i love what your doing!
7:27 HAHAHAHAHAHAAA THE 3 PICS AT THE BOTTOM
The Milk maid! Lol. That was from my first mission I made. Unfortunately someone complained and had it taken down from Steam, but I did make a video of it
thanks for the helpful video
Thank you!
DOPE! ty big dog!
Awesome tutorial! Been looking for a step by step explanation. Is there a way to customize and/or make custom air bases?
No there are no custom airbases atm, just the 2 options in the map editor. There are assets you can use in the mission editor to make an F.O.B but that’s about it
@@TheFerretsWheels Ok, thanks! Look forward to the next video.
@@TheFerretsWheels Another question if may - can maps be linked together to make larger maps? I'd like to make big missions covering large distances for campaigns.
The maximum map size is 196x196km so you cannot have a map larger than that yet. You could create a campaign of missions with different maps though
@@TheFerretsWheels I thought so but just thought I'd ask. I can set waypoints the have to be followed that can simulate longer missions. Too long and folks lose interest, too short and it kinda doesn't simulate a typical combat situation. Thanks for the response!
hey ferret can you tell me how i can get costom patches on my arms like you do at 0:08 please i cant seem to find out how to do that thanks.
its a multiplayer thing. it puts your steam profile pic on your arm automatically as well as your plane's tail
9:10 600 miles corresponds to 965.6km, so wouldn't 965.6 divided by 196 be a more correct calculation? In that case, the ratio would be 4.92 and not 3.06.
If I mixed my units up then yes, you are right
what if we make a map thats just a giant room with furniture
There are no voids allowed in the map, like tunnels or arches, so it would look like a giant had carved a rough chair out of mountain. But I guess it could kind of work
I've been trying to follow this guide, but the website won't download the heightmap after I click render.
I have just been on and tested it and it worked ok for me. It will auto download once the rendering has finished so maybe there is something preventing auto downloads

how did you come up with the 2230 pixels by 2230 pixels
Rough measured 2 known points in google earth (North and South tip of the UK - approx 600 miles). Rough measured height of known points in pixels (6800 approx). Scale of map is 600 miles per 6800 pixels. Max map size in game is 196x196km but I mixed up my units at this point so I calculated for 196x196 miles. If the height of the map is 600 and I need 196 that’s 600/196 = 3.06 therefore 6800 pixels / 3.06 is approx 2230 pixels. In Km the uk is approx 965km so using the correct value 965/196 = 4.92. 6800 / 4.92 = 1382. So doing it right I’d need a 1382 x 1382 square for a 196km2 map
@@TheFerretsWheels thank you that cleared it up for me
the heightmap site wont load for me
I just tried and it’s ok for me. Try Googling Height Map and if that doesn’t work, clear your browser cache (Ctrl + shift + delete)
I cant find my steam folder. I made like 2 of them
Right click the game in your Steam library, click properties, then local files. This should take you to the VTOL folder
@@TheFerretsWheels thanks!
it can also happen that when you move the game to another drive the old files stay on the first drive
i had this with my radio files
I still don’t know how to play in my map that i made plz help😢😢
You need to make a mission in mission editor and select your map as the mission map
@@TheFerretsWheelsthank you sooooo much
@7:37 sorry to ruin da vid man but that's a narly fart
That's my parakeets (you can hear them at 25:57 and 26:03) playing with the spring on the door, but I wish it was a fart because that would be one to be proud of 😂
@@TheFerretsWheels lmao
Whole of the UK at the moment sounds kinds suspicious...
‘Ello? Wots goin’ on ‘ere then?
the problem with that website is that a lot of the water gets blended in with the terrain.
I didn’t have an issue once the height was set correctly, but t if you know of any others please drop them in comments and I’ll take a look
@@TheFerretsWheels Does it have to be the black and white heightmap or can it be other types
I think it has to be greyscale
