My name is Dan and as part of a 3rd Party Map project for DCS, we want to hear your (the community's) opinion on a new map! So, before I confuse some of you, let me explain who "we" are. Astronomix is a team of 3 'developers' looking to create an official 3rd party map for DCS, but we cant do it without some input from the community! We want to know what maps you all would want in DCS, to help us better judge what we want to develop in the future! Our team is still very much in its infancy - but as time goes on, we will set our sights on making an official 3rd party map for DCS, but that cannot be done without your input and opinions! So, please leave any votes/ opinions in the comments below, and we will look at these as potential ideas for a future map!

Maltschik Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 There are already several „Desert-Maps“, so it would be great to see some different landscapes with green jungle. So my suggestions: - Asia (Japan, Phillipines, Malaysia…) - Middle-Africa (Congo, Kenia…) - Caribbean (Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica…) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ojanim Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Please for the time being no more desert maps.

flanker1 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 wow, finally. i am not alone. hopefully ED or even 3rd will understand at least, that the most effective way to earn money and get incremental revenue will be a cold war scenario!! to feel the depth and complexity of this fabulous piece of software called dcs and it s strenghts. a proper upgrade or overhaul or at least redoing of caucasus would be a good or an eastern germany/western germany or baltics cold war era conflict a even better idea - G.J.S has shown an area with great potential in his post. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High_Flyer Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Taiwan Strait In my opinion this is a badly needed map. Aside from the newly released Marianas map, there’s no map featuring the Pacific/East Asia. And let’s face it, the next major conflict zone will be either Taiwan or the South China Sea (most likely both at the same time). Tensions are boiling and the US is slowly starting to take a stronger stance on Taiwan being de facto independent and pushing back on the One-China status quo. I swear every week I see at least one article on the situation. Even a USN Admiral was quoted saying that he expects a conventional military conflict to breakout in the region sometime within the decade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvii-Dietrich Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 ` NORTH CAPE This region includes parts of the Norwegian and Barrents Sea and Arctic Fennoscanida, incl. Lapland, Kola Peninsula, down to the Gulf of Bothnia. The area is sparse, so there are no huge city-areas to model. Non-urban areas make it more "timeless", permitting both WW2, Cold War and Modern scenarios. It is NOT another desert map. It suits a large range of currently-available, and planned, DCS modules. It has large areas of both land and sea. Landscape is varied: towering mountains, lakes, fjords, open tundra, forest. Winter snow and the possibility for road-based cold-war runways. It is a battle-area (WW2), stand-off area (Cold War) and exercise area (modern NATO Arctic exercises).

Tank50us Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Here's my idea: Make a fictional map that can handle a wide variety of real-world scenarios, as well as fictional ones. Such a map could easily be done, and could be representative of a multiple locations, all without having to worry about the political landscape as it is now. Just my two cents. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
