    Feature request: Egypt-Libya border line to be made visible on the in-game map

    Hi guys, the Border Wire fence is a great landmark to navigate in the game, but it is a bit difficult to use as it does not appear on the in-game map. Would it be possible to have a dashed line marking the international border between Egypt and Libya on the in-game map?

    Hi Flare,

    I added the Libyan-Egyptian border on this version of the Tobruk Map for flashcards.

    If there is a general interest, I'll see if it can get included in a next release

    That's fantastic, Noofy. It would be great to have it implemented on the in-game map as well as the pdf file though. Much easier to look at the zoomable ingame one than to open the pdf on a second screen.

    That's out of my jurisdiction I'm afraid...

    Hello Flare I guess this would be my jurisdiction but we have currently no way to mark the border without redoing the NAV map and it is a huge file. To my knowledge there is no Country marker within the map tools so that would have to be created also so what we did was to color the sand differently all along the border making it easy to identify from the air sir. Since mission builders have the advantage to mark the current front lines you would think the country lines make no difference during the combat phase of a war. Only after it is over would these lines be important to the countries.

    Hi Fatal,

    Good to hear the technical bits behind how this is done. The reason I would like it is so when you see the border from the air you can open up the map and see where you are in relation to towns/airfields etc. Currently the border wire has great potential to be used as a navigation aid because of how visibile it is from the air but it's not actually very useful because it doesn't appear on the map. If it was just marked the same was as a road for example but maybe in grey instead of brown that would probably suffice.
