It looks like the island, if truly 1:1 scale, will be roughly 35x30km of land mass. I'm fucking STOKED for the island and I would pay 60$ for it alone, let alone all of the engine upgrades and new content that come with.

Can a BIS Dev confirm the scale of the island, please? :)

Awesome find!

Hopefully there's some nice spots to dive around there :)

@b00ce: Guessing of course, but I don't expect anything less than Takistans 12x12 (or 13x13? unsure). So 13x13 to 16x16 with sea expanding to 20x20 - 25x25 doesn't seem unlikely. The towns on the original doesn't seem feasible to put in a game, but I would like to have a few Paraiso sized reasonably modern towns.

Looking at the thickness of the roads, it doesn't seem like 1:1.

Yes, it's little smaller. But not much.

There are more reasons, especially the travel distances.

That's great news, will it be the biggest arma island yet?

So do I. It being scaled down to even 20x17km would be amazing.

What about the airfield/airports? In A2 the cherno airfield is only moderately realistic. Are we going to see proper lighting, spacing, taxiway safety margins, and etc. in A3? As well as lengths?

@.Taffy: You linked this very forum page :p

In google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.907576,25.256143&z=11&t=h&hl=en

Must say, it looks like an excellent choice. Hope the mountains in the west are close to Takistan (feature wise). But I'd like some rivers. Deep and wide enough for AI driven boats to navigate.

Oh that was....embarrasing. Here's the proper link if anyone's interested, has about 200 "Likes"
