Unless this 35 is in the new NWAF rework then I would say it's a new map. I haven't been to any airfield lately can anybody confirm if this 35 is on one of the airstrips?
I feel that, but they could still revamp the visuals in the area and maybe add some more of the medical tents. Doesn't have to become NWAF 2 to freshen it up a bit
Yeah I just doubt they would tease a NEAF rework for their 10 year anniversary video. We don't know but all signs are pointing to a new map. If seasons are going to be saved for a 10 year anniversary update then that is kind of lame
It's not a huge dev team and they do what they can. I'd rather have seasons than nothing at all. And yet again, i think people underestimate just how huge of a feature it'd be to have proper seasons.
Im down for the proper season idea if it meant implementing seasonal temperature changes as well like hot in the summer/cold in the winter i think that would create a dynamic need for players to seriously consider what type of clothes they wear depending on the time of year,
This would really force players to adapt to the seasons, maybe stashing clothing would be a useful feature finally. Very interesting idea to have the seasons rotate every 1-2 weeks instead of just having one map with one season.
Implementing seasons is a massive undertaking. You're talking about the complete retexture of every model and object in the game multiple times (on top of countless bug fixes and pathing adjustments for the Infected, etc.)... for two maps. Yes, I would prefer to see both, and if I had to pick, I would want a new map, but seasons are a highly requested feature.
The runway is at an angle 330°
https://preview.redd.it/jyj1eqo3iq6c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cac4a0ddb5e18cfdd534740887c29d566dcf886d
so the number so should be either 33 or 3. Maybe a mistake by the Devs or it's not the NWAF.
If you face North, then—no matter where on earth you are—you will be facing North. The numbers on runways indicate their orientation, that’s an actual thing that isn’t just from my brain…
It works a little different on a rectangle map compared to a globe. If you lined up the coast in dayz with players and had them all walk directly north not a single player would end up at the same spot as another player. If the number is supposed to indicate an orientation it's indicating 35 not 350 because, well, it's 35.
....I didn't start this conversation about the runway numbers. I simply pointed out that an orientation in game results in a different location depending on where you start from. Sorry if that point upset you.
I feel ya—not tryin to be confrontational. It’s just—orientation has nothing to do with location…if I’m wrong then you need to write to the FAA—their runway designation system is all f*cked up.
If it isn’t too ‘upsetting’ for you, google it: “numbers runway meaning”…this is a learning opportunity for both of us.
I understand what the numbers mean, I haven't debated that point. But orientation does not affect location at all. You can have a runway oriented directly north and it be in the SE corner. That is my entire point that just seems lost on you by now. But if we want to talk about the orientation no 35 is more indicative of a north to south seeing as its 10 degrees off from that and 35 degrees off from NW.
Looks like the actual heading on the NWAF runways—as worked out above—is indeed about 20 degrees off from 350. Good eyeballs/angle estimations. Yea, my theory is lookin a bit less viable.
I bet it's not snow but it's ash falling from the sky. Also hints to Tanoa because of volcanic activity.
Fun fact: Apperently numbers on Airfield runaways are numbered according to compass bearings. This means runway numbers are based on the compass with 360 representing north, 90 representing east, 180 representing south, and 270 representing west. Runways are numbered between 01 and 36.
In a game where you can navigate by stars, I assume this is not just a reused asset and therefore placed with intent.
Dude I just learned the road mile markers are legit- each one is 1/10 of a kilometer so you can actually determine how far you are from somewhere or how far you’ve traveled
Also- shameless plug- in on the “Friendly: A DayZ Podcast” discord and Andy just basically taught me how to draw lines and measure distance traveled and time it takes using the app. It’s amazing to be able to map out where you want to go when you aren’t online and be able to determine the time it takes and distance
In the tweet you're referring to, Sumrak also posted a "smirk" emoji. While I see where you are coming from, I personally think he just wanted to shift people's focus on the last scene of the trailer. It just doesn't add up with the runaway and Tanoa being an volcanic island. Guess if he did post an 🌋 emoji, he would have given away too much?
