Terrain texturing map

[The_GOZR]

Well here we go .. I'm so used to fly very long distances with il2 that i wish that we could place bases or place textures into this vast land left with out life.. The actual map is small that you can't really produce great long range flight missions with team mates..

 

What is your thought on that matter ?

Who says you can't fly long distances? Make your flight take of from Sukhumi and head all the way to the furthest base NW... or even better, set some ships to engage... it'll take your target even further :D That'll take you some time to get there and if you wanna stick to realism you should watch your fuel so you can RTB... if you survive the engagement(s) or what ever mission you assigned yourself. Also don't compare LockOn with IL-2... jets are faster then prop aircraft so going over longer distances should take less time :)

Ofcourse,

Still it's quite limited in some way.. I wonder why ED never made an other map ... to give more flexibilities..

2 400 sq. km.... — it is small map????:megalol::lol::doh:

It's long but not very wide... Like Lions in a cage ;)

Lock on features one of the most detailed maps in any sims, its not repetitve like in some sims so they cant simply copy and paste it. Lock On's terrain is based on the real map, if you check it out, you will find a football field next to the beach, and on google earth, there is indeed that field next to the beach, so its pretty accurate. That being said, it takes a while to get into that detail. Black shark did expand the map a little, but that won't apply towards lock on. And we don't have the tools to create new terrain, we could add static object but not create elevation or whatever,

I know all this KungFu I made some detailed terrain for FSX myself ;) an example I even added my family place in Spain of a tiny village and as well a football field close by as well as the 1933 airfield next to the jet field.. and cars buses birds etc..etc.. ;)

Anyway now why ED didn't really work on that ? Did they give up much earlier than we though on Lockon ?

 

BS expend the map but are we not loosing Crimea ?

LockOn terrain is actually quite good and to me looks very natural. I really don't like sims that use repetative tiles of terrain. To me that looks so sterile... and LockOn is not like that.

....are we not loosing Crimea ?

 

That's an Affirmative.
