H60MTI Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Anyone else notice that, at least in M.E., Maz is just a Google Earth cut and paste and only in the SAT option of M.E.? ED hasn't gotten to the northern parts of Afghan yet? Former SSG US Army UH-60A/L/M Crewchief "2 To Fly!"
EricJ Posted August 17 Posted August 17 They've only done two areas, the South (off the top of my head, I think that's the portion) and East portions of the map. I bought the "whole thing" for the future so I wouldn't spend more money than I had to on it. I mean all I care about is the East anyway, but I'd like to fly around the place virtually at least. 1 Homepage | Discord | Linktree | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

H60MTI Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago I bought the whole thing too for the same reason you did. Don't want to spend the money on different portions of my old stomping grounds Lol I've mostly hung around the east in game as well since I'm personally familiar with that area, Salerno, Bagram, Kabul, J-Bad, etc...There's no time frame for other parts of Afghan by chance, is there?

I've been to Bagram, J-Bad (just passing through, not stationed there), but was at FOB Blessing for my rotation in the east.

H60MTI Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Don't think I ever made it to Blessing. I did Salerno and Bagram. Didn't like Bagram Lol I did hit a bunch of different FOBs on that Bagram rotation, most of which I don't remember. Former SSG US Army UH-60A/L/M Crewchief "2 To Fly!"
EricJ Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Yeah I was a Company Fire Support NCO for my Light Infantry Company, so I was more static. I thought Bagram was okay. I guess if you're a real POS you would have an issue with the jets taking off, but when you realize that they're possibly going to blow up somebody, you just deal with it. Anyway I went through there for the initial deployment, then went to Blessing through Jbad and so on, and for leave too. Other than that just the mountains and Pech River Valley and such.

H60MTI Posted 5 hours ago Author Posted 5 hours ago The zoomies taking off did get annoying, don't get me wrong, especially when you were trying to sleep, but loved watching them take off from a front row seat. I was a UH-60 crew chief and saw them take off all the time whenever we were on the flight line. Great sight seeing F-16s and A-10s take off. Night time was even better when the Vipers would have the burners on, pretty...The C-RAM about 100m from housing woke us up more than the jets Lol Former SSG US Army UH-60A/L/M Crewchief "2 To Fly!"
EricJ Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Never had that problem and I assumed they were F-15Es, but whatever, they really didn't bother me too much, I'm a heavy sleeper so if they were roaring in the night I was knocked out most of the time. Then again I wasn't there long anyway, since it was just coming in and out for heading back to the FOB and stuff. Just a transient.

ED hasn't gotten to the northern parts of Afghan yet? I just noticed that this morning looking for a base for BadGuys(tm) while I fly out of Bagram. Saw the textures on the map, flew over and it's photo textures all over in that area, put a scout helo on the airbase and only had to climb fifty feet to see through all the grass to the underlying image, but the whole area is Kansas flat so I have to assume there's some elevation tweaking to be done as well. It's like that all around that canyon, so my assumption is that's part of the north map, which is the one I'm waiting for anyway. In the mean time the Blue guys and Red guys are working up plans for the Red assets up there. I'm sure all that will need tweaked if that is indeed part of the north map, but it also gives the red force an airbase, so win all around.
