Yes this right here. By the time steam gets the PG map it won't be new to other players. I would really like to experience the new stuff with everyone else. What do they need to fix on the Persian Gulf map before they release it? Is it all messed up or something?

I guess it's pretty cool. It works in the F15C. On my system they disappear pretty quickly when you start to take off. They look amazing for the brief period I can see them. This feature only seems to work when I'm going slow at the airport, so it's really useless eyecandy. I'm uisng a 1060 6GB card and playing in VR. Do 1070, 1080 and 1080ti cards show the rain effects the entire time the plane is in flight?

Yes The policy sucks, they should be able to take your steam receipt as proof. I'd switch to Stand Alone but I already bought NTTR and Normandy+WW2 Assetts. I'm not throwing away $90. I want to keep those and I want to ad Persian Gulf. Do they even remotely have an ETA for PG release on steam?

What exactly is the bullseye for? I just play this as a video game, I don't really get into the study sim side. But what is a bullseye for and what are we supposed to do with it? I always saw them, but I never knew what they were for.

Does it not work on a 1060 6gb? I have that card and NTTR and Normandy both average 45 FPS for me, is the PG map going to be worse than those two maps on a 1060 6 gb? Does your 1070 not play the map well?

Hopefully they stay up, Normandy and NTTR are hardly used at all, probably because they're not free and require purchase. By the time it's released on steam if it's EVER released these servers will probably have switched back to Caucusus.

There's a guy on the DCS VR Aviators group on facebook that used to fly the area and has the longitude/latitude locations of several real life sam sites. He said the iranians used to turn their equipment on just to track him when he would fly by. He's going to release kindle books on Amazon about missions that may be interesting for mission authors in this game.

They did state that they do not release on steam until they feel they are confident in the modules and maps because they do not want negative reviews on steam, but they didn't say they were afraid of getting negative reviews. That is completely understandable considering it could directly effect sales and steam would provide a great deal of revenue for them. This was in the steam forums earlier this week.

Thanks for the attempt to help. I'm just frustrated that I can't use this right now because the servers I use are now all on the PG map. I'd rather vent than ask them since I know their policy and I have the two maps that can't be moved.

The only things I have that officially are non transferrable should be the maps, but that's still $90 worth of content I'm not just willing to give up because I certainly wouldn't buy them again, nobody plays the damn maps, but I still like making my own things on them in ME. It is fair to place blame on ED. Steam is not the one saying "You can't release the PG map" ED is afraid of negative feedback or bad reviews (And I understand this, steam is the Ebay/Amazon of the developer world. I.E. A sales channel with volume they couldn't hope to achieve on their own in their wildest dreams) ED is also given a blank slate to work with by steam, so they can write their own announcements, such as "Here are the differences between steam and stand alone" Steam could also help by putting that information up. I'll end up having to wait it out. I imagine the release of the F18 is going to be frustrating when all the stand alone people are shooting you down with an f18 and you probably have to wait months before you can even buy it and they'll all be bad ass with it and you'll be terrible. Anyway, what are your guesses as to when the map will be available on steam? My guess is a month if not longer.

Hey Eagle Dynamics, can I switch my maps from steam to stand alone? I am pissed off that I purchased through steam only to find out everything comes out later if at all over there. I can't play MP anywhere because everyone switched to the PG map and I can't even pay for it on steam. I see no benefit to steam at all, you absolutely should put something on steam that says "New releases don't come out at the same time as stand alone and could take weeks, months or years to come out here" I find out after the fact that certain things are not transferrable because the information was not made available on the original sales channel that even brought DCS to my attention. I was mislead by omission of information. Are you willing to allow me to transfer my modules and maps over to stand alone? I purchased on steam and have proof of purchase. I own FC3, A10c, Combined arms, F15: red Flag, F15:Georgian War, NTTR Map and Normandy Map. If you will not, I INSIST you put a disclaimer up on steam informing potential buyers that they get access to MORE content and FASTER via stand alone vs steam. It is unfair to not inform your customer of the options available to them.

