Not sure yet. First I want to see more screenshots. Stacks of screenshots.

In the past numerous 3D model makers, modders and texture artists (not beginners) had public donation addresses but they received very few donations only for thier gorgeous works. This community not really thankful and rewarding. (ED knows it too) Most of the users do not even realize how much work is behind "small" things. Tells a lot that it looks ED do not want to "jeopardise" 2-3 thousands of coins on this project. --- Just saying ED also would start a crowdfounding campaing for any "doubtful" update or DCS facelift project. Even on their own forum or website.

Made by Avia TS perhaps? Just like Afghanistan, Corsica, Alabama, Ethiopia etc.?

Who? ED? "The F-16 had been scheduled to remain in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025. Its replacement was planned to be the F-35A variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, which is expected gradually begin replacing several multi-role aircraft among the program's member nations. However, due to delays in the F-35 program, all USAF F-16s will receive service life extension upgrades." So, maybe we will get it in DCS around 2030s or in the next century. :P

WOW :shocking: :thumbup: Mods or new maps? Look new maps to me. Perhaps Florida, Hawaii, Caribbean region? And that F-18? New model, old? New engine nozzles? Awesome! Reworked materials? New shaders perhaps?

If that happens, a lot of people will lose interest in DCS, IMO.

NTTR was actually 39.99 when i bought that, but don't let the facts get in the way :P

15$ for a few face lifted textures??? The full new NTTR map was 40$ only. :huh: Where is the coherence? Where is the proportionality?

What ED does not want to made by modders.

So, will this apply to all other (future) maps too? - and to all other serious non-texture mods too? Everything must go DLC?

What means DCS textures will no longer be moddable in the future. :huh: Except: through ED only.

Those are the same old cross-plane geometry trees. Only textures are new. Simple trees have got 2 planes, 4 triangles. Some ugly and jumbled tree use 4-6 planes what is 8-12 tris. Those are not the advanced trees what you can see on the NTTR map.

Honestly, why Starway ? Not against Starway but there are many well known names. Experienced, talented and "older" texture artists than Starway: Mizzy, Mustang, Rockwelder, GrandSurf, Ricardo, Toby23, B3OP, T@kER, RF13, NRG-Vampire's friend(s), Barthek, Lilkiki, T. Jacob, Dimitriov, Crazyeddie, Jack, GeorgeLKMT, PeterP, Highwayman-Ed, Tom_Weiss, Mainstay etc. Why this will be payware ? This should be the job of ED: to keep the base program and its textures up to date (for free), according to the expectations of PC graphics of the 21st century. Frankly, I don't understand why ED did not announce a contest to modders and to texture artist if the texture overhaul is important to them and to all of us.

Is that now with the new arabic tacnumbers what Rudel mentioned?

Yes ! Will be something secret thing? and do you wanna keep that yourself? :P

Yep, those rings are cones IRL. Ah, thanks :thumbup:

Yep, this week. Two more days.

Nice screenshots :thumbup: What kinda terrain texture and visibility range mods do you use ?

Still no available update ?

DCSW 2.5 :) That would be great :P

Morkva, would you mind correcting the rudder animation ? Rudder(s) is moving in the opposite direction than it should.

Really ? :D Hah, but why are white mountains in the distance ? :smilewink:

OMG :rolleyes: When will it be available ???

Will be ready tomorrow. :doh: Just like the F-16. :D
