Iām confused. When I first saw the announcement and the mention of ānorth and westernā I thought maybe theyād be including Java/ Sumatra/ Indonesia- you know because F4U and Essex incoming. But just part of the coastal areas of Australia? I guess for training scenarios itāll workā¦?
Iām wondering (hoping) this is a new dev doing something simple-ish to learn the tools, kinda like other aircraft devs have started with trainer aircraft to learn the SDK.

What I was thinking as well, itās generally quite sparsely populated, so you can probably cover a lot of ground with good orthophotography. WRT scenarios though, hmmā¦

I am a through-and-through Hornet guy, so there are certainly training scenarios that Iāll be using this Australia map for, but from a sales & revenue perspective this seems like an odd choice.

I can see using it as a test bed for technology with data they have already paid for and know how to use.

F111 better be confirmed. 
And though I like that straya is getting some love map wise. Unfortunately, the map isnāt exciting me. For me itās becoming clear that we need to quickly move away from fully pre loaded small maps. Dcs in my opinion, needs to start map streaming so we can have decent map sizes.
For me and for some time now, with a2a refuelling and great carriers, the maps are feeling somewhat restrictive in size.
I think, Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia would make for a great theatre/s however having such a small chunk of oz and some ocean isnāt enough for me to scream āgimme an f111ā.
Donāt get me wrong, there is a valid case for āthe more the betterā. But I am not chucking a woody over it just yet. If it comes with an f111, I will buy it with the wife pension fund tomorrow!

Resuscitating this thread as ORBX posted the product page with a lot of good info and some nice screenshots.
(I couldnāt find a more recent thread about the Kola map)

The only concern I have is about it being installed via Orbxās tool, and what that means for updates, consistent file locations, etc.
