Hi Guys,
I have been slowly but surely making progress on a Sakishima-Gunto project. Sakishima-Gunto is the name of the island chain southwest of Okinawa, between the NE coast of Formosa and Okinawa, where the Japanese flew Kamikaze raids against American shipping during the invasion of Okinawa. Both Ishigaki-Shima and Miyako-Jima had airfields from which the Japanese flew Kamikaze missions. I built these islands over the top of Rhumba's mesh but I believe they might still work equally well with the stock. I started way off to the west with Yonaguni-Jima just to refresh my memory about how to do this stuff. Then I kinda swapped back and forth between Yaeyama-Retto and Miyako-Retto leaving the two islands of Minna-Jima and Tarama-Jima for last. I am about to wrap on everything but those two islands. Just put what should be the finishing touches on the large harbors at Ishigaki-Shima and Miyako-Jima. Pretty much have the land an water class where i want them. Here are a few of screenshots: an overview map; a pair showing a top down and low angle view of Ishigaki-Shima and it's harbor and a pair showing a top-down and low-angle of Miyako-Jima and it's harbor.
