Woogey Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Back to the ole' Russia vs. USA fallback. I think a Siberia/ Alaska campaign should be high on the list of Future map packs. Just think from the modeling stand point, Wide open terrain with very little buildings to model. Small towns here and there on both sides. A couple "major" cities. There are Good military bases on both sides of the Straight. A naval campaign is very do-able. Oil fields to fight over, Natural resources. Tundra, Mountains, and forests. If Alaska as a whole could be mapped, cites, villages and refineries could be developed as third party/ userfile addons. General aviation traffic (Bush planes, and such) could be the first entries into the civilian market, (for an added sense of immersion). As an American, I would be very interested in exploring the Siberian countryside. Countless possibilities.
Silver_Dragon Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Good idea, but for a Civilian airplane simulator on DCS world need move to a World map or similar, and improve ATC, civilian trafic and other features.

KosPilot Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 At this point in time, no. The interaction with the civilian world in means of navigation aids and ATC is currently not at the necessary fidelity. Besides, if included in a war scenario, civilian traffic would be subject to target practice. I don't think a "Civilian" pilot would come back for more. I do however think if ED took on competing with X-Plane and such like in the "commercial" market, ED could come out on top.
Woogey Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 X-plane sucks. The first thing I look at is accuracy. All of there aircraft look like crap. Whoever does there 3D modeling is not being overseen by QA. The shapes are all wrong. If only ED could get a "World Map" operational......... I had this idea to create this cloud covered world where as you purchase new map packs, these areas would be "unclouded." Anywhere that is open water could be left as a visible area.
