Scottish Highlands 1.0 is now available! See bottom of this post for the link to the Steam workshop. Scottish Highlands takes you to North-West Scotland, focusing on the hills and valleys around Loch Eil, only a few miles from the Largest mountain in Scotland, Ben Nevis. This area has an interesting mix of topography. Coastal areas are flat and broken up by villages, tall hedgerows and fields, whilst the less populated inland is mainly large valleys and hills with tight twisting roads, intertwined by dense forests. Roadmap: Full release Scottish Highlands is now at a point where I'm happy to call it a full release. I will still be making small changes here and there, making improvements to the satmap and maybe adding or tweaking a few areas, but as the map stands it is in a fully playable state.

ព្រៃខ្មោចលង | Prei Khmaoch Luong A small, dense jungle province of Cambodia. The terrain is designed exclusively for LRRP, infantry combat, UH insertions and LOH. 1960-79 were years of conflict. Viet-Nam war, incursions and presidential lies, a Khmer Rouge regime ended by the Vietnamese forces and the Golden Triangle drug trade network have all left their mark. This is the first terrain to be released to the public of the Cambodian Playground Project. The terrain is a work in progress. It has taken a year to get this far and it will probably take six more months before it is completed and fully featured. Features: 8x8km custom objects custom textures massive entrenchments and fortified hilltops brown rivers custom native buildings/stilted huts several villages and plantationsTechnical: This map is intended for close combat in a dense jungle environment and thus requires you to configure your settings accordingly. 1000m object and 2km view range is enough. Anybody with a reasonable computer and correct settings will get good fps with this terrain. That being said, this is a map with 2017 release and is benched for 2016 computers, the visual detail level is made to be enjoyed on large resolution monitors and larger render resolutions. Known issues: Any bugs, things not working and weird object placement is due to area with them not being finished. There are many such. No need to report. If you find an issue, I know about it already. There are thousands ;) AI drivers will ignore the bridges more often than not, ai some times ignore houses. Will be fixed later. Fixes will be done randomly without announcement. Major updates happen monthly or slower. I only answer contact through my youtube channel or BI forums if I don't personally know you. No random friend requests please. It has been a year since I started this project now, beginning with PKL (minus two weeks or so) and almost six months since last public update. A LOT has changed since then. Ideas from people who use it has come in. I've watched as many videos as I could find or get sent to me and I've done a vast amount of research and experiments. All or some of this has led to the following changes. (actual changes are in the hundreds of thousands so you're going to have to explore to see.) All ruins have been removed. May return in a later version.. If you follow this thread you know already. All Tanoa rocks have been removed and replaced with another solution. All roads have been upgraded to make room for small and medium vehicles and enhanced with new textures and more shiny wetness. Almost all riverbeds have been upgraded and vegetation opened up to allow for more LOH oriented possibilites. Every single area and settlement has had some level of changes and improvements. More military locations in progress. ~200.000 vegetation objects and a similar number of rocks and cliffs have been removed or replaced to improve performance. The lower river area has rice farms started and will slowly have all available area converted into such. Massive rethink of the terrain to allow for vehicle based gameplay to the cost of less on foot detail. Several new areas opened up. AAA/artillery site added for OPFOR on western side. The following are my plans for PKL towards next major update: High detail rice. My buddy @Kimchi is going to Cambodia in the very near future and will help me create some detail photo studies of various rice. Finalized native buildings. New native buildings and pagoda. More hidden opfor installations. New vegetation models, in clusters for high performance to make the jungle more dense. Bamboo. Local Boats. (props and ones that work) Random Current stats: 910.000 objects where more than 700.000 of them were placed by hand. ~2000 people live in the area in approximately 600 simple homes. They probably dont' approve of what you are doing. There are 3 military police stations. Mud roads cover over 100km and there are 70km of foot paths and riverbeds in various sizes. You can fly single digit altitude between every major and most other locations in a littlebird. FINAL HOLIDAY UPDATE GALLERY All screens were taken with 8km view range and 2500m object distance, providing me 40-60 fps on my system. The holiday update is currently being tested and finalized and will be up on steam within hours of this post.

monument valley [WIP] Monument Valley - Old West Map
Igor Nikolaev posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
Monument Valley - Old West Map Description: Since my first attempt on creating a map wasn't successful, I've started working on a new, working one map for my Wild West sandbox - Old West. Monument Valley - namesake of a place in USA, Arizona and Utah. It's size is 2048x2048 m. It takes place in the mid 19th century, in a time of Wild West era. Geography: Terrain is mainly consists of desert. Other half of it is mountains and plateau. It will have little towns, farms, villages and also some of the Native American tribes when I'll finish working on a topo relief and flora. Plans: Finish making topographical relief Update new sat map to a high-quality one (very boring and not necessary) Map mask can be changed too, but is good already Add foliage Add buldings and other objects Release it Requirements: Apex DLC CUP Terrains - Core Mattaust Buildings Pack Maybe something more in the future Snapshots:- 20 replies

