DCS Terrain Tool for 3rd party developers?

[hannibal]

Oh, my mistake. I thought you were asking about 3rd party maps, as per the title of this thread.

 

i was, but they way you put it.. it sounded like u had some inside info about ED making maps...

What if someone opted to do whole world, difficult as hell and might take years, but that will be beautiful as heaven.

Right now most of the people working on maps are keeping it within 500km x 500km. The creation of the land mesh is actually quite simple, which is why sparse desert maps are a pretty good option at this point in time just as map developers get into the swing of things. Populating the maps is time consuming.

 

What would you guys like to see with A-10C?

 

I can think of some theaters and environments for a post 2007 world which could accomodate the A-10C quite well:

 

Iraq/Iran Border - Iran invades Iraq (moderately hard to make because of object count)

Venezuela - Venezuela attacks Columbia (harder to make because of object count)

Northwestern Pakistan - Defeat remnants of Taliban and Al Quaeda (relatively easier to make)

Alaska - Fairbanks training (easier to make - sparse tundra/mountains, but with Nevada this would be redundant)

Korean Peninsula - Self explanitory (very hard to make - lots of stuff here)

Azerbaijan - Russian invades from North, Iran invades from south (hard- lots of stuff here)

Kazahkstan - China invades for natural resources, Russians and US intervene (easier to make - sparse grasslands/desert)

Would like to see the Lebanon/Israeli/Syrian border. Very active and lots of hide and seek up there. Some nice terrain to model and not too many cities.

 

Also, some of the islands or the West of Taiwan would be a good scenario (hopefully never to happen in real life). A-10C in Korea could easily be flown to Taiwan (eg. via Kadena in Okinawa).

I would say go for Iraq... :music_whistling:

 

The 1st close fly by I saw in Iraq at the last days off the war was a 4 ship of A-10 (wasnt a C, C was used in 2007 over Iraq) about 100 meter high heading toward the western Iraqi Airbases..

 

was great :pilotfly:

Lucky me they didnt open fire

The problem with introducing a major power like China is you need to create unique tanks and planes for it as well.

 

Also I think Taiwan would be best saved for an F/A-18 sim, due to the maritime nature of the scenario.

Iraq and Iran have always been a good spot for a scenario. The geopolitical landscape in the region is very interesting, with Iraq now being a major US ally between Syria and Iran.

3ds max is good but for land would you think this is more better suited??

EDIT: I havent used it yet mind you..

[T-Bone]

The tools are compatible with 3ds Max only.

I know that...

Well it would be realistic if you do it since Iraq is getting 96 F-16, C-130, Bell ARH-70, MH6, UH-1, Mi-17 little bird plus the old migs...

 

 

Aso many new ground forces so it will look good and I sure wanna drop some GPU bombs over baghdad :lol:
