fractal tropical maps

[Mesutorevan]

So I was beyond stoked when TF2 was announced and I finally got it for myself. However I can nae seem to generate good tropical maps. I was hoping for maps with a nice set of multiple larger islands with maybe some rivers running through them and some lakes and stuff. I would also like to make the maps MUCH larger than 16kmx16km... I mean really this does nae make sense to me... 16km is like 1 city... measurements seem quite wrong and when I get to planes I want them to really fly and I wanna be able to use a lot more water options. These things were always so limited in TF1 because smaller maps and lack of water. Any help or ideas?

OP you might get more help if you avoid using Scot dialect. For those who don't understand the Scot dialect 'nae' means 'not' The forum has more people who [also ;D] speak English as a second language.

thanks i tried the mod and it does seem to help make better maps but im currently guessing at the settings. I was able to make a map that was basicly a large island with a big inland sea inside but I am unsure what each setting does to help control the desired outcome. Could you by chance explain?

EDIT: Also i just tried mega... only 24kmX24km... anyway to go bigger?

You could always download real world terrain maps and use them?

Select the location of your choice, download it and then and make adjustments to the image you download, after you've imported it into the game after editing it in the game editor.

If you're running the current game, it's probably another issue that's causing your problem.

The Summer Update doesn't come out until the 8TH JULY. So you're either running the current game or using the Beta version?
