Hi pilots!
One year of hard work is over and I can publish new repainted map.
When I decided for this map, I asked myself: What are typical events for Stalingrad/Volgograd landscape?
1.Disappearing and appearing rivers with many turnes, dry riverbads
2.Typical russian urbanism
3.Swamps and delta rivers
4.Kalach sands
5.Brights white sands on Volga´s and Don´s coasts
6.Few woods and trees generally
So:
Dry riverbads are taken from Luftwaffe´s historical photos, but their location aren´t historical, because I had to use the same textutes for Kalach, Stalingrad, Abganerovo and so one. So-I had one idea: created landscape with atmosphere from this big area.
Airfields - Pitomnik - we have deafult airfield in area, where was Voroponovo, so I reconstructed Voroponovo airfield by historical photos and Pitomnik is next airfield done by BOS. We haven´t any air photo of Pitomnik, we know something about two concrete runways, radar and lighthouse - that´s all.
Stalingradski - little airfield near Mamayev kurgan - it has own texture
Karpovka airfield - Hans Ulrich Rudel wrote - there was open space airfield without any chance for masking and every hinterland and headquoters were under ground - so I did it this way.
And so one and so one.....
I created very soft BumpH files, so you can see this effect around noon, early morning it is only little.
YOU DON´T NEED ANY NEXT MOD FOR INSTALATION THIS MAP!

Big thanks for everybody who helped me with historical events, dokumentation and location in WIP discussion!
