Wonder if they're going to add in Edwards and China Lake down the line.

Looks like China Lake will definitely be in, Fallon could be, it's tough to tell on that map.

Lake Havasu? If we fly really low with the TGP during spring break...

At last we'll get to bomb downtown LA.

Just like the OH-58 getting footage of a couple knocking boots in the car.

If Los Angeles is on this map, I'd hit it with the RN-28. Repeatedly. While laughing maniacally.

To be clear, the actual borders are a bit of a guess right now, right?

From the topography in the map from ED, it looks like LA isn't included. That's fine by me though, it would have been odd to have half of LA just outside the border of the map. It wouldn't make sense to model, because you couldn't really have operations so close to edge of the map.

That makes sense to me. It looks like some of the Grand Canyon is included, which is great. Flying through it would be fun. Last game I did that in was Jane's USAF, although DCS aircraft are much more fun to fly. I would rather have the canyon fully realized than only having a quarter of LA to.

This would be great. A fully rendered and accurately modeled Grand Canyon would be amazing, especially since only a few people (helicopter pilots ferrying supplies to the tribes in the canyon) get to actually fly within the canyon itself.

Besides, when the F/A-18 comes out someone could make a mission of the dogfight from Independence Day (though we would need some serious tanking support to get there from El Toro). biggrin

There are tours, too. Those same tribes have full jurisdiction over their lands, and tour operators are allowed to fly paying passengers to designated areas in the canyon that belong to those tribes.

I have the video I made 10 years ago on my old camera, I need to get it on DVD. I taped the flight in from the airport next to the MGM, over the Hoover Dam, all the way to the landing site, then taped several other helos that landed or flew by to other sites, had lunch, then flew back ending with a fly by of the Strip.

Don't have to worry about that any more. El Toro is now nothing but overpriced shopping centers and housing developments full of McMansions.
