Road Mile Markers

Recommended Posts

:idea:

Road markers would be a great new way to navigate in the dark. Could even put them on the RR tracks as well. Or how about English translated street signs. You know what else would be great? If someone did all the skin work and uploaded them here to this thread.

:D

Well English translations will impede on the realism. I don't personally agree with it. Unless there is an Amerian Island or UK Island, but other than that no. As for mile markers I'm not too sure if they use that system overseas. I live in the US so the metric system here is different. If there are Markers, they would most likely be in KM, however I have yet to seen any. Even in over seas.

Chernarus is loosely based on the Czech Republic. Whatever they do there would be acceptable I guess.

Good point, Soviet Union (former Soviet Union) and US are different.

I would not mind the Czech/Russian signs but all the maps are in English, So unless you can translate you kinda stuck.

Keep in mind ALL road signs in Chernarus use Russian road sign system (examples #1 and #2).

Besides, you aren't supposed to be traveling the roads anyway, not if you don't want to get shot!

As was hinted at earlier, maps being in english would be no help when the road signs are in russian...just match the words up

Yeah, it's not like Russian is alien hieroglyphs or something. I might not be able to "read" a Russian road sign, pronounce it out loud or write it down again but it's close enough to English that you should be able to get the idea.

That, or one could look up this map and match up Cyrillic spelling with English one.

I think I found something useful called: Swedge's Star Navigation Guide.

The file is larger than 1024 kilobytes (6.64 MB) so I can't upload it to attachments but you can get it from the armaholic web site, just do a search for "Swedge's Star Navigation". It shows you how to navigate via the stars.
