Map sizes (that ship with AATF)

[meade95]

Is there a quick reference / listing of the size of each of the maps (for each scenario that ships with AATF).

Is the map scale the same for each Anaconda OP? - I know for certain the playable area is different among each phase - But are the map scales the same? (I don't think so).

Turn on the map grid when you are in the scenario - each of the squares is 1000m on EVERY map. Every map has the same "scale", which means it is scalable and you zoom in and out - the AATF maps can zoom in 4x closer than ATF maps, but I believe it all depends on the size of the map how far you can zoom in.

But the "scale" is exactly the same for every map, only the size changes.

Here is a comprehensive list of map sizes:

JRTC 1 & 2: 10km x 10km

Ia Drang: 26km x 10 km

Mogadishu: 10km x 10km

Anaconda 1 & 3: 20km x 20km

Anaconda 2 & 4: 10km x 10km

Hope this helps.

"Map sizes" - That is exactly what I was looking for - (I understand the 1000m sq).

Thanks

Because of a limitation of current graphics card, the resolution of the maps is different (i.e. how many meters are represented per pixel). Video cards are optimized to do thousands of 3D calculations per second, but they are suprisingly crappy at storing and displaying large bitmaps. I had to do a number of programming back flips to display maps efficiently in the game (which is why zoom in and zoom out takes so long).
