No one's working on SE Asia?

Not yet, at least not announced. 

But ED have unofficially stated recently that in future, when it's physically possible  to render such a map at flight sim framerates, they would like  to see that happen.

How about a Slot Map for the Western Pacific.

Would be fantastic to have when we finally get the F4U, F6 and A6M.

[Fynek]

Ideally, I would say any map that has been the theater of conflicts between airforces since the cold war until recently (historical), or maps of regions where it is not unreasonable to believe that there could be a conflict in the future( what if scenarios).

So considering we already have Egypt/Israel/Syria, I would say Vietnam, Iraq, Korea, India/Pakistan, South Africa/Namibia, Yugoslavia, Turkey/Greece, Armenia/Azerbaidjan, South China sea/Taiwan. I may have forgotten some. 

However it is just my opinion but I would favour the ones that would meet the following criteria : 

1) the map that would make use of the most of existing and confirmed aircrafts in development for DCS.

2) a map with elevation (mountains, hills) for "gameplay" reasons (more interesting, gives more chances to less capable aircrafts)  instead of "another desert map" with lots of flat terrain 

3) preferaby landscapes that look more different/exotic compared to what we already have.

So for me I think that Vietnam would be my pick all things considered. Not sure how smooth the performances would be with so many trees, but if this difficulty can be overcome, I think it would be a great addition in my view, especially since I find cold war aircrafts more interesting to fly in general.

Yugoslavia

Since Kola is coming, apart from a GIUK gap or ideally a GIUK-update to the future Kola map, Yugoslavia/Adria map is my biggest wish atm.
But at least Piacenza AB has to be on that map, for our announced DCS Tornado!

Also something I was totally underestimating:
A Central Europe Map (of course everyone thinks of the Fulda Gap) would be awesome. But also for a different reason:
2021 I was doing a plane trip with a buddy in a Pa-28 one time around France and in the German-French border area there are really nice air bases for earlier but also late cold war scenarios with a very nice history!

I think of at least 2 we have been to:
- Baden-Baden, which hosted the RCAF with CF-101, CF-104 and later even CF-188 Hornets doing DACT against GAF Tornadoes and F-4F before closing in the early 90s,
- Chambley-Bussières Air Base with USAF F-86 for an eralier Korean War time-frame scenario
And many more known but also not so much known places...

Grenada or Panama 

[Mr.Jazzy]

Colombia 90s. I want to evaporate cocain labs on my A-10. Or smuggle some coke, who knows. Plus, Venezuela has world's largest natural oil reserves, so...

Somalia and Kenya 90s. Black hawk down, sea pirates, Afrika's largest lake and tallest mountain. 

Gibraltar and Tangier, WW2. Spain invaded demilitarized zone. Has some mountains, too.

DCS: Mars

Or maybe Europa (moon)?

That other sim is making Dune, DCS if falling behind, DCS must make full fidelity X-wing and full scale Endor.

A Straight of Gibraltar would make a lot of sense, with Morocco, Spain, Portugal, UK and maybe Algeria and France, the possibilities are endless with a mixture of airframes, docrrines, terrain types, from mountains to plains, it can be a blast

This map can cover scenarios from ww2 and cold war, to modern day

It already exists in BMS, they call it Pillars Of Hercules

I was informed that we are to attempt no landing there... 

Besides, they told us to use in peace too... so not much use for DCS !!

 

Spoiler

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace. - message from  the monolith through HAL-9000 , 2010

 

Then  again, "use them together" implies multiplayer use, so...

Since we need proper matching aircraft for map (I heard).....

I'd suggest Moon 44 or Space:1999  I wouldn't mind flying a proper Eagle! 

[Pnguin9999]

1. Korea including Okinawa/partial Sea of Japan.

2. Afghanistan. No it's not all desert, the mountain areas are great for helos and CAS, and you could set up a Cold War red vs blue campaign for the zoomies. Complete with CIA officers and pony trains loaded down with Stingers and bags of cash. LOL.

Yes Please...

Maybe a huge project that covers them all and brings the NTTR into a big Southern California Scenery Project..

Add to all of the above...  

Naval Auxiliary Landing Field - San Clemente Island, March AFB, China Lake, Point Mugu and all the class B,C,D and E civil airports.  

[Rick50]

 

The end of year videos from ED show many upcoming projects... and in  the last year or two I think  they hinted  at an  Afghanistan map, I believe that might be currently in  development. This would be of great benefit for the Apache, Hind, Hip, Su-25, and many others too!

At the very end of the video, there is a set of coordinates, for part of Afghanistan, and the gunsight for the Phantom which  is about  to  release soon..

It was a bit deeper than that, and it was supposed to reveal C-130.
