Virolahti - Valtatie 7

[furean 51]

 

After years of working on and off with this terrain, I'm pleased to finally be able to tell you:

 

Welcome to Virolahti!

 

This is a fictionalized version of the municipality of Virolahti; which is the southeastern-most municipality of Finland and thus right on the border with Russia. This project was started by Tonto and I to make a larger Valtatie 5, a 'spiritual successor' of sorts, for Tonto's VT5. You will find lots of forests, farmlands as well as plenty of villages dotting the terrain. At the moment there is not as much micro-terrain as in VT5, but I might improve upon this in future updates.

 

Trivia:

Size: 18km x 18km

Settlements: 43 villages/towns

Objects: 2.15 million

 

Requirements:

CUP Terrains - Core

 

License:

APL-SA

 

Special thanks to:

Tonto- - For helping me set up this project, object placement, etc.  And of course; for inspiring me to make terrains for Arma 3.

Temppa - For giving me tons of advice in making terrains - without which this terrain would never have been completed! Not to mention the help I got with configs, textures, and so on.

Arma Finland - For playtesting a half-finished terrain throughout the years. Special mention to those who helped with object placement, gave advice/ideas, etc.

Dude - this is one of the best A3 terrains I've seen, on many levels. Anyone reading this, grab it!
Great work, loved VT5 already. 🙂

This is just unbelievable! I’m loving it!

 

Wish we’d have a quality Finnish forces mod to go along with it. SFP’s mod had Finmod’s vests, but they got removed for some reason and the vests now are just horrible.

Phenomenal map, the amount of work that must have gone into it is mind boggling. Thanks so much @furean and your collaborators..

There is a new version now in Steam Workshop.

Primarily some small bugfixes, as per the below change log:

 

Hotfix #1:

Fixed placement of some objects.
Fixed roads (primarily in the Virojoki area).
The fields in the satellite image now have a slightly darker colour.

Just had a drive over this map, and dang, it looks good. Very natural looking, with a good attention to detail without cluttering everything up. 

Overall, great work!

There’s always one, isn’t there?

I recommend an AI controlled boat trip around the coastline, it's pretty special....If i had one suggestion it would be to develop some of the smaller islands around the coastline with some points of interest.
