I read an article from 2013 or 2014 which discussed the viability of altis and stratis being combined as they are in real life. Of course, it would make for a brilliant scenario, however, would be challenging to run. Even on fairly high spec with low video settings it would be a challenge to run. That being said, it would probably consist of 90% water so there would be very few models but when you have a map this large there will of course be a lot of assets to be added. Would be awesome tho
I saw another discussion that said while possibly you’d lose alot of detail as the terrain would be basically squished in to fit everything in the actual play area
I wonder if this will be possible in Arma 4. By the time it's released, there will be plenty of motherboards with PCI-e 5.0 and compatible with DDR5 RAM. Hopefully Arma 4 will use multiple processor cores. Arma 3 only uses one core, so it's performance is mostly limited by the clock speed.
There was a mod in the very early days that allowed one to transition from Stratis to altis in flight. I recall it was extremely buggy and not worth using in any way other than a cool expirment.
My wife used to be stationed at Selfridge AFB where KC-135s and A-10s operated. The Army also operated Chinooks at Selfridge. When she had to go for a tech school at Keesler AFB, in Biloxi, MS. I was able to go with her and see the C-130s stationed there every day, including the storm chasers that fly into hurricanes. This video brings back memories, my friend. Thank you.
@@Viper1Zero We really enjoyed Keesler, and Biloxi in general. And we experienced our first Hurricane while there. Fortunately for us it moved further West and didn't do any local damage - but that was unfortunate for Western Louisiana and East Texas. 😞
Would be nice to have a map on wich this would be really possible. A terrain, including Altis, Stratis, Malden, Hebontes and Bozcaada would be a nice map for a great new story about an altian island nation. Nice video by the way.
I'd want a carrier that could move around the map along with escorts to go along with this. I wouldn't have to have that, but I'd want it. The Freedom is cool and all, but I'd really want the experience of landing on a carrier in Arma while it's in motion.
idk about landing while its in motion, but there is a guy whos made the liberty and freedom into fully functional vehicles, I believe the carrier can be put in "landing mode" where it will turn into a prop for landing and then aircraft can attach to it so they dont blow up when it moves again
Ive been playing arma 3 for about a year now and in still wondering how do you lean/have smoothed view in planes, what is the mod or the setting, please tell me.
So... judging by the comment section this is not ONE large map but instead you just edited the video to appear that it is. Am I understanding that correctly? You really got my hopes up thinking someone actually made a map that big because I would love to do something similar to this video. All that said, is it possible for someone to use the editor that when you pass a certain waypoint you load in from one map to the next? I feel that, that would be a great compromise for not being able to include all three islands on the same map.
im new to arma, and when I see these cinematics, I wonder if you coordinate these with players or AI. If its AI, could you show how you do the scripts and such? Thanks in advance
There was very little scripting done here. Mainly just told the AI to follow some waypoints. To get the aircraft to a certain altitude I would place the following in the init field of the unit: this flyinHeight 900; You can make the number whatever you want, it's in meters.
There is another island to the east of Altis, but I don't remember its name. It's about the same distance from Altis as Stratis is. It's around the same size as Altis.
@@JW86SH There isn't. Straight east from Altis is Bozcaada (which funnily enough actually has an ARMA III terrain) but that's a fair bit smaller than Altis. Further North is Goerckeada which is about the same size but its not east of Altis, it's also Turkish. Further to the South is Lesbos/Lesvos (haha funny name gay) but that's way further south
I think the ratio of murder to stealth Amy's should be reversed, instead of a few stealth and mostly murder, mostly stealth and a few murder.. might make a difference?
Waiting for DCS fan boys... 😂😂😎😎 P. S. : Viper, is there any mod for activating afterburner automatically when throttle is at 100? Cause I always have to select "activate afterburner"...
ArmA 3 has been needing this hypothetical “map” for a long time! Hopefully someone does it soon!
If my PC didn't hate me enough already, it will once it has to load all of that lmao
Arma 3 can't handle such big terrains and still be playable for ground units
there's no way to do that, unless someone remake the maps. Because, Altis, Stratis and Malden have different cell sizes.
Be cool to see someone use the tech they used to make microsoft flight simulator to make an Arma type game

@@voidlessphobia Arma's play area isn't that small though. The Australia map is 4 times the size of Altis if not more.
@@werk62 i think its about the max although i cant find the thread discussing it so i may be wrong
The white noise from this flight is so relaxing
Always a treat when VIper uploads some flight content
Love you content, you cinematics fit so perfectly with your videos you do a great job.
I know for a fact you haven't watched the video yet, what if he just made a really good 1 minute intro, then made the rest in MS paint?

Imagine if all 3 were combined.
I NEED that.
NEED.
There's a mod that combines all Operation Flashpoint maps, but it's not quite the same
@@chiken6559 Yeah there’s a couple now, and they’re pretty awesome.
How long did it take in game to hop from stratis to altis minutes and in kilometers in distance?
It would be awesome to have a map with all three of them, imagine the types of scenarios people could create
Wait, was this a single map or some slick editing? I'd like Altis and Stratis in one map!
Ive been playing arma 3 for about a year now and in still wondering how do you lean/have smoothed view in planes, what is the mod or the setting, please tell me.
TrackIR and a mod called Head Range Plus - TrackIR mod
@@Viper1Zero after 6 months i finally find it thanks to you.
@@adrian.shephard.official sorry man, should have asked me sooner!
I'm sure you could probably just land on the big jet if you get tired of flying
What mod did you get (from what it seems to be) kc-46
Any chance to get a top 5 mods for Helicopter pilots? Also Infantry hud maybe?

Whats your Arma 3 settings like
Ultra for the most part. I play in 2K, 2560x1440 on a GSYNC monitor.
i'm guessing you've done an airshow before eh?
Will you do one of these on the Australia map?
Interesting idea! I do love that map.
miss you viper daddy
Miss you too, my friend. Been a long time.
If only tankers could fly like that in real life…
Yeah the AI pilots in A3 like to think they're always in a fighter lol
Viper can you please share a video with us what mod is needed and how can we make the same senarios ..?
really enjoyed it..
No mod needed. This video is actually an illusion. I just loaded into the maps individually and used bump cards to simulate the transition. :)
After playing DCS for a few months now it's painful to see a simplified cockpit and flight model. :(
Yeahhhhh these modded aircraft have nothing on DCS. But DCS is it’s own niche.
@@Viper1Zero DCS also costs €70 per aircraft. These are free.
Honestly only Stratis and Altis must be combined and it will do for me. Malden is located near cost of Morocco so it wouldn't really fit.
There is another island to the east of Altis, but I don't remember its name. It's about the same distance from Altis as Stratis is. It's around the same size as Altis.
