Always get a chuckle on the OZKANSAS map when flying over the northern part of Australia. :headscratch: Seems to be a lot greener than I remember. :lol

ok since this looking like a good idea how would i bring this up to hitech or do i just make a map and send it to him

Not sure I would guess the terrain editor maybe would be the place to start?

I'd like that too, unfortunately HT only allows 2 types of terrain types (the objects on the ground trees,barns,bushes) the european and pacific set. :frown:

WHAT why thats ridiculous WW2 didnt all happen in asia and europe there were fights in africa and in ausrtalia thats why its called WORLD WAR because most of the contenients were in it. why would he only allow europe and pacific and besides not all maps are european and pacific.

:cry
The war in Africa wasn't that long or drawn out, a few months, maybe. Besides, is a desert terrain even needed? No, The Aussie deserts weren't the battleground anyway. Just because Australia was in the war doesn't mean the battles were fought in the middle of the desert. Most action took place in the Pacific.
P.S. watch the Pacific, it will give you an understanding of why Australia was so important to both sides. Just watch it. You will understand why the war was mostly in the Pacific Isles. (Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Peleliu, etc).All islands in the Pacific ocean, not in the desert.

If I told you that the entire Pacific series was filmed in Australia would you believe me? In fact a lot of it was done in some of the same locations as the first Mad Max film.

Dear god! Punctuation!
We're just starting to get Stealth to use it sparsely, and now you come to reinforce this terrible habit.
Ranger has this all worked out...that terrain should be debuting in the AvA soon...hopefully it will make its way into the Blue rotation...

How about just different fronts for each kind of fight on the maps? Partial desert that flows into a tropical type of environment, that then flows into a northern woods type thing, that then flows into snow/tundra type environments? Would be pretty cool to have to change your plane skins/types to effectively fight in different areas of the map. :rock

considering climate currently has no effect on your plane right now, changeing model would have no effect.
As for skin, I think that big neon red sign is giving you away, not your brown skin.

I don't GV much, but I assume it would be good for the GVs.
Also if your trying to sneak a goon in low the skin also helps.

I miss AKdesert map :cry

Yes I would but I don't remember any of the Pacific containing battles with the Japanese in the middle of some God forsaken Aussie desert. :aok

Just wondering what battles were over the Australian desert? In fact, I'm not
sure much combat was seen over Australia at all. I'm sure our Aussie pals can enlighten me if I am
mistaken of course :) I had to google Port Moresby to find out it is in New Guinea <blush>

Rino, there were Japanese air attacks on Darwin.

I believe that for the M/A a desert map would be fun but there's a problem i believe aces high wont wear it because the desert campain was for around 1 year fought between Britain ,Germany , And Italy. thus America was never involved with the desert campain for the final 2and a half months. and that was just mainly the ground forces. So i think they wouldn't do it due to the fact that there was no American or Russian or Japanese involvement during the desert war in Africa. only after Sicily was taken was the US airforce in Africa to strike at Italy. And i believe that Hitech creations are only focusing on the biggest campains for maps.
But great idea go and creat the map and submit it to Ace's High II they may say Yes Or They May Say NO.
You never know you may be able to hold African Desert Campains in the Special Arena One day. :aok :rock :salute :cheers: :airplane:

MA terrains have nothing to do with the real war. There are no historical terrains in the MA, they are designed around 3 sided gameplay and purely fictional.
And i believe that Hitech creations are only focusing on the biggest campains for maps.
Could you please name one MA terrain based on an historical campaign?
:)

My dad was at Darwin for jungle training when it was bombed he took photos at the time. I have not seen them in more than 21 years though.

Ah, you might want to check out this book at you local library:
An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkinson. ISBN 0-8050-7448-1
In addition, a well done desert tile set could be use for most of the mediterrainian countries.

I miss AKdesert map :cry
Is that the map that was call PIZZA map in the good old days :old:
-
phew thats a long sentence!
but +1 for the idea

I miss AKdesert map :cry
Me too ... Fighting in those 10,000 ft canyons was the bomb ... the CV/Airfield battles were epic ... along with the GV battles on the perimeter.
Is that the map that was call PIZZA map in the good old days :old:
Yup ... fondly known as "The Pizza Map".

they may be fictional but i cant see HTC having a Desert map for the M/A as it only involved 3 countrys to start with it was just the Brits and the Italians. Cos as you may notice all of HTC 's Main arena maps use all aircraft from all side's Europe and the Pacific.

This is incorrect. The United States' involvement in North Africa exends well before the invasion of Sicily. The US began the North African campaign in 1942, starting with Morocco and working their way East. They had to push back German forces and capture Tunisia in order to launch a successful invasion on Sicily. So the US, in fact, saw combat in the desert.
And what does the US, Japanese, and Russian involvement with desert terrain have to do with the map selection in the MAs? I see no point in making an argument against adding a desert terrain to the MAs. If anything, I think it would spark some added interest in the MAs due to the variety. Desert plane and GV skins would have more use and value IMO.
-
There are some splendid desert maps used in the North African scenarios. Someone please explain the process in which those same desert textures can be picked up and moved onto any of the current maps we play on in the MA's. The same goes for the winter textures in the European maps for those winter scenarios. Those maps are amazing. Why is that kind of eye candy and talent reserved for the scenarios when the bulk of the trigger pullin' is done in the MA's?
Playing on maps that have fewer trees, different colors than the green summers of Europe and South Pacific, and long lanes of fire for the gv's has a huge appeal to it. I'm sure I can speak for a great many on that subject. :D

Dux made those wonderful desert textures for the CM terrain team. Unfortunately, they are no longer usable because of the scale, it changed with the new terrain engine (a bush is the size of bomber hanger lol). Same for the old winter textures.
There is nothing to prevent a player from building and submitting a terrain for the MA with desert tiles, and there's nothing preventing another player from creating a complete set of desert textures, and donating them to the community. Nothing except for the inordinate amount of time it takes to create over 60 textures, but you will gain a much greater appreciation for htc if you undertake such a project.

Hmm... I 'spose there is no better time to learn how to texture than now. I have not taken a computer class for "coading" purposes since 1996, and that was all DOS. Thing is, just how open is HTC to receiving new textures for existing maps? Is it even an option? To me, that would be the easiest way to diversify the kinds of maps we play on vs designing entire new maps.

Sorry his word's i think at least i dont realy know whitch General said it or if any did :lol

Those are not questions that I can answer.
