part of NEW map in BS revealed!

[JEFX]

According to a shot seen in GA's excellent new movie (Edge) at precisely 2'48'', one can see on the moving map in the Ka-50 cocpkit the following area of south-western Georgia (the map is inverted in the helicopter, showing north to the bottom):

And, still following what can be seen there, we can probably deduce on of the upcoming airbase, around 10 km west of Ozurgeti, as can be seen on this aerial view:

That is great news!

 

Thanks GA.

Didn't you also notice the big dam? ;)

[JEFX]

Hi GA,

 

Since you are here yourself, let me congratulate you in person for your fantastic movies!

 

Of course I noticed it already in a previous movie, but here we see it in daylight! On which river is it, is it near that airport?

[Glowing_Amraam]

Thanks, appreciate it. :)

 

Now, regarding where it is exactly, i cant quite say. Im not at home now, and this pc is slow as heck. :P

 

So i cant even check the maps..

[SwingKid]

It's the long-awaited Inguri dam :)

 

Google it, the images are nice

[Wdigman]

So the map in game is still the same size as FC but they added terrain to the SE through Georgia? Can any one speculate on how far south they developed the terrain?

 

That movie was better than the announcement everyone wanted the first of July. I know not everything may or may not be included but still. Incredible.

A map posted in Russian forum some time ago.

Found on this forum a while ago ;)

 

EDIT: Argh, TekaTeka beat me to it :D

[Vekkinho]

I see many airbases there for me to attack, land or crash into...;)

[Force_Feedback]

I will be plowing each of them with AFM flying machines.

 

How is the word on mission editor placable FARPs and 'unprepared' (steel mats; ie, Su-25's speciality) runways?

mission editor placable FARPs and 'unprepared' runways

 

Really, we can have it where we need it?!

[Force_Feedback]

Really, we can have it where we need it?!

 

I don't know, that's why I'm asking. Don't count on it though, I have a feeling they dropped that idea, the unpaved runways at least.

[brewber19]

Shame, unpaved runways would have been excellent fun for us Frog drivers to do some challenging 'finals' and stuff. Am looking forward to BS, am a chopper fan, so BS will be great for me, I can fly my Frog or my....er...Shark (was hoping to rhyme there but...doh!)

 

If the new ME comes off I have huge hopes for more interesting ground scenarios, like terrain denial, proper penetration strikes that would actually mean something, stuff like that.

[ALDEGA]

Didn't you also notice the big dam? ;)

The dam was also in one of your previous movies ;)

[Glowing_Amraam]

The dam was also in one of your previous movies ;)

 

I know that, but i never got the feeling that my other movie quite reached "the crowd". So i decided to include in once more, but from a different perspective. ;)

 

Besides, that "dam" isn't the only thing that i feature in my movie regarding new terrain.

Take this shot as an example.. ( it might be hard to tell, but really, when you actually fly around this area, you will really notice it's all brand new)

Both links won't work for me....

 

A page of http://intl.local.live.com/ appears instead

[SuperKungFu]

Can we blow up the dam?

[VMFA117_Poko]

Yeah, yeah! Can we? :joystick: - Guess not

 

Imagine wave and flood...

[Vekkinho]

IMHO, Inguri dam needs a better skin. From what I saw in Edge it looks like a sand dune...

Hi!

 

Both links won't work for me....

 

Strange...

They are fine here.

Try typing only http://maps.live.com/ in your browser and go manually to the black sea. Then, try and find the town of Kobuleti (on the coast of Georgia, half way between Batumi and Poti, then zoom in on the area of Kobuleti. About 6 miles north of Kobuleti there is a big meandering river that goes through Ozurgeti.

 

Make sure that your view is in 2D and in Hybrid mode then you will see the Airbase in one of the elbows of the river half way between the coast and Ozurgeti.

 

Or else, try in Google earth with coords:

N 41 55 48

E 41 52 00

 

I personnaly think that maps.live is better than google earth...
