New DCS Theater Maps Wish Wish List

[SkateZilla]

I'll be more than Happy to make a "Water World" Map.... With one Island somewhere in the Middle, or on each side to hold the USAF Assets.

There are lots of volunteers to make stuff, so let's just see who can actually do it when the SDK comes out. Of course, the volunteer also needs to be a DCS WWII backer. :P

So you're telling me that no one would actually make a huge 400km^2 flat plane in 3ds max and set it as water? lol.

 

Im a Backer.. and Since Im not a "Terrain Guy"... " Water World" and "Sand Trap" will be all I do, lol.

 

however if the SDK came with a Decent guide to get elevation data into Max and make the LoDs for the Terrain, I'd prolly look into it.

I am saying that the forum is full of idea people.

Water world would be fun. You could have AWACs or ships directing fighters to enemy ships and aircraft if DCS combined arms lets you have a bit of control over ships. Ships ships ships...ships. I'm done.

And I don't think Kevin Costner is doing anything these days so he should be available.

400km^2 flat plane

You will need to go bigger than that. All of the fast mover pilots will complain about having to fly in circles.

If it takes me longer than an hour to figure out how to make an ocean map, then something went seriously wrong with the SDK. I'm not a "map guy," but I had fun throwing together random stuff with the old Battlefield map tools. The main problem for the casuals will be lack of generic preset buildings (Assumption warning, and not a problem for water world either way), but maybe some nice people will make a free map assets project or something. That would go a long way for rapid community map development. Edited October 25, 2013 by VincentLaw

Not totally full of idea people, some of the forum is "crush other peoples ideas" people ;)

well if it's just low poly water map, it can prolly be super huge,

 

 

Thirdwire had fictional maps... so...

 

 

Like I said. one big 1000km^2 Sand Map with random Dunes, a few air bases, and a bunch of Tanks for the Hawg to shoot.

 

or one big 1xxxkm^2 water world, with a island in the middle,

 

Blue Naval Forces on One side, Red on the Other.

DCS: South Pacific

 

Roflmao:

[genbrien]

you'll still have people to whine about the ocean bed not 100% like IRL....

[SkateZilla]

Until we get underwater ops...it's pointless.

 

unless, I make the Ocean Bed with the Height map, and then put the water above it, but make it a bit more translucent.

[Antorian]

Then people will want subterranean combat, and then they'll want space combat, and it goes on and on and on...

If the idea is that fragile, then it should be packed better. ;)

Please. Don't tease me.

Switzerland map, with the Axalp range. DCS Hornet baby! 8)

[NRG-Vampire]

vote: Tatooine :lol:

 

[LexiconG2]

I wish we could have all of the above.

[Fogu]

Is there some kind of sdk Tool out for DCS World, all i can find is for FC2 and BS1?????

 

I love to make Terrains (i have done one in Arma 2).

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

there will be a map SDK released soon for the upcoming EDGE engine to the backers of dcs wwii....i dont know how and if non backers will get the SDK though.

[CypherGrunyev]

best korear shall rise agaiiiiin.

[cacti4-6]

this question is too hard. can i select like 5?

[arkroyale048]

For me I would prefer they release new locations according to the new modules...

 

IF DCS F/A-18E or C comes out... I would like for it to be in the Korean Peninsula... In homage to Jane's F/A-18 games...

 

If it's the F-15E then I would like for it to be set in the Middle East, in homage again to Jane's F-15E games as well as various novels that depict the F-15E.
