't think you can do this.

On the stock ones, they all sit on one tile only, I have never seen this done. I guess you would have to clear the area on both tiles of detail, and try to blend the colours in.

If that info EVER becomes available that would save me an entire day fiddling around trying to find it but 'til then, the old method will have to do.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why do you want the airfield to sit in the middle of two tiles?

Ahhhh. Well, how are they placed? Is there something in the airfield file that says where to place it?
