Additions requested: hope this isn't redundant...

It seems that Nevada is missing some pretty obvious bonuses that it could get. Maybe these are in work, and if so, oops!

We're too far south to get Fallon NAS. But, it seems that we glossed right over Edward's AFB (Muroc Airfield) and China Lake. There's likely a couple others here or there, like even Palmdale, which is also pretty significant.

Has this been beat to death already? Is there any word on whether there are or ever will be some plans for these significant details? I feel as though somebody knows something about this, and I missed it...

Nevada is complete, there will be no expansion as of yet.

Yes, just look through the main threads and wishlist.

NTTR was made in 2016 and it was specifically focused on NTTR and Nellis. China Lake is there as a ground texture but it's out of the high detail area. Edwards and Fallon are way out of the scope.

We beg for years to even fix fat taxi lines or the night lighting but here we are.

I think this kind of threads are very natural. There have been words of ''not planned'' going around this subject.
The F-15C was also ''not in the plans'' until we had the surprise announcement of the module being shown as soon to come in DCS. Perhaps an NTTR upgrade goes on the same road.

NTTR is an old map and the community shows there is a market for an upgrade (paid product).

"as of yet"

So you're sayin' there's a chance!

Perhaps with NTTR 2.0 or whatever they will be coming up with.

I hope every Friday for an announcement in the newsletter there will be a NTTR map 2.0

I suppose the quality that the DCS team will feel they need to maintain for Edward's and China Lake would be too far to go? Those both are in the map area, as well as Palmdale, and a few others. It seems they've forgotten about this map, or feel it's got enough to it already, I suppose. Too bad. There's a lot of history in this area, and could become a target-rich environment. There's a lot of bases that could be added, and scenery improved. The shadows are baked in, even. It's not bad, but it's already not at their current level of quality with the other areas they have now. Afghanistan is at a higher level than this, and has very low demand/use online. They could have done so much with this area. It seems rather disappointing to include it at all with how barren it is.

Be fair, how can you compare these maps? One completed 9 years ago. The other still in early access, not even fully made, WIP. Also the scope was very clear from the beginning - it was supposed to be Vegas and NTTR area made in high fidelity (for the time) while the rest only low quality. It was a great success and a lot of campaigns and missions were made and are made to this day. Yes, it shows its age and could use some maintenance but baked shadows? No such thing here.
