BlackLion213 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 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. :) -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG-51_Razor Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 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: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvi Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 There are some oil derricks in the northern part of the map, near Krasnodar if I remember right. Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Indeed there is an oil field around there. There should be an oïl refinery in Tuaps I think also, but it is not present in game. IIRC, it should take up almost all of the southern bank of the river. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Don't forget too that there will be a totally revamped Caucasus theatre soon. Who knows what extra details will have been added there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMikeJuliet Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 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.

BlackLion213 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thank you for the information. That was exactly what I needed, especially the option to create it in the mission editor (even if laborious). I appreciate the help! -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironhand Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Dooom, MGRS of the refinery? 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 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 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.

al531246 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Oh I see. Is it possible to mod our current GUI to make it like that or is it more effort than it's worth?
