HEBONTES AAF/NATO MILITARY TRAINING GROUND BY HUNGER & CHRISSY INTRODUCTION Dear ArmA 3 Community, my girlfriend Chrissy and me are happy to announce the release of our recent project, the island of Hebontes. After more than four months of planning, painting, terraforming, repaint, design and object placement we finally got the first release candidate working. Sure the island is yet not perfect and has many issues, but since our summer vacation ist ahead, we had to get a combat ready version out now. My wish was to give all ArmA 3 communitys a place where they can practise their tactics, especially infantry, mech infantry and tanks. Hebontes is a fictional mix of several training grounds in Germany, fittet in the setting of vanilla ArmA3. Parts of Grafenwöhr, Bergen, Munster Nord and several fictional places are the foundation for Hebontes. I want to thank Christin B. Daniel F. George Floros for their continous support and help, to get this thing working. Without them, the terrain would be released in two years or so. Thank you very much. STORY OF HEBONTES In 1957, the Republic of Altis and Stratis has been in need for a dedicated training ground for their recently deployed forces, the AAF. Since the island of Hebontes was nearby and basically only populated by a hand full of fishermen, the decision finally has been made to resettle the population of Hebontes to Altis and Stratis. After 60% of Hebontes population has been resettled, the transformation began. Shooting ranges were built, a training camp was established and the "Hebontes Command and Control" began their service in 1970. In 1981, the first NATO Forces, especially USA, Germany and France deployed bataillions for training aside the AAF. During the Civil War, Hebontes was used as headquater as well as hub for resupply and reorganisation.

Support for my Map Hebontes would also be awesome. Thank you!

Hey Guys! I would like to introduce you to the project me and my girlfriend are working on right now. Since the A3 Tanks DLC ist on final, we thougt it would be cool to have some kind of training area for AAF/Nato infantry, armored and mechanized units. This is why we decided to create the Island of Hebontes. The terrain is approx 18x18 kilometers with propably 15x15 kilometers of actual land mass. It consists of 18 shooting ranges, 4 infantry ranges, 12 shooting ranges for armored troops, a hand grenade range and a range for anti-tank weapons. Between all of these ranges is the actual proving ground. Sattelite Map and Hightmap are all made from scratch and completely fictional. We are working with XCam from Silola to place the objects. Additional Objects to fit the scenery are made by ourselves, like range control towers, signs, shooting range fictional houses and wrecks. Map Status right now. UPDATED 03.06.2018 SatMap: 100% Layermask: 100% Heightmap: 100% Configs: 100% Object placement: 99,5% Additional content: 98% Screenshots: Training Camp Asteria, located at the very south of the map, vehicle parking and technical area Camp Asteria, troop barracks and military harbor in the background Camp Asteria, main gate Camp Asteria, Helipads Radiostation to the north-east of Asteria East coast tank ring road East coast of hebontes Hand grenade Ranges A & B Anti-tank training range I will keep you posted in this thread, Horridoh, Hunger We've spent closed to four months of work every day to create this island.

Hey guys, a community is recently having problems in terms of loading my terrain (HEBONTES) up on a linux server. This is the server message:: Thank you guys for ANY ideas to find a solution. Lg Hunger

Thank you all guys for using Hebontes!

NICE!

@foxhound Why exactly is the Map downloadable at armaholic? Sorry but what exactly was unclear here?

Thank you very much! But let me say: Usually in simple training barracks, there are no hangars or garages for tanks and such. The vehicles usually stay outside in the technical area. But I'll check it and maybe I'll add something like that in a third training camp later

Hey Flinty, they will be included in the hebontes_assets.pbo at first (they are already), maybe later this year. Hey Damian, could you explain motorpool further? There is a pretty large technical area for tanks and vehicles already, what exactly do you mean? EDIT::: Maybe a version without the CSAT hex camo is coming later

Thank you guys! 1.1 is on its way, mp compatible, radio controlled popuptargets inclusive 8)
