Hello All, Detailed Global Mapping (DGM) Project is an idea I came with by analyzing the possibility of using Google Earth software to make detailed ArmA tactical maps once the ArmA mapping tools are available or SnakeMan release an ArmA version of WRP-Tool. Google Earth is an available technology that can help us develop tactical maps to detail since; 1. It has a ruler in different measurements 2. It has photos and information on the different places 3. It has elevation information 4. It has, in some occasions, 3D buildings. JUST IMAGINE THE POSIBILITIES IF ALL MAP MAKERS (Gaia, SnakeMan, Q, PhilCommando, CJE, Remo, Narpal, ag_smith, FDF Mod, etc…) , and others who wants to help, get together and start building these maps in cells (cells=square area on Goggle Earth satellite map). Everyone who wants to help can be given a cell to build and an expert map editor, like Gaia, can put them together once the cells are finished. For example we can have different programs within this project.  One program can be Kabul-Afghanistan, another Bagdad-Iraq, another a town in Darfur, and another Mogadishu-Somalia. The program leaders will be the people in charge of that project (someone with a lot of experience making maps like the above mentioned), and anyone who wants to help can be given an assign cell by that program leader. Once a cell is finished using Goggle Earth satellite map the cell is given to the program leader to put it together with the other cells. Another program leader can be in charge of making buildings for the different programs (like PhilCommando he is good making buildings) by request of the map making program leaders and this person can be helped by volunteers. IF WE ALL WORK TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THE DETAILED GLOBAL MAPPING PROJECT A REALITY. Just to show you what I am talking about The picture above depicts Bagdad International Airport. Enclosed in a squared is the area use by the US. Photo: Goggle Earth The picture above is a zoom-in of the enclosed squared area. You can notice the choppers and planes. Photo: Goggle Earth The picture above shows a ZOOM-IN of an area where a C17 Glove Master, a C130, and two UH60s are parked. Photo: Goggle Earth Kabul-Afghanistan Airport Main Terminal. Notice how Google Earth can show 3D buildings that we can use as models to make our own buildings. Also it has photos of the building too. Photo: Goggle Earth Downtown Kabul-Afghanistan with 3D buildings. Notice the mountains elevations around the city. Photo: Goggle Earth Darfur small village. Notice the burned houses in that village. Photo: Goggle Earth As you can see THE DETAILED GLOBAL MAPPING PROJECT can be done. The technology is there. We just have to put our personal egos and thirst of glory to the side and work as a community, a team, to make this happened. IT IS POSIBLE. THIS IS AN IDEA AND I CAN HELP MAKING CELLS, AND YOU. note: I do not want any leadership position. The best and most experience should be the leaders in the different programs. THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. Edit1: Maps made this way can be branded === DGM Project ===. Edit2: It is to use Goggle Earth satelite maps as a REFERENCE to make the ArmA tactical maps not to use them to make them.

ArmA new transparent water and swimming open new possibilities in the creation of naval warfare. Here are a few examples. Photos of PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii. Battleship. I know this is not Silent Hunter 4. Â AG Cruisers and Nuclear Submarines. Tomahawks or nuclear bombs anyone... Old WWII submarine. That is a museum people. A repair dock. They are repairing a nuclear submarine. I wonder why? F18s anyone for your Aircraft Carrier. Sorry that I could not find any photos of an Aircraft Carrier.

If wireless power is now possible http://rawstory.com/news....07.html Everything is possible. There is technology to convert real objects in computer 3D images already, like an object scanner. It won’t be long until someone finds the way to scan an entire city to put it as a 3D image in a computer.

Found these in Goggle Earth last night. Chechen country Mi24 or Mi17. Have you ever seen an airport exclusively for choppers? This is one of them at Fort Bragg. They have all of them. Pope AF Base A10s. I think the best ArmA addon is the A10. By the way the Arma A10 sounds like a real one, except from the distance. Russian Nuclear Submarine Base. They still have the power. JFKSWC, Fort Bragg. I tried to find the Delta Force installation but could not find it. Got lost in the woods. And the prettiest for the last. You know that one right? Hope you enjoyed them and feel free to add your own.

@fasad I like ArmA for the realism. For some people like you it may be boring but not for me and I know a lot of people who likes ArmA for that reason too. To recreate a real world location on a tactical map THAT IS REALISM not DREAMING like @NoRailgunner point it out. That it may be very hard and a challenge to do, YES.

...

I have done maps before. When someone work as a team he/she needs to place their personal egos and thirst of glory on the side. Yes there will be some people who will be better than others but nobody is perfect. Example: SJB = excellent weapons, RHS = excellent Tanks and INF, FDF = excellent Maps and vehicles, BAS = excellent choppers and set the standard (at least in the beginning). All of them are important as all of them members of a team. The important thing is to use people in the places where they exceed the standards. By the way I am asking you for MOGADISHU because that has been your Black Hawk Down theme since the beginning. Â Not because I want it. ANIWAY IT WILL BE NICE TO FIND SOME REAL LIFE LOCATION IN ArmA TO PLAY WITH.

...

Creativity is the key. Yes Falluja looks find as well as MOGADISHU. If your project load is full get more people. That is what I have been saying since the begining to get people to do something like this.

...

Ok, lets start this rolling... DeadMeat why BAS does not start by leading by the example, that you have always done, and start creating a Mogadishu map DGM compatible, instead of bitching about it. After all most of your work was inspired by the movie Black Hawk down to make all those outstanding addons in OFP. It won’t be a challenge for you guys and I don't think it will be hard for you guys to find volunteers to help you. You never had that problem as far as I know, everybody wants to be a BAS member. Forget about bringing BAS Tonal Island to ArmA. YOUR FANS ACLAIM FOR A REALISTIC MOGADISHU. This is a challenge that I think BAS can take.

...

@DeadMeatXM2 Well, Diego Garcia runway is limited by space, it is a small Isle, so it will be logical to place the tankers near the JP containers. There is also an enbiromental isue there.

...

@DeadMeatXM2 Yes you are right they are tankers and like I said before they are close to JP containers. Yes they are B2 hangars