This is getting a lot of praise, there are alot of servers running PG. When are we going to get this on steam?! Hurry up and release it there already so everyone that spent money on your DLC can play this damn game. If I had known in the beginning that there would be compatibility issues and different release dates for content, I never would have wasted money on the maps on Steam because I can't transfer them and I refuse to re-buy them just to switch to stand alone. At the VERY LEAST give us an expected ETA so we have an idea. Is it days? Is it going to be weeks? Is it going to be years? (That's legit for the F18, will it be years?!). Can you at least give us an idea of when it might become available? Please dont say "I've heard nothing yet". That's no answer.

Ok Eagle Dynamics, apparently you are concerned with negative feedback on steam and this is why you wait to release something. This is getting nothing but praise here, so release it on steam already!!!!

I believe Normandy and NTTR suffer from what PG will suffer from. Cheap bastards not buying maps. So many people want free stuff, they just won't pay for some things like maps. Did your friends not play Normandy and NTTR because they didn't like them, or was there a good portion that didn't want to spend the money on the maps because well... Caucuses is good enough and $40 is a lot of money to spend on terrain you most likely won't be paying much attention to. All it takes is one glance at server population and you can clearly see that Caucuses is populated and NTTR or Normandy consistantly have one thing in common. 1/25 players, or 1/12 players, or 1/2 players or 1/10 players. NOBODY is playing the maps on the few servers that run them. I simply think the majority of people that play this game are not buying the maps at all. Those of us here that get excited when the new maps come out do not represent the majority of players IMHO. Edit: Or perhaps not, I just checked the servers and most of them are on PG map, even the ones I usually play on. Come on ED, get this damn map out on steam so we can play this game!!! How much testing needs to be done before you can release it on steam?! This is ridiculous. Maybe PG is popular because it's actually relevent to current events. NTTR and Normandy are dead just as would be expected.

NVM I just saw your discord. You are quick on this! I'll get the Single player as soon as it's available.

This is for Deadlyfishes; Did you get the new Persian Gulf Map? If you did are you going to make your through the inferno mission for it as well? I have every single one you've made with all the updates and I'd love to get one for this map as well.

It'll probably take forever. We'll probably get this and F18 in a year.

Recently on about 5/14/2018 ED posted an add in russian looking for an experienced RTS developer. Is Eagle Dynamics planning on hiring that party on to work on Dynamic campaigns or improvements to the Mission Editor?

I like this server but I get my ass kicked so fast. It's like there are people that spend every waking moment of their lives on these servers. I'm shot down for the 3rd time and I'm forced to find something else to do, it happens so quickly I stopped playing on this server. I have to get much better before I come back.

They disappeared from your list because the tendency is for everyone to update to the Beta even if ED would prefer they not do so. Switch to beta and you'll find all the servers.

Will we be able to get the $10 off on steam since it won't even be released at the same time and I've already purchased non transferrable items on steams version.

Yes please someone tell us how to use this with steam. I have the asset pack also and the missions say I don't have it installed. I'm also using the beta.

NVM, I didn't realize it was an archive that had two different versions of the mission inside. Great work as usual, I love this mission.

What am I doing wrong? All the previous releases show up in DCS but this one doesn't. The others end in an extension of .MIZ and this one is a .ZIP file. I changed the extension to .MIZ in dos and that makes it show up in DCS. But I can't load this in either the mission editor or as a mission. If I try, DCS goes to the loading screen, but task manager shows no disk activity so it never does anything, it just freezes and I have to force close it through end task. It also has no information under description when you select it in DCS. I don't think it is seeing this as the right file type so it doesn't know what to do. How do I get this to work?

Did you go to options and check the gameplay tab? There's an option there that will over ride your mission options if it's checked. Maybe that's what's causing this. Here is a screenshot:
