The Northmen's DayZ - NWAF: 10 Years Later
Take a journey to the past. Deep within the thick forest this hidden gem is unveiled: North West Airfield - 10 Years Later. A unique custom map built by the Northmen for The Northmen. Join us today! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Cpt. Sauna [Owner & Developer] - Since the day I returned to Dayz back in 2022 after years of abscent, I've always missed the old NWAF. Maybe I'm just being sentimatic, and of course I have understanding of progression in Dayz and the expansion of the game required a larger airfield. The first re-work wasn't very well met by the community. And in 2023 Bohemia re-worked NWAF yet again - but I was still not intriged. After watching old videos, and player's re-living the beta NWAF in 0.62 versions of the game, I took the challenge of remaking the entire Airfield in to the old beloved one. It's not the first time this is being done. There are few out there who made some changes to replicate the old NWAF, but not to this scale. Over 10.000 deleted objects and buildings, and with over 13.000 added ones, this "10 years later" NWAF took shape, being precise in scale and distances, buildings and objects. It came with a lot of challenges.. Firstly, I'm not a DayZ editor guy, this was actually my first rodeo. To get acquainted with the editor was challenging enough. But the terrain itself is un-changeable using the editor. And to do so would require me to make and upload a new map with a terrain that resembles the old version; this was of course not an option. Within the current NWAF, there are "hard-coded", or placed objects/terrain/visuals by Bohemia by default; meaning roads, concretepanels, bunkers, grass is something that needs to be worked around, and covered up. This resulted in multiple grassislands, and manual placing of thousands of trees and hundreds of grass clutters all around, to shape the entire area to fit the scale; as old NWAF was smaller in size compared to today's NWAF. Secondly, I had a vision: "NWAF: 10 Years Later". This airfield would have stood still after history of battles and combat taking place, and it's been left alone and forgotten, surrounded by thick forest; and let nature take its toll. There are more details and objects added to this place compared to the old NWAF. Because honestly, a 100% true old NWAF wouldn't be very enjoyable - it's however in the key elements; such as the hangars, ATC and the way the airfield was run and looted - the popularity and demand for this kind of airfield lies. Do you remember being scared shitless making the run across the airfield? I do, and that is what makes the old NWAF perfect, as you either looted it form southwest-northwest, or the other way around - with a high risk of encounters. //Cpt.
