Any plans for new maps for DCS (accept Nevada)?

Hi!

 

Been flying all Eagle Dynamics sims since the old DOS version of SU-27 Flanker and own every module in the latest iteration etc. I just love all the good stuff that you have done over the years and I think FC3 will get me back in this world again (or if you get some opposition to that nice P-51 as it feels a bit lonely ;))

 

But... I am sorry to say that I'm rather tired of that Black Sea region now after almost 20 years... I know you guys are from that region so no offence ;) For me it would be nice with some new combat grounds after all these years, and being from northern Europe (Sweden) if would be nice with a map that could be used for a "Cold war gone hot" scenario now that we will get the aircraft needed in FC3? Sure, I will buy the Nevada map but if I would get to pick a region of the world to have in DCS it's actually rather far down the list and really only fits for a "Top Gun" training scenario in my mind ;)

 

I do naturally understand that doing a map of Germany/Poland or so would take a lot of time and there are many problems with the number of cities and road networks etc - but me and many others would have no problem paying $39 for it alone... And it sure would make the game easier to sell in the future? The P-51 and possible new friends to that plane sure would fit better over Germany than Georgia...

 

Maybe there are already plans for new regions by ED or some third party? There are so many subforums here and as a "lurker" it is hard to search everywhere, so sorry if there already have been tons of discussions about new maps ;)

 

Thanks /mazex

I have been around the forums a lot and unfortunately, there has been no announcement other than the Nevada map that I have come across.. However, I did hear that with the introduction of World and the possibilities of 3rd party developments, its possible a third party could be working on a new terrain that has not been announced. That is pure speculation however and only time will tell.

 

The reason we do not already have the nevada terrain is because the company that was originally making it when out of business and ED/TFC took over. But they scrapped it and started over again using edge. Obviously this is a point of tension for some folks because they pre-ordered the map with their A-10 versions. All I can really say is hold onto your flight suit because its coming, and its going to be great.
