15 bucks for some textures? Just to balance the hype a bit: I'll say I pass on this offer.

+1

 

It's beautiful indeed no doubt about that but almost all of my flying times in DCS I spend to look for the enemy rather than admire the scenery. So its not that important thing for me

 

Good luck

As long as other texture mods reamain unchanged in the future with dcs support for mods and not taken out by some new integrity checks it's all ok :smilewink:

 

Yea that's true, I enjoy having having the option to enjoy the work of different modders, free or paid. But from what I understand if it does become upgraded to NTTR standard, then there might be a possibility of it being locked, either way then everyone will get a free upgrade anyway, it just might take while. In the mean time I can enjoy new content....I hate waiting.

@starway - great job, awesome work i fell in love with the new scenery as soon as i saw it in the stream.. i almost forgot that the stream was actually about something else... it kinda stole the show.

 

I think the presentation of this as a DLC component could have been handled better, i think it gave a lot of people including me the wrong impression.. reading this thread has helped. Knowing that ED will be continuing to develop and improve, releasing updated textures, meshes, and other enhancements for this map really make this a much simpler topic.. its just an option. i had thought this was going to be the only way to get an update to the black sea map, but i see i was wrong there.

 

Regardless i think the FLIR stuff looks good, and i look forward to improvements you may make in the future. The quality of this looks really good and for helo guys and even low flying A-10/Su-25 pilots i think it will make a good improvement.

Question

Are these textures/improvements on only the existing objects in there existing locations? or does it add/move objects. I know that in some missions a wingman may talk you onto a target based on, "Look at the 2nd street over, the in front of the third large white building"... If one player has this DLC and the other doesn't.. will both see the "large white building" in roughly the same place to a tank placed via the mission editor? or will the two pilots see different buildings or even different town layouts...

 

I wanted to ask because some of the screenshots give the impression they might be different layouts and that the above talk on scenario may cause issues.... what are you thoughts. how will this DLC affect those types of situations.

For a solo player it may not matter, but it may be an important factor in the decision to buy for those that primarily do MP.

Anyways great work, you deserve credit for the hard work, and i hope to see it continue.

Im personally very interested in buying it myself, but might need to see some of the details, although at $15 i may just chance it lol

thanks again for the hard work.

and will be available very soon!

 

Do You think about alternative trees for this payware mod (no shadows "on the trees")?

Please think about this ( example of Mustang mod: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2495081&postcount=7 ). This new trees from DCS 1.5 costs fps so the best option is to have two kind of trees on the installation screen. Please see this:

 

Default (this shadows "on trees" - no under it - looks strange and affects fps):

With mod (and with better level of fps on the low and slow height, it looks like old DCS trees, Sweet FX also):

So, will this "DLC" be compatible with the already working Caucasus? Or will this create another separation between the community?

 

For free map DCS (Georgia - Gruzja :) ) from 1.5 and 2.0 (in the future - I hope!).

The DLC will be compatible on release, and when 1.5 and 2.0 are merged

 

It is a simple choice of buying it or not, no separation is being created

No, I mean. Is this DLC going to affect it in a way, that those without the DLC won't be able to join servers with the DLC map on? Because it sounds not like typical reskin but as another version of a map that will not be compatible with the current map.

 

In other words. Will I be able to join a server that has the "New Map" while I do not own the "DLC"?

Of course, yes, you will be able to join.

Any chance of us having this before or at the same time as the gazelle?

 

Cos that is the first thing I think of flying when I see those pictures and videos. :)

 

btw - this isn't a question - just a wish/hope.

Is the map update ED has been talking about coming anyway? Especially terrain mesh and trees. Will this DLC then be compatible with the updated Caucasus map? I thought the terrain engine will be upgraded, so the textures will very likely not be compatible. I am a bit confused on this one..

 

ED update March 25th 2016:

[...] In addition to these features, we also plan to include an improved Caucasus map, new and improved explosions and clouds, improved network code, and the new procedural grass and ground clutter. [...]
