Rising Sun Development Notes

[rbp71854]

Work continues on theaters under construction. The Sino theater is the area that I am concentrating on at this time. Work is adding additional lakes and major rivers to the theater. There is a major elevation riff in the theater which I will be working on to fix. After the lakes and rivers are completed major roads and railroads will be added to the theater. I have found some detailed maps of selected cities and have overlayed them onto the base topos. This requires some tweaking of the existing water bodies and adding new ones in the area. The screenies show an overview of the theater and the zoomed in area of Hankow.

The plan is later this year to finalize the PNG theater shorelines and elevations.

I have completed about 3 additional cities since my latest posting. I am presently working on the Shanghai area. Have finished the major river and harbor area and am now moving on to doing the lessor streams and canals that run through the city. I have one more major city to do on the mainland (I do not have detailed topos for all cities) and then I will be working on Formosa island. I have about 15 detailed city harbor and airfield topos for Formosa.

The following are wip screenies of Shanghai while I was working on the major River.

I keep nudging RS along. Been adding additional rivers, lakes and adjusting ocean shorelines to the sino theater. Have completed adjusting shorelines around harbors, major cities, and airfields by use of detailed topos. Essentially the water work is completed and I weill now begin getting the detailed topos into the sim as was done in the pearl theater. Still have some elevation work to do in the sino and then roads, shipping lanes, and RRs vectors.

By end of March no matter how far along I am with the sino theater I will be moving over to updating the elevations and shorelines of the PNG theater.

First screenie shows fish ponds on Formosa.

p.s. All water is navigateable. :)

Work continues. Have completed all the water work on china and formosa. Have been concentrating on formosa. Have all the available on-line detailed topos of airfields, harbors and major areas of interest by the USAAF during WWII.

The detailed topos were created by the Army Mapping Service from aerials and are of potential targets by the Allies. The topos will need some tweaking as once they are exported from Global Mapper they are affected by the curvature of the earth when placed into the square CFS3 engine.

Have been working on creating the RRs and some roads on Formosa. Have also begun placing some quick combat ground attack items into the GL. Have run the ai pathing process and have successfully had spawns generated for rail traffic.

The following are screen shots of the Takao Harbor area and railtraffic spawned in qc. Note the train tracks running down the street.
