Heres a thought, why not have a map competition. Let AH staff select the top ten maps submitted by members. We fly these over the next two weeks (in one arena).
It would be voted on by the members and the map would named using the winning designers call sign. The top three map makers get a free year's subscription. Thats a pretty cheap price for three new maps. If members can submit plane skins then why not maps?
I have never designed a map before but I would certainly take interest in something like this. Theres a lot of guys out their HT that would really enjoy this. Whats the harm?
