DieHard Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Why the Nevada Map Never has Come Out? Found this in my travels. If this incident is true, am wondering if DCS has info concerning USA military bases in the area. This post is almost a year old. Wonder what happened to the 2 guys? http://www.gameshampoo.com/magazine/articles/764/arma-developer-arrested-for-espionage-update.html I was at Gitmo, Cuba, the USA Navy base, in 1977. There were areas that were secure areas and no photos or entry was allowed, only if cleared. I never pushed my luck. Google Maps/Google Earth of Gitmo does not show the base as I remember it, but that was a few years ago and things do change, including what I think I remember correctly. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mmaruda Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 No point in trying to speculate on conspiracies here. Nevada has not come out, because we are waiting for EDGE. EDGE has not come out, because... potato. It's all in another thread somewhere. As for the Arma 3 devs, they were released on bail after the Greek justice system finished their strike.. Yes that is the country that went bankrupt due to overspending in the public sector and other EU countries still throw money at them to bail them out, though the average salary in Greece is twice the average of my country. And the justice system goes on strike... Anyway, the whole charge was most probably invented in order to put pressure on Bohemia Interactive not to set the game on a crap Island no one has ever heard of until they started making the game, beacuse that would impact the tourism business. Anyway, the name of the in-game island was changed to Altis and the devs were released on bail. Tourism on Lemnos is now safe because the island will no longer be associated with a game war-zone and we all know there is no better advertisement for a tourism resort than getting arrested on vacation and spending 6 months in jails because judges decided to go on strike.

smnwrx Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Not being able to to take pictures is pretty much the norm around most all military installations. At my particular AF base you have to clear any tours or photos on the flight line through public relations. It became common place for our crew cheifs and structures guys to snap cell phone pics of damage to get immediate feedback on weather a part needed to be removed/ordered, it was actually very efficient but a very big no-no so they nipped that in the butt. We have a designated "flight line" camera in our to tool crib. sorry for OT i remember when this was in chit-chat

zaelu Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Maybe, after EDGE is released, if redoing the Crimea/Kuban/Georgia map will be too huge undertaking for ED, we, the community, could form up a "task force" that will divide the work of placing thousands of roads, cities, villages, forests and ice-cream vendors around the map so this "historical" map for LOMAC/DCS would not fall into oblivion due to older technology that currently it has. All we need are some basic tools or simplified tasks... like painting channel maps on a PSD document that might represent rivers or roads or cities, etc. Or redoing textures for forests etc...

Silver_Dragon Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 first need make a new 3D base map with correct elevations and check if EDGE can "extend" the caucasus map to all black sea region. We must also mention that there are chances that the old map can be "useless" in the new motor (Lds2 vs LDS3), whether to tap the potential, I think I should start from scratch.

Dudester22 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I hope I am still living when this map is released. I know these things take time, but I wish they could give use some hint about when it's going to be released. I mean, are they just going to just release it in a flash at some point, or are we going to have months of different screen shots before they decide to release it?
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 well, wags mentioned in one of his earlier updates, that they hope to release edge and nevada before the end of the year... here's hoping.
cichlidfan Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 well, wags mentioned in one of his earlier updates, that they hope to release edge and nevada before the end of the year... here's hoping. I would not hold my breath on that one. They currently have an engine that cannot display the map, hence no screenies, To go from that to a released product in 7 months does not seem likely.
