Request - General Map Boundaries

[JagHond]

You are right here, mate, I too have read those same ... so someone would be better to wish long and health life to us both.

With best regards.

So, if I understood correctly, a "small" area will overlap the Syria map from Ugra.

Perhaps this was already discussed somewhere, but I sure hope that OnReTech is in contact/consultation with Ugra about this area.

Imho, it would be a total waste of time and resources (money) if this area was completely designed from scratch by OnReTech.

 

Imagine: Flying to Ramat David (Sinai map). Then start the next mission in your campaign from Ramat David (Syria map) and the environment suddenly looks completely different (apart from maybe the airfield layout)

I'm far more interested in the idea that the maps could be "stitched" together at some future point in time as ED alluded to in some vaguely recent update.

Yes obviously, in terms of less re-work, that would be ideal

I love the scope of this map. 

I know the PG and Syria map have some nice archaeological features. This map has Masada!. I wonder how it will look in the map with the lift and the remnants of the Roman camps.

First off, you are bringing a favorite area back to flight sims, thanks to hundreds of hours in F-22 ADF by DID back in the 90s! Looking forward to seeing it with modern tech!

As for a request...and I have no idea if this is a map makers possibility... But can you make the oil / petroleum storage tanks at the actually explode?

By Spudknocker, can get a similar size to Ugra Media Syria map.

Are the exact coordinates already known ? Currently we draw a much smaller area in DCS Web Editor & Viewer, based on some coordinates found online.

Thanks, i assumed Lat/Lon for the other corners 3/4 were equal to 1/2. I hope its correct now

I got lost with this post. Those map sizes are work in progress? I mean Caucasus is huge... this is for real? 

[winghunter]

Coordinates of released maps are exported straight from DCS. Caucasus is one of the largest maps ( even though its mostly low detail area). Note that in this Mercator projection, land masses towards north and south pole appear bigger than they are. Hence Kola and SA maps also appearing larger.

Remember ED Working on Afganisthan map. Marianas WW2 will get the same size of Marianas (or not).

Who is making a "South East Asia" map? Did I miss an announcement?

If ED isn't doing it, at some point we will

ED will do it themselves. But no info if they've already started yet.
