Are any updates still planned for 2024 for Sinai?

Soooo.... no updates in the latest patch. What a shame.... I hope we one day will see it updated and that it isn't abandoned.

@Morpheus does this zip file contain all textures required for the map or is it a delta?

Will we see any updates for the map in the next patch for Christmas?

I could be wrong but didn't Wags say that the FCR would not be ready for the patch but 'very soon' after it? I may see if I can find it. Update - found it. "We also understand that many of you are looking forward to the Fire Control Radar, or FCR, for the AH-64D. This is being done in parallel by our radar team, and they are making great progress. In fact, I’m sure most of you have noticed the previews. While it is not planned for the 2.9 update, it will not be long after it. We will first release it with Ground Target Mode, or GTM, and this will allow you to detect, track, and engage units. It will also tie into datalink capabilities of sending and receiving Priority Fire Zones and No Fire Zones between Primary members." Coming from this YT video:

I keep seeing jets having two tails not being able to enter or leave some of the hangars.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/symbolic-links It's a way to make 'shortcuts' for your folders/files. Say your C drive is getting full you can make a symbolic link to another drive and move the files there physically. Now windows will not know the difference when accessing the files on the C drive that they are actually on a different drive.

I got a similar issue in the F-15E. I it can be either the right or the left half of the screen that occasionally has a black flash every 10 sec or so sometimes when in the cockpit view. I have never experienced this in any other module.

Both if possible

Sorry if this has been covered already, but any idea about the memory consumption for the map? Will it be similar or more than Syria given the new map tech you guys are supposedly using?

Try and run your Normandy map. You should be able to see London and Paris on your map. Then you can either try and fly there or use CRTL+F11 and go there to view them to verify you got the latest version. For me I got the DCS update today and then I got a huge patch downloaded - prior to buying the map. I bought the map and no download happened. So you should have gotten the map already via the latest patch. I hope this helps

I can hear @Maestroburst out... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I think a previous post mention it causes CTDs, though I don't recall ever having had any issues with the mod.

Agree it is very slow. Even with that long list of changes like 90%+ are fixes and some of the few 'added' are things like liveries, patches on pilots, etc.

Most places use branches to handle their dev and main builds. It sounds very odd that a company would not have a main branch that can be used if defects are found to fix these quickly instead of only use a single dev branch... very unusual for any dev company if this is how they work.

Too busy to add a few lines supposedly? @Maestro - perhaps worth drumming up some support in hoggit for asking ED for some support that 3rd party maps needs to bring the most basic things to be accepted going forward.

Let me clarify as i can see how it may sound like doubling the GPU power was the root cause ... I reduced the texture setting to medium using my 3080 and that removed the 100% GPU load. Hence I could see that the texture sizes were likely the culprit in the issue and possibly the reason was swapping textures in/out of the VRAM. Upgrading the GPU let me use high settings for textures again.

It's playable, thought it does use more VRAM and the cockpit view require some optimisation as it's a bit heavy on the fps these days. I found in a couple of missions that it uses more than 10GB and if your GPU doesn't have more than that the fps will tank. After I upgraded my GPU it helped a lot with this.

Also just came across this. Keen to increase the draw distance for cities in Syria as it is currently extremely short (just load up the F-16 free flight and zoom into the city coming up in the beginning - hardly any buildings rendering there). If not the full file, is it possible to paste here what lines needs to be updated? Does the changes have to be done in the main program folders or in the saved games folder? Thanks

I'm sorry but I must say I completely disagree. The AI units are very static and hardly any reaction to be shot at. They can shoot at airplanes/helos with razer sharp precision that completely kills the immersion. Get the AI units to go between a few houses and you are practically guaranteed that one or more will get stuck in a house or in the small piles of rubbish that are next to them. I am not looking for drivable vehicles with the internals represented or a 1st person shooter. I just wish to simply have the AI to react a bit more as to 'feel alive' a bit.

Not sure I'm the only one with this problem, but I see the new blue 'download here' text but can't see it is a real link.

I suggest to follow this thread here...

Can have the downlink back again if the new version is still not ready soon?

And have a a look here as there seem to be a new bug since the last OB and now you will hear it almost all the time...
