Definitely could use a solid update.

This thread can probably be marked as resolved now.

Per maestr0s earlier response the northeast Euphrates region is the next step for them. There are also plans to include deir-ezzor

Great work Ugra. You've achieved something well worth to be proud of. Great work on the improved water too! Definitely hands down the standout DCS map. I look forward to any further improvements you bring, will definitely buy a few more copies for friends

While some improvements could still be made to some shallow river areas (particularly Euphrates near Raqqa), overall this bug has been fixed in the latest release of DCS (2.7.2). I believe this thread can be marked as 'resolved' now.

Resolved in DCS 2.7.2. Well done Ugra! Thread can now be marked as "resolved".

While some improvements could still be made to some shallow rivers (particularly Euphrates near Raqqa), overall this bug has been fixed in the latest release of DCS (2.7.2). Well done Ugra, it is a fantastic upgrade to the visual fidelity of the Syria map! Coastlines and lakes in particularly look great now! I believe this thread can be marked as 'resolved' now.

Based on todays video, it looks like the water issue is resolved completly! Excellent news for Syria map users.

Interestingly enough, bug does not seem present for me currently regarding tree removal. See thread for updates: You might have some luck with the sceneryRemoveObject trigger zone after all. Try the example mission I linked previously.

Huh, I'm actually so confused right now. The mission is now working as expected for me, with appropriate removal of trees. Interestingly enough, I seem to be able to reload mission with no issues, with trees still removed correctly. I am even able to change the trigger zone, with removal of trees appropriately getting adjusted. This is a really odd bug, I wonder why it wasn't working earlier. Will do further testing.

Did you use the above linked mission?

No, not the case in my testing. See above mission, trees will remain present even if run as first mission.

Here is a link to how it should be set up (though it currently does not work until this bug is fixed). Hopefully will be fixed sometime soon.

This issue is still present on the current open beta (DCS 2.7.1.7139 Open Beta). Example mission attached illustrating this issue. It would be nice if this currently broken feature could be fixed. Per BN on discord Ugra is aware of the issue, but it seems to have gone by the wayside since the release of Syria nearly a year ago, so it is probably time to give it some attention. I also note this thread is still lacking the "reported" tag as well. Many thanks. PatriotSite.miz

Actually scratch that, sceneryRemoveObject is currently still broken in Syria.

You can use the sceneryRemoveObject trigger to remove trees from zones btw, so works as a temporary solution for you at least.

Fair enough - I do think if you find the time the mission would be worth a slight rebranding under a different name, because it is a well made mission with a fun and interesting premise that plays well in multiplayer too. However, I appreciate your frustration at the moment, and that likely you are not in the mood to address this currently. I do hope you reconsider after some time, you are a talented mission editor and I do think the mission itself is quite good. Thanks for taking the time and effort to see the comments from a different perspective. I wish you all the best of luck for the future.

Very useful, please keep up your work, it forms a great base for missions with so many areas prefilled

I appreciate that you put a lot of work into your mission, and that it feels like people are being toxic for pointing out 'minor' things like a title. However, keep in mind that titles are in part what sets up expectation - e.g. you wouldn't call a chocolate muffin a chocolate muffin unless it tastes of or contains chocolate. Similarly, people are upset when they see a very nicely presented mission (e.g. your mission, which had a well made teaser trailer) with a title of a very well known air campaign, and then find out immediately when reading the description or trying the mission that it has nothing to do with said air campaign. Keep in mind that the majority of the user base has some interest in military aviation (or of an age group where they recall the Gulf War from real life), and is therefore familiar with that subject matter. Naturally, people feel mislead when they find out it has nothing to do with what they expected from the title, just like someone would be upset when they buy a chocolate muffin and find out it actually is a strawberry muffin. Nothing wrong with a good strawberry muffin, but it is not the chocolate muffin that was expected from the name, and is therefore not what you expected to have once you've taken a bite. Consider for a change that people pointing out that this strawberry muffin should not be called a chocolate muffin, isn't people being rude, but are rather trying to give feedback so the name is changed to something more fitting for the product. This is analogous to what people have been commenting with the title of your video - it may feel rude to you, but try and see it from the perspective of other people. On a side note, you are aware that the first image they see in your description is the following, right? How do you not expect people to feel mislead when it literally referring to the historical ODS?

If 90% of the comments are the same, it's probably because there is some truth to it.

Ok bye. There is no way to downvote your content on the forum so not sure what you are on about. Also not sure why you are generalizing the whole community as "this sim/game is real life", because that's not true. There are many different people who enjoy DCS for different things, including many I'm sure that enjoy the mission you made. My comment was meant to only point out how naming your mission after a very famous and well known air campaign is misleading people into thinking the mission is about that, and so naturally sets up a false expectation for what the content is. I'm merely suggesting to pick a name that is not already so heavily associated with a real world event. None of my comment was intended as bagging on the quality of effort you put into making the mission, as a mission maker myself I understand the amount of unseen work that goes into it. If you decide to remain defensive and and attack the community for the above feedback than that's your choice, but believe me it was given in good faith.

Why oh why did you name it after one of the most recognizable air campaigns in History, when it literally has nothing to do with it? Super misleading, you could have literally called in almost anything else.

Thank you for giving us a preview. I look forward to seeing how the end result turn out. Thanks for listening and responding to the community feedback, I think this improvement in the water will make a really big difference to the overall quality of the map. Good work!

@BIGNEWY why is this moved to wishlist? It belongs in the Forums/Syria section, not in wishlists.

Layers of these kind are global on a per map basis in DCS, so would affect all forest regions including on the mainland in Syria/Turkey/etc
