Add a few airports to the NTTR map

Recommended Posts

Yup, I noticed this too. First thing I did when I fired up the Nevada map was to fly over the key locations from Fallout New Vegas (I quite like that game). Searchlight (about as far south as you can go before they stopped bothering to detail stuff) should have an airport, but it's only visible as the low res discolorations in the desert you describe. Think I saw one at Primm as well, though google earth suggests otherwise. (On the subject of Primm, ED forgot to add the rollorcoaster there, though I don't think many people are going to be flying to the south end of the map anyway)

DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

Afaik, only Tonopah is on the menu. The focus is on the military theater/operations airfields. There's so much to do first, I don't think we'll see more civilian airfields anytime soon (and imho, it’s better that way).

 

The Yucca runway/airfield is partially modeled (east of the salt flat) but without any AI logic (36°55'39"N, 116°00'28"W).

Add a few airports to the NTTR map

 

I explored the current NTTR map and I really like what I see. The only thing is the active size of possible operations. With some minor set dressing in the outskirts of the map and a few extra airfields the NTTR map would be complete. Currently the map is a bit small especially since supersonic aircrafts are at the DCS development horizon.

 

Is adding some objects to the Nevada map in the planning?

 

Some airfield suggestions:

- Tonopah

- Laughlin

- Mesquite (something is already prepared there)

- Bolder city

 

 

 

If someone has an idea please elaborate.

:)

Tonopah at least needs to be added really. If they do anything, do these two. It allows the use of the whole map for PVP scenarios, and would infinitely improve the usability of the NTTR map as a whole. They are already in the map, just need to be implemented. Extending the map is unlikely, so using these two makes much better sense IMO.

Nothing is stopping ED from stitching additional map pieces to the existing NTTR map down the line. They know that we will eat this up and pay $$$ for it. I'm all for it! :)

If you look at the sectional you will see that the NTTR is only part of a much larger range complex. Were the map to be expanded to include all of these areas, then we would have a larger number of airfields to choose from and make scenarios with, such as:

 

Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Expeditionary Air Field (MCAGCC EAF)

Edwards Main

Edwards South

Edwards Aux North

Roger dry lakebed

Palmdale/Plant 42

SoCal Logistics Airfield (aka SCLA - formerly George AFB)

Mojave

NAS China Lake

Goldstone (Ft. Irwin)

Bicycle Lake (Ft. Irwin)

Bullhead City (Laughlin, NV/Bullhead City, AZ)

Lake Havasu

Needles

Fox Field (Lancaster, CA)

Grey Butte

El Mirage

Daggett

Barstow

 

In this way I think the map would match the same scale and flexibility of the Black Sea region map.

Don't forget NAS Fallon, home of top gun! And NAS Lemoore is home to more than just the RAG squadron. It the entire fleet of F/A-18A-F for the Pac Fleet. Minus Japan of course.

No, it was MCAS Miramar that was the home of Top Gun (Fighter Town).

Don't forget El Toro,Tustin,Twentynine Palms,Camp Pendelton MCB,El Centro NAF,North Island NAS,Norton AFB/San Bernardino Int.Airport,March AFB in the inland empire of California.Palmdale AF Plant 42 would be cool to see too.Also, what about Alameda/Moffet Field NASs & McClellan/Beale/Castle AFBs and other Northern California military airfield bases both opened and closed.I would love to see ED expand the map to the whole pacific region of the US for training and other things.:thumbup:

Ah ok, thank you for the answer! Yeah, I forgot to add that this is Tonopah Test Range Airport, thanks for the picture Silver_Dragon :thumbup:
