I find it rather strange. Maybe an elevation coding error...

So not only have you spent Hours,Days,Weeks,Months Modding CC but you then went a found a way to put CC Maps onto foam?

Haven't modded CC in years since starting work on the CC rebuilds and as mentioned that was a test for a larger project. Was using the CNC machine for creating trinkets to sell in my wifes shop. Gotta pay the bills somehow. The test was a way to combine what I'd rather be doing with what I have to do.

HintJ - Hill 140 does look like it'd make a great map for Panzer Command. I'm sure using the CC BGM is a much quicker way to get your base terrain than drawing it from scratch in Photoshop. It's all looking great!

The map maker program in Panzer Command uses GE and DEMs to make the 3D mesh and terrain map.

We are looking forward to seeing these CC maps in PC.

RE: GE & DEMs used in PC - Yeah caught that. Like Q.M said, once the focus of GE maps have a higher level of detail and focus they'll be perfect for CC maps straight out of the box similar to the way you're using them in PC. Some GE maps already do. Many work with a minimum of image touch up. Although I'm not a fan of the hyper realistic maps in CC. Too much out of sync with the animations, vehicles etc. I'm guessing PC has a wider focus and field of view. Been a long time since I've had that one loaded on the PC. So the GE stuff probably works great for that. I'm sure the CC maps will definitely look great in PC.

Images from GE would NOT look good in CC without a total overhaul of vehicles and sprites.

Worst yet is it would all have to be Modern warfare.

It can still be WWII. The ground elevation probably has not changed since then. It is up to the map designer to do his research and compare period aerial photos, topo maps, and AARs to the GE image and correct it.
