Mohamengina Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Should be free. I've already spent about 300 dollars on this game and if ED can't put this in for free, I'm going to to have to reconsider buying anymore DCS products if I have to pay for a texture upgrade. This is become more insane by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceandar Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 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 Gam Zeh Ya'avor - King Salomon Mastering others is strength.

Redacuragsr Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akatsuki Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 About the amount of snow. Maybe ED could add a fifth season called "Hard Winter" for the exceptionally snow covered days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracoLlasa Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) @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.

YoYo Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) 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): Here is the reason why: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159434 .

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"? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

rel4y Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) 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.
