lo-mac map; reality vs Fiction. Compare on this.

[pappavis]

I have always wondred how accurate the lo-mac map is, in relation to the real world. Since i am unable to go anywhere near the kaukasus or Krim there is no way to tell. Or is it?

 

The site http://www.map24.nl is excellent, all of the crimea is available as well as the kaukasus and to the sout in Turkey as well. Its truly great to see the level of detail incorporated into lo-mac :) :).

 

On the website http://www.map24.nl one can enter a town name "Saky" then select the country Ukraine from the list. Tadaaaaa.. one gets Saki in the krim on your screen, with bridges, roads upto streetlevel!

 

Thanks ED for giving us a reliable gaming environment.

Some maps here.....

 

Caucasus

Crimea

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/ukraine.html

 

Warning these are serious (ie big D/L's) maps.

 

If you want to see how close to real life some of the things in Lockon are, then D/L my Crimea Tour - rework of Shepski's tour. I included a Word .DOC with some background info and some real-life pics of the sights on the tour.

Caucasus tour also, but that is more about fat juicy targets to trash, whereas Crimea Tour is more about historical monuments....

Get the Tours here, they are currently LomacFiles feature D/L's ( http://www.lomacfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads )
