Decently optimized if you have a wooden PC.Eye-pleasing combination of nature&urban areas.The map is overall good, it took the guy around 2 months to make so it couldn’t be awful, I IMOyed it and enjoyed it YEARS ago when I was a little prick - I suggest trying it! What’s awesome about this map: It has nice natural scenery to it mixed with a touch of urbanization.
Welcome to Freespace 13, a pretty peachy map with a city and a few bridges that you can fly under or crash into, but if that’s not your forte there are some pretty buildings near a lake that need crashing into.
Cool visual effects(Palm trees, 3D skybox, etc).Plenty of buildings to explore or fly into.Map as big as the source engine allowed it to be.One cool distinct feature that I’ve noticed was the valley with an oasis that allows you to pull off cool tricks with yo plane/heli and plenty of other shenanigans! What’s awesome about this map: I like this map as well, it has plenty of buildings with hangars and helipads, a place for an AA turret, and most importantly plenty of space for dogfighting with yo buddies. I had fun flying aircraft and detonating nukes at the same time(just an idea, I wanted to recreate the scene from Modern Warfare 1) It surely deserves a spot in my eyes, despite it being more of an RP map than a flying Sandbox map. Some of ya’ll might disagree with me on this, but once upon a time I installed some armed helicopter addon and I had plenty of fun shooting at stuff, the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of the map immersed me and it has a pretty big skybox. You don’t like land? Do you think it’s too mainstream? Good, this is for you!.Of course, you don’t spawn in AIR, you spawn on some ship with a fairly long airstrip. This map actually doesn’t have a visible land and it generally takes place above clouds, I picked it because of how exceptional it looks! Besides that, it has a massive skybox and looks like a decent map for making cinematic videos. This map is all about simplicity, a big square with plenty of space to fly in.If you haven’t played Gmod for a long time it will very much give you nostalgia.It’s a different version of the default map - gm_flatgrass, I believe it’s just a bit slightly bigger. This is the map that you get if you’re not looking for anything special or fancy and just want to have fun with aircraft addons, the terrain is 99% flat so you can pretty much land anywhere. It’s the most basic map with a big skybox. This map does not have any special features, just literally FLAT GRASS.
Now, I won’t be judging the maps only by the size of their skybox, I’ll include features like the scenery, buildings, things that go well with aircraft(aka airstrips, helipads, etc), and plenty of other things! So, let’s get into it and lemme show ya some best maps for flying: 10.
What’s up guys, you like to fly? Perfect, because there are some badass maps with ultra- hyper-omega-mega massive skyboxes, where you can dogfight with your buddies, perhaps you just want to download some aircraft mods from the workshop or just do weird stuff like me and fly stuff into buildings - that’s the lovely thing about Gmod, you’re free to do anything you wish!
