Thank you for taking the time to create and share your mission.
I find applying land nav techniques in ArmA2 great fun and have spent hours (hundreds, truth be told) exploring Chernarus with nothing but a map and compass after randomly spawning a character on the map.
Hopefully will stand me in good stead if I ever manage to log on to a DayZ server!
Some observations and tips follow which I hope may be of help to others:
Pace Count Walking (count 1 pace each time right foot touches the ground) = 62paces per 100meters ~ 1.6meters per pace.
Travel Times and Distances in Seconds and Meters(sec, m) - Based on measured values of 60sec per 100m walking, and 90sec per 500m jogging.
Walking Time Required(sec) = Desired Travel Distance(m) x 0.6
Walked Distance(m) = Travel Time(sec) / 0.6
Jogging Time Required(sec) = Desired Travel Distance(m) x 0.18
Jogged Distance(m) = Travel Time(sec) / 0.18
I recommend not jogging for more than 500m (90sec) at a stretch as fatigue sets in quite quickly thereafter, reducing your speed and the accuracy of the above calculations.
Take a knee, check your six and catch your breath!
Map Plus V1.01 - Arma 2 addon by NouberNou. Provides compass rose (degrees and mils), scalable ruler, map symbols, and line drawing tool for use on Arma 2 maps.
Makes maps easier to read by removing "satellite" textures, lightening vegetation shading, and highlighting countour lines and elevation numbers.
I trust the above may be useful to others.
Keep up the good work!
