Aus 10 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Australia Island After many emails requesting pictures of Australia I thought I'd better take a quick break from Island making and post some :) I've tried to capture all types of pics from Town to satellite to show how its coming along. I've recently received some fantastic Australian buildings from Mattaust which meant I've had to replace content so thats slowed the release date down. Thanks to the tonnes of emails I received, I've tried to reply to as many as I can. Some Island details. The island is 40Km x 40Km and covers 1600Km2 to give you a rough idea of scale Altis is 270Km2. (i think) its takes approx 25-30 mins to drove from Perth to Darwin up the West coast road in a stock Hatchback. All road signs show actual distance is Km's. I've recently completed the sound pack which has Australian Birds from magpies to Currawongs and Kookaburras. (i may remove the Kookaburras as they are annoying after a while.) All Capital city airports feature Auto Landing facilities for those players that aren't crash hot pilots (no pun intended there). Green map icons show auto landing versus Blue icons which are manual landing. To do List Dust on Textures - has been added so I can cross that off the list Satellite image <--- this is still a work in progress, anyone thats made an island knows the detailed required here, I'm currently adding the cities to the image.Capital Cities - - Rebuilding several parts of Sydney, Adelaide and Darwin as they had Arma1 buildings which weren't enterable.Towns - - Tweaking these now and will add more after release date.Roads - Playing testing revealed some bumpy roads which have been smoothed out ( I think Ive found them all )Tasmania - I've completed the road network and Airport but still trying to get time to add cities/towns (sorry to all tassy players I will get it done.)Boats Having a big problem with boats getting stuck when they touch the shore line. If anyone has an answer to this please let me know :) Pictures - Taken with 20K view distance https://www.dropbox.com/sh/un6ao35xfx5x2k8/AACiOLoHuqLT153Q2wiYGVO9a?dl=0 Click on the Thumbnails to get full size pic :) I'll post up some more of the cities ---------- Post added at 06:12 ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 ---------- Heres an old BIS thread if anyones interested to check the progress out, as you can see the Arma3 textures look much better http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?84426-Australia-island-in-Arma2 Edited March 23, 2015 by Aus spell and grammar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikiforos 450 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Absolutely stunning!!! I love the custom buildings you use and the overall look of your work. Edit: Just read the old thread and it seems that you never released the island for Arma 2. Any specific reason? Of course you don't need to explain anything , I'm just curious :) The last post was from this guy: 05-10-2010, 02:19 PM jonneymendoza Join Date May 2009 Posts 676 hope this island does get released.

zodd 14 Posted March 10, 2015 Absolutely awesome mate. I have been hanging for a decent Australia map. Looks amazing so far; excellent contrast between desert, aussie bush, rural and (I am guessing) bigger population centres. It looks like you have nailed parts of the northern/central QLD coast! The one thing I hope is as amazing as the rest is the jungle. One map that I think has done a great job is NZiwasogo ( http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?172251-N-Ziwasogo-A3-terrain-%28Released%29 ) - Any chance the tropics will get some decent love? Keep up the great work and give me a bell if there is anything you need help with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phronk 898 Posted March 12, 2015 Map looks very cool. If it's actually accurate, I'll like it even more! How does AI handle pathfinding in this map? Is it all squared away and they drive on roads normally and are able to walk around or into buildings fine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
