As title says. In caucasus some trees are 30- 60 meters which is equivalent of the Pisa tower in Italy for example or 20 floor building. All the trees are oversized which is very annoying for low level heli flying. It kills the sense for speed, height etc.. also buildings and objects are much more hidden behind them than it should. In Normandy is a bit better but still most of the trees are between 20-40 meters which is still too high for that area.

That would be nice! Thanks, appreciate!

Is there somewhere a collection of the missions briefings ?

The lights stuff is on the ED side, it affects all modules. However, the ultra bright taxi light during day is on the Magnitude side.. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

I hope it's status is early access as it has so many things to be fixed for a final version... I Hope to see it one day with removed unrealistic features and armament, fixed ASP etc.. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

+1. MiG-21 is the most demanding module. Even tho it doesn't render big parts from the external model while in cockpit, which is very annoying.

Hi Alpen, Thanks for answer. I really don't know how I ended up with the impression that f-10 option is available, but I am happy it is not there :) as I said flew only once on the server but I follow it closely. I understand f-14 case and I agree. In fact, I am not interested to flying it itself, just to have somewhat legit iran-iraq representation as it is probably the one we can replicate best in dcs based on the theaters and frames we have, it was just a thought, nothing else. Yes, mig-29A with restricted "E" missiles would also fit in such scenario, so is the also upcoming mig-23. Another point for the question why this is ignored by the server admins and we don't have it yet. But this is just an idea for future not at all a criticism for what you have already :) How about having a mission or two without precision ground attackers so we can utilize a2g capabilities of f-5/l39/mig21 ? I know you still can, but it makes it sort of pointless when you can go with ka-50 or harrier and all it's sensors. I want to also put my 2 cents on the weather - I read on the thread that it is mostly clear due to visibility concerns but shitty cloudy/foggy weather should make it more interesting, mission has certain objective, one can use the weather as an advantage to achieve it, mission objective usually is not to find another fighter to have a dogfight but if it happens, well, clouds and weather are something you can't change irl and have to deal with it :) Thing also about the navigation and ils landing challenge in the bad weather, everyone can shoot missiles but let see how people will deal with mother nature ;) Anyway, thanks for running this server, I really appreciate all server admins and the effort you guys put. Hope to see you in the air soon :) EDIT: Damn, the new mission looks good, can't wait to try it!

I am not sure why I thought F-10 map was there, good to hear I was wrong and it is not. As for the f-14, I read most of the thread so I am aware for the current missions and I totally agree. I was saying for the future consideration of replicating iran-iraq war fighters in PG map.

Hi Alpenwolf, Your server looks very nice, thank you for running it. I flew only once but plan is to start using it more often once I find a f-5 wingman to practice and fly with. Also currently working on the Fishbet so I can be aware of it capabilities as well. I have a question tho - Do you consider removing own Icon from the F-10 map ? It is really braking the realism and removes the need of navigation skills from the pilots,which is a big part of flying. I can say as being part of 39th VFS, that in SQs Korea server, removing the F-10 map nav worked well. Another thing me personally don't like is the added too modern aircraft in the missions, like mystral, ka-50, harrier, a10a, I am not sure if su25T is included as well. Those have very accurate A2G capabilities in comparison to the main frames Tiger and fishbed and makes the use of them for A2G pointless. Also, do you consider adding a mission in PG map to kind a reproduce Iran-Iraq war ? We have plenty of birds matching this war and I am surprised it is ignored in the MP servers. We have F-5, 21, F-14A is coming, F-4 is coming, UH1, Mi-8, Su-25, l39 and all of them are pretty much matching the correct variants too. This all is just my 2cents. Thanks.

You can practice anything you wish but don't give wrong advises to new people like: "Any DCS aircraft capable of carrier landing will help to build the right skills. F5 is an ideal trainer in that respect," F-5 is anything but ideal for carrier landing practice as it is not a carrier capable aircraft. If one want to learn carrier landings with F/A-18 then the IDEAL trainer is.....F/A-18 and nothing else.

Yeah. I can live without so many VOs and deep story, but briefings become absolutely essential and missions themselves should be realistic. Those "Rambo" style doesn't fit DCS at all. Anyway @splash enjoy the campaign, I am sure there will be some good missions and the gained experience and stick hours is always good and worth the 5 bucks. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

It wasn't perfect with the old HDR rendering but it was definitely more usable. While DS looks prettier at certain time of the day, it definitely delivered more issues than it fixed. It is way more hardware demanding, lights broken, old modules look worst.. doesn't worth the small eye candy improvement. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Fix the lighting in general. Lights going through the cockpits, lights doesn't illuminate things and objects. Illumination rockets doesn't illuminate anything and so on... I can go forever. List is much much bigger. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

I have it, played only first 3 missions and haven't flown it more. Confirm there is no documentation aside the mission briefs inside dcs and they are not very detailed as well, I guess this is one of the reasons I stoped playing it as for me is annoying to use my gaming rig and VR to read briefings. I find medvedev 2 and deploypment waay better (at least comparing to the first 3 missions) however I doubt they will work in 2.5. If you look for something for KA-50, For 5 bucks it worth it, but the campaigns for some other modules for the same price are with much higher quality and details, baltic_fragon stuff for example. Check https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=152445 it is a good overview of what it is.

Up. Reported all around the forums, issue is for all modules all artificial lights since differed shading release. Not a single word from ED Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Attract casual players with more casual game "MAC" then motivate them to try the hardcore by giving them points. Pretty much plan to attract more people to spent money on DCS. I just hope ED will keep the main focus on the hardcore.

Agree, it was clear that DS will bring problems, but the frustrating is that ED left it half broken, removed the old rendering and started working on another projects.. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

I was also asking myself this question. DCS lacks a proper war theatre, PG map looks more like you will simulate fly Emirates airlines landing at Dubai rather than a countries in war with some destruction. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Same issue on ka-50, mi-8, gazelle, f-5. Haven't tested the rest but likely all modules affected since differed shading was released. And not only nav lights but all artificial lights in dcs. Reported in several forums, not even a "reported" tag anywhere by ED, just ignored. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Rshift+[ ] for changing pages. Works perfectly fine. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

They postponed it for 2019, was stated somewhere in the russian forums. So it can be 31 Dec 2019... But even as it is, it is still fun to fly and employ in missions. medvedev 2 campaign that comes with it was very good but I don't know if it works fine in 2.5. Other than that SP content is on the bad sides but In MP and with combination with CA it can be veery nice!

If you like attack helos, it is the only one we have and it is very capable during day time. I would say it worth it. Just hope they will really improve the 3D model inside and outside and not only the textures as it looks very outdated already...

:clap_2::clap_2::clap_2: Great news!
