I have to try again, maybe it’s not the case in Sim…
Map and vehicle developments have no relation whatsoever. Map teams and artists are entirely seperate from vehicle devs. We add new locations every update.
Im not sure where the idea of this connection came from.

Definetly the same in SB. Was playing the SHar 2 days ago and Harrier Gr1 Yesterday. Both are the same on take offs

Do the map and vehicle team not communicate?
“were gonna add the falklands map, the british people will love this”
“ahh, the SHar domination ground… yeah were not fixing any of its issues this update just because we cba. cool enjoy the new map losers with your broken aircraft”

All teams communicate. Not in the way you insinuate however.
Its a massive oversimplification to simply water the Falklands down to just “Shar domination ground”. Decisions are not taken in that way.
The Locations has huge historical significance and has taken many months to develop. This is entirely seperate from any one aircrafts outstanding reports or suggestions. The map is not just for Harriers.

Still a tad shame that it wasnt even paired with a GE skin for the FRS1e though.
But anyway. Im just wondering if the Falklands is going to get Scaled up to its IRL size and added to SB still

Just wondering - any news regarding the stabilised t-34-85?
Weve never done this for any other vehicles when a Location was added before. So it wouldn’t be something to expect this time too.
Skins are added typically in events and specials.

Nothing currently.
26/0 says the harrier was the boss of the map.
All jokes aside i can think of an ACE of things wrong with the SHar alone
- IR Signature is incorrect. Would require a whole revamp of IR signatures to be 100% accurate, but something could be retrofitted with the coding for the F117 to lower its IR signature until the revamp
- Flight performace in VIFF is wrong. Its too weak, VIFF currently doesnt effect the airframe nearly as strongly as it should IRL.
EEGS for the SHar. Simple fix for RB mode in the external radar mode. EEGS gun lead on the radar screen
HUD still missing the gun sight in cockpit.
SMOKE. Why has the engine still got thick black plumes in level flight. 30 seconds of youtube footage of any harrier flying has no smoke emitted unless its in VTOL mode.
Im sure there is more, and these mostly aimed towards the SHar (e) and SHar (4 aim9L)
Again, this isnt your fault youre just a CM but can we get any of these bumped, just EEGS and smokeless engines would be a great step for this update

ah kk thx anyway
Perhaps, but we’ve been waiting 2 years for a skin and plenty of events could have been marked to add such a skin.
From Falklands war Aniversery on the 14th of June. To Sharkey Wards birthday on the 17th of May (I really need to do a sugestion for him, would be a good profile pic, pages of history thing) or the founding of the fleet air arm on April 1st
Just a tad shame thats all. Especially combined with the dismall state of the SHars and their barely half finished nature

So umm answer me this, why does it have historical significance….
What happened there and what was involved lol
Not to mention you should have 110% thrust when just at 100% lol
You are more than welcome to read further into the subject, as there is plenty of information avalable online: https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/a-short-history-of-the-falklands-conflict
However thats as far as this dicussion goes here. As this is a feedback thread for the next major update, not a conflict discussion.

What would be the best way to report the fact the Falklands map is modeled to be about half the size it should be?

A bug report with sufficient evidence.
Swiss Hornets got their individual cockpits. What puzzles me is that they have done the SuperHornet cockpit for Upgrade25, but I doubt that GJ has engineered the avionics. It get the impression that it is just a visual upgrade.
so when is the update dropping? next year?
Quick update, its not planned for this major. Thats for sure now at least. A future update.
