New DCS Theater Maps Wish Wish List

One guy in France was making one for FC, a couple years ago. He never finished it. Probably he is waiting for new theater SDK to come out. Similar work was being done on the Russian Far East and the Chinese border area out there.

Yes that is Batou, he's still waiting for the EDGE SDK.

Very cool screen shots, he did a lot of good work. Search for those threads if you are interested.

Any news on the EDGE engine? Did they give a release time frame?

EDIT: Found the thread, looks good!

Hmmm AFAIK no release date -- pretty much sticking with the 'when it's done' mantra, and probably rightfully so. I think Wags did mention recently that the theater itself is more or less done, just waiting on EDGE to get finished up.

Ya i remember seeing that. Fingers crossed.

Hm, as for actual reasons, I would like to see the Korean peninsula. Afghansitan also, might be a real challenge to find/hit something in the mountains/hills.

Also would be ral nice to make a fictional conflict in central europe. Something like "the russian bear restrengthen" Coldwar crisis........

just to mention! The fighting in Afghanistan was/is mostly taking place in the area about the great highway. Especially Helmand has the so called 'Green Zone' - the vegetated area near the Helmand river where most of the engagements took place.

Villages, heavy woods and desert, hills and high mountains ... :thumbup:

Northern US/Canada

How about the area around Korea both North and South with a Lil China and Japan?this way Carrier ops from the Yellow Sea or the Sea of Japan would be Cool:thumbup:

Why not expand the current map into Northern Iran and Chechnya? Lots of current conflicts that can be played there

South US & Cuba

@PLAAF ..that would be great of course.. don't think our comps are there yet with cpu power but maybe in the future we could have the whole world boxed in our comp simulation..

just read one article arguing we all could be living in a simulation, very detailed one but still simulation-our universe that is.. the thesis is, our ancestors or whoever created this simulation wanted an answer to their most important question-why are we here--- something that i think our civilization will do as soon as we get better computational power.. we are already doing many simulations today, soon (20-100 years) i can imagine a super-computer powerful enough to simulate parts of the universe as they evolve during billions of years..

scary thought though, those characters in simulation if they become "aware" like we are, can suffer yet be a prisoner to it..

Would be nice a scenario of Middle Eastern 60/70 years and a Migs 21, Mig 19, Mig17 and Mirage. They will give us an excelent stuff to recreate the six days war....too fun for a flighters, bombers and a combined arms people.

With almost same Migs + F4+ A7+ A4 +A6+F105+B52+Huey and a Vietnam/Laos scenery.....too fun with a Vietnam war.

Another amazing scenery will be a korea war...nice for a fighters...bombers and CA people

i guess the arctic circle could be amazing as well, with Canada,US,Denmark,Russia, Norway all involved in the fight for the oil after the ice melts - post 2020 e.g. scenario..

but this would be more of a naval + aerial operation not so much ground forces and tanks..

With all that's going on right now the Korean peninsula is the obvious choice.

Something really new and exciting scenario on jet sim arena would be Nordic countries (mainly Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark) vs. Russia.

So many options to build versatile scenarios there:

- Arctic (air, land, sea) warfare in Lapland and polar region,

- Massive armoured & land warfare at Fin vs. Rus border,

- Confined Baltic Rim & Sea warfare,

- Very arctic Barents Sea warfare

to name a few options.

Hmm, that was exactly the scenario of DID's EF-2000 Simulation of the 90ies. :music_whistling:

Now you're talking! I used to love that sim. Remember how smooth the graphics engine seemed to be? It was like a video playing.

ohh yes! Do you remember: the first flight sim with a real 3d Cockpit. Not 6 dof, but at the time a real immersion kick. Man, did I love the PIRATE and sneaking up on the Migs... the implementation of MFDs etc. into the 3d cockpit was awesome.

EDIT: so just for nostalgic reasons I would like the idea, though I prefer extension to Iran /Iraq of the current map or Afghanistan / Pakistan / India area for obvious reasons :thumbup:

Honestly I don't think it's ridiculous that we (the community) wish for a world map. I would not care if it was in extremely simple form, even if it was not immediately populated with airports. If ED has any hope to steal some of the FSX crowd, it's with world terrain.

No point in making a world map if there's nothing to see, will make flying to the target even more boring then it already is.

And quite frankly, i'd care less about FSX our any other community, as long as ED makes enough money to continue what they do best.

Make kick ass sims and be the best at what they do.
