- In ArmA 2 returned value is "#UTGRASS" for natural surface and "#UTCONCRETE" for urban surface.

- Only seems to return either "#GRASSSOUTH" or "#GRASSGENERAL", even when you're in a building or in water.

- Another returned value is "#SANDGENERAL". However, when providing an exact [x,y] position the "surfaceType" function seems to return the general surface type of the environment rather than the exact type on that given position.