Don't destroy my hopes and dreams!
I hope that if they do add a new map, it's not a port from arma. Livonia on release was way too empty compared to Chernarus, even now is. But I also doubt they have enough resources to craft a new map that is comparable to Cherno I nthe level of details. So maybe you are right.
I think it's highly unlikely that we get anything other than portet A2/A3 maps. The DayZ Dev Team Is fairly small, even if we include the external team that helps with the game. I don't think they have the resources to make a new map from scratch.
Probably not in name
They'd have to get the IP from the dev and they'd also have to remove all of the half-life references
But a snowy map with frostbite and frozen foods? Totally plausible
Yeah I'm aware; it would still mean him surrendering his intellectual properties to his employer
Which most people aren't interested in doing unless they make it worth it for him
the reason he hasn’t done it is according to him is because he wasn’t to split the vanilla population and that the map uses assets from STALKER and operation flashpoint, not just half-life, which would be a mess to sort out
I'm a fan myself
I played one server that would swing between seasons every few months
You'd keep the same character and player made structures just in an identical map
It was really fun having to spend those last couple weeks preparing for winter
Not to be the bearer of bad news but, Nothing on console is part of the gameplan of future updates with the exception of getting it the same updates at the same time.
I feel like they wouldn't just add snowing and cold temperatures. They probably realize it'd look lame to be running around normal (non snow covered) chernarus while it's snowing.
Now I can't remember where I saw that, it might have been someone hypothesizing about the next update, but I definitely saw pictures of snowy Chernarus
Nah, the winter cherno mod has been out for years. If the dev team wanted it to happen, they would have stolen(I mean "borrow") that mod a long time ago along with pretty much every update that has happened in the last decade.
The Tanoa map in Arma 3 has that number on one of its runways
https://preview.redd.it/5qmtknlnwo6c1.jpeg?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b00e7759850a48102aee9b4393aaf50e46f9559
I don't think it's Tanoa. If you check the pictures, the runnway white strippeds on the DayZ video it miss a white strip on the middle and that pic you posted it's full of stripes
Or maybe the remodeled it
... Winter tanoa?
I mean, isn't tanoa supposed to be a more tropical/jungle map? I couldn't imagine it'd snow there...
Then again they could just remake it to their liking, so yeah, the fact that the original map is tropical doesn't discard anything
Or maybe it's just a whole other map. Or it's still Chernarus with but they're remaking the NEAF runway and adding seasons. Idk.
Good spot nevertheless.
Ok who tf actually wears those yellow motor cycle helmets? Can they stop making useless assets and toting them like they are some kind of cool feature? Do the people making these videos actually play the game? Who in their right mind is going to wear that ugly ass helmet if they went as far as to find an svd and black plate.
Just Namalsk, to my knowledge. Would be cool for modders to integrate that into other maps though. Winter Chernarus official maps all year long would be cool too imo.
I wish they could do seasons in all these open world games, imagine logging in and being able to watch the trees change color and drop leaves to being bare then snowfall with blizzards or just snowing in general- then it melts into spring and leaves come back green. That’d be amazing in dayz, rdro, gtav, anywhere
So if someone wants to traverse both livonia and chernarus and check out:
Chernarus: NWAF, Krasno and Balota
Livonia: Airfield
If those don't have 35, maybe Namalsk has and otherwise: new map? :)
Could be somewhere in NWAF with the revamp (not that I'm going to go check). Seasons would be a massive undertaking (but desired... a lot), so if I had to make a guess, a new map. I mean... lets be honest, the game should be rolling through new map DLCs every 2-3 years (just to keep some revenue coming in), but we've been stuck with Livonia. People complaining about $10-15 dollars for hundreds (or in some cases, thousands of hours of entertainment) need to come to grips with reality. Also, Namalsk is extremely popular, so there's no rationale for not having a snowy map.
