Hmmm... I think it's better if it is something like: "terre_mco.paa"

Good aerial photos of varied terrain

It's quite complicated to get the terrain match the sat overlay. Basically I take a coordinate. I find the coordinates wich provide a 10 km x 10 km (or more, but the sides of the maps must be equals ! map using this simple website: http://www.lexilogos.com/calcul_distances.htm  (It calcul the distance beetwen two point using coordinates).  Then I use GMID using my new coordinates.  And finally I use this website http://seamless.usgs.gov/  and the sames coordinates. It's not 100% efficient but it save a lot of time.  Finally I use photoshop to have a quasi perfect match. -
Well... For the moment, i'm in the testing phase. So it's a really small map of 10x10 km. Because it's in High Moutain there is no roads, just a very small village of sheep keepers and you will have to go to the top of the moutain with your feet because of the altitude (choppers can't go so high). But when I will have all my sat textures downloaded (It take a very long time ! the map will probably be 100x100 km or a bit less... Let say 60x60 km to be reallistic.

I'm also using GMID in order to export my sat maps from Google Earth but I've got a problem with this software. It's very difficult to extract big ( HUDGE) images because of the ban witch always stop my downloads... What is your config (sleep time, number of downloads...) ? -
I increase a lot the resolution of the sat map and now had a 80 mo .Pbo ! Â Â But the result is wonderfull !

How do you export this sat maps from Google Earth ? -
You just have to select the option TEXT (and not binary) when you import your sat and mask !
-
How to fit your .dem (turned into grayscale) with your sat and map mask. My problem is that I have all the datas: Google sat imagery, and .dem of a same place but dont have the slightest idea of how to compile them !

An Alternate Method to Creating Height Maps
VladAlex replied to Nicholas Bell's topic in ARMA : MAP EDITING (VISITOR)
Maybe I'm not very smart but I cant understand How to do this with photoshop. It will be very interesting to explain your method step by step ! -
Beautifull building Simba !

I totally agree with you. It's a very fine idea ! I will help you if you want.

Any news on the english translation of the tutorial from Alex.Sworn ??
-
Those tools are really amazing ! But we need a proper documentation to use them correctly ! Especially Visitor 3 wich seems to be very complex and have a lot of news options.
-
Ok, great job. But you need to update AND to restart Oxygen...
-
It's become a nightmare. For the moment I think there are no easy solution to fix it. We must wait a patch... After that I sincerely doubt about the "beta testing phase" ! I dont know what happend in Bohemia Interactive Studio right now, but it seems to be a little bit chaotic !
-
So no hope to make a map before some guys succeed in making a clear and (BIG) tutorial...
-
To sad that it's in german. We need a translation now. I think things are going to be very hard before we had a proper documentation !
-
I doubt that Bis will release landbuilder for normal customers.

Could you explain what is extrude ? Could you also make a tutorial "How to make your first crate for Arma ?" Popka ?
