About your Islaland Pic from the previous Page.It fits for me ,too but you could darken the sand a little bit more.The Sky and the water are looking well.
Like in this Pic:

You could add a Island or implement a Area like in the Pic below and put in a Secret Cave/Base or something in it.

I like the new cliffs, and they do look like the ones from "Lehon/Rakata Prime." My advice check the Spira:Besaid assets, and Squeddies Objects Pack. Lots tropical stuff you could use, other than that. Try using a lot of flyers, not vehicles you ride in. Just prop flyers.(dropping bombs maybe, in Campaign at least)(If you are doing a Campaign that is)

i quite like the brightness of the sand actually. it gives the map a kinda more exotic feel, i'm not sure if thats what you're going for, but it looks good to me. the new beachhead looks stunning!

I really like the atmosphere of this map, with the water, sand, and tropical trees. I think it all fits in and blends nicely. Good luck continuing it. :D

Alright, here's the scoop. I discovered the function of NearSceneRange(if anyone wants to know exactly, just ask) in the sky file and was successfully able to make my map much more appealing! :D now that ive grinded out that major bugger, i'd say this is nearing beta. As i really want to get rolling on another map pack series when school gets out, ive decided to make campaign later for this map, probably over the summer, and release a public Selva Prime Conquest Beta after the private betas in a few weeks. So here's some updates i'd like to share :)

again, this is merely the starting point of the map, as it is very large :) In the next update expect to see a mini/secret island as per alex's suggestion, and the back side of the volcano :D

(i am aware of the texture bugs in sky, terrain etc, im working on them. also,there are a few random CTDs i need to get figured out before beta aswell) As per the CIS, expect a more original customized droids side soon

This may or may not be related to some of your current CTDs, but just be careful with NearScene and FarSceneRange settings, since setting them too high in maps with a lot of water can cause a CTD.

setting them too high may overload his pc causing a crash it's not that he set up the level wrong it's just that the game cannot handle a lot of rendering sometimes

This is looking epic. If you need anything, jsut tell me. I have a couple of suggestions, though:
A small village using Wookie. Adds to the ambiance.
For the fishies: Add Rogue's.
Also, if you need anything else model-wise, just ask meh. :)

yes i am well aware of that possible issue, i tested with about 5 different values and some did result in a CTD. ALso, thats where ill benefit form beta testing because my laptop is not known for handling high graphics
