Ironically, probably even dirtier. Trouble is, 99% of rivers do have transparent water, and making it opaque across the entire map for the sake Paris would be a step backwards. Simplest fix would be to make the river deep enough that you can’t see the bottom. (Same for all Hydro dams)

Now there’s the state of the world wrapped up in a single post. Fact free, grievance filled, and opinion stated as fact. Edit: This sounds harsh Lionel, & it is disapproving, but it’s not specifically at you, it is at the world - from time to time me included.

Make a trigger zone & place it on the vehicle you want to start with a radius of however far away you want to be when it starts up Set the vehicle to late start (visible before start), then In the triggers section make a trigger once, condition: unit in zone (zone = start zone, unit = you), Action: activate group, group to activate = the vehicle's group)

They weren’t asking for things from before that date to be added, they were asking for things from after the stated date to be removed. Can’t see it happening though. Although I’d love to see it as a map that straddles the eras of the USSR / USA occupations, I guess we have to accept that DCS is currently aimed at the Western consumer, and most of them want to fly the most modern aircraft in the most recent conflict. That means Western bases approaching fully fleshed, not late era Soviet bases and the first iterations of Western bases.

What the title says - there are a couple of ambulance skins for APCs, but none that I can find for 'civilian' or civilian-like vehicles (firefighters & a fire rescue skin for the land rover aren't quite the thing). Now that there are helicopter pads at airports, the obvious thing to do is transport casualties to the hospital - or just do civilian transfers, but there's nothing that can be waiting at the pad to pick up the 'ambulatory' patient & whisk them down the lane to A&E. Civilian would be good, but even a skin on a military vehicle would be better than nothing. t

I had been putting it to "on" when I originally posted (up), but when I checked against a started hot on the ground aircraft it was off, so I didn't the next time & also the startup list I had said: "Look at the Course System control panel. Make sure that the three-position operating mode switch is in the “МК” (MAG) position (...) On the ARK-15 control panel, set the mode switch to the “КОМ” (COMPASS) position" & on the hot started aircraft these were set to "Giro" and "off" respectively. Setting up as for the hot started aircraft instead of as for the checklist made it work. Thanks.

From a cold start, the cursor on the moving map always moves total distance travelled solely in the direction the aircraft spawned in, not the direction it travelled - so if I spawn facing North, take off and fly 10 km S, then 3 more 10km legs W, N, E, the moving map cursor indicates that I'm 40km North of where I started, not back at the starting point. (Syria Map) What have I missed in the startup?

It used to be possible to change how long destroyed objects burned for (& how long ‘trash’ like dead bodies persisted) by editing one of the .cfg files - now it’s .lua, which file has the parameter that would be copied to the auto exec file ?

Certainly works in Afghanistan if you hot start - & flick the switch to turn it on.

If you're making new map files - how about adding the labels for towns and cities in the West Bank that are modelled, but not named on the alt / sat maps?

I've had this map for a while, but only really started looking at it in detail a couple of days ago & I noticed something weird. The answer may have been explained earlier, but why are none of the modelled cities and towns on the Palestinian West Bank named on the alt/sat maps? If they weren't modelled it would be obvious, but they're there, just not labelled, & so at the moment places like Ein Hod (population 664) are named, while Jenin (population 60,000) isn't. Seems odd.

¿ You want them to not just look back but also stand up ? - if you tip your head over to look down, and you turn your head but don't stand up - that's what you'll see ....

It's true - you paid a discount rate for an unfinished product, and that's exactly what you got.

