Creating a new theater
-
Thanks guys for the advice… I will keep it in mind.
I will be blunt…
Creating new campaign, yes why not!
Creating a new theater from scratch… Well not advisable…
The road is very long and to be honest by the time you start showing results, the new terrain engine will be outCheers
I will keep it in mind for sure! Maybe I won’t ever get to the point of actually publishing the theater for use… but I still want to try and give back to the community… and if nothing ever comes out of it - atleast I got to learn the process for myself

It is very hard to create a theater from 0. The terrain and many other things have impact on tactics and the campaign but in fact even existing theaters and DB can be used well to minim different scenario and era.
If you have 0 knowledge in the topic it is likely just waste of time.
I bet when the BMS will have the new engine it would be far easier to create a new theater than using a very, very old system which never was designed to make attractive and usable for 3rd party creators.As we can know in the future some SAMs will be able to shoot down ARM/ASMs. Considering this, the F/A-18 Hornet on current level + Kuz maybe one of the best theater would be a Scandinavian. Where ships can act and literally any NATO +RUS plane can be used in any era.

Guys guys… come on… get real… you were born virtual pilots, or Falcon moders, or creators - contributors to the Falcon Community… Is your time devoted to this a waste?
IKAROS initial release and most probably other theaters, but this I know for sure, was 95% the work of one man only who knew absolutely nothing on theater making. Sure he was helped and advised but he fought the monster alone.
So please…
Yes it’s hard, yes it needs devotion, stamina, and persistence but it’s the essence of our community and we are not allowed to clip new wanna be contributors wings.
So DumbPilot BlackWolf on his first post in this thread gave you the initial kickstart link.
A theater is a huge project and we have seen many many unfinished where we have just a terrain to fly to.
I believe there are a few on the works and I don’t know their human resources and maybe you could consider as an option participating in a started theater.
So start a WIP thread and start asking questions as you go along. Don’t wait a road of rose petals, search for the info and tools and the solutions to your questions and when stack just ask publicly and I’m sure many many guys will pop’up to assist you with valuable info and guides.
So which areas are you thinking of?

Is the “new terrain engine” out yet ?

No and it’ll still take sometime, so don’t expect for it to come “too soon”.

Good to learn this also in advance, I guess.
Thanks a lot, dear I-Hawk.
With best regards.
