Nice Island...

[the_shadow]

thought i would make a small heads up on the work on this island...

since easter until friday last week i was without computer (chrashed motherboard) so i couldnt work anything on the island...
but this weekend i have managed to make som small work, mostly around the airbase but also on the small "industial area" at Boda village.
however work is goeing slow and i miss a few types of buildings (well, i dont really miss the addons, but they are in large packs and i want to keep the island as addon free as possible) wich i would apreciate if i could get some help with...
the main addon i miss is a wooden aircraft shelter/Hangar (without doors) that looks similar to the concrete bunkers in the Mapfact airport pack.
and i also miss a old factory building (big brick building with 2 large brick cimneys to fit on the industrial area at Boda)

so if anyone could help with that i would be very happy, if not i have to solve it some other way.

im also trying to figure out how to make the MOUT area North of the small army base on the western part of the largest island to run smoothly, right now i get a disturbing (not unplayable though) amount of lag on my machine....

me and Zip also tries to figure out how to make the ILS work on the airbase (could need a bit help with that)
and finally im looking for some nice runway and taxiway textures to use on the airbase (that blends in with the Nogova ground textures), preferably they should look like a small runway that isnt used more then like 5-6 weeks a year by military jets.

oh, and please, give med comments and come with sugestions please

small progress report...

I have made some more work on the airbase, amongst other i have added dirt roads to connect the plane parkings and added some buildings..
i added 2 small garages for light vehicles and 1 garage for bigger vehicles (such as tanks)
i also added a "Warehouse" wich will resemble a storage for wartime equipment (company size)

i also have a few ideas about making some stuff in the woods to make the area a tad more interesting... such as maybe a Radar station (with a tall "Radar on a mast" thingy wich ofcourse will be surrounded by a fence.
i also made some more stuff to the "farm" on the hill just above the base, a couple of more buildings and some fence, looks much better i tell ya...

im also planning to make gardens as ppl wanted that, and to be honest i had planned to make them from the start but i just couldnt be arsed to make all that small details from the start (see it as a sketch, first you make the big lines so you get a idea of how it will look, then you add the details until you are pleased with the result. thats the way i work on the island)

more ideas are as said welcome.
screenshots might be posted later today or one of the coming days

i hope noone complains at me for dragging up this old thread again, especially not since it´s about my own island.

anyway.
i have continued working on this island more or less since the last Beta, and it has been improved quite a bit...

some areas have been almost totally remade, and others have been improved and/or changed.
and soon it´s time for a new beta (1.1 this time)

some improvements are
* remade airbase
*custom hangars for the airbase
*new buildings and forrests from the Finnish Buildings Pack
*added some gardens, not complete though, gardens take time and isnt that important to me
*"improved" road net
*bigger industrial area (old factory complex)
*added a harbour
*removed unnessesary parts from the config to make it about 5Mb smaller

stay tuned for a couple of screens later this weekend, and possibly a new beta release, im just waiting for a new version of the hangars.

oh, btw.... it requires the Swedish Forces Pack since i use a couple of their island objects as well.
links to Finnich Buildings Pack and Swedish Forces Pack can be found in the first post.
they are well worth a download

questions, suggestions and comments are welcome!
