I just want to know what the holdup is with the announcement of content for TF 6.0?

We were 20 posts in before mention of the Speedtree "problem" resolution.  ?

Since the add-on's release (TF5.0 in 2020) the map depicts both 1940 and 1941. So, in my opinion, there won't be in the future a Channel map for 1940/1941 and another map (as a separated item in the mission builder for example) that would be the Channel map in 1942. The add-on "Desert Wings - Tobruk" didn't add a separated 1941 Channel map in the mission builder. Thus, most likely, TF6.0 wo'nt add any 1942 Channel map. TFS is correcting, improving and upgrading the Channel map, I know, but my understanding is that there won't be a Channel map that would be separated and especially conceived for the Channel geographical area in 1942.

Yes, for scenarios in Desert Wings that take place over the Channel Map in 1941, it's over the 1940 map. Buzzsaw says below: "we would also improve the Channel Map, include the 1942 era fortifications and coastal guns, etc."

If you mean that it is strange that is wasn't mentioned earlier ... 

We probably wouldn't think it was strange if there were problems.

Game development is a continual process of banging heads against walls. It isn't odd if something doesnt work. The normal development process is as follows:

1) think of something good to include in the game.

2) Try to include it.

3) Bang head repeatedly.

So hopefully 2024 will see the VU magic happen?

I think overall there is just an overall apathy at this stage. 

V5's graphic, Speedtree and VR update are all still a long way off and there is so very little to drive discussion. 

Hell even one thread like this gets interest going again, but realistically it will fade away and apathy will ensue. 

 

Just based on previous WiP, this must be similar to the work still to be done?

I missed that! Thank you Enceladus, but, again, nothing proves that there will be a separated map for 1942. "include the 1942 era fortifications and coastal guns, etc." this could be a set of new scenery items so that the mission builder allows the 1940 map fits better in the 1942 context.
