Done:

Hello, first of all, of course, thank you for the map, I'm glad that we finally have Afghanistan, at least in part. However, I would like to draw your attention to the rather poor "quality" of the ground textures, compared to other desert maps: PG, Syria, Sinai or even Nevada. The map is very uneven in terms of texture quality. Of course, I'm talking about the current area, which is EA, but as I understand it, this part should be 100% completed? Compared to Syria, for example, we unfortunately have a much worse map in terms of background textures. Few examples: sometimes the map looks very good and everything is great here unfortunately, sometimes we have transitions between the areas made probably by hand and the phototextures (?), in the form of sharp edges, unfortunately it looks terrible, sometimes it takes strange shapes that do not match the rest, it looks like... old "textures ideas" from texture autogen from Flight Simulator 2004 even with an error caused during installation and finally, there are areas that are quite blurry, probably a phototextures but somehow I have the impression that it looks worse than on other desert maps (resolution problem?) and worse than on Kola and SA maps. Not my screen, maybe not even the worst, but you can see it on the sticker: Will the current map area be improved in this respect? Syria is perfect in this respect, here it is somehow strange, flying low. Maybe it will be ok for jets at 13.000 ft +, but for low altitude flights it is, let's be honest, very average by 2024 standards.

Yes, for me with VR everything is ok, I noticed that OXR Toolkit was reseted only and I needed set up it again but everthing works fine (I dont use quadview btw).

Noticed too, we have a lot transitions like this on this new map, doesnt look good. This example isnt too bad, but with green fields looks worse. I’ll open the topic about it in the Afghan map corner. The answer is simply, link cable has better compression, its very visible. On air link you can use only 250 Mb/s bitrate, on the cable 960. Near 4x more.

Some changes are in FLIR, unfortunately what happened in my opinion is worse. The last version was quite ok, now the picture looks different than before the patch and the differences are smaller instead of bigger.

Something incoming:

Im sure it was something like this ;). All testers have it so nobody noticed what happens if someone has FC3 only. We have to wait for a hotfix or changes for ED autorization server.

Unfortunately, the idea is not good, it obscures the map. Alternatively, maybe add a new function in the map options - on/off countries? Now it doesn't look nice, at least to me.

I feel like something has changed in the patch DCS 2.9.6.57650. Now the "heat effect" seems to have been reduced, and the FLIR image appears more faded and similar, rather than more distinct. Overall, things haven't been bad lately, although he didn't stand out enough, now it's gone the other way. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Reported and answered.

I also see this in new module menager: notice about installation (perhaps) - red dot, but the list is empty:

The same.

The same. Firstly: Next:

For now, I'm giving info what I hear, in 10 minutes I'll finish downloading the patch, so I'll find out for myself. Btw. I have full FC3 version, not separate modules. This is exactly how it should work, so it's just a bug I suppose. You are the owner of the FC3 license, currently you can no longer buy FC3 in the shop, but you have the rights to these modules, without the new ones from FC4.

The problem is apparently that Module manager no longer sees FC3 and nothing can be installed.

UPS @Flappie any solution? Personally I dont want FC4, I prefer full modules, however sometimes Im using FC3 models as well.

Im downloading still, probably I'll have the same info.

Not my screen, friend reported this after downloading Today's patch. He has FC3 and dont want to have FC4. DCS 2.9.6.57650 null This information is also not correct, it turns out that there is no access to FC3 at all, so not to 2 days but already from now.

Wow, great! Thank You! I hope not any STOPPERS inside !

DCS takes about 8.5-12 VRAM, with VRAM at 16 (for example 4080) it will not touch regular RAM memory, which will not improve performance, even if VRAM is too small and RAM is too much. In this configuration, if he has too little VRAM and too much RAM, he will not achieve anything. But we talk here about case 32 to 64. Will less quantity of RAM I agree, you have right. Generally, on microstutter, changing from 32 to 64 did absolutely nothing for me (December 2023), only unparking all the cores made DCS work perfectly (or quite perfectly ) now for me.

But what are you writing about it to me?

I know, it will be when it will be raedy but another week is near over and I still don't have my new map . I wonder if anything else will change and we'll get a patch this week. I still believe in it.

DCS does not use 32 RAM. If it has 32 RAM, it will be enough for DCS. The bottleneck here is the 3080 and his VRAM and the operation of processors on the MT version, especially if he has a series of 11, 12, 13 or 14. Gen.

Use OTT for this, not ODT. ODT doesnt remember all your settings.

It will give nothing for you and DCS. Better change a GPU and more VRAM. I changed 32 to 64 (with better speed as well) few months ago, was the same, howevere I noticed better effects in the other software like Photo Shop ect. For micro stutter try unpark all your cores (different topic in MT bug section, this solved all my stutters).
