Korengal Valley, Afghanistan [Release Thread]

[Drifter 167]

Requirements:

About the terrain:

This terrain will be base on the real terrain of the Korengal Valley, I am trying as hard as I can to make this terrain as accurate as possible to the real deal. The terrain will consist of all the foot paths, roads, buildings, compounds, landmarks and bases that are present on the terrain in real life.

Features:

* Korengal Outpost

* OP Restrepo (Former site) - This area will be on map and empty for custom base layouts

* Towns / villages

* Roads and patrol paths

* Caves and hidden basements in houses

* Dried river with rocks (The base of the valleys are gradually increasing in height so water in the river will not make it with out flooding the valley.)

More to be shown in the future.

Map view / sat map:

(Due to google maps not having up to date pictures of the area their is a chunk of map that is colored differently due to that area not updated in google maps. Sadly their was no way to fix it.)

Looks good! I'm looking forward to giving it a go!

[cosmic10r 2331]

Thanks Drifter. ... awesome stuff!

[M. Wolf 288]

WOW! Very nice looking, downloading now :D

[spyderblack723 407]

Really looking forward to this progressing. I've always loved Clafghan and have been waiting for an solid A3 version of the Korengal Valley to show up.

[Drifter 167]

what is going on new map every where love it

I know right, Kandahar by Anthriel, Al Qut Iraq by Opteryx, the Italian island map which I can't remember the name and author, and this. I'm surprised my self :D

Good frames, well developed (the parts you have been working on), love the altitude variation. Sat mask? Make your own :)

I also see you have the infamous "Tartan bug", a problem I've been fighting for awhile. Hopefully BIS gets around to fixing it. What, if I may ask, are the sampler settings you are using in TB?

Watched both docs: Restrepo/Korengal. Brutal. Can't imagine what they went through.

Thanks for the new Map.

[EricJ 765]

From my end at Blessing the 155s would shoot everyday (was on the deployment after 173rd) for Viper (B 1-26 everyday), as if they weren't shooting for us, they'd be rocking the pad daily. Only when they killed those 17 dudes around May, Junish 2009 was it quiet for around a month, then some new guys showed up and it continued on...

Nice map though I'll give it that, though wish it went up to Blessing then you could stage some Scorchers and light up the area that way...

BTW Drifter, still getting JBAD building errors even though I do have the latest version of the JBAD buildings (0512815). Other than that runs pretty smooth. Yeah I know it's alpha, but so you know...

Thanks for this, I will look into this. See if the error is on my side.

[EricJ 765]

Okay yeah, at first I thought I had an old version of the buildings, so I redownloaded it and yeah still getting some errors though when I open the map up.

What is the error exactly? Before I released the update, I tried it and got no errors.

[EricJ 765]

Hmmm.... okay let me try something as it may be the Kandahar map tha's causing the ruckus...

---------- Post added at 23:41 ---------- Previous post was at 23:36 ----------

Okay removed the Kandahar map and getting this error:

Cannot find:

"jbad_misc\misc_controltower\tv_a\jbad_tv_a.p3d"

That's the only one I'm getting.

[ice_age0815 37]

Just looked and I don't get this

[EricJ 765]

Hrm... then another map is jacked up... and I'm wrong as a two dollar bill.

My apologies Drifter, false alarm...

Yeah again my bad, I had an older version of the JBAD buildings in another mod folder, so it was looking at "that one" and re ran it after deleting, no issues.

I hear a bell ringing.. :P

Pretty nice terrain! I like the pictures. The city/village at the slope is awesome! :)

greets, DonJon!

Excellent work Drifter. By the way, where can I find former OP Restrepo on the map? An 8-digit grid would be awesome.

OP Restrepo former site is located at 6 digit 068269 - 8 digit 06852695 just southwest of Korengal Outpost around 400 - 500 meters.
