Mapping Question

[bobbysocks]

when i am on i am usually online. so i do not have the knowledge that you guys do about the overall game. SO, my question is which maps are the same? by that i mean....the single mission, campaign, online ( dogfight-strike-cta-tb)? what i am digging at is...if i wanted to create a "mission" or etc....what could i recon by myself OFFLINE that could be used ONLINE. OR do i need to just get into a game and fly off by myself and sight see. i have an idea for something i think would be fun but want to get all the maps worked out first. i would like 4 to 5 maps i could buzz around at my leisure to scope routes out....how can i do that?? leave me your suggestions. i will be away for awhile so i probably will not answer you for a week or 2.
