Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

The beginning of the year seems to be posing some of the same concerns, but we, as a team are confident and believe we have a solid 2021 Roadmap in place that will see the addition of some very exciting new modules and core development improvements. Currently, we have begun testing the new clouds with our internal testers and look forward to receiving more feedback as we expand our testing program. Check out the In Development screenshots.

We would like to share further work on the island of Rota, Mariana. We are currently working on anomalies in the road networks as well as the ground objects and their paint textures. We are also working on the shoreline rock composition details.

We encourage you to review the F-5E Tiger II Black Sea Resolve campaign below. More details on how to get involved in mission creation can be found on the forum.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team

Rota Island

Introduction

Rota Island is the smallest of the populated islands and the second southernmost island of the Marianas archipelago. Despite the fact that the island had a small Japanese garrison of more than 2000 men during WWII, American troops never invaded it. It was however bombed occasionally by the U.S Navy in attempts to silence Japanese warning transmissions about B-29 Superfortress bomber attacks.

Sinapalo village is the biggest settlement in the island and features Rota International Airport. The single runway was built and manned by the Japanese until the U.S Navy bombed it into disuse at the end of WWII. In September of 1945, the airfield was renovated and extended an impressive 5,000ft to serve as an emergency landing strip.

The Songsong village on the island of Rota is located along the southwestern part of the island. The village has a population of less than 1,000 inhabitants and boasts a recognisable landmark known as Wedding Cake mountain, Mt. Tinubal. The layered rock and capes have been recreated in detail to include the natural dips of volcanic rock structures and the gentle sloping forms of the limestone plateau in the North part of the island.
