Chrispy has a workaround for increasing the 'flat areas' of a map, although the custom terrain or parts of it will have to go up with the S/P map.

We have seen it all before, 'The I want to be first routine' with any new Nova game since DF1, many mappers have a poor understanding of 'z' values, or even how to work the 3d view, although I nag, some listen many don't ...so don't, or never learn.
The more experienced mapper will at least complete his work with DFX1 or even attempt to rebuild to DFX2, but the passion will be lost as he fights his way around with the new additions and other distractions, this can be viewed in many of the current maps for DFX2.
It is my opinion that Nova games have fallen short since BHD, I for one do miss the
shoddy slums, buildings of BHD, the UAV of TFD, the GUI of DFLW or even the music of DF2,
For the last few years UAV's, V22's, satcom, and even the 'NEW' camo gear has been the US Army/ Marines SOP (standard operating procedure)...but does Nova care?
