Did you ever play Air Warrior?

If you stayed in one arena, you had years and years and years on the same map.  Aces High seems pretty amazing by comparison :aok

Further, when the new version comes out, and we get a new TE, by all means make a map for us all to share.

I heard we were waiting on you to release your next terrain.




Seriously, I think the terrain making took a hard hit when H2H was canned. It was a great place to test terrains among actual users.

There's always one in the crowd...  :cry

When you get to the point where you have to make a post like this in a forum...it's time to turn your computer off and go outside (preferably with clothes on).

There is only 1 map that I would love to see hit the bit bucket.

What I wouldn't give to see AK Pizza back in rotation (with the new terrain ... easier on the eyes).

Given it was totally unreal with those 10,000 ft canyons, but the fights it produced were some of the best ... you had to claw your way out ... no where to run.

The CV action on that map was non-stop.

The outer GV ring was the best GV action that any map has ever tried to produce.

i think that one's still used in mw......i was fighting in one of the canyons last week.

 it's the only one i generally don't like for air fights, as it seems to encourage guys to climb all the way to 20k+............there's still other fun to be made though.

Yep, it's just you. Everyone else is too busy playing the game to be bothered by the scenery.

I believe all the terrains are downloadable from the terrains page.

The one in MW is called SMPIZZA ... the map I was referring to was officially called ... AKDesert ... which, when looking at it completely zoomed out, it looked like a Pizza with 3 huge slices. The desert colors helped it look even more like pizza. The canyons that you see in SMPIZZA pale in comparison to the ones on AKDesert ... the canyons were 8,000 to 10,000 ft deep.

I wish I had a screenshot of it to show you.

Found one ...

Here ya go

The maps that hang around the longest are those that are the most difficult to reset.  The more bases, the larger the area, the greater the distance between fields – all these cause a map to linger.  Certain maps are just naturally longer lived and destined to be "same old maps."

Another issue is that “goodness” is subjective.  Who is to say what makes a good map?

I think the only other one that you have never seen is the infamous ... Mindano Map

(http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/2929/mindvg6.jpg)

... it is really a mapping of the is the second largest and easternmost island in the Philippines.

i would love to make maps but no-one to show me how or get me started in the right direction

I didn't get to fly it for too long, but I always enjoyed Mindano.

I wish there were more real world maps in the MA.  I think that the unique geographic/strategic possibilities and challenges would be more than enough compensation for perhaps starting in a less than equitable position.  I also realize that, unfortunately, that wouldn't fly for many people.

That would be SOUTHERNmost. Mindanao would make for a much nicer map if it was in large map format.

I love that pizza looking map it seems to have a lot of potential.
