Gierasimov Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Upcoming DCS Earth will make it all possible, since ED already stated they want to make it better than the other sim and seeing how that other sim new version is going to look, I have a strong feeling that DCS Earth project will allow us to enjoy it very much... 1 Intel Ultra 9 285K :: ROG STRIX Z890-A GAMING WIFI :: Kingston Fury 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta
ShroomSister Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Adding my support for a Southern California map. +1 Please include up to Los Angeles (or further... San Francisco?) if you do this. Flying between skyscrapers is not practical/realistic in real life... but in a simulator, it is unbelievably fun. 1
ShroomSister Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Adding my support here. I own NTTR, but have to say, it is somewhat lackluster, compared to more modern maps. I'd love to see it updated, possibly expanded to include some of SoCal (LA, Miramar). 5 2
Logan54 Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 After F-5E Remastered I`d wish ED think about NTTR. It`s one of my favourite maps, and its totally forgotten. Idea to include California is really nice, but we have not builded RWs and Valleys at current Nevada. @BIGNEWY will we see any progress with this map in the near future? It seems this map need more love. 2

trev5150 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 All the way from the Mexican Border (relevant!) and the Barry Goldwater Range up to Fallon and the entire West Coast from San Diego - including San Clemente Island and Catalina and the Channel Islands! THAT'S A MAP Really though just goes to support a global map, AI integration into mission building, asset management, dynamic campaign.... 2

R. Winters Posted April 30 Posted April 30 NAS Miramar addon for MSFS. Only fuels my desire to see NAS Miramar in DCS! Pls E.D or some Dev. please make this! 3
R. Winters Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) Dear E.D or other Developers. I as well as many in the community think it would be nice to see a Southern California map. Ideally taking place when Miramar was a Navy owned installation DISCLAMER: This is a proposal for a new map, not an announcement of one in development!! Approximately a 400 x 200 mile map (Could expand to include NAS China Lake and NAS Lemoore) Key features: NAS Miramar- Home of Top-Gun and the Navy's Pacific fleet fighters and E-2's NAS North Island- Home of S-3's, Helos and other aircraft. Edwards AFB- Home of USAF Test and Evaluation George AFB- Home of F-4E and the 'Wild Weasel' Mission Yuma Tact's Range- Range used for A2A and A2G training by Navy and Marine aircraft. MCAS/NAS El Centro- Base that USN/USMC Pilots trained at Pt. Mugu- Home of the USN Test and Evaluation Pacific Ocean expanding 200+ miles outside of San-Deigo for ship and carrier operations many other features.. Cool things you could do with this map: Make a Top Gun campaign based out of Miramar Make a Wild Weasel F-4E campaign out of George Practice F-14/F-4(B/S/N), F-8 carrier ops out in the Pacific Ocean (F-4 and F-8 are on the way) Make a campaign based out of Pt. Mugu where you go from flying USN F-4's with VF-103, to flying F-4's and being one of the first VX-4 pilots to fly the F-14 Tomcat. Then Transition to being CVW-14 LSO abord Enterprise for the first deployment with VF-1 and 2.

_Hoss Posted May 1 Posted May 1 You would need NAS Fallon for Top Gun, and Strike U. MCAS Miramar is now mostly USMC. NAS North Island has the other USN aircraft. All the F/A-18s are at Lemoore, along with the F-35s. Sempre Fortis
R. Winters Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) I had in mind 1980's Miramar! Pre Marine Corps ownership. I'm sure if this was a map you could do both. MCAS Miramar with hornets and F-35's or Nas Miramar with the F-14/F-4/F-8..etc More people would support and buy the map if it was peak Miramar with the F-14's. The hype of the F-14 and the original Top Gun would be a major selling point- and would be better marketing wise then USMC F-18's at Miramar. That's my opinion at least Edited May 1 by R. Winters 4
Andrew8604 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) Definitely NAS Miramar! ...about 1980, maybe. If you want an MCAS, then El Toro, just to the north! Call it the Miramar Map, or SoCal Map, or Fightertown Map? NAS Miramar (Fightertown - F-4s, F-8s, F-14s, E-2s, Top Gun - A-4Fs, F-5Es, TA-4s) NAS North Island (S-2 Trackers, S-3 Vikings, CH-46s, SH-3s, SH-2s) NAF El Centro (Winter home of the Blue Angels) NAS Pt. Mugu (Pacific Missile Test Range) NALF San Clemente Island MCAS El Toro (F-4s, F-18s, C-130s, CH-53s?) MCAS Yuma (F-4s, AV-8Bs) MCAS Camp Pendleton (AH-1 Cobras, CH-46s) March AFB (B-52Ds, KC-135As, C-130s, T-38s?) Davis-Monthan AFB (F-4s, A-10s, A-7Ds?) Include scenery of southern Arizona out to include Tucson and Davis-Monthan AFB, and Pacific Ocean out to about 127-deg West longitude. Somehow, do not go nuts with the city scenery details of Los Angeles and Phoenix...maybe just flat satellite imagery for those cities to try to keep file size down and framerate up. About 500nm of ocean to the west (Warning Areas W-289 & W-291, where the Tic-tac UFOs were, later on) and 350nm of mountains and deserts to the east of NAS Miramar, out to about 110-deg West longitude, giving an 850nm run, east to west. Keep it just about 200nm north to south. I'd definitely purchase this map! Edited May 8 by Andrew8604

That's my opinion at least Yes, around 1970-1985 was the heyday at NAS Miramar. I lived near there during that time up 2022. When it changed hands in 1993 to MCAS, the excitement died down. There was lots of flying activity in the 70s and 80s! I used to watch 'em fly over my house nearly every day. I just think modeling it about 1980 would be best. Fightertown USA, Top Gun. Of course, it's DCS! You could base a bunch of F-16s or MiG-21's there if you wanted to. Maybe extend it east to include Tucson/Davis-Monthan rather than north to China Lake and Lemoore? China Lake should be added to the Nevada Map...it really should. Give 500nm of ocean. Make it about 850nm east-west and 200nm north-south...just a thought. Avoid detailing the cities of Los Angeles and Phoenix to save HD space (so it's not a 300 GB map!) and keep framerates up. Just satellite images for those cities. So, roughly 400nm x 200nm of land. Maybe the size could be kept down to 80 GB?

A wish is a wish but your expectations are unrealistic. They don't make ultrawide type of maps in DCS. The city with just a flat satellite image texture is not acceptable either especially as well modeled LA or Frisco would be a major selling point.
