Question about the Black Sea map


BlackLion213

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've read that the northern Caucasus was (or still is?) an important region for Soviet/Russian oil production dating back to the early 20th century.

 

Are there any oil refineries or large oil storage areas on the map? Is it possible to create something like it using the mission editor?

 

Thank you for the help. :)

There are a variety of static objects available in the ME such as oil derricks and pumping stations as well as storage tanks and factory buildings that could all be put together to resemble some kind of oil producing region or refinery. However, given the limitations of the ME, it might take you a couple of months to put it all together so that it actually looks like what you're trying to build. :wallbash:

 

No wonder it takes so long for ED to produce a new map!! A 3D view of the objects being placed on the map sure would be nice. Hint hint hint :smilewink:

Don't forget too that there will be a totally revamped Caucasus theatre soon. Who knows what extra details will have been added there.

 

Indeed! And if the quality of the Normandy map is anything to go by, the effect will be more like having a totally new map instead of a update.

 

Goodbye old Caucasus, I willl not be missing you :D

Dooom,

Not at home right now so I can't help you with that you. But on the original Caucasus map (FC1.x) they were at points #15, #16 (see attached image).

 

Pretty sure it's in the same location on the DCS map: Krasnodar Oil and Gas Company oil refinery(KOGC)

 

I had, at one point, created a DCS Caucasus Tour mission that included the oil fields, etc. If I still have it, I'll pass it on.

 

 

EDIT: A partial "tour" mission file is now attached. I placed static objects on WP3-WP6. WP5 is the refinery that's there. It has no buildings. Just the plumbing. :) The other static objects mark oil fields. Use the F12 key to jump from object to object. LCtrl+F11 will free up the camera to look around.

Ironhand,

 

where did you get that ME gui mod? I need it!

As Grimes says, that screen is from the old LOMAC/FC1.x version of the sim. The map, in one version or another, has been around for awhile.