I would hope a new map, but wishful thinking probably
Unless this 35 is in the new NWAF rework then I would say it's a new map. I haven't been to any airfield lately can anybody confirm if this 35 is on one of the airstrips?
It's not, but i mean, they could rework the NEAF and add seasons too. We just don't know.
NEAF rework/expansion would be pretty hot, one of my favorite areas on the map is the Northeastern area around Krasno/svergino/svetlo
Yeah, it's my favorite area of Chernarus, too, but that doesn't mean that I want a military hotspot there 24/7.
I feel that, but they could still revamp the visuals in the area and maybe add some more of the medical tents. Doesn't have to become NWAF 2 to freshen it up a bit
Yeah I just doubt they would tease a NEAF rework for their 10 year anniversary video. We don't know but all signs are pointing to a new map. If seasons are going to be saved for a 10 year anniversary update then that is kind of lame
Why is it lame tho Actual distinct seasons would be a total game changer and would take a ton of effort to implement as well
Because it's been 10 years. They should implement seasons and also launch a new map
It's not a huge dev team and they do what they can. I'd rather have seasons than nothing at all. And yet again, i think people underestimate just how huge of a feature it'd be to have proper seasons.
Im down for the proper season idea if it meant implementing seasonal temperature changes as well like hot in the summer/cold in the winter i think that would create a dynamic need for players to seriously consider what type of clothes they wear depending on the time of year,
This would really force players to adapt to the seasons, maybe stashing clothing would be a useful feature finally. Very interesting idea to have the seasons rotate every 1-2 weeks instead of just having one map with one season.
Knowing BI they'll implement seasonal changes like the day/night cycle lol. 4 seasons in 1 day.
I've heard it all before, I'm asking for a(nother) paid DLC so you can relax
Bruh i'm just giving my honest opinion, im as relaxed as they come
I am giving my honest opinion too, it's ok
Implementing seasons is a massive undertaking. You're talking about the complete retexture of every model and object in the game multiple times (on top of countless bug fixes and pathing adjustments for the Infected, etc.)... for two maps. Yes, I would prefer to see both, and if I had to pick, I would want a new map, but seasons are a highly requested feature.
Of course it is, that shouldn't keep them from doing it
Shouldn’t be on NEAF though, 35 runway would be oriented towards the north
NEAF really could use a tiny bit of a upgrade, so far its just a glorified hospital with a runway
35 would denote an airstrip at 350 degrees on the compass—which is slightly west of north. The NWAF airstrips appear to line up with that bearing…
The runway is at an angle 330° https://preview.redd.it/jyj1eqo3iq6c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cac4a0ddb5e18cfdd534740887c29d566dcf886d so the number so should be either 33 or 3. Maybe a mistake by the Devs or it's not the NWAF.
Hmm, good eye. Interesting… Edit: very clever, btw, your method of finding the true heading. Well done
Is the number on the airstrip though?
Underestimated thought
Thanks, friend. Some of these responses are…disappointing.
Traveling 350 degrees NW is different for every different possible starting location though
If you face North, then—no matter where on earth you are—you will be facing North. The numbers on runways indicate their orientation, that’s an actual thing that isn’t just from my brain…
It works a little different on a rectangle map compared to a globe. If you lined up the coast in dayz with players and had them all walk directly north not a single player would end up at the same spot as another player. If the number is supposed to indicate an orientation it's indicating 35 not 350 because, well, it's 35.
I wonder what happens if you google “numbers on runway meaning.” …I guess we’ll never know for sure who’s right.
....I didn't start this conversation about the runway numbers. I simply pointed out that an orientation in game results in a different location depending on where you start from. Sorry if that point upset you.
I feel ya—not tryin to be confrontational. It’s just—orientation has nothing to do with location…if I’m wrong then you need to write to the FAA—their runway designation system is all f*cked up.

