Except for Hitech who built all of this,
Everyone in this thread who has not built a terrain, download the current alpha. Install it and open the TE. Then build a single island with an air field, GV spawns just to know how, and add objects for your GV to shoot at. Run the shore line maker to get nice shore lines. Raise some uplands and paint them with rock features. Remember, elevation is relative if you are missing objects you just spent hours placing on the terrain. Put in some forests and fields of various flora types. Create a flat tank gunnery range with target objects for miles. Create a tank range with forests, and several villages with static tank objects to snipe. Run the build function and play with it as an offline terrain. Then consider repeating that on a larger scale over and over to produce an MA terrain for everyone else while you are blasting the targets you set down and the drones. Took me a weekend to learn down and dirty one object at a time. There are some advanced functions that look like time savers for objects and terrain painting.
Fester is many things but, hats off to him and the other few individuals who make maps. And hats off to Hitech for making the TE work like your familiar high end graphics editing applications so you can get up to speed about as fast as self teaching Photoshop. If I can slog through it to produce an offline terrain, so can you guys.
Just skip the whizzing Hitech off like I did with stupid questions. Talk to Easycor, Ranger, and Greebo....
