PLEASE update the caucasus airbases

A lot of stuff which ED has done have questionable long time turn effect.

 

I too think it would have been better if NTTR is free and Caucasus paid. NTTR has the training and learning vive with it.... Only squadrons used it anyway... Except for that odd public server, which stays empty.

 

Don't even get my started on trainer aircraft

There may be other aircraft in future where NTTR becomes a fitting map, besides, NTTR could be expanded to the West Coast for all we know.

Updating Caucasus to a better, more realistic layout, would not incite purchases of map modules. There's a reason they don't keep plowing cash and time into improving Caucasus...

Ah nope, I don't think the prettier Caucasus would have had any impact on my decision to get the F/A-18C + Persian Gulf.

Besides, an update to a map it's assuming the whole map, not selective update to a map.

Since Wags has repeatedly said that NTTR is done and will not be expanded, for all we know that is not going to happen.

So you just stated another reason for why they should _not_ throw away money on updating anything on Caucasus - People buy their other map-modules anyway ;)

Putting in more money in updating anything on Caucasus (other than bug-fixes) gives very bad ROI for ED. They did the 2.5 update, and that's about how much they can get out of it, IMO.

The OP's original post i agree with, as well as making building textures less bland and added variation in color of bldg.'s without a fps loss. Red brick, tan, yellow, maybe some green. The new updated lighting in PG map is nice, but while flying in daytime the landscape appears sterile imo.

Because it's free.

No. I've got all maps but spend 99% of time on caucasus

Same here. Have everything. Almost entirely on Caucasus. It is by far the more interesting map, despite the dated graphics and ''ugly stepson'' treatment.

If this could get integrated into core, that's all updates the Caucasus needs to get it up to par with other maps

Texture update helps a lot, as do Taz's trees (shoutout to Barthek and Taz, you guys are chef's kiss) but it needs new assets, too. The buildings are extremely dated (unsure if there's a mod for that), and in general the environment needs a pass overall.
