Vinalhaven Islands, Maine USA, GameRealisticMap

Description
A 19456x19456 map of the Vinalhaven Isles off the coast of Maine. It looked like a neat place to try and make, so here goes. Much different than the usual mountains and deserts, it takes you to a series of islands in the American Northeast. Few bridges are handy, so air transport and/or boats are a must. I haven't modified it at all, it seems to be decent enough, and if FOBs or outposts are needed, there is ample space for mission makers. Enjoy, and feedback is always welcome!

I'm looking forward a lot to the improving of this map!

Very good ideas! It's giving me Ideas, who knows what we can make happen :)

I like this map. You're right: there's not a lot of maps of temperate wetlands in Arma.
But I'm going to complain that I would have trouble using this to make a mission. It is a very good virtual recreation of the real place. But for all the space, there are too few interesting places for dynamic (infantry) combat.

I will be lazy and use your (realistic!) forests as an example. For players walking first person, there are no landmarks, no 'objectives', only 1 ground texture, and no variation in tree density. They're just place to get lost in, and therefore completely ignored.

Similar is the spacious placement of buildings and roads. I'm not saying you need to place more stuff; this might ruin the great performance of this map. But think of ways to make each location unique. Think less model building, more theme park building.

Besides bitching, my favorite location is the house in [8887.75,16743.2,0], on North Haven, near center of the terrain. It's near a road, but blocked by foliage. It faces a clearing downhill, but can be reached by going a long way around through dense forests. This presents players with choices. Give people interesting choices, and they will get immersed in the environment.

Thank you for reading all that. I hope you have time to keep working on your Arma projects. Congratulations regardless!

@Phantom_20202 - So you know, ANY map created using this 'new map making' method will require this 'GameRealisticMap' mod - ALL OF THEM DO.

And its not that bad...about 225mb...very small for such a mod.

:)

It requires gamerealistic assets(i have posted a link now), that ahould fix it. I seem to have forgotten that! Apologies, it should be ok now.
