Wichid Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If we get carrier ops we should get a map that is just deep blue sea... great for fleet defence in the Hornet.

Sierra99 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Something absolutely brilliant would be to add Afghanistan. These high mountains would make some pretty eye-candy, don't you think? I'm inclined to believe if they are going to the trouble to create desert terrain for Nevada, the same textures could be adapted to middle eastern maps. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan...throw a dart at a map of that part of the world and ya have some good combat options.

Kaktus29 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 for some reason i'm fed up with bombing huts and mig-21 with F-22)) thats why i prefer western europe theater.. i mean its modern, i can't imagine the feeling of flying F-15 through Munchen, or Paris.. and a well modelled Paris and Berlin.. thats unheard of.. i think it would also be more balanced as in HARD to win since both sides would be on the same tech level.. bombing Iran or Pakistan is very easy for the Blue force.. but try France vs. Germany and you have 50:50 chance of dying and succeeding..

TC Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The Nevada map is what it is, it could be used for training but seems like a waste to be used for training only.. so, how to conceive it in a war scenario..? As DCSW doesn´t handle a war scenario too well anyway, a training map where one can fly training missions does make the most sense anyway. Thus Nevada, if it´s ever released, is most appreciated by me. Cheers TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Why does it have to be real ? What about making a large map area that is fictitious, but has everything we all want, urban, desert, jungle, forest's and of-course the sea :) any thing to get out of Georgia lol !!! I prefere it to be real, because as i'm found of wwII planes and hélicoptères like Huey witch don't use "modern" navigation systems. And navigating in the sim is an other well done chalenge i like a lot !! The actual Georgia map is close to reality and finding all éléments to navigate are easyer to find than... fictional ones. :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron533 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Middle East, Israel region has a diverse terrain, from mountains in the north to deserts in the south, sea, lakes, real war history, and unfortunately present as well, all that and more in a realistic environment and reasonably flyable distances. Take for example the "battle for Sinai" campaign running now at the Falcon online/BMS F16 community. And don't forget you can fly almost in any era planes here, and it would be realistic! Like Spitfire and Messerschmitt in 1948, Mustangs, Mirage, Phantoms, Skyhawks , F15 ,F16, Mig 21/23/27/29 and many more who fought in the skies of this amazing region up to these days. Gulf map is also nice but it wouldn't have the terrain diversity of the Middle East since it's mostly flat desert and rather boring after a short time. Same goes for Europe and the Far East, mostly just green. Been there done that... :) Edited April 26, 2013 by ron533 Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Sandwich Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Honestly, i don't think most people outside of Greece and Turkey view the aegean as a hotspot. I think they'd be catering to a very small number of fans by exploring that option. That's why i didn't include it - would be kind of like me suggesting a Quebec vs Canada scenario. Not really in the forefront of most people's minds outside of that region. Edited April 26, 2013 by Ham Sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Sandwich Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So, has anyone heard any info about what the map sizes might be with EDGE? It would be interested to know, so we could speculate further about what sizes the future theaters might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haukka81 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I would like to see a new theater taking in scandinavia, the baltic states etc, basically northern europe.

Not really in the forefront of most people's minds outside of that region. The Aegean is so perfect for naval/amphibious ops though! So many little islands... Even if you are not interested in the factions, the terrain is very interesting. Besides, it could be extended up to include parts of Yugoslavia or something. 64 bit only is supposed to give us larger maps right? (if the EDGE improvements don't already) Or maybe even extend an Aegean map down to include part of Egypt or Libya. Open water doesn't count as "terrain size" does it? And a lot of people have been wanting longer mission flight times for refueling and bombing.

VincentLaw Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Well they have "SEA" in their icon at the top left don't they? I am willing to bet money that we will see revamped sea physics in the future, but probably not until there is a high/medium fidelity player naval module. These things are usually developed logically. Give it time. Is there somewhere else people would rather see for their naval module?

KaspeR32 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Like some others suggested, I'd love to see the entire globe.. Any unfinished areas could just display a generic texture, but would allow 3rd parties to eventually "stitch" together different theaters. Although, I would be curious from any programmers, (cptSmiley maybe?) If ED creates a circular globe for the scenery, would that change the AFM characteristics considering "down" would be just one point in the center of the globe, where as now "down" is a pretty broad space since it's flat.

Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Western Europe with the UK included would be fantastic! Cross-Channel missions and low level fun on the Mach loop when the Hawk is out :D And it would allow the good old scramble to intercept that one bloody Russian aircraft that strayed into British airspace :music_whistling: Or the Baltic region (with Nordic countries)? Quite some room for both air, sea and ground operations of all kinds, and Kaliningrad squeezing up the Baltic states makes it all even more interesting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Something I noticed, no one (no one at all) mentioned any portion of South America as a potential conflict zone. Although it's a mostly stable region, it has enough potential for troublesome scenarios. It's full of borders, there is a wide variety of terrain (from thick jungle to valleys and flat deserts), and it doesn't take much creativity to spark a conflict there - especially considering that Venezuela Additionally, the majority of local air forces, armies and navies count with fairly modern inventories and share equipment in common with NATO and Russia. Older factions can easily join in - US/NATO through the north and through its allies to intervene/invade, Russia through Venezuela and other allies, France has territory there with some deployments, France and NATO can use it. Territory is fairly massive (in other words, f***ing HUGE), we can use literally every single country we have there (perhaps not Georgia, although they did deploy troops in Afghanistan and so did Ukraine, so they're in again :D), all (literally) sorts of missions are possible, including COIN, intercept or long range strikes, there are two oceans and very wide rivers where ships can easily travel through. Anyone up for it? Of the aircraft that are not modelled currently (not to mention the ones which'd need upgrades), a lot are in the works by third parties and/or match the Vietnam-era people crave for. Not to mention that most countries fly the UH-1H :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rss0900 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 DCS needs a new map in a bad way I'm content to fly DCS a10-c on the current engagement area, but simply can't adjust to any of the other aircraft on this map. At least for me any success of add'ons will be dependent upon new areas to fly. I think this should be a priority for DCS or 3rd parties in development, the entire simulation is evolving but we have no new engagement areas. Release an aircraft with a new engagement area and I'll be happy to pay $50.00. I don't care who does it DCS or a 3rd party, but someone needs to. Yes I know there is some work in progress but it should be a priority if you ask me, and no need to tell me you did not ask ... I already know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) No one wants to develop new maps since ED announced they are replacing terrain engine soon. No SDK has been released by ED for new terrain engine supposedly called "edge". Yes, DCS needs new terrain. I'd be happy to pay 50$ for cold war era Baltic.
