Thanks, my unit has already done a mini-op on here to test the AI path finding, and all I can say is the dense tree lines make firefights extended and more challenging, and the AI pathfinding is very good, surprisingly.

You guys are already using the map?

I was hoping that today I would have been releasing the early alpha version of this terrain, but I can't due to the stupid clutter won't work. Frustration at max level with clutter :mad:

If anyone has any solution or fixes to my configs which I will have a link to below, I would appreciate it, as I would love to release the alpha version atleast with better detail than just trees, bushes, rocks and buildings.

make sure to see my latest reply to my post to seek my newest edited configs (Which don't work).

Great news... looking forward to alpha

[Drifter 167]

Terrain update:

* Added more compounds and foliage lines

* Added more plantation areas

* Fixed clutter issues, clutter is now working

* Smoothed out the runway

* v1.0 Alpha release

Features so far:

* Airfield with working ILS and working PAPI lights for final approach landings

* Extensive runway, easy for C17's and C130's to take off and land.

* About 98% buildings enterable, maybe 100%

* 2 FOB's FOB Raider (Airfield) and FOB Eagle (Mountain FOB)

* 2 paved roads mainly for transport to FOB Raider and FOB Eagle and to the edges of the map

* Multiple dirt roads and foot patrol paths

* Small villages and rural plantation fields

WIP / To do list:

* Align roads with bridges

* Touch up on a few foliage and rocks (As some are facing the same way)

* Touch up and add objects in a few compounds so it doesn't seem deserted

* Change a few of the clutter models to more desert like clutter

* Place COPs (Combat Outposts)

* Create town names on map

* Fix grid issues (You have to zoom in really close to see the 6 digit grids)

Since this is Alpha release don't expect it to be beautiful :o

As a this is my first time with terrain builder and buldozer, I am experimenting with a few designs and layouts.

If you have any recommendations please feel free to speak them, as I am a very open person to opinions and inputs for this terrain :D

Thanks everyone who helped me. Have fun with this half finished terrain.

If it has not already been mentioned or it's not already indexed I would highly recommend getting this map indexed for ALiVE. PLEASE!

Is it compatible with ALiVE yet?
