Here is a link that shows various military bases in Australia: https://www.google.com/search?q=military+bases+in+australia&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS967US967&biw=1536&bih=746&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=AOaemvIfmrPeokAdUhalhVGTn96dSYsWwQ%3A1637025911352&ei=dwiTYdD3FKGKytMP866w4Ak&oq=military+bases+in+australia&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.0.22138.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.IIAuOUxMZJU#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:[[-10.900524899999999,155.6314183],[-39.351374899999996,113.78761030000001]];tbs:lrf:!1m4!1u3!2m2!3m1!1e1!1m4!1u2!2m2!2m1!1e1!1m4!1u16!2m2!16m1!1e1!1m4!1u16!2m2!16m1!1e2!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e16!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2 There are military bases on the northwest, north side, and northeast side of Australia. Some neighboring countries close to Australia are Singapore, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. For mission creators, they can use Australian bases for friendly forces to launch against hostile forces as in World War II scenarios. To the southeast of Australia, there is New Zealand. Here is a link to a map that shows various military bases in New Zealand: https://www.google.com/maps/search/military+bases+in+new+zealand/@-39.8827622,168.1054184,6z. New Zealand can be used to create friendly bases for allied forces as well as create harbors for friendly navies. It can be used to create missions or campaigns in a WW2 scenario. For the sake of variety, the same information could be used to create campaigns or missions in modern times. Should ED create WW2 or modern bombers, Australia or New Zealand can be used as based for friendly forces. I read your comments about the significant distance between Australia and Antarctica. For virtual pilots that want to create missions (and related YouTube videos) on these endurance-type missions, this map provides the platform and inspiration. Creative minds can create intriguing backstories, can place things/resources/installations (and much more). To make the transoceanic flights more enjoyable, ED can add a "time compression" feature that speeds the mission along in designated time increments. New pilots to DCS get the opportunity to practice air-to-air refueling and flight management. Martine assets like carriers and destroyers can be placed anywhere as part of a mission or campaign. ED can add the option for random flight issues, which provides virtual pilots with challenges. In turn, they can share the information with others what happened and the lessons learned. A realistic one-way trip between Australia and Antarctica is approximately 4,000 miles with an estimated flight time of 12-14 hours. As for Antarctica today, it has no natural resources and is mostly uninhabited. At best, there are some research stations that collect weather data and ice core samples. Idle minds might be inspired to create backstories for missions/campaigns on why fixed wing aircraft are flying such a great distance to either defend or to attack. Some man-made islands might be added that are conducive to human habitation for various purposes. Maybe a natural resource is discovered and it has potentials that might or might not benefit others.

I clicked on the discord link. I get an error that says "failed to load."

With the passage of time, I agree that ED will create a global map. In the meantime, I express what I would like to see. While ED can create maps, they are likely to prioritize certain maps based on end-user's comments.

I saw your forum post and applied to join on your website. I want to join.

Can DCS World create a map featuring Australia and its neighbors? I would like for the Australia map to also include part of Antarctica.

ED or an interested contractor can create a map for Australia. They make a map similar to the other maps available.

Hello. Are you accepting new pilots?

Hello. Are you looking for new pilots? I am new to DCS.

Hello. Are you accepting new pilots? I am new to DCS.

Are you still accepting new pilots?

I agree a Viet Nam map or a map of southeast Asia would be great. Allowing to add WW 2 planes as well as the modern jets would allow for a variety of missions and campaigns.

Here is a suggestion. Can ED create an online map for Australia?

Are you still looking for pilots? I clicked on the Discord link and it did not work properly.

There are some things I want in DCS World. I want the ability to lay sea mines (mine laying ships, ability to drop sea mines from aircraft, and the ability to clear sea mines). The sea mine capability is for the WW 2 campaigns as well as in all other current and future maps. For the weather, add the ability to create hail, control the size/frequency of hail, and that the model damaging resulting from hail is accurately modeled on all aircraft, ships, and personnel. Improve the visual effects in wet weather for the plane's tires. That is, create the water spray that is created when the planes are taxiing on taxiways or are taking/landing on runways. Can we add napalm bombs? This is good for Korean War and Viet Name missions and campaigns. Can you make napalm available for the current generation jets?

Happy Veteran's Day to our military veterans. Thank you for all who defended as well as those currently defending America.

Any updates when the helicopter will be ready?

Thank you for the response and updates. While I understand that the Eurofighter, A-6E, F-4E, and F-1 are still in the works with release dates range from 2022 to 2023, I feel encouraged that the South Atlantic Map is likely to appear sometime in 2022.

If the F-4E would be offered as an official module, then many (including me) are very likely to buy it and fly it. To the development team working on the F-4E, please keep working on it. Many virtual pilots will enjoy it.

As for a China map, I believe any perceived controversy might help increase sales as well as promote discussions.

I would be happy with the Exocet missiles for anti-shipping.
