What would you like to see in an island?

Simple Question. What would you like to see in an island? What should it be like?

big airports, cities,highway

Wow that was fast. City has already been done over 100 buildings (Including a nearby factory complex) Air ports will be there too once i get to the spot. and i think ill be able to do the highway too.

I'd like to see industries. Not huge factories, necessarily, but things like lumber mills, cement factories, etc. Stuff you see in everyday life that you don't notice.

As of right now I have factory complexs, fields of the akat02_kevy tree (which looks like could be used as some kind of harvest tree) and lots of farms. There will be more things eventually with custom buildings but i need some more texturers and modelers to help. BTW: As you may have noticed im just sitting here hitting refresh (trying to delay studying for french)

Might I recommend that you do what BAS is planning for their island - minimize the buildings. OFP by default has something like 1000 faces per building, IIRC. You only need six faces to make a cube. For the computing cost of one normal building in OFP, you could have about 166 buildings that are simple textured squares and rectangles. Think about it.

I would love to see a Presidencial/Mayor building which is enterable(for some missions) , industrial sector would be nice

how about a racing place?

just a few additional suggestions

Or make scripting points like if player enters an village then the village will be created in a short time and if player leaves city...well the whole thing will be deleted so no lag and good FPS or not?

[Jakerod]

Ya i was thinking about doing that for some of them. Only thing is I don't like playing in towns (as well as many other people) where there is no cover cuz none of the buildings are enterable or not many of them anyway.

And thats where my idea comes in....
