First off, thanks to developers for another fine aircraft (RE8), another fine flight model update (N17), and patch. I love maps and finding my way by them, real wilderness or virtual skies. The RoF environment has blown me away with its relative accuracy to real life placement of rivers, canals, forests, etc and the ability to navigate across the terrain with nothing but my printed map ( Download Here) , and Mark I eyeballs. Many villages and towns were added with the fall tiles patch (if memory serves by Vanderstock; many many thanks, and correct if incorrect...), but they don't show up on the in-game map. Some (new?) airfields also don't show up on in-game map, and I've found two of them, at Bellevue (south west of Arras), and latest at Bailleul (south west of Ypres, see screenie below). Now, I'm not asking for you to do crazy things like me (i.e. fly all of No-Man's-Land looking for ruined villages not on the in-game map...) BUT during your flights if you see a rendered airfield that's not on your map (whichever variety you choose), please take a screenshot like below (with in-game map for reference) and post here or PM me and I'll update the map file. Thanks gentlemen!

Hi buddy.
Im just wondering if the airfield you are seeing is a "temp" airfield added for the mission. SYN_Vander, for example, will add airfields when he is making an online mission anywhere where he can find a flat bit of ground (and in some instances on the most bumpy bit of ground he can find imho :P). There are static fields that are on your map aswell obviously. Just a thought....

This airfield shows up in a Career beta mission, so I assume if you fly over Bailleul you will see it too. Please confirm. I agree, it does have an odd placement on the terrain so understand your post... As mentioned, the other airfield near Bellevue (SW of Arras) that is not on the in-game map but seen during career beta mission. Please don't get me wrong, not criticizing anything/anyone here, simply want to find these and update the map, and the more eyes the better.

I'll take a look and confirm that these two also show in-game (but not on map) for me.

Villages along the Somme showing up during RoF beta campaign, just west of the front. Two are unnamed (?), but are likely meant to be Vaux-sur-Somme (left), and Sailly-Laurette (right edge). Don't get me wrong, we are blessed with a pretty accurate RoF terrain compared to the actual map below, right down to the ponds along the river (Etang de Bracheux for example below Sailly-Laurette). Please, if you navigate by map (in-game or my printable version) and find inconsistencies, take a screenshot like below and post. I'll correct the map and release at intervals. Thank you.

An unmarked airfield seen in a Career Beta mission on the La Lawe River, just south of the R. Lys, west of La Gorgue. Hopefully I'll be able to update the printable maps soon with all the new additions since the fall tiles release.
