Yes, me too. [:)] That is one of the main reasons I added city names. But I did find a couple of small mistakes after uploading. Will have eventually to release another version to correct.

Hi Deckard,

First I want to thank you for the mod, as it makes navigation easier and cities look less generic now. However, I'd though want to ask for certain changes, in case you'll push out another update. Some German names are mispelled (should be renamed in Magdeburg, Regensburg, Breslau) and would it be possible to remove the black dotted frontiers? Those look artificial and don't match to the map style.

Hello Lützow. Thanks for using my mod and pointing out the mistakes.[:)] I am planning on releasing another version with the name corrections. As far as the ugly black dotted borders- I agree. They are too dark and don't match. Unfortunately I cannot simply remove them. I will have to redo everything. But I will probably make the dots more transparent in the next version (like the map names). I suppose I could also release a version with only map names and no borders if players requested it.

Deckard,

Just a suggestion but if you use a graphics editor that supports layers (The Gimp (freeware), Photoshop etc), you should put the borders on a separate layer with a transparent background. Same with the city names.

That way all you have to do is make the layer invisible (one click) before you export to file to create different versions of your map (with and without borders/city names etc).

Hope this makes your life easier,

Cheers,
Reg.

Also, I will make the borders more transparent than before, but not too much so. If they are too transparent, they won't be visible on certain parts of the map (mountains, etc). Therefore, they will have to remain somewhat dark.

Hello palocfarkas. Thanks for using my map mod. [:)]

I got side-tracked with my Lower Aircraft Kill Rates mod, but have started working on the map mod again. The next version should be done within a week or so.
