FALKLANDS MAP

Recommended Posts

You've definitely never been to that part of the world, have you?

:doh:

I know it's not central europe in terms of population and infrastructure density, far from it, but it's still more than the Falkland Islands have to offer in that regard.

 

And no, unlike you I have not visited Patagonia and the Falkland Islands personally. I guess that makes me a dumb person, sorry...

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

You could at least have checked google or bings maps first.

Oh believe me there is not that much infrastructure. a few towns a few roads.. and like Orso said we dont need state of the art reproduction of the whole thing, just the military bases and a few towns would do just fine And there is really a lot of nothingness between bases....

The whole focus of the map is The Falklands Islands. The addition of the mainland was just to allow people to be able to make the trip from the mainland to re-enact the attack on the islands.

 

Although the initial map will include Rio Gallegos as the only airfield on the mainland, I will investigate what can be possible to increase the North / South Scale of the map this should then include some additional airports etc.

 

This will probably be investigated after the beta release of the map, but this has by no means been decided yet. I am just speculating.

 

Lets seen how far we can take this :)

 

I have included a screenshot of what the map will initially include (the grid within the image)

 

thanks Specter

IMHO, It'd be a missed opportunity to not include a further portion of this map to the north, not only because of additional airports in the continent, but also because historically, the british task force, in 1982, operated to the northeast of islands, right outside of your boundaries.

Thank you so much for the Image Specter!

 

And thank you for making clear its only Rio Grande for now.

 

Is the grid area the land and sea included Or is that the "detailed area" but the map will actually have the area depicted in the picture in "no detail" (like Crimea in the caucasus)?

 

Again thanks for the grate Info! looking forwar to getting this module!

Thx for update but for me it looks a little ... strange. Not too long horizontally without the appropriate scale of maps vertically? Its only something like 200-250km in vertical with Google scale. For example DCS Syria has 500 km with much more land inside (total 500x600 km + incoming Cyprus ect, so the final version will be bigger). For jets it isnt good idea I suppose. Its 10-20 flight minutes depending on the plane from north to south. It doesnt look good.

According me better to do something like this with more land verticaly (yellow line) with land strip something about 500-600 km.

The ocean is free ;) so no any kind of problem to increase this but pls double (or three times) the size of the land to do something between 500-600km. Is it possible?

The most important thing is, to include a large body of water to the north and south. Just plain Ocean, so we can be more flexible with the fleet ops...

I dont see nothing funny here. We got a guess only. No confirmation, just „maybe yes, maybe not” if you took your time and read it carefully.

"funny" has put a bar about the level when need reach a team map 3rd party on your first map, and put in question your work.

 

First RAZBAM talk about build the islands, the comunity request a "map extension" to the continent, they make them, but not, now some claim the map has "useless". What is the next, build all Patagonia to Buenos Aires and extend the map to ascension Island?.

That was in reference to the mainland, as far as I understood. Hence my comment, that plain ocean to the north and south, without additional islands/mainland and subsequent airfields would be a great way of giving us room to place a fleet, without needing to worry too much about effort and performance impact.

The current region shown in the screenshot can be easily expanded to the north and south with only water...

EDIT basically what we have with Syria. The map reaches far to the west, but without modeling Cyprus. Even if they won't add Cyprus, the water body of another 300NM is an awesome staging area for a carrier group.

I like the idea!

 

I'd put a bet though that a minimum of 95% of the DCS player base doesn't care about realistic distances. On the contrary, they want to be in the melee as fast as possible - you know, the "spawn-take off-kill-get killed-respawn" MP cycle. :music_whistling:

Well if they want a quick spawn, there is always Vincenzio de Mayo.

No, unfortunately there is not. At least I haven't seen the devs mentioning that they will provide us with it. We don't even have any (fixed wing) aircraft that can operate from it.

Regarding more sea.. I believe that the map is larger than the size of the grid.

 

The grid would be de detailed Zone, so i could bet that you will have room to manouver fleets arround even ouside the gridded area.

 

Take the Persian Gulf map as example, you can place carriers all the way to the East, far from the gridded area... it works fine.

 

 

 

Quigon you are quite right, althow We do have the Most excellent A4-E-C, to lauch from the ARA Veinticinco de Mayo, if they include it in the assets like the Invincible or Hermes...

 

Besides, a Collosus/Magestic Carrier with A4s - Canuck´s, Aussies, Brazilians alike will also be in heaven if the carrier is skinnable... ;)

 

And when the Corsair hits the Pacific the French could have the Arromanches too ;)

The A-4 is just private mod (although a very good one) and not part of any official DCS content.

Wrong, QuiGon consider yourself relegated back to a padawan.
