Duckman Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 This may be a stupid question, and apologies in that case, but I can't find much information about new maps in development. There are tons of good looking aircraft from different periods, but there seems to be no overarching theme. Is the plan to make maps (and AI objects etc) for various historical and current scenarios, or are the P-40, F-86 and the like intended for free flight à la MSFS over Normandy and the Crimea?

Its believed the map is not very far along at all, and delivery date of said map backs that up.

Duckman Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 I know about those two, but one is a training range and the other won't really fit anything except a subset of WWII or fairly weird hypothetical scenarios (Sabres over Normandy?). What I'm wondering is where aircraft like the P-40, Meteor, MiG-15, Skyhawk, Bearcat, and A-7 will fit in. Or perhaps don't they have to fit in somewhere?
Silver_Dragon Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 For now, no Partners or 3rd Parties has put official news over a new theatres on develop. Need wait to ED release EDGE and give the SDK to start make them.

Duckman Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the replies. I see in the projetcts thread that a coupe of map/theater projects have been cancelled before, so it seems there has been developer interest at least. I think the best would be some good dual use maps, e.g. Korea which can be used for historical as well as hypothetical conflicts from the 1950s onwards or a Central Europe map that can be used for WWII as well as cold war hypotheticals. We'll see, I guess.
Flagrum Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I doubt that any new maps will be released for Lock On 1 or 2 .......
