Apologies if this should be moved to the 'Requests and Ideas', but could a section be added for map templates / populated maps (with AA / airfields / ports) that could then be used as a base to create missions from, like this section on Mission For Today?

(Below are a couple of screenshots from a large populated map I have started creating for the English Channel).

I would like to base some of the Templates for UQMG on work such as yours.  With Credit of course.

I wouldn't mind this as well.

I can't create new sections but I do not see why you could not post your templates under Missions, with a proper title. What you have there is a populated mission. Every populated mission can be a template after all.

I understand your point. By templates, I mean more maps without many flights e.t.c., but prepared with ground objects.
Building up some templates with ground objects ready could help everyone make more immersive missions.

I guess it would simply be a better way of organizing things/users many years from now will not have to go digging in the missions forumn for templates... Should we all still be around for that...

Should this be moved to the requests and ideas section?

Also, should any section created be under 'BAT Templates' / in the Missions and Campaign's section?

I spend a lot of time making missions, I feel like I have a very specific idea of what I am trying to do and spend a lot of time trying to make it happen.

I feel like templates would be awesome for added detail on maps that can be deleted if needed.  Some newer maps are really nice, but will have things on it that are too much graphic wise.

Like a dock with a bunch of oil drums on it that kill your fps when your planes bomb the ships at the docks... (burma)

I did piggy back on a fully made "template" kind of mission of Pearl Harbor where all the air fields were done up with most aircraft on the US side flying that day.  I was able to map out the whole day... both waves of the attack existing on the mission at the same time.  Full real numbers.  Was in HSFX though, not sure how to bring it into BAT with all the different objects.

Is there an admin who can move this thread into the requests and ideas section?
