Thanks for the update, Higher level of detail on the terrain! Wow! Judging by the screenshots and how FC looks currently this will seem like a new sim. Sounds like the bigger announcement is the misson editor and if your "targets" are smarter. Saved the money now paitiently waiting....:thumbup:

I could seriously make a phone call and get a price on some GIS data the problem is getting it into the game. http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=10&scr=list&lang=en here they show how it goes from GIS to Loc-on, However all throughout the forum they say that getting new maps is impossible, something about the code. The other thing to consider is how many square miles are in loc-on now? How much of that actually has 3d terrain and settlements, becides most of the area that is flyable in LOMAC is over water. What happens to file sizes if you put all of Scandinavia in 3d into the game. Oh and all the settlements and buildings are manually placed, a new map could take a very long time to complete. :huh: Sure I would love to have a new map even if it isn't entirely complete, however I can see ED's point of view about the can of worms that would be opened if someone created a map of say Korea/Japan/China, the wining for new flyables would be unbearable. A map of Northern Europe would require British flyables as well as the F-16 flyable with nato markings and anything else I may of left out, new ground units. Heck I just described a new game.:doh:

That would be a very large map, to show Russian Bases as well as bases in The UK. Could Loc-on handle something that big? Still it would be cool to have Northern Europe as a map. Show me how to create a map I can get all the GIS data we need. :smilewink:

Is this the reason we saw so many more static objects like buildings and containers come out in Flaming Cliffs? I noticed on annother forum that people ar building hangars that did not exist in the game with the comm center. They are even adding troops. They just need 3 or 4 open slots that lob different types types of increcingly larger munitions at you in the game. one for small arms, annother for 50 cal types, man portable artillary (mortars), and maybe a sniper. It only makes sense that troops and groung crews could and should be added after all BS will bring you closer to the ground, I bet we will see this again in future annoncements or a screenshot. Afterall they have put some prettygood people in the vehicles. Imagine how challenging urban warefare would be if all your target were man sized. This could add alot of realisim to CAS missions. Dont hit any friendlies!!!!

I say yes, I have waited this long for 1.2. The level of detail in this flight sim is phenominal comared to others why not wait a little longer to make it better. The detail put into ground units rivals first person shooters they should be putting that same level into the planes we can fly.
