Afghanistan map is quite possible (DCS already has a lot of relevant units for this setting). Vietnam map - rather no than yes. Cuba - no. Overall, ED doesn't have any definite plans regarding future maps. 1 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!

Count von Altibar Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Such a shame they're lukewarm on Vietnam, I think I saw a poll on here showing a significant desire for this region maybe even had the most votes. So many of the DCS player base will have watched the films & listened to the music from the war that connection alone would likely encourage them to purchase the map. I personally reckon this map would be a winner maybe Ugra media or some other 3rd party will deliver I really hope so. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 There USED to be some talk of Afghanistan map, before the first talk of the Syria map. Haven't heard anything for some time about that. Might be quite good for Soviet a/c campaigns, not only for the HIND but also Froggies Hips and Fishies!! (-24, -25, -8, -21) Been no talk of Korea or Vietnam... but I think it would be well received as an alternative to sand deserts that we now have 3 maps of (NTTC, PG, Syria), lots of trees and such. The HIND, Longbow and Kiowa suggest the possible future need for either central Europe (mby Germany?) or the Korean border region. Basically, trees and hills to hide and shoot and scoot around. Valley roads for armor to advance along, until some ATGM's bring them some chaos. I don't think we should get too wrapped up in map-size limitations... any map considered now, is a long ways from being offered on the store, and by then, our own hardware will be much more capable than today. Now, yes, double the map dimentions and you are making a LOT more data for the hamsterwheel to crunch through, but the map makers will still have options to adjust things for frame rates. Also, new methods of creating items for maps might make these size increases less a problem. It's probably a much harder issue to simply have new map makers even start making a good solid map for DCS in the first place, and follow through to a soiid product for sale and virtual flying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangs Out Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 IIRC F-4s and PFs fought over vietnam. Side note, the PF main differences from the Bis is the "hump back" past the canopy and the radar (RP-21) compared to the RP-23. Also performance wise. Etc and etc. But +1 for vietnam, I want to recreate the skoshi tigers with an F-5E campaign there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremspropeller Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) A SEA Module (with eight airplanes) would sell like hotcakes. Maybe two airplanes for the NVAF (a mid-age MiG-21* and a MiG-17PF) and 6 for the US (two Phantoms**, an F-105, a Scooter, an F-100 and an A-1). One could sell the Map and the Assets (NVAF and US) separately, as asset-bundles (NVAF pack and US SEA-Pack) and as a complete bundle. ____ * like a PFM ** Maybe a late B and a mid-to-late D to cover a wide range of capabilities with a minimal number of airframes Edited February 14, 2021 by Bremspropeller 4 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!

Evoman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I just saw this great DCS movie that depicts really well the feel a Vietnam map would have if it were to exist. A Vietnam map would be my most favorite scenario to play in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappy3122 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 +1 i would buy the map and every plane release for Vietnam as soon as they went in sale. The century series of fighters would be so fun to fly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries144 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'd love to have a Vietnam map. I would love to see the F-4, a mid or early Mig-21, and a Mig-17 to go with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upyr1 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 We need a Vietnam map and Vietnam era assets. I've said this in other places I don't want any more asset packs like the WW II asst pack. Here are some options include asset development with the cost of the map and other modules land and ship modules- at the bare minimum I'm asking for something I can drive or sail with working VR and a good command interface. An improved combined arms or fleet ops. though FF modules would be nice. Either way, the AI assets will be free but you pay to play as the land and sea assets. a mixture of both would be idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count, since your profile icon is the Vietnamese flag would I be wrong in guessing you might live there? I'm not sure how big the map should be. The dream would be to cover Thailand to the gulf of Tonkin and part of Southern China. I also want to have at least two time periods. Clearly the 1960s would be mandatory I would also like a modern version of the map as well. I figure a China vs Vietnam show down with the US taking Vietnam's side would be good scenario. There is no way I expect to see a map that big though. IMHO it would be idotic to have North(ern) Vietnam and the F-4E and not have Thailand. I could dig Yankee station if we have an F-4J. Dixie station would be fine with any variant of the F-4 except the G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it'll result in a full blown high intensity war, but it's definately a fairly new flashpoint that could result in several smaller skirmishes, but also COULD blow up into major conflict too. Especially since Vietnam would probably suddenly gain many brand new friends to play with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
