clafly Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Which map would you like for the next jet, in addition to Nevada? Edited January 30, 2012 by clafly
CheckSix Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 No Iran option? :( +1 :thumbup: CheckSix ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe G3, i7-2700k@4.5GHz, EVGA Classified GTX590 3GB, Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz, Prolimatech Armageddon CPU Cooler, Intel 510 SSD 120GB, Western Digital 750GB, Silverstone 1000W Gold, CoolerMaster HAF X case, CH Fighterstick, CH ProThrottle, CH Pro Pedals, TrackIR 5 w/ TrackClip Pro
bluepilot76 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 What about Nordcap / Murmansk etc Norway has already relocated its military further north, ready for a big one. Great scenery. Balkans looks just like Georgia. Technical Specs: Asus G73JW gaming laptop... i7-740QM 1.73GHz ... GTX460m 1.5GB ... 8GB DDR5 RAM ... Win7 64 ... TIR5 ... Thrustmaster T16000m
clafly Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 No Iran option? :( Not yet..:smilewink:. I think that Iraq or Iran are not very different..but in Iraq there was "Operation Desert Storm".
superfluid Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Iraq for sure... But I'm torn on GW1 or GW2.... GW1 had so much to offer: SEAD, Scud-hunting and ofcourse, how could we forget, tank busting some Soviet T-55's. GW2 had a lot more intimate CAS. i5 2500K | MSI GeForce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II | Corsair H100 Cooler | 16GB RAM | Patriot 120GB SSD | Freetrack 3pt Clip | Saitek X52 Pro
Frostiken Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) And what about whole US map? Nevada is just to small. People already got butthurt enough about Nevada "not being realistic", despite the fact no A-10 has ever dropped ordnance on Georgia... Doing the entire United States would be awesome though :) So much variation in terrain... Barring that... Colorado would be excellent. Rocky deserts to the west, massive mountains in the middle, plains and grasslands to the east. And lots of Air Force bases! Personally I'd *really* like fictional terrain, something designed with maximizing mission potential creativity. Canyons and mountains, oceans, forests, islands... something like ArmA 1's terrain, just blown up 10x in size. Edited January 30, 2012 by Frostiken [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
DayGlow Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Afghanistan for the variaty if terrain. CAS on a side of a mountain or narrow valley would be interesting. "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11
Deadman Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Afghanistan sections of it have hi res data available. It is a huge amount of work to make any map. Kudos to Lucky bob9 for all of his hard work that is making Nevada possible! A huge thanks you for the guys at for taking over the Nevada project to make it even better :thumbup: You really can not grasp the amount of work it is unless you have been around it https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Paco Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 How about some place where I can pronounce the names of the villages I fly over? :-) Paco

BTTW-DratsaB Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Unsurprisingly, I would like a small map so I could play a mission with out the bad performance that constantly distracts me from enjoying any mission I try.

Weta43 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 If we're talking extensions to the existing map - I guess adding Chechnya might seem in bad taste to the Russian community, even if quite close to the existing terrain (though any 'plausible' theatre is making entertainment of some country's suffering) Fictional theatres - NZ :-) 2 islands, lots of variety, surrouned by sea & close to Indonesia & Aus - using red & blue gear respectively. Indonesia / Australia (Australia being pretty easy to do a big map of, 'cause lots of it's empty except for holes in the ground :-) Afghanistan... Cheers.

Weta43 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 by that logic, any war-based game is a trivialization of war itself ...(etc) That's a very interesting line you argue - that trivialisation of war in games & art is commonplace, and those that have attempted to do so in a realistic manner have been 'shot down' for it, so we should just roll over & go with it... I'd say that recent, bloody conflicts occuring close to your target audience's homes & in which their friends and relatives may have died tend to be attached to more raw emotion & so have to be presented in a pallatable way - with heroes on the home side & strereotypical 'baddies' on the other. Someone gets to be the 'other' in DCS. The further away in time and space a war is from you and your loved ones, the easier it is for people to accept that war is unpleasant and usually not as clearly defined into good and bad as people would like them to be. Films about the grimness of WWII are fine for mainstream viewing, & as you said - films about the grimness of the Iraqi war are less palatable to the genreal US public the whole argument about recent conflicts being taboo is in fact one huge joke and people need to stop giving it any credence. I didn't say Chechnya was taboo - just that I don't know whether Russian audiences would consider this a 'play' subject yet (or the Chechnyans for that matter), and Russians are a large part of the target audience (Chechyans probably less so..). But : What people feel is taboo is what is taboo.. It's not a rational, fact based category. Menstrual blood, peoples heads, food, portraying the enemy as human - if they're taboo in your social circle they are - simple as that. You can decide to ignore the taboo - & risk social disapprobation (critical failure), but they're only a joke in the same way any religious belief or emotional reaction is a joke. anyway, i doubt chechnya would be viable. even if it was made, the lack of data would surely make that piece of terrain indistinguishable from the rest of the caucasus. True, but it's a second actual conflict zone nearly on the map already... I think the same could be said for most of the borders in Europe - without a map you don't know where they are (except the Caucuses, and the Alps). Cheers.
Kim Silva Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 With the ongoing development of the fast movers, I would tend to increase the actual battlefield... The whole black sea is a quite an interesting place, where, the western Europeans, the Russians and the Arabic nations are coming very close to each others boarders... We need space, for dynamic campaigns in future and in developing new campaigns. So it just would make sense, to increasing the already, given TOW. And in 5 or ten years , we might have whole Europe, or other places getting in to it. Where still Iran and turkey would be just to good to be added. So, consider not the only the fun part or, building map, of an homeland of the most customers, more and increasing aspect of the options we can have and get. The future should like a war scenariou with diffenerent countries, long distances and yes, maybe a world war, where the logistics in the campaigns need to be taken into account. And when there might be the dynamic campaign option will be available, you might consider to replace you actual airport, and do a ferry flight to get closer to the action, or further away... But I do totaly agree that, Chchnya, isnt a good option of the actual situation and long lasting dirty war, where the aircraft role is anyway more single sided and we have already the a10... Cheers
badger66 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 You forgot the most important one in my opinion ..... European front !!! I voted for Balkan ..... desert is just boring , if youve ever been in one .
