If you could have any place made as a new theater in BMS. Where would you choose?
-
Central Europe 1980s
Taiwan 1980s
Indian-Pakistan
EMF 1980s
Area 51 1980s
-
-
historical Iran/Iraq war
-
-
R-2508 complex in eastern California.
I would be happy to wait, though, until a time when BMS might have a new way of displaying terrain.
A training area like this would, in my opinion, work best if the sim were able to handle higher-resolution digital elevation models, with higher-resolution airphotos or satellite images draped on them.
My reason, which is silly, is that I want go ripping through canyons that I have come to know on foot and by Jeep. I want to fly under that old miner’s cableway in Pleasant Canyon, roll inverted over Rogers Pass, circle Striped Butte, and then haul the mail down Redlands Canyon, with the walls towering a vertical mile above me
Maybe that’ll be possible someday, maybe not, BMS is a great sim either way. There is so much to love about it. But if we could create more realistic terrain, and if I had more (any :roll: ) free time for BMS , I would want to learn how to contribute to building terrain for an R-2508 theater. I hate being so busy, but in my happiest dreams, I’m helping “author” the terrain for a high-res R-2508 (and maybe NTTR as well).
Thankful for what is available to me in BMS!

Chuckles, does this version have carrier capable F4’s or do you still need to modify the DB? Now we just need someone to turn the Antonov AN-2 into a L-19/O-1 Bird Dog or O-2 Skymaster… or a Douglas A-1 Skyraider…

Yes, the F-4, A-6 and other aircraft are carrier capable just like the F/A-18. Yes, we do need the slow movers for our DB. Hopefully, the DB can evolve further for their use. The Prop planes in the 4.33 version were kind of using a hack in their FMs.

Some good ideas here. I like the area 51 idea too. That’d be cool, but couldn’t someone just make another campaign for Nevada Theater and add Area 51?
Also on an unrelated note. It’d be cool if their was a theater in the US and one of the campaigns be another country invading. -
Europe late 70-ties and early 80-ties. This is when I was a teenager and lived among so many military airfields. Jets wizzing over all day long. Early 80-ties was when I joined the Air Force. Such a big and varied concentration of military jets over here.
In those days the threat was real.

Tibet, for the view, Alps as a poor man substitute.

an alternate reality Antarctica 1990 wherein the Reich remnant attacks southern Chile and Argentina as nato is over engaged in desert storm. allows much creative license in enemy combatant units and air forces, modding in wunder waffen, fictional combatants, like a 5+g LO stealth air dominance fighter developed by the Luftwaffe in secret.

Build the F-86 Sabre and Mig-15, 1950 Korea Map!!

Greenland / Iceland / GB… anybody remember the old “harpoon” series, esp. the “GIUK gap” theater? That was great fun and it would probably be in BMS as well if you could fly those intercept missions for real, go sub-hunting, doing some ASW work and what have you. The size probbly exceeds the 128 segment limit by a good margin though
All the best,

Yep, GIUK gap was awesome. It’s pretty large area, i’m not sure if new terrain engine would handle theater as large as this one, also it would mean lots of work on the sim core side
Starting with making sim understand water is not a terrain with different texture, implemented naval warfare, ASW operations, probable new sensor types etc …
Also it would beg for proper Tornado/EF2000/Hornet/SuperHornet/Grippen
