Coxy_99 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 As its been asked a thousand times before im sure, We have ED making a northern france map for the late World War two fighters, Now as i understand VEAO are making spitfires and so, Are there any chances to make a London to Calais map for the VEAO's era of aircraft IF there going down that route? I.E a DCS version of IL-2 Cliffs of Dover.
Northstar98 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 +1 great idea, I'd love an English Channel sort of map. Buuuuuuut, IMHO, I'd rather ED fix everything they have so far (including hopefully a reworked Black Sea map).

Buzzles Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I think we might be surprised when the Normandy map comes out as to how much area it covers. I can't find the thread, but quite a while back ED were asking for historical information on airfields all over the south of England. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

I remember seeing the post not sure where it went, Be nice if it was as big as the original map.
Buzzles Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Aha! Found it: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135412 More precisely is post #10 by Wags: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2255640&postcount=10 All I can say at this time: "What we are looking for are all German fighter bases in northern France (north of Paris) / west of Calais and all allied airbases in southern England south of London but east of Exeter." That's a pretty much 90% of the South of England. The Cornish bits are the only thing missing. Edited February 14, 2016 by Buzzles Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Silver_Dragon Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Take account, the actual map with Wags talk can be the Medium / High definition zone, If take account the actual NTTR dimensions, the map surely can be expanded. Surely Hormuz take the same way.

Coxy_99 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 When the 1944 map gets made, As you pointed out info on south east england airfields, Seen as the B-17 was heavily used from the UK at that time, Wouldnt they have to included places like middlenhall, Where airfields were big enough to land and take off? Not sure if you could class that as south east? Unless they were also stationed at manston id have to look it up.
