Isle of Arran

Description
The Isle of Arran

The Isle of Arran (/ˈærən/; Scots: Isle o Arran; Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Arainn) or simply Arran is an island off the west coast of Scotland. It is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and the seventh-largest Scottish island, at 432 square kilometres (167 sq mi)

EARLY ACCESS - Please don't judge me!

Please please only download this if you are mad enough to play with unfinished content. I am only uploading as it's been sitting on my drive for some time, and if there is a flood of interest, it may spur me on to get started. Currently, the island is covered in grass, and not much else. I am testing heightmap data, and satellite data in between work and real life. I don't expect this will ever get completed and may be an Arma4 terrain. This project started off as a tribute to the one and only Bushlurker, who got me into terrain making many years ago. RIP.

The only positive is that it's sorta fun to fly about (I guess?) and land at the airport, use your imagination when looking at what it "could" become!

If you fancy taking this project of my hands, please let me know and I can share with you the source files. That goes out to other mod teams as well.

Any chance of sharing your knowledge of terrain making and the files for this map??? I live a ferry trip away from this island and work as a fisherman around the island, i have the MULL OF KINTYRE map and the ISLES OF CUMBRAE map all my local areas. I have some experience of making maps and tracks but for ASSETTO CORSA and just so happens the ISLE OF ARRAN is a map ive started, so i understand how much of effort goes into making maps. The track i made is on RACEDEPARTMENT/OVERTAKE GG. The map is massive just on ASSETTO CORSA the outer road loop is 120km takes 40 minutes to drive. If you are still active id love to hear from you.

It's a pity that inspiration has left you... It could have turned out to be a great location. But I understand this is a very difficult job - mapping, it is always easier to work in a team and with like-minded people. Memory and tribute to the Bushlunker! Thank you for what you have, for your work.

Still waiting for your response to HidenSquidge's question below....

I see that you are working on moving this over to arma reforger, will you finish the map for arma 3 for the moment as well or just abandon it for arma 3? As the vast majority of arma players are not moving to reforger as it is a stop gap between 3 and 4

Arma Reforger just got released, perfect timing! Will be experimenting with the tools and move the terrain over, as from what I can see, the tools/workflow looks 100x better.

Scotland is an excellent fit for the engine and assets, with the sparse urban areas and varied terrain. It could also double as a location for the Baltic.There's aren't a lot of realistic temperate climate islands in the workshop. So you can definitely count on interest. Do you need help with object placement?

I updated the sat and heightmap, let me know what you think!

Thanks for the comments! There's a lot going for it, so I am motivated. I might spend the next week tidying it up a bit, currently redoing the heightmap for greater detail.
