Daniel 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Hi guys. I made a few islands back in OFP that never got released. One project I made a start on back in 2005 was the Lake District in NW England. (See http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:FVa_qGzV4DMJ:ofp.gamepark.cz/forum/index.php%3Fs%3D73dc2fdf529a32148e9d41549b24ffe0%26showtopic%3D23948%26view%3Dold+ofp.info+"furness+2006"&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) So to start this again for ArmA II, i'm going to need to buy or acquire a high quality DEM, and start to learn Visitor 3 from the beginning. If anyone has any good links or advice on either, please chuck them this way! Thanks, Daniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I think that there´re no ArmA2 related Tutorials available at the time. The Biki is mixed I guess, but the content is not well explained. So tutorials of dedicated Arma2 terrain editing need to get written by someone who want to do this...so we need to be patient...unfortunately. Or crying for help until some of the experts gives up and represents his way step by step and reevaluable...:D Edited August 20, 2009 by MemphisBelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Haha, cheers. I'm not in any particular rush so I think i'll wait around for a dedicated tutorial. :) Also, if any of the ArmA mappers (people like Opteryx, Nicholas Bell, etc) that used them has advice on acquiring and using DEM maps, that would be appreciated.

Daniel 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks, but have you got a good link to any UK DEMs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterman 0 Posted August 21, 2009 I use a web service called digimap, however it is only for educational establishments (universities etc) and as I am a student access is free. It allows access to download OS maps (most formats including Landranger) in digital format for programs like AutoCAD/Photoshop/Terragen... So Oridinance Survey is probably a good place to start. A quick google search returned this site: http://www.vterrain.org/Locations/uk/ Another one is http://www.srtm.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9thAircav 0 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) would a grey scale height map do? Edited August 22, 2009 by 9thAircav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
