Kinda thoughtful of them to reward the folks who antied up for the Beta, if I am reading it correctly.

I've never played Nevada. What's so important with it? What's wrong with the practice range north of Bantumi?

To me it's real world training. The A-10 Weapons school is based at Nellis as well as many international training exercises.

I would not say you are getting a freebie map. When this sim was purchased by us "beta testers" it was with the understanding that Nevada was part of the DCSA10C package. They have since changed their minds on how its going to be packaged. It would be bad business practice to tell all the people that prepurchased this product that its included then change your mind and take it away after your customer purchased the product that they were told included the Nevada map. They had no choice but to offer it up to the prepurchase customer.

Bring on the Iraq/Syria/Iran/Afghanistan map and I'm in for the pay DLC-stuff. If there are a few campaigns to go with it I'm gladly chucking in a good size wad of cash.

Well Charlie, with the Nevada tileset those areas of the world that you described will certainly be feasible. I'm sure even if ED doesn't make a map, that the community can figure it out.

I'm hoping for that. I couldn't really be bothered about another tour of the black sea area. While I'm sure someone will churn out at least an Afghanistan map, I am concerned about campaigns for it. I'm actually more into the combat simulation and game aspect than the actual flight simulator (at least to the degree where I'd prefer a good mission to an engine start-up procedure or machines that go beep when you fart in the cockpit, no matter how realistic). It would be great to do a campaign flying support for small unit operations. I'm fed up with disposing of endless groups of randomly placed vehicles. I want to hunt for a mortar team and then with some FAC guidance dispose of it. From the videos I've seen A10 got a lot of potential, just hope there will be a good deal of gaming in the package as well.

Elvis will be there, I presume, and a big water faucet open wide. Remember those terrain features, anyone?
