Let's make Channel map more attractive

[Fmax13]

 The Channel map is well detailed on the English side but very poor on the French side, for example: there are only four airfields, two of which (Saint Omer and Dunkerque) have runways so small that the A8s loaded with bombs cannot take off, whereas there are eight airfields on the English side, and the level of detail on the French side is poor. Do you intend to upgrade the map in the near future to see it attract more people?

That's their prototypical layouts - the runways are short as they are only half paved, the intention being the asphalt areas are for starting your take-off run from or making your initial touchdown whilst landing. You are supposed to run on to the grass to complete your take-off roll or landing roll-out, the concrete is there to absorb the rigours of touchdown and supports the static weight of aircraft for run-up, mag tests and the initial portion of the run, but once rolling the grass is perfectly able to support the weight of the airplane.

Shame it can't do that with the more modern planes. That being said, it would be nice if we could get a early-mid Cold War version of the map with some longer runways. If nothing else it offers a great Red Vs Blue style server setup.
