Hi I have no words to say how I find the Germany cold war map awesome. This map is highly detailled and not only on the airfieds, heliports airports or military base but everywhere. But there's something essential missing from this profusion of detail: The life ! We can see campings with tents, caravans and legendary volkswagen Westphalia everywhere, we can see street of big towns empty of pedestrian life and it's as if a global pandemic has decimated humanity and it was the end of the world. ED, would you think that it would be the time to add various civilian characters as statics or walking in the ME to give life in your simulator, especially for this map ? And civilians aeronautical characters like civilian liners pilots or flight attendands and moving boarding brides would be welcome too. Dont' forget that you're selling helicopters too and that all your customers do not love to fly around mach one and high altitude at all times. I love flying in F-16 or F-18 but I love flying at low speed and altitude too and on the Germany map, in this case, life on the ground is cruelly missing. ED, remember what have done the succes of ORBX airports or airfields sceneries since years in Flight simulator. It's all these characters, humans or animals walking and giving life to these sceneries.

Ok, I havn't seen it has been already spotted.

Just a fix for that

It's the same. If you use an e-cb, that doesn't work. The way I had bought Germany is to use my son's card because he doesn't use e-cb like me but his real physical bank card.

See what I said here:

Hi Yesterday I've tried to buy Germany map by generating a e-cb as usual but my electronic bank card was rejected. I've opened a ticket to ED after having called my bank and my bank said to me that for them all was OK. But ED told me that it was a fault of my bank because for them all was OK and ED and my bank were rejected the fault on each other. In fact, listening the TV news, I've learned that this week-end, all the bank transactions in Europe are frozen until next tuesday. That's why the payment was rejected. So if you meet the same issue, you know why now

There's a long time that I tell that: This mod is one of the best mods ever done for DCS. It enhances sublimely the poor native weather of DCS. Once again bandit648: A big thank to you !

Hi Scoop I don't really understand when you say : "You will need to copy the texture zip from your Massun92 Humans texture folder into the mod texture folder I uploaded " Where is this mod texture folder you have uploaded you're talking about ? I've downloaded 2 zip files: -Massun92 Outpost Mod_V2.1 -Massun92-Humans Massun92-Assets old and I've unzipped them with 7-z as explained in this topic, but i don't find the files shown on your picture. Thanks !

All is in the title

HI I didn't find the answer on this topic but how to place other statics than planes or helicopters under the airbase hangars ? If I try to place vehicles or characters in the hangars, they're on the roof. If I put statics airplanes, they are inside. Thanks for help !

Since July that this post has been activated, we have seen a lot of update of DCS but nothing about that. And the worst is that if you create trigger zone with the excluding object trigger, the suddenly spawning boats aren't concerned and they still appearing suddenly. Many people are agree the Syrian map is the more beautiful map of DCS but it's really a shame to let this bug degrading a lot a such beautiful map. Hope that it will be fixed soon.

Hi Like the soldiers of the WWII asset pack, I would appreciate to use the carrier technicians and catapult operators as IA infantry with possibility to walk from one point to another on other place than carriers.

You know what, I'm giving up. That's exactly what I've already said and understand totally that you can't make every wish to comes true, especially if these wishes need too heavy times without money back in return and I'm agree totally with you for that. But if some of these wishes were very simple to realize with no need of time to realize them, I have difficulties to understand why you don't realize them. That's why I say that for me, this section of the forum is just here to give us the false feeling that ED is listening to us. Have a nice evening !

Yeah, you have mentionned it, I know. The problem is the number of years we had to wait for something you'll give us soon, surely ( I hope) in a better way than the mod of Bandit64 allows but a temporary solution similar to what he has done could have been the official ED temporary answer before what you'll give us in few times. I just hope that we will need'nt to wait too long until a day you will think that removing grass in a trigger zone is perhaps a good idea like ED just think recently that the multiselection of items with the copy-paste is a good idea wished by the community since years.

I understand totally that ED can't answer positively at all wishes. I understand that, like all the enterprises in the world, the goal of ED is to make money and that some of wishes here, particularly if these wishes needs time without money back. But, like I have highlighted by giving as exemple the amazing weather mod of Bandit64, some of the wishes could be easily granted and I think, perhaps wrongly, that the fact to remove grass in trigger zone is just more easy for a programmer team than greatly enhancing the weather like a single user has done for the community with just some lines in a lua file and that ED could have think to make this little file themselves in some minutes to please the wishes of the community wanting since years more options to set the weather than the poor options offered by default by ED until the next upgrade.

At least, your answer, Bignewy proofs that now you're aware of the request. Perhaps I'm wrong, as says dangerzone, that it's not a few lines to add to the code, but if I compare that with an other subject: since years, some customers have asked to ED a better management of the clouds and weather ( thickness, ceiling) and I know, the next update will include ( dare I say at long last) a big improvement of the weather and clouds. But since some months, an user has done a magnificent mod with just some code lines in a lua file ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335023/ ) and this litle mod allows us to have at last a more realistic and beautiful weather, with just some lines of a lua file. In brief, he did the job that ED should have done a long time ago . That's why I'm inclined to think that it would surely be the same to add the grass in the remove list of the removing action of objects and trees in the third board of triggers panel. But as I said previously, I'm not a dev, perhaps that for the grass it's less easier and more time-eater, I don't know. An other exemple too and as you can see, i'm french and on a french forum, we can read the reactions saying "at last !" about the multiselection of objects for copying-pasting coming in the next update and asked by many people since long long years. You're understand now why we have often the feeling that this section of the forum is like the red button on the traffic-lights pole, for the pedestrians, giving them the false feeling that the traffic light will turn red for the cars, sooner that if nobody has pressed, when in fact, it doesn't set out to do anything.

I know, we had this discussion but nothing about happened from ED.

I admit that some of the threads here are impossible to do or too time-eater to realize. But since you have included in the ME the capacity to edit the trigger zones and ajusting them as polygons, me and many others have asked that the action of disappearance of the grass could be included the triggers disappearance of trees or objects in the third part of the trigger board. And I'm sure that it's just only some lines of programming code to modify or to add. We can have official or unofficial hangars and it's very unrealistic to see static planes parked in them with their wheels hidden by a high grass. ED, please, add a lawnmower in the triggers. You can say, in other way that it's possible to remove the grass in the graphic settings. But your grass is very well done and it would be a shame to remove it everywhere, just defined zones would be perfect.

Ah Ok but they surely know because no problem of this kind with the Ben Gurion airport of the Sinaï map. I presume that each devellopers enterprise knows the work of their rivals.

I don't understand your message Draconus. Why are you showing me real satellite pictures of Ben Guryon airport ? I know that it's an international airport, the biggest civilian airport of Israël state. My message is precisely about the fact that we can't place this kind of planes as IA (except start on runway, aligned with engines ON ) on the parkings of Ben Guryon airport.

So I've tried with IL-76 and with B-52H which are official ED IA planes and it's the same: Impossible to place them as start from parking on Ben Gurion Airport. So, it's useless to enhance a map ( the best map for DCS I must say) and its airports, if we haven't possibility to place the planes made for these airports, officlal planes or third-part mods.

I'll try to place official heavies, just to see. I'll tell you next.

Hi I wanted to create a civilian liners trafic starting at Ben Gurion and it's impossible to put larger AI airplanes than A320 or B727 on the parking. If you try, the heavier liners than these, are automaticatly sent on Tel Nof parking . On the Ben Gurion airport of Sinai map, no problem with that, all planes are accepted. ED could you fix that please ?
