boedha68 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Now we have speedtree coming to DCS 2.5. I think vietnam would be the bomb for a dreamenvirement never been seen on a PC before, cause the tools who ED have now, too create this magnificent area. It would be an evolvement to the next step! in my opinion. I know much, much work, but the efforts will spectacular after hard work! Maybe make assets to make mapmaking easier! But dropping "Little boy" at the end of a WW2 campaign, would be a fantasy. :D Well a dream is a dream....:D Edited January 29, 2018 by boedha68 New system:I9-9900KS, Kingston 128 GB DDR4 3200Mhz, MSI RTX 4090, Corsair H150 Pro RGB, 2xSamsung 970 EVO 2Tb, 2xsamsung 970 EVO 1 TB, Scandisk m2 500 MB, 2 x Crucial 1 Tb, T16000M HOTAS, HP Reverb Professional 2, Corsair 750 Watt.

aileron Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We all want it... and this comes up all the time, but the map would have to be huge because a huge contingent of the runs were made from Thailand. Something like at least this big. I fear someone building it with just a small portion of the map done. That would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk MiG-21, upcoming MiG-19, upcoming F-4, community A-4 and A-1, farther out A-6, and maybe someone could make the F-105. That would be a lot of fun, but we'd be looking at a 5 year plus timetable for a decent, all encompassing Vietnam War scenario. As for the map, Caucasus is around 400x200 nautical miles (740x370 kilometers), and Nevada is around 250x200 nautical miles (460x370 kilometers). To fully encompass the air war over Vietnam, the map would need to be 500x500 nautical miles, and would really only cover the northern part of South Vietnam, all of North Vietnam, and enough of Thailand as to cover the airfields used. I think. I'm really going by memory as to airfield locations. This puts it into the "largest map yet made" territory, and by over double. I know ED isn't going to release mapping tools to the public, but I know there are a lot of great mappers out there who would be happy to contribute to a Vietnam map. Crowsourcing then? Vietnam would be a ton of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoodooVinny Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Mr. Bad Idea Hat, don't forget the OV-1 Mohawk, OV-10 Bronco, F-8 Crusader, A-7 Corsair II, F-111 Aardvark, and the T-37 Tweet. All of them saw action too and would be fun to play with. Starway already had the Green Thunder terrain for 1.5 which gives a good idea of what could be done with the textures...

WHOGX5 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Am I the only one craving a RA-5C so I can do reconnaissance runs in downtown Vietnam? Basically, it was a cold war nuclear strike bomber turned reconnaissance aircraft which was the intelligence workhorse of the vietnam war. The main capabilities of the RA-5C are: Top speed over Mach 2 Conventional and nuclear strike capability Multi-mode ground radar for bombing Side-facing radars for reconnaissance Front, downward, and side-facing cameras Passive ELINT recording equipment capable of pinpointing enemy radar locations and pulse types Able to buddy refuel other aircraft using drouge and hose Terrain following radar for low altitude missions Radar assisted inertial navigation system Extremely innovative state-of-the-art equipment for its time Carrier takeoffs and landings We’d get our first bomber, tanker, and reconnaissance aircraft in one package!

An MP mission designer could limit some/all of those by limiting weapons on their mission. Yeah, avionics would be out of place a bit, but I don't think anyone's going to complain a ton about that. If we really want to be more realistic, the American side gets crappy AWACS, and the North gets a great EWR/GCI system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlerus Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) A post I did about this nearly a year ago I found a great map repository for it.=) These maps are great though it will take a helluva lot of time to make a DCS map out of them, if some of the digitization process can't be automated. Also, WHOGX5: I dream of an RA-5C too ;) The only CON I can think of is that it was only in service for 17 years. (1963 - 1980) - which is a bit short. But hey! I don't care. It looks amazing, and it was probably taken out of service because of costs, and we don't care about that in DCS ;) //Jarl Edited February 10, 2018 by Jarlerus Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyspin Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Nothing posted for awhile but is there any thoughts or possible plans for a Vietnam war map? Thinking North and South Vietnam and parts of Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. I know it would be a huge undertaking due to it's size but what an addition that would be! Many of that era aircraft are available or in the works so that fit is possible too.

Mars Exulte Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) I don't think anyone's going to complain a ton about that. You must be new here. My favorite past ''concern'' threads were about planes getting stuck in the grass and the shading of the F-16s nosecone. People will literally complain about anything and everything ) Btw, I don't think the map would be THAT terribly large. The extremes of n/s and the western half of Thailand could even be in the low detail section. Main parts would all fit in the Caucasus map, I think... well, the extreme n/s parts wouldn't Edited September 20, 2019 by zhukov032186 Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilon_x Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 No DCS is not yet ready to release the map of Vietnam. N1 we are in the 60s. missing a long list of helicopter and naval and transport aircraft to build the war in Vietnam. give me a list of missing planes for the Vietnam war.

The_Pharoah Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I've posted multiple times about this as a wish and was just thinking about it over the weekend. All i want at this stage is the map preferably with the 1960s ear Vietnam war mil bases (Khe Sanh, Danang, etc) plus all the firebases (or major ones anyway). Then we can start using the Huey like they did in early Vietnam (prior to introduction of the Cobra). That would be awesome.
