For me it's amazing news and I think it will make this platform unlimited in terms of potential! I do agree with nearly everything you say, one bit is I doubt the professional customers want a whole world. I wouldn't expect much real world transit training is required. After that it probably doesn't matter what or where it is. Mostly just tactics and working together rather than anything else. 1

I dont really think that a global map has anything to do with whole world transiting. If you want, yeah, go for it, get a *few tankers and go fly for a day, in VR. On the other hand, the possibility to choose anywhere to fly is unmatched, and as a business, you can sell specific assets for different uses. 1 1 Banned by cunts.

Even back in the 90s a world map with some scenery was possible. So today it could be much more do-able with reasonable detail. I could see the ED store being filled with various airfields and high detail scenery packs. That way we could build the world we want, and transit across the areas we are less interested in, or just stay in the smaller high detailed areas similar to what we have now. Yeah... but they've often been very low detailed... for instance the Capital of Canada never had all of its rivers - sometimes patches of water in the wider parts of the rivers, but no actual connected rivers - even X-Plane 11 is like this for the second largest river in Ottawa. There is also the issue of size (Terrabytes or Petabytes of data) and having realistic objects for the region - which have to be modelled. I can see mounting existing maps onto a globe - and the creation of larger numbers of maps - but I don't think anything near the quality required for actual military simulations is possible at those scales.
... Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Taking a world map as a challenge is great news. It offers an infinite range of possibilities and roles that are closer to reality. 2 https://launionescuadron.webnode.es/
C3PO Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Every big feature always had a technology / development implication, and it’s very easy to say something couldn’t/wouldn’t/shouldn’t be done. If we all listened to that, MP would never have happened (the fragility and terrible transfer rates of data in the 90s), the ICE would never have been developed (horses were much faster and far more reliable at inception) and I dare say the wheel might not have happened (“Bert, why are you playing with that stupid stone when you could be carrying this stuff to the next settlement?”).

ZnarF Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) World map... finest news ever for DCS, I strongly wish they use the photogrammetric (or IA when not possible) approach like MSFS... I find that even a very good small man-made maps is not as immersive as its photogrammetric relative! -(like the Mariana or Syria map, they're very very well done, but... each aspect [redondant houses and buildings, unnatural connection between terrain and buildings, etc.] reminds me it's a game, not the reality....while the magic works for example in MSFS when cruising central Europe for imagining a cold war scenario - DCS World really merits that!!] Edited October 31, 2021 by ZnarF

I doubt, but if the goals are high, then we just get better hardware then, I had a long time idea of a new professional PC platform that would be in between the PC high-enthusiast end and enterprise, workstation isn't really it and doesn't cut it. It would be for many things not just sims, but sims would be one of the things.

Mr. Big.Biggs Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 Interested in how they will pull off a world map when individual slices seem to be a challenge for all but the strongest pc’s on flat screen but hey, what do I know.

WarbossPetross Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Look at the bright side, we would finally get to fly in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Balkans etc. since that seems to be the only way we can ever hope to get them.

The map is procedurally generated on server side then somehow is sharing it with the clients... could be a thing for DCS as well maybe... just my thoughts!

cordite Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 And that's why I said what I said. Please, leave the cloud stuff for *censored*.
Weasel Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 As much as I appreciate a whole world, the damage model, however, is a big challenge. That means every object which is destroyable (buildings, bridgets, airfields etc) I am very curious how ED will implement a damage model for a whole world
BlackRook Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 I can just hear the whiners now: "We have the WHOLE WORLD that can participate in this (dynamic campaign) war!! Why doesn't the DC engine take into account that [Russia|China|US|whoever] is just a couple hundred miles away, and they can be included?" I think that the complexities of trying to build a map-based (read: confined space) dynamic campaign engine is, according to DCS/Eagle themselves, hard. It was part of the roadmap for 2021, but that has clearly be re-prioritized, largely (I suspect) on the difficulties of making it work they way that they want it to. Add on top of this the fluidity or "open world" sort of possibilities of a world map, and there is a lot to consider. In addition, an 'open world' sort of ability within DCS, while a noble and worthy cause, is going to be initially met with the screaming, stamping of feet and griping, that the aircraft/armies/equipment of [Insert My Favorite Country here] are not properly represented!! <rage!> Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have it. I just think that an open-world DCS is going to require a LOT of help in development from modders and third-party content providers.
BlackRook Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Oh, to be clear: The above was a criticism of most online communities being utter crap to the development/publishing company out of entitlement and immaturity. The above is not at all aimed at, or criticism of, Eagle Dynamics.

I think the world map is overrated. Bring on a dynamic campaign in a realistic war region like we currently have... and I'm more than good.

Tom Kazansky Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 For me there is simply not enough information yet revealed by ED to judge whether I like the idea of a whole world DCS or not. I will follow with interest though.
Fairey Gannet Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 World map would be an interesting feature. And I am not against that idea. However, in DCS we would benefit marginally from it. We still are bound by operational range of our planes and ground assets. And to the theater of operations. Personally I think that high-fidelity, well optimised maps of current size are not bad choice, but maybe I am too easy to please. Speaking of pleasing.... Please, swap those LOMAC-era buildings. It hurts so much when you see those popping out of the blue and screaming: "Why you don't love me, player?!" I will be pleased, if they won't haunt me anymore.
