In another thread from a few days ago I posted a comparison of all the big ofp, cwa, arma maps I could find. I could not use ingame screenshots of every overview map since I only have the current alpha installed so I had to use what I could find online. I tried to use official looking images and was kinda lucky to find most of them even with scale bars. How accurate those scales are, I cannot say. Also I'm not entirely sure, if the grids that are used have a common scale. Is one sqaure always 1km² in every game? Some maps suggest so others don't. So I used an official looking mock travel map of Chernarus that has a grid. The image is cropped at the top a little bit I guess, but 5 squares line up to the 5km scale bars of the other images. And that's what I did, I resized the different images so that they use one identical 5km scale bar.

Weird, that link did not work for me. For once I can't read the text and in addition to that I can't seem to find those maps. :/ Anyway, I found a few offical looking Maps for the old islands and could not resist. I decided to create a comparison of the main island based on the most official stuff I could find. I prefered to use those little scale markers in the corner to match up the maps. http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3197/b333uo3s_jpg.htm Nogova does not get its own map, but I found a few maps that placed it's size in the same ballpark as that red map. That also gave me a good reason to use that map of Sahrani. There is another one out there which claims for the island to be a lot smaller, and that did not look right. Also Skira. Because I actually liked Dragon Rising, bite me:p

I would like to second this... I just redid my PC and finally came around to playing this game. I got the ArmA2 Black Edition and also bought the Expansion Pack OA. Got both as a DVD in a store. Now I installed both and in the lower right corner it either says 1.06.xxxx or 1.51.xxxxx depending on which game I start. Seeing as how the linked patches somewhat include my version numbers (1.00 to 1.08 and 1.50 to 1.55) and I can't find any other patches on the website I probably just have to download both patches, apply them and be done. But since this means downloading 450+ MB I'm kind of reluctant to just do that without any kind of confirmation. Maybe there is a smaller download somewhere or I just need one of both. So yeah just some kind of nodding me through would be cool, giving me the green light you know ;) thx in advance :)
