Ala13_ManOWar Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Apparently no. There's comments in FB saying it's a bit far away and out of the map's scope. S!

Very Sad Cyprus Should have been a Priority !!! Been an Air Traffic Controller at Nicosia Area Control Center I can see every day Eurofighters plus an A332 Tanker get airborne from Akrotiri and going into Syria for a Mission ( Patrol , bombing etc...) !!

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 14, 2020 ED Team Share Posted June 14, 2020 I lived in Cyprus for a number years and guarded RAF Akrotiri because the RAF were not capable of doing it themselves ( this is an Army joke poking fun at the RAF :) ) Sadly Cyprus is not in the scope for this terrain, but if there was a chance I would be right behind it. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Pikey Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Sad but expected. I would have to say, "i'd pay for Cyprus" How could we go about still championing the idea of getting Cyprus added if we are likely to buy the Syria map on it's existing features? ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a bit of a shady marketing move to say that "it's not planned, but might come, if it sells well". Honestly, that's not treating the potential customers with the respect they deserve. Better to make absolutely clear, that there won't be cyprus, no matter what. Make sure people buy it for what it is. If you later decide, for whatever reasons, that you want to include cyprus, it would come as a pleasant surprise.

donkeyrider Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks, that's better. But also sad. It's difficult. There's a time and cost involved in making these maps. If the sales are strong, then adding extra features is justified. If sales are not strong, then the developers need to move on to something else. I'm glad it is no longer an outright "no" and they are opening the door, just a crack, to the potential of doing this at some point in the future.

Hoirtel Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 RAF Akrotiri would be a good base for the Typhoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck21 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Please re-think the Cyprus case, RAF Akrotiri would make so much sense! The airbase would need to be high detail, but other things of Cyprus wouldn't need to be super detailed, since we'd really only depart and come back. So no need for a highly detailed city of Larnaca if that's not feasible. But RAF Akrotiri is a must :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 For game play, it should be there. 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
