Mystic Puma on the Il2 forum posted a link to the Imperial war museum site, featuring many audio recordings of veteran Bob pilot's first hand accounts of the battle.

Added some placements to Rochester yesterday.
Working on this mod requires many game startups to check and adjust placements, and it's slow going with the new shaders which affect game and mission startup times.
I've had to disable the ui startup animations so that I get the mission failure screen to make the game start sooner. I did try to revert to the old shaders for mod work but it causes a ctd.
I set my fog haze density setting to 0.1 which looks a bit better to my eye.
New placements are in the right foreground with placements pending in the left foreground, and then I'll finish work on the Chatham naval shipyard.

Daniel created a scaled down shoreline texture and I took it a step further, see post #289 on this thread.
Likewise, your current map work is amazing, not to mention your AI radar mod. I was editing the bob missions and aircraft for use with ground control when I got sidetracked by this mod.

This guy Michael Konnar has a great Dailymotion page featuring old war doccies.
I'm currently downloading the brilliant Great war series with videodownloadhelper.
I'm generally a great hoarder of ww1 and ww2 doccies, as well as combat flight and European/American history..

Awesome! Keep it coming Glen!
"Working on this mod requires many game startups to check and adjust placements, and it's slow going with the new shaders which affect game and mission startup times."
Ain't that the truth! I used to like working in BoB2 where you could add items in-game, a much better system!

As 'Rogeroger' I did a fair amount of Placement work in Bob2. I created templates for placing groups of building objects in one go. It's a pity that the sim's engine is now dated and it doesn't work properly on post Win7 versions. I had tons of fun terrain modding and playing through the RAF campaign.

Can you zip that up? Would love to use your version of Daniel's version!
I really have to keep track of all of these changes.
It's the cfs3h2os.dds texture and I inserted it straight into my cfs3tex.zip replacing the existing file, probably the only way I could get it to show in game at the time. I suppose you could also place it in the effects/fxtextures folder and delete the cfs3tex.zx file to load the new texture.
I have already made it available in post #295 on page 15 of this thread, after the Youtube classical vid.
Anyway, here is a re-posted link to the texture.

Sorry I got a bit carried away with the screenies. It took me a while to get motivated to tackle this one but I really enjoyed working on it once I started.
I've copied my buildings and facilities file to a stock install and created a new workplace for placing objects. load times are pretty quick and building object placement is less frustrating time wise.
Bump mapping is really effective when the light source is on the horizon.

Fantastic stuff!!! Will add so much to enjoyment. The cobbled together ports and harbours I added to the original ETO were simple adaptions of what was available due to my very limited skills.
Would be nice to see proper representations of Mount Batten and Pembroke Docks to showcase the excellent Sunderland and Catalina models we now have. Pembroke had 99 aircraft moored around the bay at it's peak. I have the After the Battle detailed plan of Batten and the 6" Location Plan of Pembroke if any help. If the ship modellers could provide the small tenders that serviced aircraft and and a LCP loaded with a Matador fuel tanker that would bring the scene to life.
