These maps look great, I'd love to see them in game

Although they're fine as they are, it would be cool if you marked in areas of woodland in on the maps, it would make them x10 times more useful

It would be nice to have a map like the one FIST posted but PR maps are not that complex.

I was thinking that it would probably be best to do it on the map

its just more logical if anything.

we use ariel photographs with a grid overlay irl. so good effort but tbh the current editor minimaps are the most realistic.

not up to me though.

its good work anyway!

I was thinking the same thing duckhunt, after watching the new ross kemp episodes.

Dam, I'd just started on Fallujah.

Are these maps used at all by the armed forces?

[R-DEV]duckhunt · 02-06-2009, 03:48 AM

only for much larger areas, e.g 100km2. We have the tech now to get ariel phots of pretty much anywhere.

at least the PRT might have use for such maps, yo can more easily see the paths up to mountains etc on them.

[R-DEV]motherdear · 02-16-2009, 06:03 PM

even though the real army uses high rez aerial photos we can't make those and it would be more helpful with height information

Nononono!

As a map designer I enjoy making a good looking overhead map. I do not want it to be replaced by some silly looking lines. Perhap it is "realistic" but it will decrease the visualy quality of the game A LOT. Ask yourself, what is more nice to look at? Google Earth satellite Images or military height maps?
