Mostly what u said: Lil' bit Water around lots of Sand around Huge Mountain Areas. Only a Texture and a small area with clutter, trees and Buildings. At least, this island still had lots of names between "piccolino" and "epic". I try to get a feeling for the Size/Detail/performance ratio making islands. Its more work in its "academic" state, to touch/see the limits and abilities of the Engine and the existing tools. The results should lead me to the decision to start a serious project, or not. Theoretically i should'nt have reached the limit in size. Did I? Maybe the Limits of Memory or 32bit? The 1023 should tell us something. But i don't know where the engine uses 1024-1 in that state. Just to repeat it for those read that: - without placing an object, everything is fine. - placing an object outside that unknown 1023x1023 results in that error And, thx 4 your care, but don't wanna spend the rest of my days with clicking tiny geometries into the endless nothing^^. I guess as soon u place a single Building (within that misty 1023?x1023 Range) on such a map, u'll realize quickly that you shouldn't even think about filling that map with ojects. Its epic. but thx allthrough, u kept that Quest up - and i knew that sooner or later someone will warn me about that issue in this thread ... got my feets on the ground too;) fREAk

Uuuuhhhm, ... reworked the Terrain to a Terrain cell Size of (4096x4096) 25m, (~102kmx102km) Satellite Segmnent: 24 Satellite Grid: 48 Base Texture Layer: 50mx50m. well, again in Bulldozer i again get a textured Landscape, but as soon i place a Building or something else, i get this error. Question #1: Anyone got some tipps? i've tried various settings but without result Question #2: why do i get 086x086 texture segments (data/layers/*.png) with a satellite Grid of 48? <- General misunderstanding. thx in advance fREAk

@octane .... Noob Question: Im registered, how can i vote? I'd like to vote this Request 1.000.000 times, cause a working I/O would be the key to many many Features for the Comm. Thinking about things like Career mode, Qualifikations, User-Tracker, ArmA2TS3 improvements, WebViewers, aso. Indeed its a key feature to get ArmA2 to where it belongs: a top title for a wide Community. Appeal: BIS! Dont sleep. The whole AmericasArmy community is breaking down, and many of them are looking for a new game to play. But they all prefer BF2BC, cause they want career modes. You even haven't to develop it by your self, there are lots of people willing to do that for you. All we need is this I/O. You can get a Piece of that (large) cake - if you want. Its a Win-Win.

Yay, i know .... but i was too curious ;) .... We tried it yesterday on a WarfareBE@Chernarus session and even my more sceptic mates where enthusiastic after this test. Its a milestone in tactial gaming - 5.1 or not. Thx again ... and again .. and again ... and at least again :)

Whow-Factor: 10/10 Innovation-Factor: 10/10 You are my Hero! I was waiting for such an an Addon for over 5 Years now!!! We played competitions as a team in different TS-Channels the last view years, but you brought the new Dimension into Gaming we waitet for so long. Thanks a lot from our whole team. Great Job!! fREAk :bounce3::bounce3: PS.: in v004 the 3d effects with an Medusa 5.1 Headset and the x-Fi soundcard doesnt workin properly. (Speakers are alway driven 100% and not mixed, so a kind of "snapping surround" occours if you turn around a soundsource)

@IceBreakr: Thx 4 the tipp. I'll check it out. But first i got to get rid of that "Error Land Grid Reference exceeded range .." Message when placing Objects. My actual try is the Same settings with an 80x80 Texture Size. That gives me a satellite Grid of 48, and a "Game Grid" (cant see the correct name, import is running) of 24. as i see so far, the results are 000-000 to 080-080 (81x81) 512 px. Grids ... Hmm? ... But: I'll never surrender ;)

Satellite Segment size in Pixels (512px) must be minimum two times smaller than which size in which unit? Sorry still confused. especially about the Fact, that the Import produced 000-000 to 068-068 Tiles (69x69). settet where 60.

Can anyone please be so kind to write a understandable UAV Manual? Yes, i searched the Forums, but no one seems to be able to think more far than his own nosetip. Why please, you all talking bout Q/Y W/A and tab and all that - your very own - or even Standard keybinds? 50% of all dont play with standard binds. So please just tell me (us) what are the COMMANDS to change Altitude or Speed, NOT YOUR OWN BINDS!!!!!!!!! I try to play that game since its (german) release, and everytime i try i'm getting frustratet more and more. Don't wanna dizz here, and i'm for sure a very patient person with all the will to explore something unknown, but understand me if it's getting too much after:a:) no manual. b:) a pilot who can't stfu ("Target that "whatever-bull'#%& ... no target" over 30 minutes in a queue) ans c:) a UAV smoothly steering into the ground after a while is too much. Even the idea to make the camera "absolute" and not relative to the UAVs motion is so phantasically stupid and unrealistic that i can't stop wondering about people figuring out something. Sorry to say that. So please: Write down a READABLE manual for that useless pile of crap flying over krasnostv ( .. or krasno-however). You can't make things unhappend, but you still have the chance to compensate dramatic negative feedback. Big sorry, i've never ever had to write a feedback like that to any product. For sure, i know ArmA2 is a very very, or even the most - ambitious projects of a whole industry ever. Your Base-costomers are mostly Sim-Freaks, like i am. Even accepting the logigal challenge, creating a Sim like ArmA2 under the conditions of the free market economy is an act of real personal courage. Noone can Pay that BloodSweatAndTears you gave. Paying tribute to BI, buying a dvd and approving ArmA2 to his friends is the most u can expect from a custumer, make the last thing not hard for them. best regards me
