Add a few airports to the NTTR map

4's not really a lot. One is VERY limited. FWIW you can edit a carrier on and get more ships with copy paste, which allows more space for Su-33's, which on some bases seem limited in the parking spots they can use along with 27's, tomcats, hornets and other 'large' jets.

 

Not very realistic, but again it gets more runway in the map. Don't forget FARPs for choppers either.

 

If you want a map where it's been done already happy to share...

In my opinion Tonopah is a real need. This morning I was re-reading first chapter of Vipers in the Storm, in which it is described a green flag exercise in NTTR (a ground attack against a SA-8 site with Air to Air opposition). Enemy forces use Tonopah airport and friendly forces use Nellis AFB . The main problem in NTTR is the short distances in between airports currently developed.

Tonopah, Laughlin and Boulder would be prime additions and greatly enhance the map's usability for more general scenarios. I'd put Tonopah at the top of the list though as it looks like it would work the best for a north/south scenario. It's also a military base, so that's a bonus and is relevant to the whole NTTR training thing too. NTTR as it stands is a good map though limited in functionality, but with a little more effort it can be great with lots of possible uses. :)

I don't think so, but afaik ED only shares the required tools with serious third parties partners showing solid background and experience.

Indeed and also:

Week end News

stating that:

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range (NTTR) Map Update

 

A key part of bringing the NTTR map out of early access is fleshing out the number of airfields, towns, and landmarks. As for the airfields, we are adding several new military and civilian locations to operate from:

Tonopah Test and Training Range (TTR) Airfield

Pahute Mesa Airstrip

Mellan Airstrip

Mina Airstrip

Tonopah Airport

Beatty Airport

Lincoln County Airport

Mesquite Airport

Echo Bay Airport

North Las Vegas Airport

Henderson Executive Airport

Boulder City Municipal Airport

Jean Airport

Laughlin Airport

 

Not only do these new airfields provide a wealth of new possibilities for single player missions, they also provides much greater distances between airfields (Tonopah to Laughlin for example) for multiplayer matches. Progress on the updated map is going well and we expect to release later in 2016.

May I ask to add the old and new Desert Rock airfields? If you would like a hand-drawn approach plate I have one. They were used by the Dept of Energy for A-Bomb testing, and now I believe the new Desert Rock is used as an Aux field for UAV testing. I'm not 100% on this.

Add my vote for a some more content in NW Nevada. Lake Tahoe, Carson City, and especially Reno, Fernley, and Fallon. Also, don't forget the Tahoe Reno Industrial Park, home to the brand spankin new Tesla Gigafactory. Just begging for some ordnance, if you ask me. ;) Love tesla, but lots of lithium? Yes please!
