Video Visited The Real Everon

That one time when we hiked to the real Everon and Regina mountain. Highly recommended place.

I got some more pictures that might post later.

I'm not saying they didn't but I'm not sure why they would given that the biome and human geography of the island are completely different. The only thing that is really consistent is the elevation/shape and even that is changed quite a bit.

You weren't around in the A3 days when BI devs were locked up under suspicion of esbionage for photographing real locations for their video game, eh?

I was. I've been around since the first Arma. I have met that dev before. I have also met one of the devs that worked on Everon. In this case, there is no reason to send a dev there because the terrain they made for the game is not anything like the one that is there in reality outside of shape and elevation. The vegetation isn't the same. The rock types aren't the same. The culture isn't the same. The roads aren't in the same place or the towns. The economy is different. They would gain nothing from being there.

Would I be wrong in mixing that island as described, but with a 1960-80s Slavic/baltic sauce and a rural German spice?
