IMHO the NTTR map is fantastic and a job well done by ED. I think it's real use is for training, which isn't a bad thing by any stretch. I'm not just referring to those new to DCS or flight sims (imagine back to when you first started......you begin flight training, weapons deployment, refueling, etc. at NTTR....knowing you are going to use the skills you develop in a combat theatre later on). When the Mirage is released, I plan on doing all training on the aircraft at NTTR before taking it to the Black Sea. I happen to enjoy practice/training....maybe because I need it more than most. The Strait of Hormuz map is what I'm really waiting for.
