Bloodhound57 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 It has been 2 years since the last map was released for DCS World.

Bloodhound57 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Really difficult. But, I cannot believe it's been so long. You would think that there would be some sort of pipeline. ____________________________________________________ PC: ASROCK Z370 Gaming K6 | Intel i7 8700K | GeForce 2080TI | 32GB GeSkill 3200 RAM | GeForce 2080TI | 500GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 | 1TB Samsung 860 EVO M.2 ____________________________________________________ FLIGHT STUFF: Rift S | Warthog Base | Virpil Base | Hornet Grip | A-10 Grip | Cougar Grip | Virpil F-14 Grip | Cougar MFD's | A-10C UFC | Saitek Flight Panels | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals
randomTOTEN Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 There are currently *at least* 2 maps in development which have been publicly announced.
Baco Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 well Marianas is more of a playground, a weird experiemnt maybe... while The Channel, is a remake of Normandy of sorts. So.. actually no new full fledge map. AND no news about Syria and less even about Afghanistan... Oh yeah Malvinas/Falklands.. another tiny islands and looooots of water... So while I understand its not easy, I can see the logic in pointing out that we need more done in the "map's department"...
Knock-Knock Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Nevada came in 2015, Persian Gulf in 2018 (plus updated Caucasus, and yes I know, far from making a new map, but still a lot of work converting to a new terrain engine), and for 2020 we get The Channel map and Mariana (dont know if WWII variant comes right away too?). All seems normal to me there. And no, The Channel map is not some Normandy rehash. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 20, 2020 ED Team Posted April 20, 2020 The short answer is it is ready when it is ready, it takes many man hours to produce content. We have plenty of new terrains on the way, but you will need to be patient. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Bloodhound57 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 No doubt it takes "many" hours. Maybe it's too difficult? Tools to make the process not simple, but a little less than a couple of years between may be a better option. Also, there are maps that have been announced and in development for that same period of time. Hopefully, we can see progress soon! I mean the Chanel map was supposed to be in pre-release in February.

Mr_sukebe Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Which terrains, BIGNEWY ? I'm a bit confused. Please tell the names ( not the release date, etc ) Thank you Did you miss the threads and comments about Syria and the Falklands. As for the comment about White Cliffs being a re-hash. If you'd bothered to check, you'd have found that it's a different area of France. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Lenux Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 ED should hire ORBX That would be the greatest thing, for ED, for the users, for everyone... Money, fun, realism, etc...

No big criticism. just the fact that Terreing wise, things are going a bit slow. I ment nothing more than that. On the brite side Persian Gulf still feels brand new and no one has flonw every corner yet ;).
JamesRothwell Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I wonder if the technology behind MS Flight Sim 2020 will eventually change how maps/terrain in DCS are produced. If AI can essentially create most of the map and terrain, you'd just have to have a big library of varied buildings and other assets for it to plop down by itself. I have no idea how map making is done but seems like it could be a good step going forward in flight simming in general. If FS2020 can use this tech to make the whole world in reasonable level of quality/detail, you'd think that scaled down to one region it could be made to look even more detailed.
Beirut Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 ED should hire ORBX That would be the greatest thing, for ED, for the users, for everyone... Money, fun, realism, etc... Yeah, I've had that thought too. It would be great. Can you imagine how tasty the airfields would look. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
