jakerod 254 Posted May 27, 2004 Lorient Island I started Lorient on 2-27-04 so I decided that I would release it exactly 3 months from when I started it. So there it is at the top. I don't have any pictures for it because the second I finished that one and made sure the airport worked I started work on another island (#3). There is no video for the main menu yet Cribban said he would make me one in a few days which is partially why it is a beta version. (Not much will change in the Final version) EDIT: Pictures and mirrors are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted May 27, 2004 very nice, same flawless quality and simplicity as in St.David, i flew around for 5 minutes ( no lag at all) and i really liked the aerial view I have just one minor request, can u plz put some helipads at airport? P.S: no pics as my GCS is refusing to take photos :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landwarrior87 0 Posted May 27, 2004 its against the law to post new addons especially islands without pictures... trust me downloads will be 10x higher when pics r posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted May 27, 2004 If you get pics, downloads will go through the roof, comparably. In the interests of getting accurate news out fast, we tend not to open up the addon and take our own screenshots. -AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toasty McGrath 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Well, before the pics get released... I happen to like this island. it's got alot of open spaces and farmland, perfect for airborne operations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted May 27, 2004 Ya I know it would be better with pictures but I haven't had time to take any been working on that other island a lot and I have finals for the next 2 days then I got 3 days off then another final (Don't know what moron came up with that schedule). Maybe I can take some on the weekend. Gonna add those helipads now I think. EDIT: Helipads Added, Will be in Final version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milkman 1 Posted May 27, 2004 More pics: --- --- --- I like this island like St. David, the only gripe I have is the terrain isn't varied enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakerod 254 Posted May 27, 2004 About Ivanski and Sector Bravo, Sector Bravo won't work in Visitor for some reason not sure why and I just screwed up Ivanski too much that it would take me too long to go back and fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSpencer 0 Posted May 27, 2004 I was amazed at the quality of this island. Flawless. Currently we're working out a Turkish map, considering some Muslim architecture models we now have. Constantinople/Istanbul, Incirilk, and the like have been thrown around, as well as the No-Fly Zone in Iraq bordering Turkey. Northern Iraq/South Turkey is famous for the daring Special Operations attempt on Saddam Hussein's life in early 1995 which caused the deaths of close to 50 US Delta Force and UK SAS troops, as well as the deliberate coverup by the US and UK government. Of course, if you believe Oliver North... And keep in mind new map plans can change prrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyy randomly.

-ZG-BUZZARD 0 Posted May 27, 2004 About Ivanski and Sector Bravo, Sector Bravo won't work in Visitor for some reason not sure why and I just screwed up Ivanski too much that it would take me too long to go back and fix it. Lol, I d/l-ed them both in beta status from a thread in this forum (don't remember which though), Ivanski being in no mean shape (airport non-existent, though). I already praised St. David to heavens high, and this one definitely delivers as well!!! Great work!!! This demonstrates once again that you don't need many huge addons besides OFP Resistance on your Hard Drive just to be able to be somewhere paradisical besides Nogova, Everon, Kolguyev or Malden... This one is definitely for keeps... (guess I'm turning into a BDM-Map-fan ). Only a pity it lacks a golf course Hey what went of the idea of making some golf carts?

the_shadow 0 Posted May 27, 2004 is there any chans that BDM can make their own palm threes and stuff so that we can get a real "pacific" looking island? maybe with some mapfact airport stuff on it? or if someone else can take the time making it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted May 27, 2004 I will see what I can do, my next one won't have them but maybe the one after that. In the mean time check out Scorpio's new island as well as Ebud's vietnam one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakerod 254 Posted May 28, 2004 Nice screenshots there especially of Rhodes. Happens to be the only town name on the island that I remember. Anyone found any bugs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunnder Bunny 0 Posted May 30, 2004 Beautiful island jakerod! I haven't got the heart to drag a military conflict on to it yet. I've got Ghost's rally racers running all around the island. Lots of open road, not sure if you had this in mind when you made the map but it makes for a good race Although I also tossed some civis going about their daily driving into the mix. Met a dude on a bicycle when I was going 125mph.....needless to say he's not going home to is family tonight It all looks great , I don't think I even seen a bush out of place.

I was expecting someone to find a tree in the middle of a road at some point because sometimes I miss things like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
