New DCS Theater Maps Wish Wish List

[GeorgeLKMT]

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

 

Geometry in current engine is irrelevant. And why shouldn't EDGE give us quality geometry? It's one of the reasons they're making a new engine and it's also nothing that would be impossible... FSX can have 1m mesh resolution and that's a game from 2006.

[Presing]

Yeah Swiss and Scotland also put South an North pole, what we do with out that. DCS: New Zealand bombing of two towers and return of the MiG king. :-D

[flare2000x]

Norway, Sweden, anything Scandinavia please.

I would really like to see Israel and its sorrauninds, Plus other aircraft like the F-16I would be very cool to see that, I was flying a bit in the Israeli theater in Falcon 4.32 and i really enjoyed it, would really like to see that theater in DCS :D

+1

 

Historical Wars where you can find heaps of data to make as realistic as possible.

 

MY BEST SEVEN War Theaters:-

 

1./ Israeli Campaigns -

 

2./ Iraq Wars (ODS)

 

3./ Afghanistan

 

4./ Vietnam

 

4./ Balkans

 

5./ Korea

 

6./ Falklands

 

7./ Libya

 

 

............... possible few more but wouldn't it be better to introduce a DCS World Map like in FSX then you can select where you want to be and formulate an aerial battle strategy in your briefing stage mission planning phase . I.e . Fuel, Sortie Air Craft types, AWACS, ordinance, Threats, safe passage route etc................

 

Well basically these are the realistic hot spots and historical past wars and you can find heaps of background study

 

 

Cheers,

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

+1 for Scotland, love to be able to recreate some of the flight routes they have up there, on a good day you could see the aircraft orbiting waiting for their turn at bombing at the range at Portmahomack

[Buckeye]

I like all the ones listed in here, my addition would be Korea.

[StormTalon627]

For the best realistic conflict, I think the Aegean would be the best with Greece vs Turkey. Russia could technically support either side as could NATO (or the alliance could sit out and just a few members get involved), it all depends on how the scenario is set up.

 

I would personally go for something where Russia takes Thrace and Istanbul in a combined effort of the VDV and Black Sea Fleet to protect the Dardanelles and shipping through the Black Sea, so defacto supports Greece while other NATO members get involved to remove the "Russian meddling in an internal NATO conflict." If possible the map could expand to include Syria too or have a separate Syria map, which could join Greece/Russia in countering its old rival to its north which is probable after recent skirmishes between the two. The Georgia map could be recycled for a few missions to fit the scenario as Georgia would most likely align with Turkey/NATO to get another shot at taking back S. Ossetia and Abakhazia while Russia is busy in the Dardanelles.

 

At least this way there is not the tired "good guy vs bad guy" set up that typically plagues these kind of scenarios, but rather several powers simply looking to further their own goals.

[Sceptre]

Me?

1. Falklands

2. Afghanistan/Iraq one of those Arab places

3. Germany (fictional cold war conflict)

4. Vietnam

5. Korea

On a side note, I also like to play as Russia, I always see them as the "good guys" in games.

Personally I never understood why so many wants an Afghanistan map. I flew around the "Southwest Asia" map in TOH:Hinds and the landscape is _very_ featureless (as in RL). (Almost) no high buildings to buzz, no bridges to fly under, no ocean for shipboard op, only flat desert and a few very small villages. Sure there are some nice mountain ranges but they have that in other places too. I'd love a Western European map (ie Fulda gap) but the high population density might be hard on the frame rate.

[shagrat]

People want to have REAL combat zones, to relive or reinstate REAL conflicts. I love the idea of an Afghanistan map, or Iraq, because there were plenty real life engagements from Helicopter raids, CAS with nearly every platform from F-15 over F-18, A-10 to AH-1 and UH1... Real battles that happened in real places! A realistic "Fulda gap" would be a training sortie with the A-10A in the 80ies... or a pure fiction that never happened. Well, If all that matters is a big battle with lots of different units involved, Nevada should be fine: 'Red Storm Rising' scenario, Russia invaded the US from Cuba and presses north. US and European allies try to stop them in the Nevada desert! Have fun :D

[Knubinator]

I think south America would be pretty neat. Depending on the max possible map size, I can think of a few places that would be good for us to use.

[shagrat]

With EDGE size should no longer be a problem. As far as I understood it can do dynamical preloading of surrounding areas... so in theory the whole earth should be possible. Not sure if objects will be a limit on a server, though!

And please, this is just what I read between the lines, so take it as such.

It's gotta be the middle east. Let's face it there's always something kicking off around there plus some diverse scenery. I'm so bored of the current map!

[gear_monkey]

I've been with this sim series since the release of Lock-On. I've been a computer flight sim enthusiast since 1987.

I am completely burned out of this terrain map!

I love the complexity of the A10 but every time I fire it up, I look at the map and yearn (like Kramer) for a new map.

Given the prominent roll the Warthog has had in Iraq/Afghanistan, I can't believe we don't have one of those maps to play.

Sad but true on so many levels

Exactly what I wish for a long time... well, since DCS A-10C was in Beta!

[rrohde]

Iraq and Afghanistan for me as well. Afghanistan would be interesting because it lends itself to the Soviet-Afghan war as well.

[Knubinator]

If like to see Oceania, or the Baltic sea, the Caribbean, the Balkans, the Aegean, or even somewhere like the Kurils.

[MagicBra]

North Africa with Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and some of the south European coastal countries (Spain, Italy, french Corsica, ..) could be cool :)

It would offer desert, green lands, mountains, various power plant systems, many airports and airstrips.

 

And it's beautiful to fly over the Atlas mountains :)

But any theater bigger than NNTR from beta would be great :)

[Spyros]

The interesting thing about the Greek theater, besides the beautiful terrain, is that you can simulate a Greece vs Turkey conflict, with western equipment on both sides making friend or foe identification more challenging.

 

You can also have cold war scenarios with Greece against Warsaw Pact countries to its Northern border (Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria etc), retaining the Western vs Eastern equipment option.

 

Or if you want to make it more interesting and realistic, Greece vs Turkey vs Warsaw Pact and a Civil War, all at the same time. :D

 

The Korean theater, although not as nice according to my taste, would be more appropriate for the F-86 and Mig-19 though.

[shagrat]

I still would like to be able setting up real life conflicts from the past.

The ultimate would be Afghanistan with all the places we have in the books, Camp Bastion, Lashkar gah, Gereshk and the green zone from the Kajaki dam down to Garmsir. Then Bagram Airbase, Kandahar, the Shahikot and Korrengal valleys. Tora Bora, Kyber pass to Peshawar in Pakistan. Mazar-e-Sharif down to the Hindukush with Operation "Lightning" and so on. Plenty engagements most of them with air support and perfect for the Hog, Hueys, Mi-8, Ka-50, SU-25/T and Mig-21bis (ground attack role), the Hawk as a CAS plane... or the middle east/Iran-Iraq. Lots of REAL engagements in real places!

If somebody complains about the lack of balanced dogfighting than it is definitely the "frowned upon" NTTR range map! Every year a real life dogfighting training with balanced planes during Red Flag exercise... since over a decade the only balanced flying of fighter jets against one another.
