I'm just sitting here waiting to see the A-7, Tornado and the Germany map... I feel I may be a tad too optimistic

Oh I am just curious why everybody is counting down to 16:00 UTC? It could well be 20:00 UTC yet

BigNewy said evening? I haven't seen any mention today of an actual time.

Well yes, people do actually do that as stores offer refunds for being unhappy with a product.. Stung again by digital purchases......

Is there any chance of a refund to "return" the Afghan map if we don't like this style? It looks awful and I deeply regret wasting my money on a map I have barely used due to the terrible visuals.

That doesn't really provide any benefit if it's not classed as an enemy object, just pretty effects. Oh well, typical DCS. Thanks for the info

I thought it did for Syria, will have to rerun a mission at some point. If they don't, then why bother marking the warehouses as belonging to the faction?

The work you and all the other modders do to improve the sim is greatly appreciated. I've read his books, a few other harrier books too. Great insight into operating the bird. "How to be a fighter pilot" is another good harrier book.

That's fantastic! So, so much closer to the original. Very interested in following your work on this!

With the situation with Razbam and ED, I understand development of the modules is ceased. So are we stuck with the vacuum cleaner whine as the engine sounds? Cockpit sounds seem comparable to the real thing from what I've seen and heard on videos, but the external noise has always been abysmal. I've been near lots of flying Harriers over the years and the sound is visceral, raw. Ear shattering, especially in hover. In DCS the MB-339 has more roar than the harrier in external views....

Could you please share the template/paintkit you used to make these?

May be same for other airfields too, but after destroying four fuel silos/depots at Tarinkot, I was surprised to get nothing on BDA or post mission events. Airfield was marked as Red, my side Blue.

Ok no problem. I guessed there must be a reason! Thanks

I thought I was going mad because I can't find anybody else mentioning it. But why is only the chute retarded version of the MK-84 available on stations 2 & 8? On the other MK-84 compatible stations slick is available, but not here?

I can't find any bits that are "done" to fight over unless I only attack airbases, which gets repetitive.

Thank you for showing similar can be done. I think I need to play with the throttle differently when I try it, sounds like they push max throttle as they start the slide. All timing I guess

See vid from 3:35 - 3:55. Every time I try and pull hard "slides" through the sky at low speed like this I just get lots of warnings and a slow turn. What is the method for forcing the back of the plane around like that, and is it even modelled in DCS? I know this is a CF-18, not a Charlie, but given it's based on the older A model I would have thought it was possible.

I mean different versions would be nice, but as it is we don't even have the country the map is set in as a faction at all. Which is frankly bizarre.

And a lot (most) of the bridges are ridiculous, roads and railways going up huge steep ramps to the bridge deck

Agreed, but it is bizarre that we got a whole country as a map, without that country being selectable as a faction.. it's like if we hadn't been able to select Argentina as a faction on the South Atlantic map.

Will new factions be added?

I've asked in three different threads about factions for the map and been ignored by ED. I doubt they will add any assets if they won't even confirm adding new factions to use them.

Will appropriate factions be added to core game/mission editor to use with the map? For example Afghanistan to represent the ANA. As well as Taliban and Mujahideen for era appropriate Redfor? We currently have "Insurgents", but that doesn't always work, especially if we were to set conflict in 2024 when the Taliban are ruling and have access to more than just technicals.

Not really seen much info on factions to be added? I take it that Afghanistan, Taliban and Mujahideen will be added as factions? Would be a shame and wrong to just use "Insurgent" for them, especially as they are on opposing sides.
