REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) RAF North Weald would be a great addition. Close to London, and a field used extensively by RAF and RNAF (Norwegian) flying offensive operations, mostly in Spitfire mk IXs, into France. https://www.eppingforestdc.gov.uk/northweald/history/ https://northwealdairfield.org/History/history.html Edited May 28, 2023 by REDEYE_CVW-66 6
PLUTON Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 From what I just read on the RAF North Weald airfield how this airfield was not installed from the beginning (at the exit of this map?) the request for REDEYE_CVW-66 is largely justified I think. 1
Cliffhanger31 Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 North Weald would be a great addition! Very historic and important. 1
Slippa Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 Definitely. Pluton’s right, should’ve been there from the off. Then again, I want the South East of Britain’s airfields mapped so no arguments from me.
DD_Fenrir Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Whilst I'd like also like to see every airfield covered by the map extents available, it must be considered that there may well be an airfield budget for any given map; memory will have to be allocated for runway headings, lengths & altitudes, spawn points and taxi routes, before you even get to the business of rendering the objects in a 3D environment. Therefore, as much as we'd all like to see those airfields present, it is likely that that could well be impossible just from game engine limitations. Not only that but the R&D time to build all of these could well be prohibitive, so we need to manage our expectations accordingly. North Weald would be cool, but given the maps timeframe - defined by Ugra Media as summer 1944 - and that the last Fighter squadron/wing to use North Weald in WW2 left in March of 1944 for the Advanced Landing Ground at RAF Bognor, I think there could be more relevant choices... including Bognor itself would be a nice nod to the Norwegian squadrons. 3
