Lock On Maps

ruggbutt · 01-15-2007, 05:13 AM

Some of you might have been wondering what I've been up to lately. I've been busy with work but I've started cracking down and working on a new A10 profile as well as working on modifying Oscar's fantastic Lock On Map's plugin. It's in the download section if you're interested, it's a fantastic piece of work. I felt that it could be improved upon, especially since the charts are in portrait format while our monitors are landscape format. So I decided to screenshot all of the airbases and add the pertinent information that we'd need for Lock On. Here are some screenshots:

Very nice. Heaps of detail in there. Did you get extra imagery and airfield details from google or something?

Those are screenshots from Lock On. I mucked around with some settings in Photoshop but they're raw BMP's.

Very good idea Ruggbutt!
I only have a hard time reading the airbase names with coordinates in red with shadow on the overview maps.
I can read it clearly on the detailed airfield maps.
Maybe white or something else is better for the overview but this is just my personal opinion.

PS: Ruggbutt - you know I really like your profiles. Do you have some more eye candy from the upcoming A-10 profile for us?
