AND 'with mouse interactive control' .... sure seems like they tried hard to make up some bullet points No videos, nothing that showcases what the helo will be capable of for the EA release but just asking people to buy it. Sorry not this time ED.

Same. I don't know if ED care but we, their customers, have called it out repeatedly. There are loads of people calling out how barebone the helo is at launch and a fact is that we have seen how long it can take to get these features delivered... We are still waiting for the Apache FM to be corrected. I love that helo but man I've been waiting for a long time.

In the same boat. Want to buy it but not without seeing what is capable of. We were told there would be news in the week leading up to the patch and we are way past that by now. Sadly, feels very familiar from earlier releases where they get postponed for some weeks...

Another "soon..." update from the devs. I'll believe when I see it and not a second before. This map has been collecting dust for so long. Huge parts of the map is just emptiness while others appear to have random pieces of green fields that does not line up. Looking at the new screenshots of airfields it still shows this in places - it looks very unnatural. The map needs a huge amount of work. The focus so far appear to have been on the areas around the pyramids. Hope to see more than the city closeups for what is being updated.

No update in the patch...radio silence... all as usual. Polychop delivers

This is NOT how EA works.. Almost half a year ago, Jan 27, we got an update 'we will have an update soon' Sorry to sound grumpy but actions speak louder than words. I paid for this map June 2023 and am still waiting to see an update...

I feel let down to buy a map that is in EA when it takes weeks or months to get any reply from the devs and when they finally reply it is like ‘we are working on it’… there are zero updates for the map, what is it, six months or so since it first came out, I lost count. The map is far from anywhere to be completed.

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.