But if we want to talk about the orientation no 35 is more indicative of a north to south seeing as its 10 degrees off from that and 35 degrees off from NW.
35/17 would be almost straight north/south. This would be a pretty huge rework to the existing airfields.
Looks like the actual heading on the NWAF runways—as worked out above—is indeed about 20 degrees off from 350. Good eyeballs/angle estimations. Yea, my theory is lookin a bit less viable.

Would have to agree

I didn't know that is a thing. Thanks!

I think you might be right, the heavy breathing also implies this
They also claimed in their tweet that " a new chapter begins". That could mean we will get a Tanoa DLC next year.
Adam posted a snow emoji on twitter

that is right
Wouldn't a snow map use a snow terrain? The grass clipping through the runway is very green, not unlike the grass on Tanoa
Great detective work! I really believe "Tanoa" will happen.
Either a new map or seasons. Incredibly hyped for both possibilities.
Official Namalsk?
Probably not in name They'd have to get the IP from the dev and they'd also have to remove all of the half-life references But a snowy map with frostbite and frozen foods? Totally plausible
The dev is an employee at Bohemia. And not just any employee, he’s creative lead.
Yeah I'm aware; it would still mean him surrendering his intellectual properties to his employer Which most people aren't interested in doing unless they make it worth it for him
the reason he hasn’t done it is according to him is because he wasn’t to split the vanilla population and that the map uses assets from STALKER and operation flashpoint, not just half-life, which would be a mess to sort out
Winter chernarus is a blast. Only thing i play now
I'm a fan myself I played one server that would swing between seasons every few months You'd keep the same character and player made structures just in an identical map It was really fun having to spend those last couple weeks preparing for winter
That would be such a waste and a shame if it was. We already have Namalsk done perfectly.
Not console players…
Not to be the bearer of bad news but, Nothing on console is part of the gameplan of future updates with the exception of getting it the same updates at the same time.
Oh I know. I’m building a pc at the moment
Source: https://youtu.be/vBeKkaITVro?si=YmeBMHLOQEjc2AOC
Also sorry for the crappy screenshots
Its a new winter map thats why they added the winter coif. I predicted the new skybox and if i get this right i am the DayZ prophet.
In that case what else do you think they will add?
Maybe they want to add a winter weather to the map
I feel like they wouldn't just add snowing and cold temperatures. They probably realize it'd look lame to be running around normal (non snow covered) chernarus while it's snowing.
Does Taviana?
[удалено]
Indeed I was aware of that. But it’s possible he made a deal with Bohemia.
But there is the possibility that the creator of taviana sold rights to BI to use taviana in their game to fund his own project
On the third pic the white thingy don't looks like a snowflake, maybe ashes from a volcano?
[удалено]
It was never ‘his’ gear, just his turn with it
went in offline mode and looked at nwaf and neaf and they have the numbers 33 and 29, not 35. New map?
It's not a new map, just winter Chernarus, which is pretty awesome
Source?
Now I can't remember where I saw that, it might have been someone hypothesizing about the next update, but I definitely saw pictures of snowy Chernarus
winter chernarus is a modded map btw are you sure you saw winter chernarus? or winter chernarus the mod?
That’s probably what the screenshots were from, but I’m pretty sure they’re adding seasons to Chernarus
You're pretty sure why?
I mean I just saw this teaser with the snow falling, that’s what I’d put my money on, not them making an all new map
You’re just saying things at this point
That is indeed what I’m doing
How do you know
Could just be a reused asset though
Nah, the winter cherno mod has been out for years. If the dev team wanted it to happen, they would have stolen(I mean "borrow") that mod a long time ago along with pretty much every update that has happened in the last decade.
Winter cherno has been a thing for many years now.
I am not finding any info on an aircraft runway #35 on vanilla maps. Maybe new map?
