  1. Has the mask been done for the airfield area?


    Satellite texture and mask has been done to the whole PMC Poland Lask terrain.


    the satmap runway atm is approx 60m wide.Wonder if there is some info available on that runway for the width?


    Haven't searched online but besides just measuring the width from satellite texture, there might be some info available, although that is quite specific info to look for.


    I cam make up a runway objects set for PMC_data.pbo.i can aswell, add in the correct lighting additions for the airfield to the pmc_data config.Just config entries.


    If i spent the time making a composition for it i wanna be able to play on the merged version of the wrp straight away.The next update might not come for a long time.


    Any help would be appreciated. pboProject binarizing either small data pbo or even the whole terrain wont take that long, also making a new release is rather quick, however because its gigabytes in size I would not want to make a new release just few config like changes. But maybe I could touch up the openstreetmap natural (forest tree lines) shapefile coverage and generate new objects maybe, something like that.


    You gonna give it a go? Some WIP screenshots would be cool.


    Runway objects, lighting (assuming you mean runway lights?) objects, in a composition, yeah that sounds good to me.


  2. As I just posted on official PMC Tactical Forum Poland Lask topic:


    Four advanced F-35 Lightning II aircraft from the U.S. Air Force's 48th Fighter Wing, stationed at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, U.K., have commenced operations at Lask Air Base in Poland as of April 1, 2024.


    According to a press release from U.S. Air Forces In Europe – U.S. Air Forces Africa, this deployment signifies the United States' ongoing commitment to bolstering NATO's Eastern Flank defense. -source "Pentagon deploys F-35 to NATO's Eastern flank" defence-blog.

  3. I don't know what "Utapoa terrain" is.

     

    Do you have any recommendations for good CUP mission editor compositions to build air base object set?

     

    If you would be interested putting together mission editor composition (only a3/ or CUP objects), guess its just an regular mission.sqm and send it to me, I could try to see how the tool pipeline works to get it imported into WRP terrain file and then in the next release.

     


  4. Its difficult to define smooth, but biggest PMC terrain of course is PMC Mongolia (409km) which by combined overall whole is the largest ever ofp/arma terrain.


    Take a moment to browse the catalog in PMC Terrains ArmA 3 page, sizes are not listed in that root page so you have to scourge through them to see specifications.


    But from top of my head some large terrains with a lot of objects, large satellite texture/mask and good performance, ie kind of the ones I like or are very fond of are: PMC Egypt Suez, PMC Somalia Bosaso, PMC Poland Suwalki, PMC Libya Benghazi, PMC Iran Jahrom, PMC Iran Hormuz and PMC Germany Wolfsburg. That is quite a list to check out if you're interested on large/huge terrains (combined overall value), then there are bunch of large european rolling hills woodland terrains that I love, but some of those are as small as 40km (ie not large), for example some of the new poland terrains are just so sweet with enoch/livonia vegetation objects.


  5. any chance to make real location map images with L3DT? The "ultimate" PMC tutorial is so good and got it fully completed. But now I want to start making a map that represent some real region.


    PMC Editing Wiki: Real World Data Terrain Tutorial is the natural progression from PMC Editing Wiki: ArmA 3 Ultimate Terrain Tutorial.


    I have tried other option (QGIS) and I cannot complete the tutorials for them, I need really noob friendly app like L3DT

    If you need more help in ArmA 3 editing head over to PMC Tactical Forum where you find all the history of addon and mission/campaign editing etc discussion.
