Oscar Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 At the end of the day it's very sandy, you'll soon get bored of it and hark for some trees and lakes. Same could be said for Iraq and Afghanistan........... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

MemphisBelle Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I dont really get the Nevada desert thing, what is it supposed to be? Will the Nevada desert the new terrain which will be a new part in the DCS world? So how can I imagine this ingame...a totally new area besides the Black Sea Area? What about the KA50, is it possible to put both crafts together on Nevada desert map or Georgian map (same for further expected modules)? Great images by the way Edited July 12, 2010 by MemphisBelle BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection

What about the KA50, is it possible to put both crafts together on Nevada desert map or Georgian map (same for further expected modules)? Great images by the way It's where all the training takes place, gun ranges etc. I'm guessing it's an immersion thing, you don't train in the area of combat, you train in the US. The Nevada terrain MOD has always been very popular, this just makes it a bit more official. I doubt you'll ever see a KA-50 in the real Navada desert, but perhaps in the DCS world ;)
redberon2003 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah, I love that terrain and the 3d model looks beautiful. What about the shadow under that parking roof ? Oh let's say it's just WIP :) Nice update, looking forward to Producer's note #3. And BTW: Since you're going into nice details as that little shelter, I'd love to see some taxi signs and taxi markings on the ground in this kind of fashion:http://www.airportinfosite.com/Runway_and_Taxiway_Signs/Taxiway_Intersection_Sign.jpg and http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/publications/directline/dl3_taxi_f1.gif And to that extent: They should also build the airports in comforming with location and design of their real world counterparts - Taxi ways and information signs placed and designated as per the US AIP, A full set of charts would be A+ as well. Take my A-10C IFR through nevada :pilotfly:
element1108 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 It's only new terrain guys..... looks good thought. At the end of the day it's very sandy, you'll soon get bored of it and hark for some trees and lakes. Visual ref points are a bit lacking too...easy to get lost. Hope we get lots of old plane wrecks and proper ranges, any chance?:music_whistling: New terrain geography will always make a sim fan happy. ;) http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=Nellis%20AFB&gs_upl=1552,48,6,2,96,111,5,1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl Lots of visual references ;), that black highway for one thing. I think it would be pretty interesting to have a MP server setup at Nellis specifically for online training. A-10's taking off and rtb, formation takeoff's, landings etc. Throw in a dedicated ATC in there and I would be very happy! Anyway you can let us know what the Nevada map size is?
amalahama Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) What about the KA50, is it possible to put both crafts together on Nevada desert map or Georgian map (same for further expected modules)? This actually is a good question. I wouldn't expect an answer until DCS:A10C is out at the earliest though Regards!! Edited July 12, 2010 by amalahama

ShalashakaDS Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 amalahama, i cant imagine why it wouldnt be possible, i mean, all DCS titles are suposed to end up as single interconected title right?
159th_Viper Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 ....all DCS titles are suposed to end up as single interconected title right? Not necessarily.

Oscar Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 They should also build the airports in comforming with location and design of their real world counterparts - Taxi ways and information signs placed and designated as per the US AIP, A full set of charts would be A+ as well. A simple Google for "Nellis AFB (KLSV)" should put you on links for all kinds of sectional charts, airport diagrams, arrival and depature charts and references, range descriptions, Red Flag information, etc, etc. I would not expect ED to provide all this information. As for Nellis itself, just looking at the screenshots you can determine whether or not the airfield is "comforming with location and design of their real world counterparts". It clearly is. The 03/21-R/L runways are clearly visable in the first screenshot, along with Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Las Vegas in the background. The A-10 in picture #1 is on an approximately 32-33 heading north-northwest of Las Vegas headed out over the Desert MOA (approximately 36°44'17"N 114°54'31"W) - just a guess on my part. In shot #2, you can clearly see State Route 7 (HWY 93) just above the Interstate 15 intersection. The last screenshot is more than likely taken from Ramp G looking across the runways towards the main flightline. All in all, I'd say the "accuracy" is right-on. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
wildone_106 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I cant tell you how nice it is to see something other than GREEEEEEEEN. Looks amazing!

I would go as far as to say it's easier to copy what already exists than to "make it up" so yeah I would fully agree the accuracy of this airport/terrain is probably bang on.

diveplane Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 nice . however the concrete tarmac apron ,aircraft parking looks to clean imo, little more weathering on this would look great, and tyre rubber . https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

Cornbread Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I fly a good deal out of Nellis in FSX with TileProxy, and those screenshots looks absolutely spot on. R.A.D.I.C.A.L., dude. Edited July 12, 2010 by Cornbread Editor by trade, and I can't stand misplaced commas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
polygonpusher Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Great job so far Wags! I wish the DCS sdk was compatible with more 3d packages however. 3d Studio Max is quite an expense on a hobbyist budget, and unfortunately has become the only available option for many game related plugins. If only Lightwave would do more developer courting...

US Aeronautical information is made freely available, and wouldn't be difficult at all to license for the game, nor expensive. (Unlike for other places in the world, where jeppesen is commonly the only option of charting, extraordinarily expensive charting...... Because the US government makes this a cheap option for all pilots, including this information as it (hopefully) appears in game is expected in my opinion. Including release date versions of enroute L-9, L-7, H3/4, the Las Vegas Sectional, Terminal and DP/IAP charts for the respective airports modeled in the scenery would not be difficult, or pricy. It's also to the benefit of the user. Cheap+good for users=Good for Eagle Dynamics :). Plus where else are you supposed to find charts if you're a noob to hardcore sims? eh? if I didn't have my pilot's license I wouldn't know where to look for this shit, let alone that it exists :). needs to be included for users to experience it. Edit: and better yet? Include a lesson on charts, their applicability, purpose, and how to fly using them. Edited July 12, 2010 by redberon2003
