Sephyrius Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yes I agree Vietnam could definitely be awesome, it has everything from sea to land areas, jungle, cities and could integrate many of the modules. Would look very different than any map we have so far. And as a twist for non-'Nam era pilots, they could very easily include the South China Sea islands as a modern-day hotspot area.

33-DFTC Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Talk by ED team sometimes on the russian forum. The "Persian gulf" coming from the old "Strait of Hormuz" map project. That was centred on the 2011-2012 Strait of Hormuz dispute, never was planned a "all Persian gulf" map. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Strait_of_Hormuz_dispute I don't get your argument about the "All of Persian Gulf map" modelization. Bahreïn is within the limits of the actual map. I was not arguing about the fact that the island had to be populated with cities, airports and ports, but that the entire island is missing. They could have put the island even without texture to give some sense of orientation, but no the entire kingdom is simply gone. This is really odd to erase an entire country (just an island mind you) from a region as important as this one. I'd love to know the reason why they chose this path. Look at this map and the localisation of the Bahreïn Patriot site. Is this a strech to think they could have put a "piece of land" at this place even with a generic texture to allow us to place SAM systems ? There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The "real" map was expanded from the initial limits, and the initial map never reach Bahreïn. Initial First expansion all zones outside that limit has low resolution zones. Missing Bahrein island as missing others zones and island the west and north as Kharg Zork, Bubiyan and some UAE islands. That zones has not important to the map context but never was planned detail that zones. Has the same situation with the outside Normandy peninsula lack of detail, No sea and missing detail on north Arizona on NTTR map and east and south coast of black sea and missing the eas t Caspian sea on Caucasus.

33-DFTC Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 [...]all zones outside that limit has low resolution zones Have your ever flown on this map to make such deceiving claim ? Your frantic interventions towards anyone willing to make this game better is alarming. You're spreading false information and you're hurting the game despite you're trying to "protect" it. Here's a screenshot I just made outside your "limit". Do you feel the terrain is low resolution ? Again, I was not asking for a full resolution representation of Bahrein, just a landmass with stragetegic and geopolitic value in the region. There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted May 25, 2019 ED Team Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Totally get it, there is an entire island country missing. I think what SD is trying to convey is that the High detailed area was set and that Bahrein wasn't even on the map, then they expanded it to be more like the size of previous maps, and the mesh was just a basic mesh, this issue is now we made detailed places outside the original map, and it kinda highlights for people that know the area that there is something big missing. There are other islands missing on other maps as well, although this one is a little more obvious. All that being said, I could (and will report it) but even if they add the terrain mesh for the island and not saying they will, it will have nothing on it, and be just a barren island. No further areas of detail are planned for the PG map, just to keep that in mind.

33-DFTC Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thank you for your reply NineLine. I know there is very little chance that even a mesh would be added to the current map ; after all Wags warned us that the current version was final. If someday, by chance, a mesh could only be applied, at least we could use it to place the local A2/AD systems and enhance further our immersion. I do realize it must be an insignificant player base looking after this kind of detail. There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max22 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Is Eagle Dynamics predicting a large scale conflict in that area in the near future? Kind of wish they worked on a Korean war map for the mig and saber and possibly a Vietnam map for the Huey/mig21 and upcoming phantom. If you look at the past 70 years, biggest conflicts are in this (greater) area: USA + Iraq USA + Iran USA + Afghanistan Saudis + Iran Israel + Egypt + Lebanon + Iran + Syria Edited May 26, 2019 by max22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Um... Past 70 years? Are you talking about the PG map? 1. Iraq isn't on the map 2. The US never fought Iran (save for the whole Desert1 thing) 3. AFG not on map 4. Saudis never fought Iran 5. Israel isn't anywhere near this map. Otherwise historically, yes the ME has had plenty of conflict, mainly Arab/israeli wars, and then 2 US invasions of Iraq, and the iran/iraq war. Along with various hypothetical conflicts you mention. Might as well throw in Soviets vs Iran too, that could be a fun Cold war one. Then again a 2nd korean war has been a possibility since the Cease Fire for the last 70 years too.

He explained that, outside the main map borders are low resolution, which is true and nothing wrong with this. Simply you can not model whole world in high res This has nothing to do with the maps themselves.
