New Multiplayer Maps

None taken.

Smaller parts of the big BoB map would be great. Not so far north, not so far south, not so far east and not so far west.

fantasy maps are not so cool imho.

IMHO considering all the maps close to the sea, I'd like something with contrast: Mountains and valleys. Something like a remake of Online4Summer.

For old times sake, why not just import the Kuban map from IL2?

Still one of the best maps in the sim, it has stood the test of time well, and offers a wide variety of scenario building options.

+1 to that too!

On my earlier post I meant Online3Summer also...that and Kuban were pretty much the only ones i always relied on in FMB

Well I have to agree with CS_Thor and Frankyboy, if so much effort was put into accurate aircraft and buildings, to go then for arcade maps, just degrades the game.
I like Frankyboys suggestion very much, otherwise I would be very much for the Channel Islands Guernsey, Jersey and Sark which are rather close together, but these then at 1:1
By the way Guernsey airport was the only British airport to be occupied by German troops.
This would be in step with historical accuracy and short distances for the impatient types, so that pretty well all sides should be happy?

tell me about it, the JG53 flew from there before it was sent to Pas de Calais ...

100 X 100km map size? Really?

Assuming the front is in the middle of the map and the airfield is right on the edge of the map (which I doubt it would be) a plane going 400kph would transit 50km in 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

I would think 150km or 200km minimum would be a better size. It would allow use by the closer action DF servers if that is all they want to use but be flexible enough for larger sorties with bombers.

I would only go with 1:1 scale, but that's just me. The more detail you have the time and resources to put in the better.

Since any portion of the historical map can be used I would vote for France/Belgium 1940 or Malta maybe?

Good luck,

Cutting the original map into smaller pieces sounds like a good idea.
Some parts with France and England (like the maps Franky showed us) and maybe a "only England" and "only France" map for fictional invasions with land battles.

I'd just like to point out that the calculations at 400kph don't seem to be talking into account actually taking off and climbing, which will add a couple minutes. Again, the big map is already there, this one's supposed to be a semi-realistic, get to the dogfight somewhat quickly type of map.
