DCS: The Channel Map


Silver_Dragon

Recommended Posts

There was a screenshot of the P-47 in a newsletter some months ago, which AFAIK has also been taken on the Channel Map.

 

Here it is:

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

When will the map be processed? Battle of Britain or later ?

 

It will support missions and campaigns between the late 1930s and 1945, we will have more details in our news letter today.

 

thanks

The harbour area and town is Ramsgate: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Ramsgate/@51.3451403,1.3885536,13.22z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x47d94cd3255c6b75:0x579401fdfa599855!8m2!3d51.335545!4d1.419895

 

Given the Concrete runway shown at Manston that kind of sets the date as 1944; a product of Manston's increasing use as the first point of safe let down for ailing allied aircraft damaged or low on fuel from attacking Germany and the low countries, this "crash" runway - some twice the length and 3 times the width of a standard runway - was commissioned in 1943 and completed in April of '44. Prior to that Manston was a large grass airfield.

Will it include part of DCS Normandy map?

A Channel map for late war piston fighters, why ?

 

 

  • Operation Steinbock
  • Intercepting V-1s. But need to wait for the V-1 in DCS WWII assets.
  • Mosquito cross-channel raids pre-Normandy
  • Training area for pilots before deploying to the continent
  • Jabo hit-and-run raids against SE-England (e.g. Operation Giesla)

And maybe, they are thinking ahead to releasing earlier-era aircraft (thus, DCS Battle-of-Britain)?

"Operation Steinbock"

 

Are the Do-217 and the He-177 planned ?

 

"Intercepting V-1s."

 

Is the Tempest planned ?

 

Basically, we have not the planes for such a period and also those combats were rather limited.

 

 

"they are thinking ahead to releasing earlier-era aircraft (thus, DCS Battle-of-Britain)?"

 

What a good idea, this would be totally new, never done in any flight sim !

 

 

So, we have already "study" aircrafts, now this is a "study" map.

"Channel Map"

"Will include

 

  • Manston
  • Detling
  • Hawkinge
  • Lympne"

"It will support missions and campaigns between the late 1930s and 1945, we will have more details in our news letter today."

 

... and STILL no mention of Biggin Hill!

 

Give me the tools and I'll volunteer to do it myself (complete with roller-coaster runway :sorcerer: ).

 

I saw mention of it 5 or 6 weeks ago - speculation or what - but it was inconclusive. Is somebody working on it and just keeping it as a surprise? How can you have a WWII Simulation without Biggin Hill ?

 

Anyway, the latest NEWS bulletin was good news - I look forward to to getting my hands on some of the news stuff.

Thanks ED for a great ... erm ... product/experience/occupation!

Surely they'll eventually furnish DCS with Battle of Britain aircraft, otherwise... that's just cruel! :(
Hope so some day :cry: .

Can I ask, please: does the new map join into the Normandy map? If so that would be wonderful
That was my first question when this was first announced. Sadly no, but lets hope in the future if ED keep going for their gobal map goal they do indeed.

The one thing that actually bothers me on this; for a 1930(ish)-1945(ish) mission setting they're sure missing some important places like the Scheldt estuary..
