New DCS Theater Maps Wish Wish List

[Sharpe]

a couple of maps would be nice;

 

a fall 1944 western europe map (think from around Market-Garden to the Battle of the Bulge)

 

and secondly; A duxford map. For those warbird flyins or something called a virtual Flying Legends...

[Wolf Rider]

+1 for a Duxford map :thumbup:

[jib]

I think Iraq and possibly Syria would be the best places to map we could have the most realistic missions based on contemporary real life accounts.

Mediterranean Map Thater of Operations

 

What about creation of Mediterranean Map Theater of Operations

 

 

Includes Greece with Cyprus , Turkey,Israel , North Africa, Italy , France, Spain e.t.c

 

And Squads with F-16 all blocks 's , Mirage 2000 C/D , T-2,E A-7E, F-4 , AMX , Mirage F-1 ,Harrier , e.t.c.

 

 

I think would be cool for joint operations and new Era in combat hardcore simming.

Partly possible in FSX with Tacpack today but still waiting for FSX@WAR.

[HansRoaming]

Just anywhere will do me.

[agrasyuk]

You will get "YES!" Response to no matter what map. But I't doesn't change anything sadly.

Crimea and the Western Black Sea (Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria) please! If it can be combined with the existing map of Russia and Georgia, it would be amazing.

[Woogey]

Can we have different types of maps like say: Training Maps, War Zones, or Free Flight in all with no threats?

You don't need an apposite scenery for this (free flight in particoular), it depends by mission designers :).

[diveplane]

was a modder making maps in the works , small island . any more news on this.

[FlyNate]

I'd like to see Iran, Iraq, Balkans, Afghanistan or Korea as new theater of war.

 

Ah what the heck, give us an extended Georgia map (part of Turkey and the Crimea added) in EDGE and I'd be content.

 

yes, i agree about which is more probable ..but not also interesting.. i mean, who would like to fly in the potential iranian conflict? .. if you are american you can do all the damage by pressing buttons and launching tomahawks, and if you are iranian you have to hope that enemy invades you by infantry so you could get closer enough to kill something ..

 

on the other hand, Germany vs. France,UK, USA + Russia, China afterwards joining Germany? ..get out of here.. that would be interesting as hell, not to mention very hard to play, with all the sophisticated missiles and weapons aiming to destroy you...

 

i'm bored by this small conflicts and small wars that are more or less "a controlled slaughter houses" ..

 

Give us EU theater ))

 

WESTERN EU, or EXPAND THE CURRENT THEATER, ANYTHING BUT NEVADA OF ALL PLACES, lol :doh:

<ironic>Yeah! Stop working on Nevada immediately and take the next 3-4 years to create something different!

Best would be Arctic! Less elevation, no roads, no railways, no city... quick to do and not Nevada. </ironic>

[shagrat]

By the way, Nevada offers a Red flag scenario. Which means fight F-15c, F-18 or whatever against sophisticated F-15c, F-16 pilots "simulating" OPFOR... challenging enough? And it's 100% what real combat pilots do! ;-)

Ok, trolling apart. My guess is, if we see Nevada emerging soon, we hopefully get more map designers doing additional maps and maybe ED opens up the SDK sometime. There were people already working on maps of Afghanistan and Korea/ South-China areas with the old engine, who stopped working as EDGE was announced.

If these maps can be converted/integrated easily, it may take far less time than we think. At least I'd like to hope it is.

I believe a valid new map, but it has to match the aircraft in the game, because nothing good is a map where the not historical facts may be represented by the air force available ingame. Some good new planes como to the game this year maybe, but they cant have any significatve campain in the game whit georgias map

The current map has been a place tensions since at least 1941 and up to now. The only problem is there isn't really a space for the Blue side (which would be Turkey).

 

On top of that Iran just barely scrapes the bottom right corner with Iraq to the west and south of that.

 

I still the think it's one of the best maps possible for DCS given the aircraft we have/expect to have. It just needs to grow.

Korea Map - ED please consider (Not Political)

 

I believe a map and campaign area of the Korean Peninsula would work very well as a fictional war theatre for DCS World.

 

If a Korea map was created campaigns based on the 1950s Korean Conflict could be created and then fictional conflicts in the 60s-90s and into the new century could be created.

 

This would allow a whole range of aircraft and weapons to be considered. With a 1950s campaign the existing P-51 could be used and Russian/Chinese/Korean aircraft, of that era, could be designed as adversaries. I recently watched a DVD about the greatest fighters of WWII and it mentioned the Vought Corsair was used right up to the 60s and in Korea. I am sure lots of simulator pilots would love to fly this aircraft.

 

I am no expert on the Korean conflict, however my understanding is that jets like the Mig-15 and F-86 Sabre were quickly introduced into this conflict. Who wouldn't want to fly these jets?

 

I am not a warmonger and I am glad this never happened, but if Korea and the NATO had sporadic conflicts, right up to the present day, a whole range of aircraft could be considered including the modern jets and helicopters that are already part of DCS World.

 

DCS World WWII will be wonderful to have, however the Normandy Campaign has been done so many times already in IL-2 and Cliffs of Dover another campaign theatre needs to be considered. I believe a different campaign theatre should be considered to give DCS World a wider market and longer life. I don't feel Iraq and Afghanistan should be used because of the conflicts going there on and it would disrespectful to our veterans to have a theatre of war based in this region.

 

Falcon 4.0 showed a fictional theatre of war can be based in Korea. I don't believe the Korean Peninsula is that large and could be created within DCS. Please believe me when I say I bear no ill will against the North or South Koreans.

 

I know what I am proposing is a huge body of work, however it gives DCS World a way of linking and using classic aircraft like the P-51 and then have a continuous time line to introduce the modern jets.

 

I hope my ideas are taken into consideration by Eagle Dynamics.

I dont know for how long I been waiting for a "real/realistic" Vietnam air war sim. Specially now when we have the Huey and soon the Mig-21. And what I have seen there is still some planes from that era in the planning.

 

What can be more fun than flying the Huey into a LZ in a jungle alley and listen to CCR - Fortunate Son while F4's dropping napalm in the treeline?

 

And then maybe sometime in the future, even carrier missions can be available? That would be heaven! Its the perfect scenario! :)

 

Janes USAF with its Vietnam part feels a little bit outdated i guess... :D

[Hypo]

Wolf obviously agrees that a Korea campaign map should exist:

EDGE MAP Requests -> switzerland or scotland

 

Would love to see a switzerland and scotland EDGE scenery map in DCS (2015 - 2017).

 

I bet it would be very much fun to fly around in that wonderful landscape with oculus rift

[CHSubZero]

+1 for Switzerland

Would be nice to fly in the mountains, seeing some glaciers and performing Axalp shooting missions in the mountains

 

Nice video: Swiss Air Force in the mountains:

[Boberro]

Swiss in DCS? Look at geometry of mountains now. They are just simple rectangles, triangles and that's all.

I doubt EDGE will give quality of gemoetry similar to ARMA or World of Tanks.

 

Scotland is easier, but easiest should be Netherlands. As flat as plank :D

[Sceptre]

make new zealand pls

hehe, yes true, but i have the hopes that the EDGE Engine will bring here realy big improvements (or at least i hope it will be the same quality like the altwolf sceneries).

 

I hope a high quality edge map could rais the same quality like some high quality FSX sceneries, for example this one ->

[O_Smiladon]
