For a while I've wanted maps just for pilot training and fantasy play. On occasion players have asked about this but nothing really happened. I'm guessing because there are several maps that players can pilot train in offline. And training on the map itself is better. However that's unsatisfying to someone who for years has expected continuing extensions to games such as UT and Quake.

Recently I tried AIRMaps 5.71. This is really a stunts MOD but it has some interesting bits. At this moment I'm not really sure it's possible to frag someone in this mod, but it's possible to die. C4? You want C4? How about 99 det packs? The weapons seem to be from the EuroPack. The J10 livery has been changed to high visibility. There are other hidden changes too.

Two maps come to mind. First is the Training Map which is a huge map containing two fully populated carriers in opposite corners with two hidden carriers (empty repair points) roughly in the center. Other than the carriers there are NO features on this map. It's easy to get lost out there. Lot's of room to maneuver and dogfight.

The second I'm especially impressed with is Boat Races - Stunt. While setup for boat races it's really a FANTASY map. It's a big one. The most surprising to me was the carrier in the sky (only 246 meters above ground??) that could not be seen from the ground. There are only buggies up there. It's used for HALO training. Jump off there and you can sail part-way across the map. Cool idea. There are many items to fly through like cranes, horizontal and VERTICLE tunnels. There is another populated carrier mounted on two tall spires. And there is a great deal of armor about for use and bombing.

There are three or four other maps that were extended for this mod. But the two above capture my attention the most.

What is all this getting to? I think NAW needs some FANTASY maps. Boat Races - Stunt shows that it can be done. I know that the two NAW maps for vehicle races aren't well played. Perhaps they fell short of the needed FUN factor?

How about some fantasy maps for NAW?

I think that would be good even if the pub serevers didn't run em they would be good practice on our servers, and just nice for a change of pace.
