smokedog3para 365 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Hi all a friend asked me to make him a terrain for vehicle testing so I choose Bovington testing grounds for the project it comes in at 5 km x 5km with 5 meter cells which gives some nice detail to the ground so the dirt tracks are bumpy and not so easy to travel on in some areas. http://i42.tinypic.com/i6ja8j.png (520 kB) I am only about 10 hours in to the project but have some good results so far that I thought I would share with you, this will be for A2\A3 I will do a version for both. This is an ideal area for vehicle training and testing and honing your skills on the terrain with its sweeping hills and feature objects like the no10 bridge the knife edge and the water coarse, there is miles of tracks to use on this terrain. http://i39.tinypic.com/2cwrb7m.png (709 kB) http://i42.tinypic.com/28cpmat.png (697 kB) http://i43.tinypic.com/n5q3xj.png (590 kB) http://i42.tinypic.com/2aezed2.png (634 kB) http://i39.tinypic.com/33kvlsm.png (638 kB) http://i40.tinypic.com/abqfdj.png (676 kB) http://i41.tinypic.com/2zxyvwi.png (525 kB) http://i39.tinypic.com/jjsktj.png (582 kB) Edited November 10, 2013 by SmokeDog3PARA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjph 0 Posted November 11, 2013 I know the Bovington grounds and used to attend the 'Battle Days' there years ago. I take it you won't be creating Monkey World just across the road . . . Looks awesome btw. cj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokedog3para 365 Posted November 11, 2013 lol I have been there every year for over 36 years, the parents took me there every holiday as it was only down the road from where we staying now I do the same with the kids. I remember the battle days big shows tanks and choppers re enacting action force and cobra now called gi joe, rides on the stolly and big zip lines second hand military shows grab yourself a nice deactivated weapon the good old days sigh now I am left with the Aldershot show that is getting smaller and smaller each year and no rides allowed were did it all go wrong. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mc Diddles 10 Posted November 11, 2013 As someone who lives an hour and a half drive from Bovington (the constant visits to the Tank Museum in cadets, jesus) can't say I'm not excited, especially when it's coming from one of the most detailed map creators in Arma. What I would give to see Lulworth beach in Arma... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokedog3para 365 Posted November 11, 2013 Cheers that's a big complement but not sure if its deserved yet lol. We were talking about the Lulworth cove area if I can get this wrapped up quick it may well be in the pipe line. Good news on my hard drive hopefully at the end of the month I can get it sent off and fixed giving the community a good xmas prez with stanta training area Waziristan new sangin and belfast plus the 300 plus addons on it 2 years work I hope will be salvaged.

mihikle 2 Posted November 11, 2013 Looking awesome mate. That'll be good for some European style exercises and that. Looking forward to them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjph 0 Posted November 11, 2013 Between battle days and Portland navy days South Dorset was the place in the 70s and 80s for military lovers ! Battle day always ended with the troops having to damp down the heathland fires cause by flares etc.. Happy days, watching combined arms assaults with Harriers hovering above the treetops overhead. Thinking about it the (long decommissioned) Portland naval base with the helicopter pads would make an awesome map. cj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gudsawn 93 Posted November 25, 2013 Good to see some European terrain in the works! I'm also glad it's quite a small map as well, maybe we'll get some decent frames for once :p Could prove quite useful for some of our training excercises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
progamer 14 Posted November 26, 2013 I have always wanted a place based on a real world location to test vehicles! Will it feature "pools of water" for showing off floating vehicles, a shooting range, a ramp for incline testing, and a washboard like section for testing suspension like at RAE 2013?

smokedog3para 365 Posted December 6, 2013 @Progamer the pools of water I did add in but when I drove through them the tanks and vehicles sank in 30cm of water they went up to their roofs it was like quicksand their is a knife edge for testing incline washboard can be added I have tried to not make the tracks small and smooth I have roughed some ground up for testing.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it. The Russians like to show off tanks shooting after they are airborne from a ramp. Will we see that as well? Russian tanks can also drive underwater for short periods of time. Can we test this on your terrain? Edited December 7, 2013 by ProGamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokedog3para 365 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Right guys ive got a test version no whistles and bells just as is, it will still be worked on, but its not a priority at the moment sangin is https://www.dropbox.com/s/x9ol1gg0ro01af2/%40Bovinton%20Tank%20Range.rar only 20 hours so more will be added like the warehouses and other bits and pieces but for testing vehicles its fine for that just run with a3mp as a2 version does not work because of the 5m cell and a2 not liking it.
