Rongor Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Access from the Indian Ocean supported by air2air-refueling would mean so much more possibilities. The Baluchistan region between south Afghanistan and the Ocean wouldn't even require any detailed scenery, terrain only would be just fine. Please don't miss this chance to include the opportunity for long range naval air ops. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Force Team Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 @Mike Force Team agrees wholeheartedly with @Rongor. @Eagle Dynamics, please consider expanding the Afghanistan Map so that it allows access to the Arabian Sea or Indian Ocean. The Tomcats, Harriers, and Hornets pilots would like to enjoy flying from the carriers across Pakistan en route to Afghanistan. Currently, the Afghan map information reveals the focus is solely on Afghanistan itself. Should @Eagle Dynamics consider expanding and charging for the Afghan Map expansion, I believe people will pay for it. Mike Force Team 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelPig Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 +1 No need for high detail in these areas. I would fly over at around 30k anyways. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsky Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) +1 Should be technically doable, since the length of the expanded map will be about 900 miles. That's only marginally bigger than the South Atlantic. I can totally live with a very, very crude representation of that area. Like, "the western part of the PG map" level crude. A basic shoreline, some water bodies, rudimentary mesh and a generic sand texture will suffice. Doesn't seem too hard to do, won't impact the performance at all, guaranteed to make a couple folks very happy Edited March 23 by Minsky 7 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I second this idea. A simple extension (no detailed area and rough or flat height map) would go a long way to enable carrier ops and longer ingress routes especially for the coming C-130J or flying Tomcats and Hornets from the Indian Ocean. 4 Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsky Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 A picture worth thousand words, so here's what I mean by "crude representation": These are Iraq and Pakistan on the PG map. Hundreds of miles beyond the detailed area of that map. Doubt a lot of manual labor went into this. Probably just some leftovers from the data ED acquired for the region. With Afghanistan, I would settle for even less than that. 13 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwards Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Just came to request this. I fully agree, we just need a very basic terrain representation of the terrain south of Afghanistan so we can access the ocean for carrier ops. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgeekJoe Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Yes, desperately needed for historical realism. Thanks guys! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisFX Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Wait. There's no water for carrier/naval use right now? Jolly bad show. We don't need a lot of details but I'm surprised this is happening considering how popular the 18c module has seemingly been over the years.

Exorcet Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Water for this map would be extremely valuable, even if the terrain between is extremely low quality. The ability to fly from carriers and to perform long flights is only a plus. 3 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
