.Taffy 10 Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) There is in fact a Facebook page for Limnos. I wonder if any of them could identify the locations, perhaps even take some photos? http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=119452 EDIT: Perhaps it was this one http://www.facebook.com/pages/Limnos/103106629730235 Edited May 22, 2011 by .Taffy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted May 22, 2011 @.Taffy: You linked this very forum page :p In google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.907576,25.256143&z=11&t=h&hl=en Must say, it looks like an excellent choice. Hope the mountains in the west are close to Takistan (feature wise). But I'd like some rivers. Deep and wide enough for AI driven boats to navigate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmAriffic 10 Posted May 22, 2011 i hope they put rocks/coral underwater, if we can dive we need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00ce 160 Posted May 22, 2011 It looks like the island, if truly 1:1 scale, will be roughly 35x30km of land mass. I'm fucking STOKED for the island and I would pay 60$ for it alone, let alone all of the engine upgrades and new content that come with. Can a BIS Dev confirm the scale of the island, please? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=seany=- 5 Posted May 22, 2011 Very Sweet and clever find! The island looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pele93 10 Posted May 22, 2011 Awesome find! Hopefully there's some nice spots to dive around there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted May 22, 2011 @b00ce: Guessing of course, but I don't expect anything less than Takistans 12x12 (or 13x13? unsure). So 13x13 to 16x16 with sea expanding to 20x20 - 25x25 doesn't seem unlikely. The towns on the original doesn't seem feasible to put in a game, but I would like to have a few Paraiso sized reasonably modern towns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00ce 160 Posted May 22, 2011 Well judging by http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1928651&postcount=3, it looks pretty close to 1:1, but that could just be that one place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted May 22, 2011 Looking at the thickness of the roads, it doesn't seem like 1:1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damu 10 Posted May 22, 2011 Yes, it's little smaller. But not much. There are more reasons, especially the travel distances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b00ce 160 Posted May 22, 2011 So do I. It being scaled down to even 20x17km would be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajsarge 10 Posted May 22, 2011 What about the airfield/airports? In A2 the cherno airfield is only moderately realistic. Are we going to see proper lighting, spacing, taxiway safety margins, and etc. in A3? As well as lengths? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
