SDsc0rch Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 i do not think this will be the actual "free second map" as it doesn't meet all the conditions matt specified (wasn't a big WWII theater) but i *def* do think ED should develop this map ----- think cold-war CVBG vs soviet forces scenarios i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
fael097 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 so will we ever get another free map?

QuiGon Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 so will we ever get another free map? The very first post in this thread should already answer your question. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
FC_Schaefer Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 DCS Free Map II TAIWAN Formosa (Taiwan) Air Battle 1944 - (IJN vs USN Third Fleet) Taiwan Strait Crisis 1958 - (F-86 vs MiG-15) Modern Phase I - (PLAAF vs F-5, Mirage, F-16) Modern Phase II - (PLA Navy vs USAF/USN/USMC)
Count von Altibar Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 +1 to the Taiwan. I think DCS needs a SE Asian map this one or Vietnam lots of modules already at hand plus the potential for more. From a commercial point of view would potentially spark more interest for people in that region to use DCS.
Ironhand Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Wonder if it could be Armenia and Azerbaijan. Pushes the Caucasus map in the direction of the Persian Gulf.

Stratos Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Wonder if it could be Armenia and Azerbaijan. Pushes the Caucasus map in the direction of the Persian Gulf. Nagorno Karabah? That ill make me really happy. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
CarbonFox Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 The Taiwan strait is something I'm onboard. Although, I'd like to see the Caucasus map expanded into a Black Sea map to include a detailed Crimea and Southern Ukraine. Could recreate quite a few missions from the Ukraine campaign from the old Jane's USNF titles. F/A-18C; A-10C; F-14B; Mirage 2000C; A-4E; F-16C; Flaming Cliffs 3
mono6020 Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 would love to see the Region around Bosnia (Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Montenegro) maybe with some airbases in italy. spot on for the incoming f-16
Kid18120 Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 would love to see the Region around Bosnia (Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Montenegro) maybe with some airbases in italy. spot on for the incoming f-16 That would be awesome but if there'd be a map to go with the F16, i wouldn't expect it to be free. The free map will most likely be something that somewhat fits all the modules we have (more or less realistically). I'd be the 1st preordering a Balkans map if it would come following the F16 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850
tintifaxl Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 I think the free maps are tied to MAC. So it should cover something for the MAC planes. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
jmarso Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Good options would be: A 'Med' map including the eastern Med- Israel, Syria, Egypt, Libya, with maybe portions of Italy and the Adtriatic involved. Such a map has dual utility. Not only does it represent a major Cold War hot spot, modern troubles in Syria, the Arab-Israeli wars, and Libya, once the geography part is done, you have a foundation to do a dual version of the map- one for WWII, and one for the Cold War --> Present era. Such a map would be good for both land and naval based warfare scenarios, as well. North Cape region- basically the same region used in Janes F/A-18. Good for naval scenarios, and also good for some land-based stuff, particularly a Russian/Soviet conflict striking into Norway. I wouldn't mind seeing the Janes campaign remade for DCS, particularly with the Tomcat and Hornet modules available. That map would potentially be a good home for Viggen fans, as well. GIUK gap. Iceland, the Faeroes, Scotland, and the western coast of Norway. (Vestfjord and such). Great naval / cold war map. Probably limited utilities for land-based warfare. Western European map, centered on Germany, including the Baltics. Good for some modern scenarios, and the classic European WWIII (Fulda Gap) scenario map. Limited utility for naval warfare.
aledmb Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 hi everyone, it's almost end of 2019, are we getting any news on this? :)
Gierasimov Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 You should head over to the dedicated section https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=498 Plenty of valuable hints there, including info on Syria map already in progress.

Worrazen Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 would love to see the Region around Bosnia (Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Montenegro) maybe with some airbases in italy. spot on for the incoming f-16 And Mig-21s were used all over Jugoslavia too. But IDK if you'd get a free map on the same part of the world as Caucasus, maybe it'll be the DRONK region ... did I got that right? Democratic Republic of North Korea ... wait, DPRK right. Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, P-47, FC3, SC, CA, WW2AP, CE2. Terrains: NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf, Syria

aledmb Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 wasn't there supposed to be an expansion of the caucasus region?
Bagpipe Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 They could just expand the current Caucasus map to the EMC to incorporate Turkey etc in detail. Combining both regions together would make for some eye-wateringly good scenarios
Fri13 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 The one small problem with that is that the cold war was over for 20 years if you are talking about DCS aircraft. A10C (2005) F/A-18C (~2003?) Su-33 (1998)... A-10, NOT the A-10C ;) So A-10A would be there.... With Su-25A, Mig-23MLA, Su-27S etc etc. Hornet would be more difficult but it is more about stations loadout than anything else, major difference being the TAMMAC moving map upgrade, otherwise just disable AIM-9X, JHMS etc and you are in 1991 configuration. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Combining both regions together would make for some eye-wateringly good scenarios That could be start of the global map, by making it in pieces and combining the interesting parts with higher details. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

And such would anyways be nice to be possible disable automatically when mission date is older than the feature. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
SkHiTech Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 My vote is for Balkan theatre :-) As Italian pilot I'd love to plan missions starting from my country's airfields and fly along with my friends. That would be awesome...! Thank you! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
