Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I don't know if this is feasible for the Normandy map mission planner, but it would be nice to use the Luftwaffe's Jäger-Gradnetzkarte (fighter gridmap) for Axis side. source: http://www.stormbirds.com/eagles/research/gradnetz/gradnetz.html
Altflieger Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 That's about the size of map DCS Europe 1944 should have. If we're going to be serious about it...
El Hadji Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Yup! Couldn't agree more. Just release the map SDK to the public and we will probably be able to fly London-Okinawa in a few months.

Belphe Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I hope the devs knew what they were doing when naming their sim "dcs WORLD"... ;) 1 Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Altflieger Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 DCS 20 min Pleasure flights over Normandy beaches, doesn't quite have the same ring to it though...
El Hadji Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 ...well it does have a better ring to it than 'DCS I'm still stuck at the Black Sea' though. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My computer specs below: CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K@4.2GHz | CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100 | GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 680 2GB Lightning 2GB VRAM @1.3GHz | RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600 | SSD 1: Corsair Force 3 120GB (SATA 6) | SSD 2: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (SATA 6) | Hybrid disc: Seagate Momentus Hybrid 500/4GB (SATA 3) | Keyboard: QPAD MK-85 | Mouse: QPAD 5K LE | TrackIR 5 + Track Clip Pro | Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog | MFG Crosswind | OS: Win7/64
SAM77 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 So much potential to be realised.

Altflieger Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 It's a great irony that what we fly over now, in 1943, was where one of the greatest air battles took place, as the Germans retreated across the Kuban back to the Crimea. Made the Battle of Britian, in terms of action look like a side show, but with no Russian fighters and an odd late war selection of planes, it's a non starter. Could have been hell of a sim though. If only someone had thought about it. Are we getting an SDK? Hope so. Luftwaffe map club, lol!
