Minsky Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Made this for another project, thought others might find it useful. What we currently have: - 26 named aerodromes and FOBs across the map; - 26 unmarked grass/dirt airstrips on Falklands; What's missing (compared to the real world -- NOT to Razbam's promises): - About eight unmarked airstrips and one helipad on Falklands; - About two "proper" paved aerodromes on mainland; - Dozens of unmarked airstrips and helipads on mainland (many of them are literally patches of dirt in the middle of nowhere).

YoYo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Ohhh wow, nice work, thx. I hope only - if Razbam terrain team will take somethng from the list they will work on performance and optimalization before (minimum 50% better) because this list will kill this map on low level flight at current stage .

Northstar98 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 A decent chunk of the grass strips on the islands themselves are there, with 3D objects, they're just unmarked on the map. The grass on said grass strips could do with some work though. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

This topic is not to criticize, but to give others a better understanding of scope and current state of the map. What are Razbam's plans for airfields though? We don't necessarily get everything on a given map. The Hormuz map is missing some major airfields, which I guess is fine if that was the intention all along, but it means that we can't necessarily tie progress to the percentage of airfields modeled. 18 hours ago, TAIPAN_ said: Nice, do you have anything like this for the other maps? Use map mode in the mission editor. It will reveals potentially many dozens of missing airfields depending on the map.

I'm fairly sure they've said that at least the paved airports will get done. They've already done a load of grass strips on the islands themselves (they just aren't marked on the map). 11 hours ago, Exorcet said: The Hormuz map is missing some major airfields, which I guess is fine if that was the intention all along, but it means that we can't necessarily tie progress to the percentage of airfields modeled.

Northstar98 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) To add to the OP, here are the list of aerodromes on islands themselves. Apart from Port Stanley, RAF Mount Leastant and San Carlos FOB, they're all grass/dirt strips, which look to have no/next to no services. Key: Green: Fully/nearly completed with 3D objects (though bear in mind that some do have inaccuracies, all of the grass strips need the grass tweaked as well as being marked on the map). Orange: mostly complete, but a fair bit missing. Red: only a satellite texture (usually you can see the white runway edge markings) or otherwise unusable. Bold: Airports/airbases with paved runways I'll be including the camera position, if you want to use it, copy the camera position and press whatever you've got set as you "Load camera position from clipboard" bind (default is RAlt + RCtrl + .)

In most cases they're marked with small white rocks, but said rocks disappear at <1 km away and given the textures and in some cases, lack of vegetation, some of them are incredibly difficult to spot. To summarise 26/38, aerodomes (~68%) on the islands are present in a usable state, with the remainder either not present at all or not usable.

Baco Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 So Pto. Natales was not announced and we are missing Santa Cruz as per announced. "New - Added Airfield Aeropuerto de Santa Cruz New - Added Airfield Aeropuerto Guardiamarina Zanartu(Puerto Williams) New - Added Aerodromo Guardiamarina Zanartu (Puerto Williams) New - El Calafate" Cool grate variety so far... Personally hoping Santa Cruz, Luis Piedra Buena and O´higgins are next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
