    I would agree that the maps you mention would be good, but I would want the option to have selective camoflage for tanks and vehicles to match the map enviroment, but yes its a start, but you need more than just extra maps for longevity of IL2FB.
    Were able to "skin" the aircraft it would be better if we could "skin" all the objects too.

    Hell yeah! I'd pay for maps like that. And, like KG26 said we need to have the ability to skin the static aircraft and vehicles. If we couldn't have vehicles at least give us the ability to choose custom skins for static A/C

    If this add-on was released tomorrow I'd certainly buy it!

    Still the main issue I see is that it would take very long to make these maps. Luthier said that he needed six months for the Normandy maps. And you are asking for many maps that are even larger. When would these be completed? And will we still be playing FB then? Or will we be fed up with the quality of maps we can get with the current engine? BOB, the next generation of Oleg's sims, is due to be released probably in the next year with a higher standard and as far as I know they plan to make add-ons for BOB that include most of your suggested theatres.

    So for me this is mainly a question of timing.

    And remember the problems with Gulf of Finland map causing lag 500mb maps induce some lag in coop mission if they are "Busy" with aircraft, its a large map which is good but not without playability issues for some pilots.

    IMO that is one of the few drawbacks to this sim. It is the one area where CFS3 has it beat... although the quality of FB maps IMO is much better.

    Pay for a map pack? You have got to be crazy - Maps should be opensource and an SKD released like IGOR to create our own maps.

    But when you're pony does only one trick - I guess you have to milk it for all its worth.

    I would pay for extra maps if they were of the areas I wanted. Mind you, I'd rather have Oleg pay me for making them, I've been a cartographer for nearly 30 years!
    Cheers!
