hi!

 

..although i won't be able to buy it from you (even if i want to support you) thank you so much for this..

 

Just one question..large scale printing is not that expensive here in the Philippines because there's so many of them here..In What dimension should I tell the printer guy for this? Im not sure if you have posted it though.

 

thanks!

in inches>>>>>>> 41.34 X 55.11 inches

Wouldn't it be better to tell them the output resolution?

If you print it at 300 dpi then you get the exact right dimensions.

Awesome!

Thanks a lot!

Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice job, its amazing, very good work :thumbup:

[igormk]

The first post is updated with the most important links, so you don’t have to look around if you need to find something.

 

Once again I want to thank you all for supporting this project, respect to the TFC/ED for standing behind it, and special thanks to JimMack because he is the man responsible for the availability of the printed version of the map.

 

S!

Astonishing work igormk, I can't imagine the long hours required for this. Many many thanks !

[TheMoose]

A lot of you have now bought this map.

Please give advice if you have laminated.

Was my advice adequate or have you discovered a better technique?

For multiplayer communities this map is a must have!

[Boberro]

I' like to see how does it look laminated... I see it looks nice on wall ^^

[Smoky]

I will post pics once my project is done, but my plan is to cut the map into squares along the current folds. Then have each "tile" laminated and mounted into a three-ring binder. The tiles could then be navigated "Mapsco" style (ie. pg 1-4 is a quadrant, and so on). OR, ideally, I will store the tiles as a library and then just pull the tiles I need for a specific mission, eg. Moonshield on 104th.

 

That way I can use the laminated tiles as in-flight charts.

 

So I might order a second map for the wall, just because it looks so beautiful as a whole. But I might wait to see if this project is updated post- DCS:A10. :D

 

For now, I've exported the PNG to PDF (huge file) and loaded that into my iPad. I use my iPad as an ultra-high-tech kneepad at the moment. If data were passed to the ipad for centering and flight-following that would be neat. But as it stands the iPad and a high detail pdf make for a beautiful tactical aid.

 

Really, excellent work on this map. I love being able to navigate by roads and powerlines and tracks now. You guys really improved the immersion with this one!

This can be done if you can write an app for the iPad ;)

Network connection via LUA to your iPad and you get a moving map.

I would be interested on any feedback from those who have bought the Tactical Map, and how you were able to apply a lamination.

I took a trip to my local "Fedex/Kinko's" and was able to have the map laminated at a fair price. I have another map on order (don't know if I will laminate this one).

That is useful to know. Do you mind letting us know how much you were charged for laminating?

I laminated mine myself (http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=936955&postcount=62), but a friend took his to graphic material store (which also sells self adhesive transparent foils), and they laminated it for 10,5Euro.

Nice work with the DIY project!

Are there plans to extend the Tactical Map/Card for the DCS:A-10 caucasus map include Tiflis and environment like an "DCS TC-2" or DCS TC-1.5"?
