  • Map is WIP (early stage)

  • 30X30 Km Terrain, based on a real archipelago.

  • Navmesh still not done (AI wont work properly)

  • Main islands are still missing all the features and environments + buildings

  • Expect VERY LONG loading times when using it offline, might take up to 5 min to load

  • This map is just a test but will be finished

I think this is perfect for air battles idk i will use it for amphibious ops or stuff like that maybe with a main ship and then running operations like vbss etc, i will add offshore rigs and ships.

Looking great so far! Would love to see a bunch of POIs for Milsim use.

#

Yes there are already a lot, will post updated

holy cow dude, that map size is bananas. whats the performance gonna be like for console players?

patent jasper
#

i have tested it with 25k view distance on xbox it seems to work, loading times are the real problem like 10 mins on console, but once youre in its smooth lol

#

and yes you have to try it hahahah it is huge and flying is very fun, if you dont use 25k view distance navigating is very hard and have to rely on instruments

#

also i noticed loading times are a problem only for admins or game masters, if you spawn normally its for sure faster

patent jasper
#

Just tested it, if loaded on a server loading times are much better/normal

sweet kestrel
#

Just to let you know, for some reason download speeds of the mod/map is super slow. Tested other mods and no issue just this specific map. 56KB/s

sweet kestrel
#

Manage to load in though. Excited to see how this map progresses

Map is basic terrain plus vanilla

Looked great! On my milsim we still play on Everon X Arland because it offers a lot of different terrain and POIs. Would be great to see the same idea but on a different scale and even cooler POIs.

Maybe bringing the islands a bit closer together. Connecting some of them by bridges. Making the big one slightly bigger. Idk, it seems like you are on track to make something really dope.

I’ll ask and see what they say! Also thanks for the advice, I see your vision, I think bridges will be kind of hard, but maybe connecting the central archipelago is doable,thing is this map has real scale so connecting one island to an other means creating a 10km bridge lol

#

To be honest I’ve never seen a published map this big and also this is kind of the engine limit (even though toh Seattle is bigger) therefore I was expecting these issues. But I would like to fix them

I agree, but this engine is next level and just imagine what can come out of this

#

My map is just a test, I want the community to build huge maps (I like helos)

#

Has anyone been able to play this? Just freezes when I enter the game

sweet kestrel
#

Yeah, but you have to load it onto a server first. Does not work in SP. Similar to zimnitra

glacial ivy
#

Worked for me in SP just took awhile to load

patent jasper
#

I updated it already a couple times tweaked a few settings, today I’ll add airport south

#

Also any advice on environments and pois is always appreciated, just take into consideration the scale and the kind of level of detail I want to achieve

#

Also remember navmesh is not built yet as I will build it when the terrain is finished to avoid bugs, same for sound map so you might not hear the “shore sound” but all the rest works well

2 km runway

#

60meters wide, like irl

#

Would be cool to have some smaller airstrips on some of the other islands along the coast. Smaller than this ofc haha

patent jasper
#

yes ill add more!

#

Is this the only 30x30 map?

brisk imp
#

Ive never heard of one similar in size, id assume so

patent jasper
#

yes i think this is the biggest out yet

#

I'm loving the idea of the map, hope to see a little more land around.
Can't wait for it to be finished.

patent jasper
#

Thanks ! I will update it this week adding some details to the islands and I think I will create some artificial islands too around the main archipelago

Is nav mesh done yet?