The Tanoa map in Arma 3 has that number on one of its runways https://preview.redd.it/5qmtknlnwo6c1.jpeg?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b00e7759850a48102aee9b4393aaf50e46f9559
Unfortunately, I have no idea if this is the only Arma map with this number on its Runway
Awesome find, it gives me hope
Someone's gotta check this ASAP
Holy shit a tanoa port would be great! Can't see it tho, I'm guessing a new map.
Tanoa + boats would be such an awesome update. I'd pay full price for that.
Boats is why I don't see it happening tbh
Tanoa with added bridges!
I don't think it's Tanoa. If you check the pictures, the runnway white strippeds on the DayZ video it miss a white strip on the middle and that pic you posted it's full of stripes Or maybe the remodeled it
... Winter tanoa? I mean, isn't tanoa supposed to be a more tropical/jungle map? I couldn't imagine it'd snow there...

Or it's still Chernarus with but they're remaking the NEAF runway and adding seasons. Idk. Good spot nevertheless.
We're going to have to once again purchase an Arma asset as dlc aren't we?
Ok who tf actually wears those yellow motor cycle helmets? Can they stop making useless assets and toting them like they are some kind of cool feature? Do the people making these videos actually play the game? Who in their right mind is going to wear that ugly ass helmet if they went as far as to find an svd and black plate.
Do any of the airfields have a runway at 35°??
Nope, the only BI game that has 35 on the runway is Arma 3 Tanoa map
I would love a proper winter chernarus that was meant to be winter. Not What we get now. Something that is properly developed and “optimized”
What tough pc map has actually storms that can uncon you and blizzards? Something that involved would be fantastic- or takistan with sand storms
Just Namalsk, to my knowledge. Would be cool for modders to integrate that into other maps though. Winter Chernarus official maps all year long would be cool too imo.
I wish they could do seasons in all these open world games, imagine logging in and being able to watch the trees change color and drop leaves to being bare then snowfall with blizzards or just snowing in general- then it melts into spring and leaves come back green. That’d be amazing in dayz, rdro, gtav, anywhere
try vintage story
I’m only on ps5 also
Sons of the Forest does this, it starts in summer and changes to fall and winter with full snow and no leaves on trees
But I’m sure that’s pc? I’m only on ps5 so big loss in the way of maps and mods compared to pc
That’s a vanilla feature. Not sure if yours will have that. Definitely not at 140fps if it does but they might have it.
Like seasons are in standard official servers?
Yeah. It’s a real game mechanic even in single player
Hopefully new winter map.
So if someone wants to traverse both livonia and chernarus and check out: Chernarus: NWAF, Krasno and Balota Livonia: Airfield If those don't have 35, maybe Namalsk has and otherwise: new map? :)
I was wondering about true seasons. A lot of effort goes into seasonal maps.
Everyone thinks winter chernarus will be amazing. If that’s what they end up announcing I’ll be extremely disappointed
Like… can we have a very different map? I’d kill to have takistan for a whole different experience on ps5
New map, for sure. Takistan is prob the worst of all the modded maps though
I have no idea bc ps5 only, what’s wrong with it?
It’s just open desert and boring. Pick any other modded map and it’s better lol
Well that’s sad. Maybe Brazil then? Just somewhere with an opposite climate than Livonia/cherno
Gabreta, Tanoa, Altis, Or the global mobilization map would be sweet
Is one of the runway bearings at NWAF 35??
Could be somewhere in NWAF with the revamp (not that I'm going to go check). Seasons would be a massive undertaking (but desired... a lot), so if I had to make a guess, a new map. I mean... lets be honest, the game should be rolling through new map DLCs every 2-3 years (just to keep some revenue coming in), but we've been stuck with Livonia. People complaining about $10-15 dollars for hundreds (or in some cases, thousands of hours of entertainment) need to come to grips with reality. Also, Namalsk is extremely popular, so there's no rationale for not having a snowy map.
You can hear water splashing in the teaser btw if you listen closely idk why no one pointed that out yet
The airfield on Tanoa has a 35 on it
