Yellonet Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 What is the possibility that we could get new maps for new theater of operations in Lock-on? An India/Pakistan map perhaps... some fight about Kashmir.. Or some other hot area. Please don't tell me that you have no intention of supplying more maps for Lock-on... this game should be allowed to grow :D i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Maverick-90 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 the main point we don't get new maps is the time waste, it takes years to build a scenario from scratch, even the known landscape which is taken from flanker 2.5 took a long time to "perfect" it
Yellonet Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 Well I wouldn't call it a waste as it would add very much to the game. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Kula66 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Its been discussed at great length before ... there are 1000's of hours of time invensted in the maps/terrain. New maps = more time ... that means less time on something else, AFM for everything, more detail terrain of the current area, little people running around, A2G radar modelling etc (the list is endless)... When you are up there flying around, does really matter where you are .... just that there are plenty of things to blow up/fly under/over etc. In a world with unlimited development budgets it would be great to have it all ...
Maverick-90 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 well ED could release a landscape editor to the community and tell us which scenario they want, so we can build it..........afterwards they test it and decide wether to use or to kill it

Gazehound Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Are we really getting any of that before Lock-on dies? Were certainly getting it before more map I hope :icon_excl VVS504 Red Hammers
Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Were certainly getting it before more map I hope :icon_excl Probably LO-2 will use the same maps, models etc. and add better AI and new flyables. We will get 1.2 in 2006 and I am sure a 1.3 in 2007, 1.4 in 2008 ... that would make much more $$$ sense to ED.
Yellonet Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 Were certainly getting it before more map I hope :icon_exclI hope so too... but releasing a map editor to the public would not hurt the game or delay other projects unless they will have to make such an editor from scratch :( i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
SwingKid Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Some map editing tools created by the community are already available. Anyone who is interested to seriously work on the map should send me or Alfa a private message (PM). Everybody else should stop asking ED for these imaginary "tools". -SK
Pilotasso Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Im surprised that so many people here seemingly with so much free time on their hands (not me though:biggrin: ) had not a formed a MODDING community such as F4 yet...there are half a dozen finished maps ou there for this game already. Anyone seriously interested to get new maps and has the free time should grab those utilities and make themselves. .

SwingKid Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 You need to know how to read and follow given instructions. Judging from the (forum post : private message) ratio we see here, nobody qualifies. :p -SK
