Title: Gizme Routemap Studio
Post by: gizgiz on January 04, 2008, 12:04:46 pm
Seeing as my schedule is quite free at the moment, I am now offering this new service to all AM airlines. However, there will be rules. :twisted:
(1) The service is completely free. (2) You must request a routemap for yourself and yourself only. If your "friend" would like one, please ask them to post here directly. (3) READ THE MENU before requesting. If you do not request properly, I will not accept your order. (4) Please allow 72 hours for delivery. I know this is three months in-game, but it will take some time for me to generate the base map as well as Photochopping it up for you ;)
Step One Choose a background "base" map. This can be Europe, North America, or any minutely detailed area you wish. For example, if you were a French domestic airline, you can say "Just France without rest of Europe". I'll get you a map of just France floating around :) If you have a specific map you want to use from the net, give me the URL. Here, also provide the map projection you want to use. If you don't have one in mind, I would suggest a Robinson (slightly at the edges) or a Mercator project (most common type)
Step Two Select the 25 routes from your hub (and up to 10 from each focus city) you want me to put on your map. If you put more than 25, I ignore them :)
Step Three Describe precisely what you want your legend and map to look like. Things like the colours of the routes, background splash, legend font should be included. Also include your legend text here.
Step Four Understand that making a route map from an ArcView file is not easy. Wait 72 hours. I will contact you if you missed something/I don't understand something.
Thanks, and let the requests begin!
I will contact you in case I don't understand anything / you are missing something in your request.

I dont even understand what u said, its a bit confusing with all those requirements. I'll read it more carefully later when my brain will have had some rest.

asiaone and TNW accepted. QUEUE 66% FULL.
Asiaone:
I don't have the Trajan Pro font. Could you please email it to me (cheesycx409@gmail.com) please? Thanks ;) Please take a look at your basemap to see whether this is what you wanted.
Everything should be OK. Here's your current basemap, but considering you only want the south-east section, I may need to find the states maps for you, which I need to search for. Shouldn't be too hard, but awaiting your decision. Do check your current basemap please.

a very nice concept! i have made a "complete" mapping once, beyond what the default great cicle allows, and had a very cluttered map despite being a small airline then, so your limit just makes alot of sense.
i will compile the information required to request a map soon!
this was the image i had back then in the 2000 round: (http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/4/1/5/f_alfc2m_0a46305.png) (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/4/1/5/f_alfc2m_0a46305.png&srv=img32)

Looks good. You can do the states thing if you would like...but I really only need the boxed area on the map.

wow that looks great
for mine: maybe a special gold for Mainland China to make it distinct from the other countries. And if you have a darker blue( a it more like the sea) tat would be cool too.
