That does imply a slightly greater separation between Nogova and the rest, since it suggests that the original 3 are a group.  But there is no point in putting them miles apart - as long as they are "over the horizon" that's good enough.

IMHO the only sensible place for Desert Island is where you've put it, SW of Nogova.   (Since it is the same shape as the training island, which I called Kassalon, it should be as far away from there as possible.)

this is an odd one. i've been replaying the cwc campaign. i have this



and have just finished the first mission flying NorthEast away from Malden, supposedly towards Kolgujev.

the next mission has us approaching Kolgujev from the NorthEast, at the top-right of the map. so we flew past the island and returned?

either way, the approximates are there. it's all good. :)

I thought St. Louis was on Everon?

And read what the briefing says...

yet the marker says Malden...  ??? ???

Everon = Saint Pierre & Saint Phillippe
Malden = Saint Louis & Sainte Marie

i suspect the original campaigns suffer from typos as much as any user-made mission. consider nogovo and nogova. both spellings are used in the same BIS website...

it is bottom left

i realize its on the bottom left. i'm suggesting that it shouldn't be. as it is the small training island off of Malden without any objects or grass textures, i'm meaning to say that it is effectively on the map twice.

Don't get me wrong but...
Couldn't you just try to measure latitude and longitude on the various islands to set up relative map positions ? At least you should get the latitude right.
;D