Sadly I think there's a good chance that with the export "A" E.D. might have generated a self fulfilling prophesy Over the years they've consistently said that they don't think a Full DCS version of a Russian aircraft would sell as well as a Blue module. I think in the end the first modern Red aircraft they do - a downgraded 'nerfed' version of an early airframe - might not be the best test of whether or not a full fidelity Russian aircraft would sell. To my mind they would probably have been better off starting with the Su-25 (or Su-25T) - the former because it's everywhere & so no longer 'secret', and has been upgraded in service with the RuAF well beyond the version we have in game, and doesn't have to compete against more modern aircraft (except helicopters and the A-10), & the later because there were so few of them made the Russian Govt can hardly say they're letting the cat out of the bag about the capabilities of an aircraft that they might have to field against someone (I don't know who - let's say NATO for a hypothetical example). The Su-25T is the nearest thing to a fixed wing Ka-50 we could get in that sense. Capable, real, but almost non-existent

Personally - I use an MSSWFF2 too, and find the airbrake shaker a very useful reminder the air brakes are extended. (Ko ahau ake - Ka whakamahi ahau i te MSSWFF2 hoki, ka kitea he whakamaumahara tino whai hua te wiriwiri rangi kua whakaroahia nga perei hau.)

Interesting - FC3 just works now without my doing anything - noting to install. Did you try any workarounds to try to get it to work before?

Comparing apples with apples though - it's not actually raining in the first & third of those videos though - it's just been raining (drops on the canopy, but none of them moving/running & no new ones forming), & even in the one that it is raining, it's not raining hard - look at the deck crew & how there's no rain in the air between the camera & them, and they're not dripping water, just turning away from the wind.

FATI: a collection of old screenshots of the same sorts of errors & EA glitches we're talking about here from other maps while they were in EA:

So you say : "I'm passing on it for now" Just curious - If you haven't bought it, how do you know you "agree with those saying they aren't impressed by this map" & that "The map is super repetitive, flat, or mountainous" Maybe say, otherwise it sounds like you're just making judgements based on other people's posts, which would be a poor way to make decisions.

Jack Spratt would eat no fat His wife would eat no lean between them both every night they licked the platter clean I took one look around this & uninstalled Syria... (I found nicely made, but surprisingly uninspiring for mission making.)

Been away, had a bit of a fly, stopped for lunch. So... On the one hand here we have someone here suggesting that the map is just too big and should have been smaller, and on the other hand there's an entire thread devoted to complaining that it should have been extended all the way down to the PG to allow carrier operations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What do you do The more I fly around the more I think it's a very geologically varied map well suited to a wide variety of engagements & scenarios, the more bits I find that could do with more work / are plainly not finished, and the more bits I find that I really like. I imagine when it's finished I'll just have this and the Caucuses map installed (Georgia and Afghanistan being the only two maps that really have the possibility of ongoing 'wars' that don't become world war III within a couple of days of starting).

Isn't what constitutes "A reasonable level of disappointment" the question though? Is it "reasonable" to buy a green hard, plainly unripe avocado from the the market, then go back to the market the next day demanding your money back because the avocado wasn't ripe when you got it home? If you can't find a ripe avocado in the bulk-bin you either don't buy an avocado, or you buy one & wait for it to ripen. Buying it knowing it's not ripe then complaining after the fact that it's not ripe is not expressing a 'reasonable level of disappointment' To the extent that there is a 'reasonable level of disappointment' to be felt here, it should be those people who purchased the early access map - that as I showed above it is plainly stated on the website is unfinished and buggy - being disappointed that they let their impatience get the better of them & purchased something that with a little aforethought they would have known they were going to be unhappy with. Going back to the avocado analogy - if I knowingly buy an unripe avocado for my dinner tonight, the person I should be disappointed with when it's currently inedible is myself, not the supermarket for selling it to me. As to the second point - I can deal with other people's opinions, but I don't have to agree with them & as you said, this is the place to express them (Also - are you actually complaining that I'm killing the complaining vibe in the complaining thread & should take my lack of understanding for complaining to where it doesn't upset people ?)

So let me see if I've got it... You believed from previous experience - & before purchase - that this is how the DCS graphics engine renders maps - & you don't like it... & you knew - again, before purchase - that this map was unfinished... but you still find it necessary to complain loudly after purchasing it that the map is unfinished & doesn't render terrain to your satisfaction? ¯\(°_o)/¯ Nope - I don't get it (& you probably shouldn't have)
