icebreakr 3100 Posted October 9, 2009 As you noticed, v2.3 is still not out. Yesterday we completed a final beta testing of v2.3, but I had to remake Arnoldstein and Smugglers airports (added taxi runways) so AI can use these two. Other 2 smaller airfields can be used by AI too but they have trouble turning at the end (not enough space). New stuff: - new island added on SW, property of Druglord Ramon Vidal (Taff Grove Town & Pikia Village) - added lush vegetation and small villages to Northern mountains and coastal area - fixed pebble texture and further improvement of all green vegetation - gas station Schnell and army fuel stations can now explode and burn Keshman: will add it, don't ya worry.

Maddmatt 1 Posted October 10, 2009 Just some comments on the island... The sat texture looks bad in some places, mainly some parts seem to have a shadow in the texture and some parts are blue. I can't make out any of those problems in the screenshots of the new version so maybe it's been improved? The ArmA 1 buildings lack the proper material definitions of the ArmA 2 buildings. So bullets can't penetrate them and they show the dirt impact effect when shot. They also lack destructible parts. I know this isn't an easy thing to address but replacing some buildings with similar ArmA 2 ones would be an improvement IMO. Anyway, good work on the island. Look forward to the update :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icebreakr 3100 Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Sorry, have no experience in creating Warfare/CTI maps :/ but I'll setup a page where missions will be posted for this island. Update report just before the release of 2.3: - added several lakes and rock formations to improve the rocky areas that will be useful for my "Cliffhanger" mission that I'm making. - added river in Northern area and smaller settlements (shacks) - upgraded airports so they are now bigger and feature taxi paths (also for AI) - numerous terrain fixes (smoothing) Edited October 11, 2009 by IceBreakr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icebreakr 3100 Posted October 15, 2009 The_Angry_Canadian: well, project is cancelled. j/k, final tests are underway right now, it will be released if we don't notice any major bugs... and there is a massive upgrade, I alone spent more than 80 hours on this project in just a month :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoxiouS 10 Posted October 15, 2009 The_Angry_Canadian: well, project is cancelled. My heart dropped when i read that :/:D I've been using this island to practice my low level flying with the F-16 through the valleys. Just awesome. It reminds me of when i was little and holidaying in the lake district. the raf would fly though the valleys and scare the shit out of me. i've been obsessed ever since. Kudos. :cool: Can't wait for new version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
