Well considering I had to learn the basic terrain making process for A3, it took some time initially to get a basic map working. Aside from that, it probably took about 2 weeks of working on my free time. That's just an estimate though

Hey Bob,

Is there a tutorial you used for the Sat Map or Mask images? Been toying around with a terrain in L3DT but unsure of how to create those. I imported the terrain from GIS but have screwed with it enough that it doesn't resemble the original heightmap at all.

I'm not really sure if there is an easy way. I just used the satellite image generated within L3DT and edited in photoshop to add forests and stuff to it.

If you watch a basic tutorial on how to generate a terrain within L3DT you could see how that works.

Maybe you could try to generate a texture map from the heightmap you imported and edited? Not really sure if that would really work, but I suppose it's worth a shot

Soooo....

What would it take to convince you to increase the size of this (see Chernarus, Napf, etc) add a few roads and get it feeling like the ft carson/ colorado springs area?

Cus this map is everything I've ever wanted minus an airfield

Maybe in the future. I do plan on revisiting this terrain type later on but I don't think I will redo this one entirely

While I have yet to playtest this current one, I like these rual-america-esque inspred maps for arma. It's not as much as a change of pace from the uncommon urban/city focused maps, but nice nonetheless.
