yendor Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Has anyone heard if any future active airports are being planned for the Nevada Map?

yendor Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 Sweeeet!!! THX for the quick reply! ...and the answer is: DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map is being enhanced with the addition of: Tonopah Air Force Base New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map The National Training Center (NTC) Improved grass and ground clutter Plus a host of minor improvements

KingKenny04 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I've seen people mention Fallon in the past. I did a little calculating with Google maps. Expanding the map size to 500km x 500km leaves enough room to include NAS Fallon, NAWS China Lake, NTC Fort Irwin, MCLB Barstow, and MCGACC Twentynine Palms. I figure most of that map would still be lowres open desert, with detail only around the airfields. Just a random thought. Maybe something to consider after Normandy, the F/A-18C, and Straits of Hormuz are done?

I like it. =P I'd be okay with high-rez airbases in the middle of nowhere, at least to give us the possibility of larger/longer missions. If you click on my beacon thread, there's a LOT of possibilities. Even Luke AFB is "on the map" technically. Davis Monthan is about ~100 miles too far south. I'd also like to see actual ocean near LA, to let us place carriers. My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E

I'd also like to see actual ocean near LA, to let us place carriers. I would think trying to cram in the Pacific and LA area would be pushing it. I understand the only map limitation is filesize, but to my knowledge NTTR as it is now is already like 20 gigs, so I'm not sure how much more they can cram into it and still justify the size. I think something like 500x500 that includes Fallon, NTTR, China Lake, NTC, and 29 Palms is plenty for a nice big map with lots if interesting features and possible scenarios i.e. Red Flag at NTTR, Top Gun at Fallon, Green Flag and Decisive Action at NTC Fort Irwin, and Mojave Viper at 29 Palms.

USSInchon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 They have stated in one of the previous news letters that the NTC was going to be added.
gospadin Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Yea. I think I'm alone, in that i'd accept lower resolution in exchange for larger maps. My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E
KingKenny04 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Yea. I think I'm alone, in that i'd accept lower resolution in exchange for larger maps. The nice thing about the desert areas around NTTR, NTC, and 29 Stumps is you dont need a whole lot of high poly objects for them to look great. A few base facilities and some of the "villages" on the training ranges is it. The rest of it can just be mostly flat textures and still look fantastic, since its mostly just open desert. The issue with trying to add something like Los Angeles is its a huge area with a TON of very distinct objects. You can't really "cheat" it with low res textures or low poly objects because with buildings and objects like that the low quality would really stand out.