Hi guys! Like last year around this time I announced my jungle, PKL, this year is no different.. Some of you have followed my experiments the last few years in creating some terrains from my homelands without being able to make publishable results. My goal is to recreate the environment I see if I go 1 hour east of my hometown into the mountains. I have finally found some suitable map frame specs and a location that is interesting and unique enough to make it worth my time and effort completing. That in addition to the multitude of problems with seriously aging game engine technology and Arma specific limitations in RV has me finally landing on the following: This is VIDDA: 12x12km with 3m cel size (terrain detail) Norwegian mountain tundra in the summer. Altitude varies from 800-1200 meters. Almost the entire terrain is above tree limit altitude but some spread small forest areas are added to the lowest valleys for gameplay options.(subject to change as custom veg is decided upon) Midnight sun because above the polar circle. (Locals should approve :)) 1 Village with most facilities 1 Border crossing 1 military base with long runway More info: Though it has snow, this terrain is set in the summer. The area looks like this from october to march. If it was a winter terrain, roads would look like this. Even in the spring it can be a chore to keep roads open. Some times a LOT of the snow sticks around for the summer. You can go skiing all year round and when the sun is shining you can wear a tshirt and pick flowers next to the snow. If you are into that sort of thing. The terrain itself is imported from LIDAR scans but heavily altered proportionally to conform to Arma limitations and to maintain expected funcitonality, mainly regarding AI. It has been scaled down slightly in area and significantly vertically.. Nobody likes ai tanks driving down vertical cliffs 500m tall right? Or Howabout when AI choppers fly into a cliff for no reason? The snow on the terrain is of the kind that will stay all through the year and is practically ice in terms of interacting with it. Hit one of them with a vehicle and the vehicle will be affected more than the snow pile. This is authentic. 3m cel size allows for nice snow piles being formed and tactical possibilities with them are endless. Hulldown vehicles, hiding infantry, sneaking up on the enemy and the tactical possibilities with using terrain detail to your advantage are the same as on PKL. In the actual terrains, there are very few structures and only one road. It is from a national park area. For Arma fun reasons, I've added pretty much everything required on a terrain however. This being much easier to do than recreating a settled area. This means that every area that would be a big pond or a smal lake, have been transformed into settlements or other industrial are/mil installation. In my older Norway terrain attemps, Not having placeable water above sea level has been one of my biggest headaches as water is vital in an area defined by it. Small bodies of water are on the way however as the community has come up with some solutions to that. The terrain coordinates have been placed a few degrees further north to accentuate the arctic lighting. Currently working on rewriting lighting configs.. more on that later. The first public iteration of the terrain will be up on my workshop before spring. After that it will follow a cycle similar to PKL, as they alternate in priority. Gameplay wise you can expect pretty much the same as my second favourite map ever, Takistan but with mountain vegetation and snow patches instead of sand. With a similar feel and enough terrain detail to accurately recreate the actual terrain I grew up in.. It takes More than half an hour to drive the main road within speed limits from end to end and an AI in a hatchback does it in 15-18 minutes if his waypoint is set to fastest. Ai perfectly navigate via roads from end to end of the terrain with single waypoints. Technically the terrain is playable as it is currently, but I need to add a few layers of vegetation, rocks and other objects (as many custom as possible becuase native plants, geology etc) before a release to the public. All of the objects also need to be appended to terrain masks and imagery too. I will post pics and info updates in here as I go. For more up to date stuff, you can find me on twitter. Happy New Year! More coming shortly! Daytime. Midnight sun. View from one of the highest peaks. Midnight sun Outside terrain matches the mountains as much as possible to enhance jet gameplay. It sort of makes the terrain feel vast when you are at altitude. This done instead of coastline as coastline would remove at least 1/3 of the map frame due to procedural terrain and the look didn't work. There are enough islands out there with mountains. The north eastern part of the terrain by the old soviet border crossing has mostly flat tundra that can allow you to build airstrips or outside the map staging areas for larger scale ops. Enough area is left outside the border fence that improvised strips can be placed there aswell but still within a narrow strip of the mapframe (compatibility with ALiVE etc). In the videos below, there are 100s of ai and over 50 ai vehicles going about their day. 8km view range and 2.5km objects. MEDIA: My new years resolution, white lie, pinkypromise thing is to release this terrain to the public asap.

Introducing my first terrain: Ergon County [WIP] Ergon County ([WIP] name) is based off a fictional region in the Rocky mountains, Canada. It has dense forests and a few villages with surrounding military bases. The map also varies greatly in elevation seeing as it is created with inspiration of the rocky mountains. Dense forests with tall trees and various locations give it a feel of a county up in the north with a vast wilderness as well as scattered villages and military installations. Features: 4km X 4km terrain making it a small but detailed terrain Detailed villages / towns scattered around the map Several military installations Completely created with Buldozer Dense forests with beautifull snow themed trees and mountains Several open areas open for possibilites such as camps, or base building Almost all buildings are enterable Planned features: Airfields (2 or 3) where there will be a mix of military airfields and civillian airfields More custom areas with great detail added to them More towns and possibly a connecting river across the map Screenshots (Bare with me, I am not the best at taking pictures) Old Castle One of the towns One of the military installations Abandoned quarry The complete album:
