Having the big maps in one LW and small in another would be fine with me.  All the toolsheddies could hang in one playing grabass while the other arena would be available to those with limited time looking for a fight.  Of course the big map arena would still be open to a little party crashing by the furballers.

Bottomline if you went and looked at the maps in other sims you would realize just how bad these are. Don't get me wrong THIS is the best Sim of the three I've flown by a longshot----but the maps are second rate. I don't want to make one---can I copy one from another game??

I just lurv the Himalayas map, with its mountains as high as Everest and with greenery well above the normal treeline; truly amazing, makes me appreciate the efforts of the 'tween-wars RAF biplanes in NW India even more.

Which reminds me, it's the 75th anniversary of the first flight over the mighty mountain, when a Westland Wallace built not many miles from where I'm writing this did it twice. The camera froze solid on the first trip.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE MAPS BY NAMES...BUT the only ones i don't really like, are the ones that havbe all of the bases in valleys, and the terrain is around 7k or so. the one i like the best is the one with a bunch of islands, and the middle island has tanktown on it.

My only problem with Lake Uterus is the thing is like a Vampire and you have to drive a stake thru it for someone to actually win it. I remember that one time it was up for weeks and the Battle for A9 was fought in shifts and was more like trench warfare then ariel combat.

I know no one asked for my opinion but here it is:

1.  All small maps in one arena and all big maps in the other (LWA's).
2.  No caps (or permanent caps at ~450 in each arena).
3.  Rotate ALL the small maps (including Mindi) in the small map arena.
4.  Rotate ALL the big maps (bring back Trinity, Donut, Pizza and the rest of the "lost" maps) in the other arena.
5.  Bring back weekly re-sets if there hasn't been a player re-set.

Now is that so hard?
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Why not take existing maps such as the AVA & FSO they are already made so what would be the problem with incorporating them into a new hybrid type map :salute

By Einstein's definition, then you are an idiot.
Surprising that a mental case like yourself can spell Einstein, given that, Prof. Einstein was a a Nobel Laureate in PHYSICS... Perhaps Dr. Freud, Dr. Jung or a qualified mental heath professional could address your obvious personality disorders, but I fear that this wish is far from probable.

BTW YKnurd I have not forgotten your post in response to my Mother's untimely passing... I am surprised that you are not banned from this forum.
