HansRoaming Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Will these work with the normal DCS so for example one could create new maps to fly in for DCS World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Maps and aircraft will be interchangeable between DCS World and DCS WWII, it's been stated many times. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Slipp Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Will we be able to implement maps, built by us, into the game ourselves or will they need to be authorized/implemented by the offical game producers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 IF map SDK tools ever get released, you will, unless you want to sell anything you make as official content for the sim, that's where authorization, licensing, authorization etc comes in. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

I believe it was already stated by an RRG Member that the exporting functions of the Backer Map tools would be disabled. Basically, you have the tools to expand the DCS WWII Map, save a project file and send to RRG to export and include, or something along those lines.

gavagai Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 In my opinion, allowing players to make maps and use them would be very helpful to DCS WWII's success. WWII is a huge theater, and the demand for maps will vastly outstrip the developer's production capacity. Lots of maps = higher demand for new aircraft and excitement about the title.

HotTom Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 WWII wasn't a theater. Europe (ETO -- European Theater of Operations) was a theater. Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that they will be generous with their approvals. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, you have the tools to expand the DCS WWII Map, save a project file and send to RRG to export and include, or something along those lines. I still don't understand this decision and we never got a solid answer on what the SDK that we were buying into really entailed. I feel like it will create a large burden on RRG and any map makers. Anyone who has developed something knows how many iterations it will go through, hundreds if not thousands. I understand that the EDGE viewer can visually test the map environment, but we still don't know if it will be sufficient to create a map from scratch. Would be interested in hearing any updates on what the SDK actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentLaw Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I feel like it will create a large burden on RRG and any map makers.The main burden, as I implied with my earlier post in this thread, will be all of the frivolous maps that get submitted. I can pretty much guarantee that I will be submitting some frivolous maps if I can't export my own. Not for the sake of harassment, but because simple maps can still have some gameplay value, and variety is nice. Also, where else am I going to find a perfectly flat, straight strip of pavement 50 km long?
