A2597 Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 For free, somewhere with Islands makes sense. More interesting, you could make two versions with minimal work, WW2 and Modern versions. (Same map data, just different structures)
kojdog Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Useless speculation, however: I believe it will be an air-quake leaning map set up for facilitating competitive MAC play.
dSAF Dancer Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Because I live in switzerland, I would love to have the swiss alps, but with all the cities and so on it would be way to expensive to give away for free. It is also to similar to the caucasus region, and does not have any sea-acces for carriers.

Shadoga Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I imagine North Atlantic with Iceland in the center a nice free map: Lots of open water for carrier ops, some ground to conquer, few buildings & trees make its creation not too costly for a free product. Including Faeroer Islands and maybe add some bases on the costal regions of Inverness, Bergen and eastern Greenland, that would give a huge and versatile playground. Red Storm Rising, anyone?
msalama Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 an air-quake leaning map set up for facilitating competitive MAC play That's definitely a possibility. But even a generic map can be good if it's visually attractive and versatile. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
twistking Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 For free, somewhere with Islands makes sense. More interesting, you could make two versions with minimal work, WW2 and Modern versions. (Same map data, just different structures) While i think one could expect more than just some island and lots of water from a new map (even if it is indeed free of charge), i agree that it would be cool to have a map with two versions, one catering to WWII/early cold war and the other roughly catering to late cold war/contemporary. If the map is set in a more remote area of the world, it could be enough to have different set of airfields, different civilian autogen and maybe some military infrastructure that would need to get changed to cater to a different time period.

Gerrard Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Korea map for the upcoming F16 +1 Seoul to Pyongyang with Yellow sea/Sea of Japan would be awesome!
The_Pharoah Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 You know what would be great? A South East Asian map!! ie. Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos/Thailand. This would allow us to do a proper Vietnam campaign (huey, Mi8, etc). We need jungle and lots of it!! Alternatively South America would be great eg.

Lixma 06 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Korea map for the upcoming F16 Which can form the basis of a Korean War variant.
045 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Didn't Wags have an Iraq module icon of some sort at the bottom of one of his live streams? Iraq-Kuwait would go well with all the Gen 4 jets available/incoming. Then again Iran-Iraq would go better with the Su-25T, the one free jet, though obviously that'd still be fictional. A Cold War era European map would definitely have great potential, but I imagine that'd be pretty elaborate for a free map.
Кош Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Would be very nice to have plain water map, but with spherical geo shape so you wont see ships from 30 miles from deck level.

Fisherman82 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Maybe Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Russian Kola Peninsula. Would be a great place for NATO planes at Norwegian bases, Viggens and Finnish Hornets aswell as a lot of sea for Carriers of all sorts. Not many big citys to model but instead beautiful scenery (Norwegian Fjords for example). Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Isn't it exact reason for doing the map if the conflicts really happen there? DCS doesn't have to draw the border or tell wich land belongs to whom.

Christophe D Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Krimea dont coming by the "political problem" into Ukrania and Russia. This is why (among many reasons) a Cold War European map is more than welcome.
