Coastal Range terrain preview

[ignacioc91 101]

Hi folks!!! I am very interested in terrain building, and I am showing you what I'm working on: Coastal Range. The idea is a fictional terrain just to practice and enhance our A2G skills, carrier take-off and landing, VTOL. There are a few target areas to practice, ports and ground and shipping routes. There is no AAA nor SAMs but there are radars, so SEAD missions will be possible. I was inspired by ChampionVA56`s great Mescalero Proving grounds 

 

It is a small project, and I hope I'll be able to create bigger and real terrains in the future.

 

So, I'll present you some screenshots, what do you think? I hope you guys like it! 

 

None of the ground objects are mine, some are stock TW and others (most of them) are mods, as are the tiles and seasons. 

 

Now the credits!! I have included many ground objects and 3rd party mods, so, if I have omitted anyone, would you please let me know? Comments, wishes and suggestions are welcomed

Can we see the planning map so we can make an idea of the area?

[ignacioc91 101]

Of course!!

I would definitely move the fuel tanks OFF the flightline and parking ramp. Maybe replace it with the 'gas station'. You don't want something that explosive so near the parking ramp

[ignacioc91 101]

I agree, looks a bit dangerous! Thanks for the suggestion!

[Viggen 644]

Looks good! Always up for another range.

[Stratos 3,192]

The map looks really cool! I think it will be a nice addition. Are you planning to add weapon ranges? Also you mentioned VTOL, can we see it?

[claw 17]

Excellent. Some fictional terrain for all those "what if"-scenarios!

Looks really good, I like it.  The shape of the terrain reminds me of the stock fictional Desert terrain, which is in reality Mozambique but turned 90° degrees.

[claw 17]

Perhaps some waterways you can fly up for those riverine interdiction missions :) 

[ignacioc91 101]

Thank you guys!! The map is in fact Mozambique, the Mozambique Strait and Madagascar. I'm planning to have VTOL from carriers, (LHA Tarawa for instance). The idea in to include practice missions featuring carrier operations. As regards weapon ranges, I don't have the tiles, so I'll have to talke to the author.
