Brisse Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Hello! With 2.0 supporting the ability to add new maps, and carrier ops soon being a more important part of DCS, I think it makes sense to add a map with just open sea. I can't imagine that would take much work effort to implement, right? With little work effort involved, it would make sense if it was released as another free map next to Caucasus. Thoughts? 1

Cool idea, I would even go one further and say a 'fantasy' map with two smallish islands on each side (maybe a neutral one in the middle for a goal) with a airfield might make for a fun experience. Using existing art objects, you would think it would be reasonable to do. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**

Brisse Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I'm fine with small land mass, and I'm fine with fantasy aspects as long as the work effort on the developers is within reason so that they can make it a free addition. It's not because I'm greedy, but free means everyone will have access to it right out of the box which is nice.

I'll fly the Huey to rescue her!! :D Sorry I derailed the topic again!! Great idea Brisse! I can see ED getting behind this.

Aginor Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Such a map has been suggested a few times already. I wish we had the map tools to just create it ourselves, as a community effort. I would create Midway Island or Wake Island and the water around it. Everything you need is there. I played around with a terrain mesh that would work (from USGS) myself. EDIT: Kiribati would also work I think. Unfortunately none of the registered 3rd parties or ED is doing something like that, or at least they aren't telling us.

toni Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 A portion of the Pacific would be cool......... Oahu island + Pearl Harbour !!! including mooring capability, and dynamic theatre, movement around the port , tugs, food transporters, fuel, ammunition,..........
Ragnarok Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 two small islands the size of the airport and only sea. nice :thumbup: “The people will believe what the media tells them they believe.” — George Orwell
ineth Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Well it would kinda rocks to have the posibility to make our own maps, but such a simple map as a preset would truly be good. I had a spinoff idea though. WW One planes. Did this ever came up? Greek/German origin. Flying sims since 1984. Using computers since 1977. Favored FS's:F/A18 Interceptor, F19 Stealth Fighter, Gunnship, F16 Combat Pilot, Flight of the Intruder, A320, Falcon 4.0, MSFS 2004-X, DCS
Aginor Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 @Toni much too large. The plan is to aim for a small island. @ineth WW1 is pretty much covered in ROF. ED wrote in their newsletter they aim for WW2 and later. So yeah, we talk about it now and then here on the forums, but there isn't too much demand for WW1 planes.

lobo Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Nice idea. I would go for the generic small airport islands. (sinkable carriers would be nice one day) Oh and Ginger btw. ;) Lobo's DCS A-10C Normal Checklist & Quick Reference Handbook current version 8D available here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/172905/

thryckz Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I believe Leatherneck is already making a map to suit carrier ops when they release the F-14. I imagine that this will be mostly open waters.
DaveRindner Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Game Of Thrones world. Just a little re imagining of GOT to modern world. House Stark DireWolf would look interesting as nose art on A-10 or KA-50.
Northstar98 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Fantastic idea! Buuuuut...
