Jungle Wars: Island of Lingor

5. Three airports with working ILS & AI takeoff/landing + 1 extra airport just for players

Ooooh thats great news. That extra airport ... i have a vision of a little strip in the wilderness, trees and bushes makes it hard to see from air. No ILS or anything to give away its position, just a remote place that cannot be found exept by those who already know where it is.... ;)

Remember that rotten airfield in JurassicPark3?

You're a bit off, its a very demanding airport up in the mountains ;)

Here's a video:

I think he might talk about the one up in the hills ;)

EDIT: Ups, bit too late :D

Btw, would be a nice gimmick to see that An-2 wrack implemented in your map :)

I'm sorry for a bit of delay with public beta release, I'm not used to release stuff that looks incomplete - and making a lush green island is a whole different matter than releasing a desert map.

I've even bought Tropico 3 game for some cool island inspiration ;) I though I'll be done with it by now, but lack of help (Diablo helped me with Duala buildings templates - thats what I miss the most, streets, bases etc.) is taking toll on the time. As you probably guessed I'm not able to work on "free" projects all day long ;) and 10x10km map that needs max detail is a big beast to handle....

But don't worry, its shaping up nicely and release is not very far away.

If you can offer help:

- converting OFP stuff that I have permission to convert, oxygen & config work...

- map templates (.pew on empty map) such as bases, small towns, factories, drug plants etc. (necessary: to use default A2/OA objects)

Take your time. :)

[sv5000 127]

no rush champ, all of your islands are well worth the wait

[Marc Shepard 10]

Very nice!

Things are getting ready for the opening ceremony. Inspectors are just checking out architect Mr. Mondkalb's crowd stands that must be safe for 75-150 people attending the Powershow (airshow & car stunts).

Wow, very unique & great idea. :)

[papanowel 120]

Excellent, it will be awesome.

Just seen the shot you posted in the photography thread and damn it looks fine!

Any news on the "Opening Ceremony", dates times etc?

[jadehorus 10]

IceBreaker, you really nail it every time!I was just thinking that with all the desert and the east european environments in Arma2, we lack some south american sand box for variety!!

Can't wait!

[icebreakr 3157]

I need to do a lot of work on the satellite image (since its fictional land I'm using bunch of data from South America/Mexico/Dominicana, heh) but its slowly getting there:

Saturation will be cut down on lower-right corner land.

Didn't anyone see the lovely Mig-21BIS in the previous shot? It will be the main CAS/CAP fighter on Lingor for both sides thanks to wld247 :) I'm also in big anticipation of a "slayer" project now being in safe hands of a very talented mod maker. I'm glad I don't have to deal with it myself with all the work remaining on the island and missions :)

[esco7800 10]

nice mig from wld247 in great job so far IceBreakr

[icebreakr 3157]

Thanks esco7800, jadehorus and all others for kind words. Thats what keeps me going =)

Here's a bonus pic :)

Oh wow, I can't wait for the release of that. All who get invited to the opening event are lucky. Guess I'll deal with blowing up the jungle alone when it is in public beta that day XD

Still can't wait. Rumble in the jungle... chills down the spine thinking about the missions that can be had on Lingor.

[enad 11]

Oh my god Icebreaker, this is gonna be the best map ever! :D

[skyman 10]

Great map! congrats

[WallyJas 10]

Is that remote strip on the cliff going to have it's Tarmac ripped off .... S urely that would be a dirt strip.

Incredible work, your islands are the best.

May I ask what the 'slayer' project is? Surely you don't mean my favorite band, do you? :eek:

Thanks for the updates though, I always look forward to your posts.
