Description
Hello welcome to Mountain Tim's Grand Canyon map in Arma 3. This map has a size of 28kmx28km. It is a portion of Grand Canyon National Park bordering Tusayan, Grand Canyon National Park Airport to the South, and Saddle Mountain Wilderness to the North. Bordering Western Navajo Agency to the East and Havasupai Tribe Land to the West.
This map offers a wide range of beautiful views all the way around. A very scenic place to perform the most tactical military operations. Use helicopters with friends and watch them clip their rotors on the walls of a Canyon!

Created using topography and satelite data. Please adjust your object view to a reasonable value for your specs. This map has 6,000,000 forest models across 1900 forest areas.


If you would like to do your own map anywhere I would recommend checking out the open source tool which could make this possible "GameRealisticMap Studio" on the Microsoft Store.
And if you enjoyed this map please checkout my Southwest Ohio map of Harrison, Ohio.

Can we possibly get Pittsburgh or Presque Isle peninsula in Erie PA?
Or really any river town on the Allegheny

@Mountain Tim - Here are some good locations:

Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway (Cherokee/Gatlinburg/Asheville areas are the best), Coastal locations, Okefenokee Swamp, Florida Keys, Vermont/Maine areas, and Idaho/North Dakota areas.

As a map creator myself many eons ago for Doom and Half-Life, it is a lot of work and the ones listed above, I suspect the swamp, the Keys, the Smoky's, and the Parkway would be the easiest and have the least amount of 'human stuff', thus easier/quicker to 'make'. Just my thoughts on what little I know about ARMA map making... ;)

And I agree with ya too @hamsajeanjacket1337! There is not too many USA locations sadly... :(

@hamsajeanjacket1337 I'm open to suggestions, but national parks turn out better than cities.

@MADRAT - Just for your trivia, I have MSFS 2020 and it STRUGGLES on the Grand Canyon and it does NOT have 'rough edges'.

Even with 'medium edges' in MSFS 2020, people complain about the FPS.

Google: "msfs 2020" fps


And MSFS is a NEW GAME. ARMA is 10+ years old...

;)

@MADRAT - For you and others who have no clue as how the picture is being made that you see on the screen, I will give you a simple answer to your request of 'rough edges'.

If you pull up some early 80's games and look at things like a car wheel, it will look more like an octagon than a circle.

Computers use MATH to make objects and they make them from...ready for this? TRIANGLES!

The more triangles, the greater the resolution of the object, BUT, MORE RAM and GPU speeds are required.

200 triangles vs 2,000,000.

I do not think ARMA will allow the detail you want and even if it could, I do not think your computer could draw it. WIth Uniity 5+, this MAY change.

Today though? It aint happening.


A good article is: https://steemit.com/computer-graphics/@jrkirby/the-fundamentals-of-computer-graphics-i-triangles-and-rendering

Or google: computer graphics triangles draw

Hope this helps ya!

@MADRAT theres a reason i didnt do that before i am only one man with a glimpse of his lifespan available, if you would like source files let me know.
MADRAT Oct 19, 2023 @ 4:56am 
add rough edges, like the real thing, please.

I just got done with a 32 square km variant. I will see how large I can max it out before being limited by too many objects.
