xawery 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Hi all, I'm looking for an ArmA island with a more Central European/Scandinavian feel to it. I'm not a big fan of all those banana republic themes... My question is thus: are there any islands like that? I know about Schmalfelden of course, but its beauty also makes it nigh unplayable on my pc... I'm looking for something with a size/level of detail comparable to North Sahrani. I would appreciate any suggestions! Regards, Xawery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xawery 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Hehe, indeed, as Opteryx pointed out, I do. But as has been said, it's too laggy for the type of mission I have in mind. So, are there any other islands you would recommend? I'm really growing tired of the vacation resorts turned war zones... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller 49 Posted July 8, 2008 Puh the most islands are vacation resorts. Perhaps little islands such as: Saltbeach or yanutha or Sarve Island I think you look at Armaholic.com, Download Island  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3098 Posted July 9, 2008 Yanutha and Sarve 1.3 are the best choice for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Tooting into the same horn I posted a message in the 1.1 feedback thread, kindly asking BIS to release a standalone version of North Sahrani as they did with South Sahrani. I guess this alone would raise performance alot as it did wonders to the South aswell. I´m not aware of a standalone North done by a modder, but please correct me if I´m wrong. I think having the north as a standalone done by BIS and published with a possible patch would be the best solution to keep the versions unified and make it easier for editors to produce missions on that part of the island.

lone.wolf 80 Posted July 9, 2008 What about the ACE CWC Islands Pack, where you can choose the texture yourself... I have used them in missions for european themes, from woodland to snow warfare... I can recommend them as a alternative to the others the community mentioned... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xawery 0 Posted July 9, 2008 The ACE CWC island pack is nice, but it's still of OFP quality - small, few objects, homogenous terrain. A standalone version of North Sahrani would certainly be nice, I don't know why they didn't do it once South Sahrani was introduced. However, I would be most interested in an island not only with European terrain, but also European city/landmark names. I don't know, the Spanish theme really doesn't do it for me. I have always associated OFP/ArmA with a cold, rainy, desolate setting. In short: autumn in Eastern Europe Having revolutionary billboards in every town and umbrellas on the beach really kills the immersion for me. I'll give Yanutha and Sarve a whirl, thanks!

modemmaik 53 Posted July 9, 2008 Placing some add vegetation, using the Authumn plants addon, should give it the most european style. You can see the effect on some of the BW-mod vids. I think they used the authum plants on schmalfelden, but it should also be useable on every other island (I have not tested this yet). BR, mike :edit: Ups.. sorry, but there is also a replacement available: Plants replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xawery 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Hey, great find modEmMaik! Thanks, that's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Yanutha and Sarve look very nice, but are too small for my purposes. North Sahrani looks amazing with these trees Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
