Okay, maybe the full world is a bit overkill. But even then, what you described is maybe 15km on each side. That is impossibly small for a flight sim. Just the Desert Storm area would be between 1000 and 2000km on each side.
I do understand that this is a big project, but apparently enough, no one else is going to do it in the near future. And I’m also doing it for a school project.
Let’s take for example Falcon BMS, famous for it’s accuracy and decades-old engine base. The basic map size is 32x32 tiles, or 512x512km. The largest map, mideast128 is 128x128, or 2048x2048km. To my knowledge, only one to five people worked on that map AND the campaigns included.
If you guys want me not to do this project, I’ll be happy for suggestions of simulation games to make.
