I found some aerial photos of compounds in the Helmand Province that the devs may possibly find useful someday. The were taken from a private plane "between Camp Bastion and Lashkar Gah". Enjoy.

very cool thanks for sharing, these should come in useful
would have thought the taliban would have fired off a few RPGs and small rounds at a small plane flying that low thou, they are lucky to get away without a scrape.

Looks to me like a fairly old civilian plane. Taliban are unlikely to want to shoot down a non-Military plane, as it would turn the local population against them.[R-DEV]Rhino wrote:very cool thanks for sharing, these should come in useful

Great pictures though

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know my adrenaline would be running a bit high[R-DEV]Rhino wrote: would have thought the taliban would have fired off a few RPGs and small rounds at a small plane flying that low thou, they are lucky to get away without a scrape.
On a side note, keep up the great work all; you've got a big PR fan here!

can be strong as an ox but loaded with the gear you got to carry, can still bring you to your knees... and people think the deploy time on the HAT in PR is too long
