Any way Dev's can get pics of any Air Bases on the SA map? If there are some I hope there real Air Bases and not just a run way and few buildings..I'm hoping for a Bagram size Air Base that can hold and handle multiple squadrons or jets and attack/transport aircraft, and atleast a Division of Soldiers! Well..there goes for hoping anyways..takistan Airports are way too small!!!

[purepassion 22]

OH YES :)

Take on cool dudes

This week we're planning to update the 'story' section of our website, adding a few more details about the characters and their history.

Paul Kelly works for the Larkins, providing location management and security for Highland Park Heliport.

Kelly retired from the SPD years earlier, but - an old friend of the family - he came back to work for Larkin Aviation shortly before Harry Larkin passed away.

Can we get more Info on the "South Asia" Terrain? How will the hugh lake play a role in that map, or is it just a sexy eye candy??? And for what reason was that section of Cali Desert(including the Lake) Chose?? why not use actual Afghan Sats like most of the comunity does, specially since BIS has tools to make it better then any of use comunity menbers can do with the tools we have ATM?

Also the Story that will be attached to the SA map, your an U.S. Army Pilot(Flying what looks to be Canadian Army Helos :confused:, cuz the U.S. Army dont use Bell412, actually no U.S. Military uses them)....so whats up with that?

And how many FOB's will be on that map, How many Air Bases will be on that map???

And most important...will the terrain detail be better then the "Eye Sore" thats the Seattle Map uses.....i really hope so!!!!

remember that the map will be 120km x 120km! Which is really huge ;)

Map size has got an immense impact on the detail available/usable

Wait! Lark Rising? lol :D Gotta love BIS xD

[purepassion 22]

small update:

Here is the very slick logo of Larkin Aviation. It does indeed look great!

good job guys :)

Also, a personal wish ( if it would be appropriet and possible), please use the voice actor of the character "Howard Maddox" somehow in Arma 3, I imagine something like callsign "Papa Bear" :D That would be absolutely lovely :)

Does anyone know for a fact if the Texture Detail for the South Asia Map is better then that of the Seattle map? Lets hope so...im very disapointed with that map, should have stuck with a Fictional map like in Arma2 so that way they can edit it to make it nice and pretty lol!

Can a DEV tell me if the SA Maps detail is the same as Takistans Detail?

It has nothing to do with being a real or fictional map. It has to do with the size, amount of objects etc. The current size (60km x 60km or 120km x 120km) on Arma 2 quality will not happen. Smaller maps can of course be more detailed, just like flying the community preview on the arma 2 maps :)

thanks guys, and yeah the arma2 map is based on actual terrain as all BIS maps, but since its a Fictional Country(Chernuras) they could edit out somethings and make ground look better! Also i didnt mean object detail...as far as that and any other things to do with the SA map..its perfect, i mean the actual ground textures, as everyone has complained about the poor quality of the texture(Satmap) of the seattle map, and lack of real roads....plus compared to the ground textures on the arma2/oa maps the grass areas look bad! so far from the pics ArmAriffic posted, all looks perfect and very much like what afghanistan looks like, my only objection is, use actual roads like Arma2/oa with side walks and all, and a Hugh Realistic Air Base(that looks simular to Bagram/Kandahar) not the small platoon size, OFP-Looking Air Fields in Arma2/OA!

Again sorry to everyone and BIS if i seem like an asshole(tho i can be) i dont mean too, im just so....i dont know...feeling like a kid on christmas...that its hard to control myself! i dont really play games(PC or console) just BIS games, which to me and others aint a game, but more of a hobby! So tbh, i get ahead of myself and get too excited lol, and since i still since arma1 cant seem to make my own realistic afghan maps im stuck with the stock BIS maps, no offence to the Community made maps, its just BIS has the resorces to do what half of us community members wish we had, i wish we had tools to make maps off of real afghan terrain like VBS2 can do!!! <- HINT HINT BIS

Dave,

Can someone make a quick vid of the South Asia Map for me, with a glance at the Air Base maby? In a sick way, i need something to torcher me through the day till i get off work...and watching a vid off my phone is a sick, yet satisfied way to occupy me till get off later tonight! ;)

BTW, do we get an updated version of the BAF Shapur Map?
