I threw together a pretty cool training map for USA pilots:

I ran into a problem with the BF2editor...as it only lets you select from 3 sizes of maps. I fear that even the largest map that I chose will not have much room to maneuver...waiting on a PM from a DEV to see how to make a much larger map such as the desert. I also do not know how they designed their runways, so I just used concrete. It works just fine, but doesn't look as nice as I would like.

AIR_COMBAT_SIMULATOR_v1

included vehicles: F16, A10, Cobra

Map will include 4-5 "training areas" with mini-games in each location.
1) weapon cache: destructible maze of buildings with 7 hidden weapons depots. Helo teams will be timed on locating and eliminating the ammo dumps.
A10 pilots will be instructed to bomb the entire facility. Enemy AA sites have been located in the surrounding area and may or may not be active depending on Mat's mood.
2) bridge crossing: simulation of 2 armor convoys crossing a bridge. A-10 pilots and Helo teams will be judged on accurracy and number of total confirmed destroyed enemy vehicles. A-10 pilots will need to focus on proper attacking flight paths and score 80% accurracy on targets.
3) airfield: enemy airbase with destructible vehicles, radar, UAV, helis, arty, soldiers & bunkers. Pilots will be judged on accuracy of fire, selective targeting of commander assets. Helo teams will need to destroy the enemy soldiers, vehicles, then commander assets per VOIP command of a forward observer.
4) Industry: Intel confirms enemy factories have been manufacturing IED trucks in a local industrial plant. Helo teams will have to selectively target 5 bomb trucks & 2 bomb cars, while limiting collateral damage to adjacent infrastructure. A-10 pilots will be instructed to bomb 1 selected manufacturing building in the facility per forward observer.
5) Mosque: Intel confirms secret meeting of high priority targets in a local mosque & surrounding housing complex. Helo teams will be instructed to find and destroy enemy combatants in the area, while limiting damage to adjacent infrastructure. A-10 pilots will be instructed to level the entire place, including 2 subdivisions, hotel, mosque, and then blame it on Canada.
