I have decided to start a new work in progress thread for a project which me and Vandal have been planning for a while. The map itself will hopefully be an accurate and realistic 1:1 scale map of Great Britain, featuring most major airports and landmarks. In order to complete a map of this size, we will be splitting Great Britain into nine separate areas which will be worked on. Once all areas are complete after many months or even years of hard work, we will be combining the nine areas together. This project is open to the entire community, so we would like to invite any map makers to contribute to the project.
The first area of Britain which we are going to be working on is:
"The South East"


A scenery editor screenshot of the basic outline from the South East area, created by Vandal.
The South East area includes the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Isle of Wight and the London Area.
If you wish to get involved in creating airports for this area, a list of the airports within the South East area is below. Once you have completed your scenery, PM either me or Vandal to organise the sending of the map. Your scenery will be added and positioned within the main South East fld file.
