The Purple Grid is taken from the RAF map series. The airfield names unfortunately arnt a separate layer. its not Photoshop either just Paintshop pro in PNG format. I still need to add the French railways. Might get Paint.NET and the PSD Plugin, just to convert the PNG to PSD. It's free, powerful and expandable with plugins. [shameless plug]Heck, I managed to make the IL-2 P-38 instrument textures look nice with it. [/shameless plug]

It is the in game terrain .... its taken directly from the FMB map. Hmmm...ok, thanks. Not encouraging info. Without meaning to be facetious, perhaps a double check where Greenwich is?

Now I have map about 11000x10000. Im working on to get those airfields there.
But now I have to go sleep! (clock is here 1:10) If you get to a state of a big image with some decent labels for airfields etc then give us a shout - I can quickly write a mini web app to make it zoomable a la google maps. Your web app for zoomable map is GREAT! Im working with that map (grid is missing and some airfields etc...) and when I got it done Ill inform. Heres how it will look now. (image is resized to width=800 for web usage. Orginally this was over 2000 pix width) And as you can see I made some colour and level corrections with photoshop. Its a bit brighter now.

Cool - glad to see it worked. Actually, a bit shocked. Bit of a beer-haze late last night to be honest, so it's a miracle it worked. Now overdosing on chocolate with the kids, which makes a nice combo early on a Monday morning When you have a big image (it can be huge too, the web app 'tiles' it so that anyone can view without a big download) then upload somewhere and give us a link. I'll chop it up and 'deepzoom' it - takes 5 minutes. If anyone can't see this page, then let me know as later I'll make it 'look purdy' or something: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zoomreadsl/TestPage.html

Got over it with building my kid a sandbox. When Im done with the map I have to recheck those airfield names because most of them I made last night ;-P

What has Greenwich got to do with it ? The RAF "Purple" Grid is not a Lat Long based grid and doesn't use Greenwich as a datum if that's what you are referring to. Its full name is the :Military Grid, War Office Grid, Cassini Grid

The Zoom in map looks great but how do you get it to wqork ? Do you need to download this Microsoft Silverlight thing that I see when I click on the link ? It does use Microsoft Silverlight, so yes - download it if you want to use the zoomy map, it's harmless plus fairly small.

Gorgeous! I went with the original and used Photoshop to convert the png map file into a tiff, then imported into Lightroom where I did some basic finishing. Printed the entire map at 13" x 19" for framing, then sectional maps at 10.5" x 16.7" for laminating (working copies). This'll be great for basic navigation, just have to make sure I'm well-trimmed before burying my nose in the maps! LOL

Just copying and pasting my banana forum post here: Hi Guys, I've taken Wooster's map and put it in PDF format. It's 3 pages wide and 4 pages long (A4) So 12 pages large. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V6JDRVQNI was messing about with margins but didn't' have time, so there's a tiny bit of white space between the pages, but you can just cut these off or fold them. I used posterazor on Ubuntu to generate the PDF.

Sorry, this is a layman's question: Your maps are the in game map, right ? So I can find the map somewhere in the app directory, or am I mistaken ? Could someone explain this to me ? I found no .png files in the COD Folder ...
Michael.
