Bridge at wrong position on Rhineland map

[CorvusX]

Hi,

well, I know this is a little bit late and I bet at least 99.96% of Il-2 players don't care about this "problem"
but on the Bodenplatte map, in square 1823 a bridge is missing and there is one present, that was build 20 years after the war.
And to be honest, I didn't know either until yesterday.
 

Yesterday at a small history exhibition, I had the opportunity to see an original map from 1940 of my beloved hometown and
I noticed that one of the three bridges in the BoB-Rheinland map is placed incorrectly.
 

Spoiler

 

From North to south:
The (1)"Oberkasseler Bridge" is correctly placed on the Rhineland map.
The (2) "Rheinknie-Brücke" (Rhine-Knee-Bridge) was built from 1965 to 1969, before that there was no bridge there, even though the idea of building a bridge there came up in 1912.
South of the (3) "Hammer-Railroad-Bridge", which is also placed correctly, the (4) "Neusser Brücke/Südbrücke" is missing.

Spoiler

 

Only these three bridges (1,3 and 4) existed at that time and all were blown up by the Wehrmacht on March 3, 1945.
After the war, all three bridges were rebuilt in the same locations or nearby, and over time, 4 more bridges were built until today.

The "fix" is quite simple and fast done, the "RK-bridge" needs to be moved to the position of the missing "Neusser-Bridge/Southbridge".

Spoiler

Maybe if the devs and the map designer are bored for a few minutes, they can correct this 
(eventually plus deleting 1-3 trees, close to the new positioned bridge)

Anyway, it's a really great map and a lot of great  and hard work has gone into it, so please don't get me wrong, I really like it and am enjoying it a lot!
But now that I know...  
 

Spoiler

 

I bet the devs have more important things to do, so I fixed it myself to use for my purposes.
So if anyone is interested in bombing or protecting the bridges in their historically correct location,
you can use the attached file.
Just load this Bridge-group-file into the mission editor instead of the original one.
