Battlefield 2 invades the high-tech frontlines of modern warfare. The game brings the intensity and excitement of Battlefield 1942 into the modern era with enhanced team play and the latest, most technologically advanced vehicles and weapons systems available to man.
the MountainsDogfight1.rar file can be unpacked, where you want: then you must take the file "MountainsDogfight1" and include it in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels:
Do not be frightened by the weight (421mo) of the map; It's just the result of using very detailed textures; no more !
- Presentation:
The relief of the map was created, starting from DEM coming from the north of Italy (Digital Elevation Model); Then covered with a texture made from aerial orthophotos.
And therefore, the landscape you are going to fly over in the game, therefore exists really; And to be more precise, it is a region situated on the border between the Garda Lake and the south of Italian Trentino: If you are curious, you can find it via Google Earth.
Finally, we have a playable space of 1024x4, suitable for air flight, and surrounded by a similar terrain, in many points of view: therefore 12 km x 12km; Furthermore the map is parametrized to allow aircrafts to fly extremely high, much higher than the mountain peaks, here 2145 m
- Gamemode:
In the solo mode, you have access only to fighter planes: in the coop mode, you have access to the planes but also to two of the helicopters: in the conquest mode , you have, of course, access to all the vehicles: For a good balance, there are at disposal, 10 helicopters and 12 planes, which allows almost to about thirty players / bots.
That's why each mode has only the 32 players version
- For game logic;
The helicopters capture the flags; The planes protect the helicopters as they progress: easy !
- Immersion in the game:
I strongly advise the use of a good joystick for the piloting, as well as, for an even closer experience of reality, using the Kestrel app of FreeTrack Project: BF2FreeLook v1.1: thanks to him !! So the cockpit view becomes panoramic and makes it easier to follow the positions of the opponents: immersion in the game is then greatly improved.
- Issues;
There are still a few artifacts in spite of the care taken in the realization of the map, problems inherent to the game itself: since this is a 1024x4 map, you will have to remove the dynamic shadows in the video options, Ugly spots characteristics: something else, do not be surprised if the bots tend to be suicidal in the mountains, I have failed to tam them; You will see: Lol!
Note that for players interested in multiplayer, the map is now playable, online, on the Lost-soldiers server: BF2.LOST-SOLDIERS.ORG:17002
If you have any questions do not hesitate !
Anyway, have fun !!
And do not hesitate to leave me your impressions; I will reply with pleasure.
From 3 km away, there is an artifact with the mountains; And the only possibility of masking it is to use a sky of the same color as the fog: Therefore, a cool skybox will probably not be possible; sorry for that !
Those nice little words; ......(I think that all mappers are sensitive to this)....: and so, do not hesitate to tell me if there is a problem with the map or a particular request.
He says that for the distance of view, it is better to fly high enough to see the textures:
something else, as I know you appreciate the 3d, I tried the map this afternoon with tridef3d and viewsonic screen, but It did not work; To 68% back to desktop: probably not enough memory with my old 32 bit xp; I should try on another machine: on the other hand, an old version of the map, without secondary terrain, works perfectly; And with Bf2FreeLook, it was perfect

I think I might have a good tip for you.
Post your map on Realitymod.com in the Community Mapping Section.
Rhino made the Falklands map for PR, which is stretching the limits of bf2, similiar to you map. It allows flying from Argentinian Mainland to the islands, which is a long distance, has high view distances and has working ground combat.
He will be delighted to share tips with you.
(Also, your map, modeled from reality, would work amazingly well with PR jet physics, and they would help integrate your map into PR for sure.)
Hi User35, for the moment I do not have too much time for that : my first idea was to create this map for everyone owner of the vanilla Bf2, not just for PR mod players, because my impression is that concerns less people: but later, why not...Thx for your advice, I'll surely think about it
Thank you for your very generous feedback, bluehawk112; and congratulations for your efforts . The terrestrial navmesh has been finished for a long time and I was thinking of asking you if you are interested; I still need zip it: I can send it to you via my Drive, if you want; tell me ! thx
Yes, but at the beginning, the file was a zip ; then, some peoples ask for for an .exe ; my firt intention was to own the two on the download page, but admin said to me that it would be impossible.
I believe its not because of the bots because the map really crashes after successfully loading and before I enter the map itself. Cant even enter via Conquest.
Ooooh ! Few peoples told me about such a problem : anyway, you can always delete the map folder and reinstall with a new one : maybe download again the .exe map, if yours is corrupt ; hope that help !
Wow thanks!
amazing :D
Man this looks incredible so getting it for my custom mod, the community needs to make more of these types of maps! Well Done!
dude!! it will work on battlefield 2 1.5? It crash or Not?
PinkDog,

Hahaha ok thanks buddy btw do you have a map with 3d skybox i mean cool skybox
From 3 km away, there is an artifact with the mountains; And the only possibility of masking it is to use a sky of the same color as the fog: Therefore, a cool skybox will probably not be possible; sorry for that !

Is this singleplayer map work perfect?
It seems to me that yes; So far, there is no complaint from users: you can try it; If the map does not suit you, simply delete !

Very nice, gonna give this map an upgrade when Remastered 3.0 is ready, I will wait for all the improvements you can make until there.
It would be better if you release a .rar link too
Yes, but at the beginning, the file was a zip ; then, some peoples ask for for an .exe ; my firt intention was to own the two on the download page, but admin said to me that it would be impossible.
Closes the game, I have version 1.5, help please
The card very good, but takes off.... And bugs are.
Can you explain ? Maybe i can help...
The game crashed after loading the map
hello
M4CarbineSAF,
can you play some minutes, before crash; if so, could be the use of too much bots; tell me !
I believe its not because of the bots because the map really crashes after successfully loading and before I enter the map itself. Cant even enter via Conquest.
hmmm let me see... what could be the recommended system specs to play this map? is it a bit higher compared to the Operation Greasy Mullet map of AIX?
Work on my old xp 32 bit and little gpu.
so what could be the problem?
I really cant play the map. Keeps crashing upon clicking the join game button
Ooooh ! Few peoples told me about such a problem : anyway, you can always delete the map folder and reinstall with a new one : maybe download again the .exe map, if yours is corrupt ; hope that help !
HEY man help me it crashes
Would be beter to take the new one.... !
******* amazing map!!!
Thanks, have fun Eddy !
