Long timers will remember the old akdesert terrain aka the old pizza map. I know that all the files for it are lost forever, BUT, not too long ago, someone posted a screenshot of the clipboard map for it. I spent two hours last night going through thread after thread after I searched akdesert and pizza map. None of them had that screenshot. If I can get my hands on it, I will remake it for the community with a few changes. It was a 512x512 map. I will make it a 256x256 mile map. I also won't make all the canyon walls 5k to 10k tall. My idea is to make the outer ring at sea level, and increase each inner ring by a couple thousand ft., ending up with the center piece, which will be the tallest and contain the "tank town" area. This central spot would be at about 10k. Now I know people that didn't play AH1 probably have no idea what I'm talking about, so that pic of the clipboard map would help them also, by seeing what I'm talking about. And yes, it would stay a desert map. Those that have flown in the AvA have seen my desert textures and know the quality.
I just need to get my hands on that dang screenshot!
Would you like an MA terrain that looks like this?
