It’not a « working » issue, it’s just linked on the used soil texture (orthophoto) who is not running well with the current DCS graphic model. It was already the case with the SA map and Kola just confirm this issue. Low level flights are nice above cities (who are well modeled) but above open fields it’s just horrific (caucasus redone + Bartek mod give a much more pleasant result).

The map is currently not usable for helo flights… Afghanistan will be released step by step and linked to the high-detailed level of development. Kola was to early released (why not the same option as AFG map ?) and has resulted of a lot of frustration amongt the community!! I really hope to see a lot of improvements, especially on the ground texture level in the next updates…

Nous attendons avec impatience l’arrivée du CH-47 et du OH-58 tous les 02 actuellement annoncés avant juillet… Notre organisation sera modifiée en conséquence Actuellement notre recrutement est essentiellement orienté vers le Ka-50 et le Mi-8….avis aux amateurs

For me, this teasing has zero interest. It makes you wonder if this isn't a teaser for the F-18 rather than for a map. I think that if ORBX's aim is to convince future buyers, they'll have to show something else... I'm in charge of a 40 members helicopter squadron and at the moment we're far from convinced... ORBX mentioned that there are certain limitations due to the current DCS graphics engine (there's no doubt some truth in that) but the Afghanistan map, for example, showed low-altitude screenshots that were much more convincing than what we've seen on Kola at the moment. We're hoping for a real map that could compete with or replace the Caucasus map, but at the moment I have major doubts... for a brand new product compared with the oldest DCS map. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that I'll be pleasantly surprised when the map comes out. In any case, I'll wait for the first feedback from users before confirming my purchase...

Soon.... I really hope that this map has a good level of modelling, especially at low altitudes for helo flights... after all, we're in 2024 and the helicopter world in DCS has evolved considerably. Screenshots with good luminosity at low altitude are pretty rare... which is why I've decided to wait and see what users have to say once the map is available before ordering it myself.

For sure, it was already asked for the UH and Mi-8! New infantry model, new transport helicopter...it's the good moment to add this capacity in DCS. For me it could be a real game changer for the helos in DCS.

Glad to have this kind of information. Would it be possible to get feedback linked on some of the improvements requested? Thanks in advance

I made more test and indeed the Mod is still functional. @Sr.If you have missing parts you have also to add this part :

After the last update I don’t see any visual difference differences with and whitout the mod…I will check again in a different area…

This mod doesn't seem to have worked since the "merged" version of DCS. Bartek, can you confirm this? Can we imagine a "corrective" update? Thxxxxx

Is somebody test this mod with the last update of DCS (merged DCS versions & update Syrian map) ? Thxxxxx

Pour vous donner une petite idée du planning passé et futur à la 06. Depuis la reprise en janvier c'est déjà 02 Inters (ECT-RFV et FOX3). Semaine prochaine c'est opération "Hungry Birds" A partir du mois de mars on débute une campagne d'un mois via Battleground DCS qui sera juste coupée par une troisième Inter avec un nouveau partenaire de jeux

so niiiiice...and quick! Thx a lot for this new bunch of screenshots

Please more screenshots with helos at low level I am already using your current mod (same for other RW pilots of my Virual Squadron) and for sure we are waiting for your next improvments who is just amazing. Caucasus map is reborn ! I hope that te coming Kola Peninsula map will be of the same quality at low altitude... otherwise you know what you'll have to do!

Petit aperçu de notre organisation actuelle... Vous pouvez toujours nous faire un petit coucou sur notre Discord et qui sait on regardera pour vous garder une place au chaud afin d'intégrer notre groupe

Hello @Barthek, any update foresseen in the future in order to have a full compatible mod with the 2.9. @Morpheuslink to correct the bug is no more available. Thxxxxx

News from ED : New units will be available in 2024 that will range from World War II to modern day. Each unit requires thousands of man-hours to create and will be provided as optional packs at their highest levels of detail. I understand that if I want the new 3D models I will have to pay for it, like for the WWII assets pack? This one shot will become a standard in DCS ? We're moving towards a game with two levels of modeling... What can be expext in the future ? You want a better vegetation : you have to pay for ? You want nice new buildings : you have to pay for ? Sorry, and this is my personal opinion, but if confirmed, I'm very disappointed by this kind of policy (even if I totally understand that ED need money to continue the development of our favourite simulation game).

For my part, I really hope to see a fix for flights on multiplayer servers, which are practically impossible to play since the arrival of 2.9. This major issue has been reported and ED has promised to fix it.... so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the case in this update.

Just an update of our current oranization. Enjoy!

MP. Net protocol up means ??

We're keeping our fingers crossed that the problems with the servers will be resolved quickly. At the moment, this is clearly a major issue for those who fly in virtual squadrons, and our unit is no exception...

Bonjour à tous, Si vous avez envie d'en savoir plus sur notre escadrille virtuelle, le 06th Multirole Helicopter Regiment, on vous propose de venir nous rejoindre le temps d'une soirée pour venir papoter, discuter, échanger et pourquoi pas voler avec nous sur un de nos serveur qui sera accessible pour la soirée. Pour ceux qui ne nous connaissent pas encore, nous volons sur tous les modules officiels Hélicos de DCS et nous disposons également d'une escadrille d'appui aérien sur A-10CII et AV-8B. On vous accueillera donc avec plaisir sur notre Discord le jeudi 30 Novembre à partir de 1900Hr : https://discord.gg/bzDJvQrnTQ Nous avions déjà organisé cela en 2022 et cela avait un beau succès donc on remet cela cette année. On espère vous voir nombreux alors qui sait à très bientôt...

My feeling and the feeling of most of the members of my squadron: ED good job well done! The 2.9 is a real game changer... especially for helicopters. As well as the improved performance and graphics quality, the downwashing and dust effect for the helicopters is just fantastic. There's no shortage of criticism when certain things don't work properly (and I'm not the last to do so), so it's perfectly normal to also say when the work is of a high standard, and clearly that's the case here. We're already looking forward to the rest... Thanks for the work!
