I operate in and out of the NTTR in real world. I don't think anyone that has good knowledge of the area, thinks that the map is bad, but they can see that there is more room to invite more users to the NTTR map. Almost daily we work side by side with the US Navy out of NAS Fallon. Yes, this is a complete map to a degree, but the Air Force is on a kick right now for total force integration both with the Air Force as a whole, and US air assets DoD wide. So to incorporate both Naval and Air Force services to one map to test and train as you said would only make this map that much better. You brought up Red Flag, testing, and training for this map which is in the name, NTTR. So break it down and then you can understand why DCS pilots want more.
Red Flag- Training that encompasses both US and NATO countries. (WA Aggressor paints and tail flash)
Testing- HQ for the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron (OT tail flash)
Training- Home of the US Air Forces Weapon School, used to be Fighter Weapon School prior to Total Force Integration (WA tail flash)
Perfection- Home of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Team
With the NTTR uses pointed out, why not add the airports that are already in the graphics that you can make out at high altitudes, like China Lake and NAS Fallon. NAS Fallon is the home of the world famous Top Gun School house. NAS Lemoore is the home of "B Course" school house for the Hornet, (Yes, Super Hornet I know), but still an important base. With the DCS Hornet and Tomcat having such a large following, it would only but make sense to have some Navy bases in the map since there is no place to put a carrier. Also, what a lot of people don't know is planes don't always takeoff from Nellis AFB to conduct a training mission in the NTTR.
So with all this said, I would strongly agree that the NTTR Map should be updated with further airfields, Military and civilian: NAS Fallon, NAS Lemoore, Edwards AFB, China Lake, Kingman Airport, and St. George Airports.
