I'm working right now in the Port Stanley airfield layout and objects, so I'm very busy, but its coming together nicely. I'm using as reference a DVD documentary I bought, "the Fall of Port Stanley", it has News footage that helped me build the feeling of the place (muddy, rocks scattered nearby, fuel depots and planes in the open, no protection against air strike); I also used that famous black&white photo of the 'Black Buck' attack results to build the position and ratio width/lenght of the runway; I've uploaded a few working in progress screenshots, there are two problems:

1) the entire airbase is in the middle of the ocean instead of in the real position, that's because I still don't have a little config file where I can give coords to new stuff in the game's world, hopefully Steve will address this soon \:\)

2) the plane parked in ground doesn't cast shadow, so I won't be posting a website update until we implement shadows for planes on ground (looks awfull without), but well, it's cosmetic stuff, we're focused in making the game playable first. \:\)

The .rar archive with the pics:

I will also build the Port Stanley city soon, so it's very busy times for me, but JT's world needs to be populated - it's so empty at the moment!
