Elephant Island 2035

Description
Welcome to Elephant Island! A sunny place somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, or the Carribean, or wherever you want it to be.

Only sparsely populated, it features two military camps and an airfield as well as several radio installations which makes it an interesting strategic object for several countries nearby.


BACKGROUND
This terrain was used in VBS1 where it was called 'Core island'. Then in the ArmA 2 days Peter 'Pete' Morrison had the same idea of porting the terrain to the ArmA/VBS series but a collaboration with him never became reality and with his kind permission, the terrain was then released as 'Elephant Island' for ArmA 2 with a lot of assistance from Bushlurker and others.

But why 'Elephant Island?' you may ask. David Lagettie gave it this name. We presume because of the many Elephant grass being used on it.


REQUIREMENTS
Arma 3 and Apex DLC
CUP Terrains - Core


LEGAL DISCLAIMER
You are permitted to install and use this software for entertainment purposes only. Any commercial, military or educational use is strictly forbidden without my written permission. You are NOT allowed to convert or use this terrain in VBS. The use of this terrain in DayZ or on monetized servers is strictly forbidden.


CREDITS AND THANKS
Bushlurker for all the time he spent on this project, doing work I never could have done and answering my stupid questions.

Jakerod for his help in porting the terrain from Arma 2. Without him it would never have been released.

Peter 'Pete' Morrison for his kind permission to convert the terrain and some objects to Arma. Cheers mate!

David 'Seventh' Lagettie for the original work and some insight view on the original development.

Gromov for improving the textures on some of the old models.

Mikero for his excellent tool suite. Modding would be much harder without your work.

I really enjoyed the ARMA2 version of the island. I will try this version as well.

I'm pretty sure Valken meant render-distance, not height of the grass

Ah, I was just curious. I know Bushlurker has passed, and moved onto greater things

Not for long. Bushlurker helped with the Arma2 version, made the satellite mask and road textures. He was not directly involved in this version. However, without him the whole terrain wouldn't exist.

The conversion to Arma 3 was relatively quick, thanks to Jake. Approx. 4 weeks, if at all.

Bushlurker? how long has this been in progress?

The low grass is intentional. Yes, it looks strange, admittedly, but I hate tall grass that I can't see over when lying down while the AI is giving me a headshot.
Nothing is set in stone of course, at the time being it is what it is. :-)
