Hi all,

Just curious if there's an official or unofficial way to improve the detail of the map? For example, the Hawaiian Islands have some odd arcs (see right side of attached image). If there's nothing available, is there any way to use public data to improve the detail?

Thanks!

Hi Scott

That is probably as good as that layer might get. You could try the relief layer (View, click relief layer).

We are looking to improve the map look and feel in the future.

Mike

I'd love to see what you've put together - can you post some images? I'm just trying to get a sense what's possible. I watched a few youtube videos using aerial imagery, pretty nice.

sure, but the forum doesn't let me post links yet. I uploaded a couple of examples to youtube.
searching for "Command: Modern Air Naval Operations - Basic Training Submarine Operations" should put you in the right direction though.

edit: i uploaded a screenshot.

Awesome - thanks very much. I watched your tutorial a while ago, but I didn't recall the custom layer part. I'll check it out again.

Thanks for the screenshot.

Just to let folks know, one of our top post-v1.06 priorities will probably be to add a mechanism for _easily_ bundling overlays and other media together with scenario files, so that no manual end-user work is needed to view them.

Thanks, i always wanted to ask for such a feature. For the tutorial above i made 5 different overlays and a faster way to load them or even a way to automatize it would be really nice.

Yes, we feel your pain and we want to make this a no-touch thing for the player's POV.

Yeah you can use overlays. I also made a video tutorial a long time ago about how to blend them, see this thread:
