Can Airbase Types be substitued ?
Posted: Thu 10 Aug 2017 12:24 pm
Hi,
As usual I must preface my question with the "The answer may be apparent and simple , but is not self evident to me" disclaimer.
Is it possible using the SEDB and NOT the FMB+ or a Map making version of IL2 , to substitute one type of airbase for another ?
I understand the possibility of varying the infrastructure and defensive layouts of the bases , but I am looking for something at a more fundamental level.
Point in question. The Philippines Map (which I am very fond of) in HSFX is modelled roughly for the 1944-45 campaign period.
I would like to adapt it for the 1941-42 Period.
Historically speaking , many of the airbases on it were not in use in the intended time frame.
Further more , the configurations , surfaces , lengths , etc are not historically accurate. I would like to edit and adjust existing airfield configurations
for more historical ones for this time frame.
I am hoping it is possible to :
a) substitute one airbase/airfield layout for another in the SEDB that will then be programmed into the SEOW Template AND/OR
b) I can build the airfield layout I desire in the FMB then have that substituted for an existing layout or build it where it was historically , even though the
map builder chose not to include it.
c) Delete the historically inaccurate airbases from the SEDB.
Are any of these goals possible through the SEDB ?
Thanks for all the patient answers to my queries.
