Anklebiter Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 How cool would it be if we could get Middle Earth as terrain with Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and most particularly, Dragons. A flight of Hornets against a flight of Red Dragons and some wizard fire from the ground, taking out an army of Orcs. Hey, why not, right? You could practically use Caucuses for this, and skin some existing units. A mod might do it, but an offical add-on... heck yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anklebiter Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ahaha, come on folks. Perhaps you would not countenance ED spending their effort on this, but how dang cool would it be! I'd just love to get a screencap of an F-14 about to be bit into by a flying beast, or an army of Orcs getting blown to hell by some low flying A-10s. The world needs this.

I'd spend so much time on a map like that! You and likely millions more. Major increase of market, with tons of extra cash to polish modules, optimize and add all the dream planes still missing, like Intruder, Aardvark, Tornado, etc. I know it would alienate a certain small segment of the population, but think big picture! I'm sure will never happen, but a man can dream. I love DCS and only want the best for ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varis Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Dude... let's not go there. IPR issues are easily solvable with a small army of lawyers, but there is a single reason why not: The most traumatic and dividing question in the Tolkien fan community through the decades has been, "Do balrogs have wings?". Some renditions have naively taken the stance of one side while others have tried to skirt it eg. in the movie I thought I saw wings but I can't recall them from all the scenes, maybe there was just tons of CGI with fire and smoke effects so yeah I must have imagined it! The creature was scary as hell it even roared and eeriely reminded you of a minotaur. Plus Gandalf (one of the most badass characters you could claim) had to fight it in two separate movies. Then you propose to mate this with a highly detailed flight simulator. It would be the greatest war known on internet forums. PS. I still think balrogs could be modeled as a variable swept wing configuration. It's a kind of a hunch at the moment.

Weta43 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Middle Earth Terrain ? Been requested for years: Quote: Originally Posted by SkateZilla View Post New Zealand + 1000KMx1000KM of South Pacific East of it I've said that over and over... Same land area as a 500x500 km map, but 1600 km long (2 separate 800km long islands !) Maybe add the Chathams as an anchorage for carriers etc & get a 700km commute (1400km round trip) with only 30x30 km of extra land (take a little liberty & extend the runway/ramps slightly) Or NZ + Tasmania ? Still - what we're getting will be a good start Originally Posted by Harrydalzell View Post New Zealand I was on a Flight that went the length of the country today and thought this would be a great place as it has many different terrains and is used by a couple of countries for low-level jet training YES - at last someone else agrees I've been putting that in every map wishlist for years... Maybe take it over to a bit of Australia (NSW & Victoria gets you 8 RAAF bases + civilian airports - you only have to do the coast 'cause the rest of the country's empty :-) NI vs SI Varied terrain, plenty of regional tension between factions armed by different superpowers....

SonofEil Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I'm all in on a Middle Earth terrain as long as we get an official DCS: Enterprise -D. I can swoop down in my galaxy class starship and perform some polite diplomacy and possibly grant provisional membership to the Federation! … I'm not kidding. :) (especially now that Stage 9 is dead.:cry:) Edited November 25, 2018 by SonofEil i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Seriously ED or 3rd parties shouldn't waste their resources making Fantasy or Sci Fi Maps for what is Aircraft Simulator taking place in the real world as far as units and locations go.

Anklebiter Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) OP, you are not serious? Are you serious? Absolutely. I grew up playing games and loving fantasy. I also grew up loving aviation and SIMS. The two together would be like chocolate and peanut butter. Stuff like this is already in popular culture. "Independence Day" was brought up in this thread. You see "Infinity Wars"? This had militaryesque equipment going against an army of bug creatures. Another fantasy type scenario was the movie "Final Countdown"."King Kong", "Rampage", etc. etc. The list is long. Wouldn't have to be Middle Earth, although the flame wars comments are absolutely hilarious, and I'd love to participate. I've seen this type of request on other boards. There isn't really anything else like it out there. As mentioned, politically neutral too, so a good choice from that standpoint. There is a reason that there is "gaming" mode in DCS. This is not somehow "shameful" and does not detract from the enjoyment of those who prefer absolute historical accuracy. Heck with a good campaign engine, a good portion of this is just skinning.

Anklebiter Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 It occurs to me that games like Ace Combat already exist. Maybe I'm an edge case, but the high fidelity cockpit sim part is key. I really am interested in the planes themselves, if not the generic kill tank mission number 649.
