Hi all

It's a pain trying to put together an FOB as accurately as possible when you only have fragments to work from. If anyone has/can find any good references for FOB Jackson I would be very grateful. Please post any you find below.

Thanks

Thanks :) have you got/can you get something showing the right side of the river on the right a little more? I believe that's where the FSG tower is.

Cheers mate, yeah I should post up what I already have, Ill do that later.

I think I'll have to compromise on what's really there a fair bit which is a shame :( but it should hopefully catch the essence of the FOB with the FSG tower (the one you've linked pictures of) and the other building near it which I have a substitute for. I won't have the canal going through the FOB but it's not essential, I just wanted to have it for the asethetics.

Once I've reworked the FOB I can put the final detail work into the compounds, get the gamemodes together then testing can begin... in another 10 years! (maybe not that long ;) )

Looks class mate. Am thinking not only insurgency, but that mode where the Taliban have to cap the flags/bases would be pretty epic too. Same as Bamyan alt I think, where the US can't cap them back.

Cheers. I've got a new game mode in mind that's similar. I'll post more about that in the next month when I start getting somewhere with the detail work in the compounds.
