Will Normandy and The Channel map be able to merge for one mission/campaign?

[jetsimace]

Will those two maps be able to complement each other / merge (means be used in the same mission/campaign) or will we be either restricted to current Normandy OR (future) Channel Map?

There is no precedence for 2 maps to be merged. It would be such a big feature/change that it certainly would have been advertised.

 

That aside the two maps are made by different companies, they are different products, probably made quite differently with different textures and likely colouring/shading in different seasons, possibly models, level of detail in different sections etc. Flying from one to the other would probably be quite jarring from a visual perspective if they were even right next to each other or overlapping (which it doesn't seem like they will be).

 

Its probably quite unrealistic to consider it a possibility tbh

Not in one mission but it'd be fairly simple (if not possible already) to come up with campaign that have missions in different maps.

Hi

 

It is not possible to merge terrains, they are from different parties.

 

However I see what you are saying, if a campaign creator chose different locations Normandy or The Channel for individual missions within a campaign that of-course would be possible.

It would mean that the end user would need to own both terrains to purchase the campaign.

So we could make a campain where we train in the Navada map and deploy to the Persan gulf map?

This is really really bad news for me. I really wished to experience the whole theatre as a whole

 

Thanks for posting this.

Wags once said, that the whole world is planned as a map. But he didn't say in which decade.;)

[longreater]

or which game ;)

Hello, other sims make it posisble to merge sceneries from different vendors. Please do not take it wrong. I am a big fan of ED. Once the Mosquito is out, it would be great to have a big ww2 theatre.

If the two maps are merged together, would it take twice the time to load?

The DCS editor / engine has not capable to join maps from two diferent products yet to build bigger missions, that can require the "whole map" technology.

There is, however, an action Start Mission which could be triggered by, say, the player aircraft at the edge of one map and then Start Mission at the beginning of another map. Could also be used to shorten a long flight, say across Syria, and then pick up closer to the destination.

I've never used Start Mission but am intrigued by the idea...
