Worth it, Almost every building is enterable and some have hidden areas.

True, and there are quite a few other maps that use JBAD that wouldnt be too bad for FTXs

JBAD is so worth when you get releases like this

[GySgt Cole]

Yeah, this looks amazing. 

EDIT: Trying it out now. Flying around in Zeus, the map is 1. beautiful 2. runs well 3. has so many varied enviroments 4. has much more detailed and realistic towns/compounds than Takistan
This may become known as one of the best Arma maps.

If we deploy to or do an FTX on this map with Russians/Russian-based factions as the OPFOR I'm gonna be disappointed as all hell.

For some reason the map terrain just looks like google maps. But, ive been having that problem with all maps since 1.68 released.

They probably pulled the SATMAP straight from GoogleEarth (that's how most authors do it), and didn't actually refine the texture that appears in-game. Map is seriously outstanding though. We've needed a new terrain from this region for a while.

I honestly can't get over how much I like this map. They've done an excellent job with it and it lives up to my hype for it.
The countryside is dotted with villages of varying size and a realistic density, and the 2 biggest cities are really built up. The airfields and military infrastructure in country are well done too. 

Here's my unofficial template that (I think) works

Made a template using the 3d MRB settings.

That would make since. But, im also getting an issue where after 1.68, my midtextures (15 - 30 meters out) are like the textures 500 meters.

I mean it is only a training template.  Anyone is welcome to modify it to make it into a liberation or enemy assault map.
