Description:
Welcome to Australia island addon for Arma3 Version 5.09 This island took many years to complete, I’ve worked on it when I have had free time.
Island Facts:
The Island is 40km x 40km nobody reads the description so I could really type anything I want and noone will read it
Australia Island features 9 large airports with Green Map Icons showing Airports that have Autolanding features enabled. Blue map Icons display Manual landing features. The map screen also shows police station Icons and Hospitals.
Installation:
To install the Australia you should use modfolders to keep it seperate from the official game content to prevent issues.
With Arma 3 you can use different ways to set up your modfolders to use custom content you have downloaded.
Please visit the
Arma 3 Mod install instructions page for more information about using custom mods and addons in Arma 3.
Included files:
*.pbo
Usage:
For usage instructions and information of how to use the Australia terrain please refer to the included documentation.
For access to the police stations use the following code in your debug conole ( hit escape in editor shows debug window):
player setVariable ["copLevel",1,true];
Media:
Known issues:
AI dont like 3 roads, 2 roads near the Large Bridge as they have steep ascents.
Dirt road in Perth which runs along mountain top
AI will path find well in open or flat areas, they seem to NOT like steep hills and will try to drive offroad to avoid the hills. I have watched AI travel alround the map the only real problem areas are Sydney, and the dam roads north of Queensland.
Try to avoid sending your AI into the cities.
Bug tracker:
Please report any issues you find here:

Future plans:
- Add more detail to the existing Airports, better runways etc
- more custom content (buildings,signage, etc )
- completion of Army base near Dam
- further updates to mask and sat images
- more custom ground textures
- 4wd only tracks
- more Army bases spread around the island
- more towns/cities
Notes:
Lastly please remember Australia is a very large continent with most of it covered by desert Ive tried to recreate the "ambience" or feel. The cities are in noway similar to the real cities but Ive tried to add as much detail to the map as I could. I still have alot of work to do and if you can help in any way by donating money or time (to make new buildings) that would be awesome!!

ITS FINALLY RELEASED!!!!! Great job mate!!!
Thanks for your time, so that others can enjoy your work, this impressive really, when you understand a little better the tools to restore hope to all who post here your time.
excellent work !!
Very good and very potential gigantic map, but a lots of improvements needs to be done. Some of the bridges are still unusable for AI soldiers (for example the bridge that goes over the dam...infantry units cannot cross it) I think the bridge problem is one of the major problems in arma games... Tasmania airfield cannot be used by AI planes. Ground textures and lighting needs some work (strange flashing of sunlight and shadows, and thin line is drawing to ground when the unit is moving forward I think the ground textures needs to be more "soft") Performance of map and FPS is dropping occasionally, but maybe thats for the enormous size of the terrain... But as you said this is alpha and WorkInProgress version, very promising! keep up the good work with this one! I can't wait to see this one ready...
I know this map is in early stages but you still got 5 yesses!!!!!!!! :)
Nice!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElJSQRy71Os tried to make a good trailer for it. but meh.
however. the possibilities with this map is MASSIVE!!! huge armored warfare.. large-scale dogfights. massive survival style? possible!!
I love this map. Having a great time flying around shooting enemies out of the sky and on the ground! It's huge and I really like the diversity in the landscape. 5 stars!
Y have bug when y launch australia, AIA terrain, and fallujah the game crash
I can't get it to work, I believe that it is conflicting with another mod(s).
i can't use door of police station or other it's normal or not ?
Loved the last one cant wait to see what you put into this one.
Amazing! Downloading : )
that's really awesome! thanks for making this!
Amazing Map, truly outstanding. only issue i have run into is a significant drop in FPS in and around towns and cities, drops to about 20 fps sometimes lower, from an average of 40-50. more prominent when turning around fast. On altis and stratis i sit on 60 pretty much everywhere. Still will use this map over the rest hands down. STRAYA!!!
