World (WRP) 51.2 km * 51.2 km = something for hardcore flight-sims fans mainly   ! WARNING: This AddOn is really only for powerful PCs (at least: CPU > 1GHz, RAM > 512MB ) ! ! On slower PC you are going to encounter BIG problems (lags) during loading, in MissionEditor & in MapView ("M" key ingame) ! Download here.

"quick & dirty" unofficial translation - sorry for any mistakes included... To be continued - if necessary ...

Ok, here (WRPexample) is the old info about WRP "4WVR" format with very simple example - really mainly for people interested in internal data formats... BTW: with the help of official "Visitor2light" more details (not described in that very general & old info) could be easily found...

Old example: direct download

OK, thanks to all for replies And the biggest thanks to "Snake Man", who have helped me to test that big "beast", because my PC is underpowered for my own creation... Maybe, he is going to post his experiences soon

Did you make the map by hand, or did you convert it from a DEM (digital elevation model). It you made it by using a DEM - where in the world is this terrain located? 2. How difficult would it be to make the ground texture a runway 2-3 places on the map? Would this slow down the map significantly? 3. Are you working on a 51.2 * 51.2 km map? If you do - when do you expect to release it?<span id='postcolor'> Ad 1) I'm very lazy man, so it's from DEM Only MicroDEM was used for necessary manipulation... Real location is San Francisco, CA, USA - but the coordinates are not swapped & other modifications are inside, because "WRPdouble" was only experimental stuff... Anyway, have conversion tool, which swaps correctly coordinates, so orientation can be realistic too ... Ad 2) Have no automatic placement tool for this... Many 3D-objects slow down mainly any scene - therefore some runway is OK... Ad 3) Preliminary WRPquad (51.2*51.2km) is already done - some testing now, because this WRP eats almost all resources of my PC

Did you tested "landGrid" ? Some old pictures with smaller "landGrid": 5 12.5
