It would be nice if someone skilled and dexterous should make a model of the Sochi Olympic Park near Adler Airport and the olympic skipark up there in the nearby mountains near Krasnaya Polyana into our DCS World map...

 

Pretty pleeeease...

Would be nice but I doubt it'll happen.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

When the SDK is released maybe? :)

 

How will the EDGE SDK help with features for a map that is not using EDGE?

Why would somebody like to have this in DCS????

I caught myself thinking about that after posting. But since the old map will be flyable within EDGE while not using its features, it would be doable that the map tools are somehow compatible, no?

 

IIRC there were other maps done back in the FC/FC2 days (including Nevada, Afghanistan and Vladivostok, the two latter never being released). If someone with the knowledge used the same methods involved in creating these maps worked on the Black Sea one, it could be doable (as long as the map's files are accessible).

 

But I think it wouldn't be too wise to mod the whole map for that - we'd be limited to an xtremely short time frame.

 

Would creating static 3D objects placeable via ME do the trick?

 

PS: and what Isegrim said, these Olympics haven't started and already are nothing but shameful in every possible way. Stopping it at this since politics are a no-go here.

From a different perspective...

 

Why create an 'object' for the DCS landscape that would only make sense in a single location? The modellers/artists, and the community, would be better served by something more relevant to fleshing out the landscape than adding detail to one location.

Indeed, but if someone is extremely interested they could dedicate their own time to it. Some people might find it worth it, and if they do who are we to stop them :D I think occasion-specific elements CAN be good, if the occasion and its resulting missions and etc are interesting. WInter sports facilities may be useful later on for other winter maps/cities which have them (not anything even CLOSE to essential but if someone really wants it), but that's only if they're made generic rather than Sochi-specific.

 

But to the OP: AFAIK there is already a campaign on the user files section (or was it for FC2? Worth checking anyway) which is centered around the olympics, and they didn't need any of that. Think of it like this: it'll be the middle of winter. Odds are the weather will be downright wank. Plus, for most scenarios, if your flight finds itself directly on top of the facilities or within visual range of them in such weather, you either didn't do a good job fighting off attackers OR, if you're attacking the city itself (not going into human rights violations and what constitutes terrorism) you're AAA and SAM bait.

 

If really needed, there should be at least one stadium in Sochi already which you can use. :)

Hmm, sorry, but by that logic, they wouldn't model the unique casinos (like the Stratosphere) in Las Vegas for the Nevada map :doh:

Hmm,

the first Black Sea map is nearly 10 years old

Sochi Wintergames will take place in the future

Nevada still work in progress here now

and Vegas is definitely not conceivable without casinos

The OP was talking about someone making and add-on/mod for the existing map. That is an entirely different thing from the creation of the Nevada map.

The question is....

 

The question is......Why would you not want to add more detail to the map? Number one, that has now become a landmark, easily referenced from the air. Number two, the original source files for the needed 3d buildings will work for all renderers, textures only need to be changed. the Scenery SDK is already available.
