SDsc0rch Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Financially stupid to release this as a Free map Great commercial potential. Free maps will be a lot simpler - by the nature of it.this forum has largely "decided" that - but there really isn't any evidence to form that conclusion Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo_One Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 As Caucasus, PG and Noramndy, I'm sure most of it will be water. Also an interesting point would be to release a map without any access to oceans - maybe a lake where you cant place an aircraft carrier 1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ships cannot be placed in lakes without scripting effort. We had to do that for NTTR and in the end the thing just looks stupid there. A map without sea will be as desolate as Afghanistan.

Voodoo_One Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Why say that? I find the idea interesting. Like something in the alps (Even when this isn't a showplays for many known plane fights) or so - Something with interesting geographical features - Maybe besides the nevada training area the canadian training area? Mach loop would be again close to the ocean. Sure, not interesting for people who like using ships and aircraft carriers, but we will see what map will be released incl. the dlc maps... (Some of which we are quite sure alrdy) 1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratos Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Maybe the Kuriles? Relevant to many planes we have, mostly sea and the rest are wind barren island with no big cities.

Pilot909 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Make Normandy and WW2 assets free. This is coming from someone who already owns both. The WW2 side needs to draw more players and the barrier to entry is too high.

Wexler Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Make Normandy and WW2 assets free. I guess upcoming MAC will adress this in some degree - there are planned free parts of some maps.

And about "Bad" Business move..... incoming 3 new WW2 aircrafts and two more follow, more ww2 assets, new maps, and the "testbed" on new features to DCS.

Silver_Dragon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Good thing that there aren't any political problems in the Persian Gulf, or we wouldn't have it:music_whistling: The Persian Gulf Map (previously Straight of Hormuz), was build based on the 2012 dispute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Strait_of_Hormuz_dispute Not by a "invasion" and de facto anexion.

Nealius Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Wait, 2 WWII maps coming? I was interested in Normandy but the performance issues and lack of UK geography modeled turned me away from it. I'm excited to know what's in store for WWII stuff. The Fw190 A8 will probably be a Day One purchase for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterH Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I really don't think that it is Crimea. It has been stated many times that they will not do Crimea due to current political climate surrounding it. Also, even if they would, I don't think it would be announced as a new map, but as an additional improvement of detailed areas for Caucasus map, as it does already include the region.

Fri13 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Let's hope its some kind of european/american map? We have already 2 in the desert. Something like the alps or generall green map would be nice. IMHO the two perfect maps for DCS World would be: 1) Fulda Cap That is where the expected T-55 army breakthrough was said to happen, and where the A-10 would have been operational. 2) The northern Norwegian Sea That is where the massive fleets would have measured each others, with the submarines and air combat. Great for Su-33 and F/A-18C for carrier operations. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

A10C (2005) F/A-18C (~2003?) Su-33 (1998)... Doesn't matter, as it is about the fictional scenarios that people can make. The important part is to get to fly A-10A, Su-25A, Mig-19, F-15, Su-27S etc in more historical "what-if" scenarios, and then make a new fictional ones where example cold war would collide. Then there would be lots to fly with KA-50, Mi-8, Bo etc in those scenarios. Just remember that there was no such collision between USSR and USA that would make any sense to any of such flying as in DCS.

Gierasimov Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 With Syria being developed by 3rd party I think it may be Afghanistan. Was confirmed at some point as the map that DCS is getting. Textures are there already, some 3D objects as well. Nobody talks much more about this (neither ED nor a 3rd party).. wouldn't these be telltale signs?

No Proof != Proof If you need something from someone to confirm or deny, then they giving you nothing is not a proof of anything. That is why if you do not want to give any proof, you say nothing. In American courtrooms that would be like "pleading the fifth".

McRuffen Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 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 This! YES! Please!! Free or paid, please make a map of this area. Road bases for Viggen, NATO planes in Norway, Finnish hornets and Russian air bases. Spectacular scenery ranging from deep fjords, wild mountains and valleys, great plains, taiga and tundra, hot summers and cold, snowy winters with all kinds of possibilites to really show off the graphics engine of DCS. Polar night in the winter, midinght sun in the summer, a really exotic location with extremely varied terrain, seasons, lighting and weather (especially if the weather engine gets a long-deserved overhaul) ranging from beautiful summer days, thunderstorms and rain, to blizzards or icy cold clear weather in the winter (which really brings out the performance of jet engines!). Such a map would be politically interesting (cold war, WW3, with NATO, Russia and two more or less neutral countries in between with Sweden and Finland). It's got ocean enough for carrier ops on both sides, it's got real-world military airbases and civilian airports, and lots of very interesting terrain. This would IMO be the best possible location for a DCS map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
