Woogey Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hey Guys, A while back (when NTTR was still in beta) Wags had made a comment about bringing a feature to the sim of individual Airport Addons. Has this idea gone by the wayside? It was a great idea, and would be a much welcome addition to add missing bases such as NAS Fallon, NAWC China Lake, and the famous Edwards AFB, but also to be able to bring additional detail and accuracy to the Myriad of Civilian airports in each of the maps. Really seems like a missed opportunity on the part of ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I don't think adding just an airport in the low-detail area is any useful. Even less so in the flat over-the-map-border area. That would look bad imho. But I get it could be used for some missions to route AI to/from such AFB.

71st_AH Rob Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It would be a fantastic feature, along with the grass strip airfields that were supposed to be added by the mission designer in the ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted January 23, 2020 ED Team Share Posted January 23, 2020 NTTR is pretty much hit the limit on expansion, and I am not sure how the community would react to selling individual airfields at this point. So we really have no plans to do anything like that right now.

G.J.S Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Even for low detail areas of our maps, I for one would purchase airfield add ons that are detail wise, on par with the main ones in the maps main area, as already mentioned regards Nevada, the ability to launch from China Lake, high level transit into NTTR, and land at Nellis would be great, and select other airfields could also be done, as long as they are not too far out (like launching from Lemoore or Miramar for example).

flanker1 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) what we finally need is an airfield extension/assets/realistic ground lay out and environment pack or call it what you want - but especially for caucasus. the airfields over there are very "arcade" and have not very much to do with the reality (all of them are former soviet airforce bases) - except of the added 4 "new" which were no relicts from former lock on times. .

Steve Gee Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I would like to see them for making AI bases in the hinterlands/edges of maps to expand possible scenarios on all maps, with a collection of airfield assets to use for regular fields as well, for both modern and WWII scenes.

Seaside Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I would like to see this or current maps filled out to the edges more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really seems like a missed opportunity on the part of ED. I like adding Fallon and China Lake to Nevada Map. But how about extending the detailed area of the Nevada Map southward over the deserts to MCAS Yuma and then straight west over San Diego to include about a 1976-1990 version of NAS Miramar -- "Fightertown USA", Top Gun? And then extend the map over the Pacific Ocean out about 250 NM, to include San Nicolas, San Clemente and Santa Catalina Islands. This would make a good long stretch of Map to fly long missions in requiring inflight refueling...from 200 NM off shore San Diego to NAS Fallon in northern Nevada. That should be some 700 NM. Don't include high details north of about 30 NM north of Miramar, to save drive space. So just a rough satellite image of the Los Angeles basin, not really meant to be flown over at low altitudes. Make NAS Miramar a very detailed air base with animated ground vehicles and personnel, so that we can operate F-14's, A-4's, F-5E's and F-18's just like they belonged there. Visiting F-15's, F-16's, A-10's and AV-8B's would fit right in, too. And future F-4 Phantoms and F-8 Crusaders, as well as A-7 Corsair II's and A-6 Intruders would be right at home there, as well. And tie-up a couple moderately-detailed supercarriers to North Island, in San Diego Bay, containing NAS North Island. Can somewhat minimize the details of San Diego suburban areas to save on drive space. The details would be concentrated around NAS Miramar, NAS North Island, and Lindbergh Field. This would all go great with Supercarrier. And, of course, Nellis AFB is right in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufasa Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Static addons I'd like to see more static addons for the airfields we already have. For example aircraft that are being repaired, new airport vehicles, maintenance workers for the airfield, an actual tower to add as a live aircraft where you can program radio freq. yourself, better ATC, light fixtures you can place around the field that work at night time, security trucks for the airfield. Just saying in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
