All very personal of course, but fwiw: I have all maps (except for the ww2 ones) and Syria is my favorite, due to all its details (I like helo ops, so for me ground details are important). Also, I like Syria's diversity (water/sea, forests, desert, large cities) and its potential for historically accurate scenarios. In terms of scenery detail, I'd say Sinai is on par with Syria (the Nile area is also quite green), but imo Syria is just a more interesting map for either accurate, or fictional full blown war type of scenarios SA is also quite beautiful. It just completely lacks content.. PG is nice, but not as detailed as Syria and Sinai. NTTR (imho) is just far too outdated, scenery detail wise. Although it looks good from 10k+ft

Not to mention that in DCS all scenery also need a damage model (preferably even a few damage model variants). I can imagine all these extra variables can add to performance strain. (That other civvy sim has it easy, compared to what's needed for DCS )

I love helo ops, so I probably end up buying the Hook anyways, but it is current state of ground units and lack of an interactive logistics system that hold me back at the moment. Moving static cargo (troops/mortar units) around is fun for a short while, but if that cargo can actually join in a battle after I've dropped them, now that would add endless fun to the endeavor. This screenshot, showing new infantry units, get my hopes up!

Isn't that only applicable to MP missions? I mean, I'm sure I was rejected to play certain SP missions in the past because I didn't download some mod. Or has this recently changed?

Tnx @Hiob The way I read that (but my glass is usually half full ), is that we have nothing at all to worry about.

Please forgive my ignorance (I don't use discord or Reddit or any other platform, so perhaps I'm missing news here), but how do you guys know if there at all still is an issue? I mean, I haven't seen any official announcements on this forum from ED about this whole thing. Call me naïve (I probably am ), but how do we know if there even still is an issue between Razbam and ED right now?

Hi @markturner1960, Adding a sound file (such as radio chatter) is actually very simple. No need for to add a zone (also no need for the readme ) You can just add an action "Sound to all" (or any of the variants, like sound to coalition ...): If you don't add any conditions, the sound file will play as soon as the mission starts. But you can also add a "time is more" condition, like in this example: You can make it as complex (realistic) as you want. For instance, you can transmit the sound file on a certain frequency, so that clients/players need to actively tune their radios to that freq, to be able to hear the sound file. Like in this example: You can also transmit on a frequency directly from a unit (without creating a zone). Like in this example: As far as I know, the sound file should either be .wav or .ogg format If you're interested, you can open this mission of mine, in the ME and see how I used sound files. I mostly used ground units to transmit from. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331796/ EDIT: @razo+r sniped me (I type too slow ) I haven't tested with playing more than one sound file simultaneously. If you use the "transmit on frequncy" option, I suppose it's possible. But if you use "Sound to all" I don't think you can play more than one sound file at the same time.

Interesting stuff (Probably my most used volume knob in entire DCS )

Our current amazing clouds imo are much MUCH more important than this, but some nice water effect would indeed be nice (helo downwash effect over water too) And, with Afghanistan incoming, we need more dust, in order to be able to do this: My poor old trusty gtx1080ti will probably not like this though

Are you guys seriously starting this: again? (what a waste of internet...)

"No"? You do realize this is the wishlist sub forum?

I'm sure this has been asked before (couldn't find it that quickly).. DCS is still leaning heavily on user created content (missions/campaigns). Currently it is very annoying that I don't get any kind of notification when someone asks something in any of my uploaded user files. Uploaders now need to actively check all their content, to see if anyone replied/asked something. C'mon ED, please add some sort of option just like we have on this forum, to "follow" a user file and receive notifications when something is posted or updated there.

His/her username is self-explanatory @Rudel_chw

Quite off-topic, but.. You do know about the delay Heatblur share a while ago?
