BaD CrC Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think this is going to be the best map ever for choppers. Considering the amount of details, it simply begs for low and slow. With the Kiowa and the Mi24 coming, I can see countless missions coming and the size is more than sufficient for our operations. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThorBrasil Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Both so you always have some variation options :pilotfly: The Real currency is very devalued against the dollar. So I can only choose one. To give you an idea, here in Brazil a worker earns 1200 reais(225 dollars) on average per month. A module here costs 420 reais. DCS is extremely expensive for Brazilians. I know that ED is not to blame for our currency being extremely worthless. :thumbup: |Motherboard|: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS, |WaterCooler|: Corsair H115i Pro, |CPU|: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, |RAM|: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200MHz DDR4, |SSD|: Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe, |SSD|: Kingston 2.5´ 480GB UV400 SATA III, |SSHD|: Seagate Híbrido 2TB 7200RPM SATA III, |GPU|: MSI Gaming 980Ti, |Monitor|: LG UltraWide 34UM68, |Joystick 1|: Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog, |Joystick 2|: T.Flight Rudder Pedals, |Head Motion|: TrackIr 5.

OnlyforDCS Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not sure if this has been asked before. Will the map have different texture sets for different seasons? I know that it is mostly a desert map, but in parts of Syria and certainly in Lebanon, these regions look very different during different seasons.

I know that ED is not to blame for our currency being extremely worthless. :thumbup: Then probably wait to see how good each module is? One is by ED, the other is third party. The KW should be mostly complete by release from what I could see on their subforum, I am not sure if it will be the same for the Hind given the state of the Viper, Hornet, etc. That being said, they are totally different. KW is a light attack/recon bird, the Hind is a heavy attack/transport helo. I think they will be complementary, both in terms of flying experience for you, as well as mission capabilities. So in the end it will depend what you like to do most.

ThorBrasil Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) When will be avalible in Steam? With 30% preorder discount? The Syria map will not come out on Steam with a pre-sale discount. It will arrive on Steam with full price. At least that's what I saw here on the forum. will there be steam discount at the release? No preorder for Steam, sorry. no I mean a discount for a period Nothing planned currently. No. Edited August 13, 2020 by ThorBrasil |Motherboard|: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS, |WaterCooler|: Corsair H115i Pro, |CPU|: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, |RAM|: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200MHz DDR4, |SSD|: Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe, |SSD|: Kingston 2.5´ 480GB UV400 SATA III, |SSHD|: Seagate Híbrido 2TB 7200RPM SATA III, |GPU|: MSI Gaming 980Ti, |Monitor|: LG UltraWide 34UM68, |Joystick 1|: Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog, |Joystick 2|: T.Flight Rudder Pedals, |Head Motion|: TrackIr 5.

The terrain is really intricate, You will really enjoy helicoptering all those "waadee's" flowing into the south Lebanon Mediterranean coast. And there is a very special place for me on that map. About 12km south following the coast from the town of Tyre. Maybe I will make a "April 18th, 2020, 2AM" mission some day. Will need an Apache module to be 100% authentic however Anton.

ED Team Wags Posted August 14, 2020 Author ED Team Share Posted August 14, 2020 Dear all, Ugra has been listening to your concerns about lack of sea area for naval operations, and they have now greatly expanded the sea area to the west of the map. Cyprus is clearly missing in the attached image, but that will come later during the early access period. As mentioned in a previous video, we are still determining the how and when of how the addition of Cyprus (as huge undertaking) will be handled.

twistking Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Actually we dont really care for the cities in cyprus if u can model akrotiri it will be enough[...] What? Noo! I think most are ok when cyprus turns out to be a little bit generic without specific landmarks, but it has to be modeled completely on a basic level. There is nothing more immersion-breaking than having visual borders where detail degrades abruptly. It does not need to be a perfect represenation, but only modeling akrotiri is not really enough.

ChillNG Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I think fair play to Ugra for deciding to add Cyprus following community requests, can only imagine it will be a massive amount of extra work they've decided to undertake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qiou87 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Indeed, classy move. Hope it means the sales so far are strong - I can only hope that the financial success of this map for Ugra means we will see more projects like this one in the future. So many interesting places are suggested regularly to take advantage of our current and future plane roster, ED cannot be the only company making maps for DCS.

Cyprus...will come later during the early access period. determining the how ... of Cyprus (a huge undertaking) TWO pieces of fantastic news - many thanks to Ugra & ED for making this happen! In re Cyprus, I personally would be fine if you handled it like the Caucasus map, with Akrotiri being at the same fidelity as the other airbases in the Syria map.
