Jungle Floor Ia Drang Valley

[TrueApothecary]

I think you should re-consider using grassland throughout the entire Ia Drang terrain. Grass doesn't generally grow on the dense jungle floor. Larger plants, trees, and dead leaves make it impossible for grass to survive. Arma 2 has a base forset floorbed texture and leafy plants that could be implimented in the map. Rather than rendering grass, it the forest terrain renders small, leafy plants which would be more suitable for a jungle floor. I think the default mud texture could be tweaked with additional dead/fallen leaves to give it more of a jungle look. Dirt could also be reddened a small bit so it blends in easily with the red dirt.

Mixing and Matching lush grass, jungle floor, and red dirt will give the map a real nice jungle feel.

This is a video from Burma (Mianmar) in Southeast Asia. It's hard to find many recent videos of the jungle in Vietnam. This one is in color, it follows a group of refugees through the jungle and gives a pretty good view as to what what the jungle terrain in this region looks like.

Found one of Vietnam. This is a series of clips, but it shows a few firefights that take place deep in the jungle.
