What battlefield do you want in seven-g?

Please vote!

I voted for Korea:

Real tensions are high and have been so for decades. Relatively short ranges. Surrounded by Carrier type oceans. Lot of need for offensive ops and constant fleet defence...

Asp

Maybe a slightly modified Libya with a credible air threat?

Yo,
I voted other because fight and war would be cool in insolite location like north pole, Arizona (GRAND CANYON), next to Himalaya etc... Iknow you'll say "no it's a simulation" patati patata! YES it's a simulation but tomorow there won't be a war in Korea and in Libya there just ground attack with dead civils and some very old enemy's aircrafts (oh yes that's funny ) and that with flat scenario ,yet! The fact which makes a game or a simulation a good or great game or simulation is its scenario. Do you understand??
And thanks to have answered to my post "un passatiempo", it's awesome to do it for nothing!No seriously if you don't want that I explain my opinion "*uck off" I wanted to improve this simulation and share my passion.
tchussss!!

Ultimately, any where could be the theatre, although you seem to be hinting that some geographic variation is desired. The idea here is to put you inside a very realistic simulation of the F/A-18 and then have you fly a diverse set of missions against realistic threats. It doesn't really matter where it takes place, just how well it is all put together. By selecting a known theatre it is easier for the player to relate and be immersed. As well, a known theatre has known threats and allied forces, which can make it easier to model and plan a realistic campaign. If Libya is selected, there would be some divergence from the ground truth to introduce a higher air threat. Regardless, the experience should rewarding to the player, and this is just the starting point.

I'll be happy with ANYthing. I'll be too in love with my Hornet to really care about where I'm fighting/attacking.

But seriously my vote goes first to Afghanistan, then to Korea. Afghanistan simply because it's the last major conflict, going on for 10+ years. Also that's where my brother is currently deployed.

However I don't see many "fun" sorties available in such a theater. Most aircraft you see over Afghanistan don't even bother carrying ECM these days. It's primarily CAS on infantry and very light armor, so it wouldn't show off some of the great air to air maneuvering the Bug is capable of. Unless of course a destabilization campaign were to be created.

Also, I think terrain development would be a breeze. Only slight vegetation and towns to work with.

P.S...does this mean the Hornet itself is done? 80% completion and now we're only talking about theaters.

(If you want to release a demo I TOTALLY wouldn't complain.)

Getting there...

One more vote for Korea.
I think the equipment you will be fighting against isn't a problem. The story could be simple: tension grows, border accidents occur more and more often and eventually lead to a full scale war. After that coalition forces discover, that NK has a lot of hidden hi-tech arsenal and the fight is more or less equal.
Or you can make the game exist in some alternate 90s/late 80s and then even the odds.
IMHO the actual story is irrelevant if you'll have good, interesting missions.

No blue land vs. orange land? Where's the authenticity

Gulf War and Iraq 2003 were big ones for the Hornet, I'd put my hand up for those. It would also be cool to see standalone missions alongside campaigns, like go intercept this aircraft that's in our airspace, fly position X in a Hornet formation display and so on. Some of the other "day to day" stuff.

Shocked and disappointed to see the number of votes for Korea. Who cares about Korea... that's over and done by Falcon 4.0. Why beat a dead horse?

Why not? It's actually hard to find a good region with high tension with the possibility of creating convincing scenario with both equal sides. It just won't be fun to fly 100th mission to fly straight for 20' just to drop one (guided from ground unit) LGB at the enemy bunker you won't even see. That's how current conflicts look like (in general).

Unless you want to find some remote archipelago and create a large but concentrated conflict about it. For example, the country that ruled there had some huge problems, the government decides to turn over to one of the superpowers (in return of help of some kind), but the people are furious, they rebel and turn to other superpower for help. It's not a good scenario but might work if you'll make some improvements.

Maybe true, but for any of us of the hardcore flight simming crowd who spent a lot of time in falcon (and believe me that's a large part of the potential market for Seven-G,) the Korean peninsula is old hat and pretty tiresome... and if Seven-G doesn't have an amazing campaign mode to go with it like Falcon did, that'll be rough sailing.

That said, I'll personally be happy with anywhere, especially some portion of US terrain.

Admin, which war do you want to do? And what is a misson in Korea for you (aircraft, target, difficulty, excitation)?

I want all, maybe others regions beside vote listed countries will be added like FSX scenery addon.
Currently, I'm working Nevada terrain for training missions ,it took about 650 Mega bytes of hard disk only by terrain texture.

you've just half answer.

An Operation Allied Force scenario like in Falcon 4: Allied Force would be cool in my opinion. But since that's been done recently in that sim I would like to see an Iraq/Desert Storm scenario or a Libya scenario with the Libyans having beefed up armed forces so that it wouldn't be a complete cake walk. Korea is also a fine choice. Maybe a fictional NATO vs. Russia, China & North Korea? That would probably turn out to be WW3 heh.

Korea has it all.

Terrain, densely populated, lots of infrastructure.
Low transit times from both land and sea.
IADS.
A contained high end theater.
A clearly defined front line.

Oh, and no fuel management required! Just point south and light the burners across the line to Seoul all the while threat defending from multiple SA-2's. If that's closed, spend the two minutes extra to divert to Osan.

hey guys!!!

What about an Iranian theater? Tensions are real in the middle east, there is always the gulf for carrier ops, and if say Israel would make a strike to take out some nuclear research lab or facility then we could be defending our ally and our position in Iraq (theoretically). Just another idea to throw out there. Either way I cant wait for the release of this great looking sim!!!


twon

Doesen't really matter. Could be a fictional theatre, as long as it works in the sim.

I think Iran would be nice as it represents a large portion of the middle east and probley the next hot spot in the world



thanks

I want to be TaiWan~

How about a training range in there also? CLAWR maybe.....biased Canadian and all.

My vote goes for "Other". That being Iran. It's a current hot spot and tensions seem very high. Higher than ever, in fact. Their military posses a credible, albeit weak, threat to American forces in the region. So you won't necessarily have to make up a threat as you would with Libya or Afghanistan.

This is my first post here on the forums, by the way. I love the work you guys have put in over the years. It's really fantastic to see how the simulator has evolved over the past year or so. Keep it up guys! As a Hornet fan I can't wait to see the final product!

Hi there, this was my first post... Greetings from Turkish Virtual Air Force.

Korea would be awesome imo... So, voted as Korea...

I'm sure it's too late but I vote for vast China, the defense of Israel or Iran.
