a moment of silence lads....

someone call waaagggssss

legit laughed out loud at this lmao

3 hours for me

do we get the carrier aswell ?

interdasting....

its early access you'll need the open beta

ahah he didnt say what he wanted us to say Hurray for...I just wanted to save his f5 button some abuse

PG map dropped around 12pm zulu time am i right ? can we expect the same here ?

Hurray!!

what is the normal release time?

interesting....worked in the mig29 and su27 for me. i thought they put it in for all aircraft. guess not

i mean even the soldiers in DCS are just listed as the insurgent. I hope this will change. we need Iranian assets

so will we eventually see Persian missiles being added in, such as the anti ship sunburns russia sold iran, or just irans extensive missile arsenal? I know these missiles are obvs classified but some mock Iranian missiles? I just want to simulate an all out war and its hard to do when Iran has basically no assets. is this stuff in the works at all or is it just wishful thinking?

I just edited the country.lua and added the saudi f15 myself. decent fix until they do it officially. also made the saudi skin myself. just couldnt wait to engage some saudi f15s

thanks for the reply's guys. i also noticed they added the rain drops effects to all planes and that also wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. they also didn't mention the new smoke effects.

so when we had to update DCS prior to downloading PG map, what exactly did the update change? I can't seem to find the change log for the update, I know we got new smoke textures but theres no way that was the entire 8gig update, what else changed ? does anyone know ? or can anyone link me to a change log?

not really sure what youre asking, are you expecting these to be on the map already? cuz if so theyre not. you have to add them yourself via mission editor. or are you asking where are these sites in real life so you can add them into the map in a realistic fashion in which case i'd say...those are most deff classified on both the UAE and Iran side for obvs reasons, and probably changing on the regular so i'm not sure you can get an answer on that.

update and PG map about 6-7 hours

I added them just to see what the new smoke textures were. as wags had mentioned in the streams they had new textures

im not sure I havent bombed anything yet. these are found in the static objects in the mission editor under effects

The new smoke textures look absolutely incredible and they dont seem to cause any FPS problems as you fly close to the smoke. the old textures use to drop my frames to like 10 if I got close to them. (especially if there was a lot of smoke in the area) not the case this time around. Allows for some amazing immersion making an area look like its already been pounded long before you even arrive in the AO. Usually when I buy a game or something I regret paying for it later cuz almost always its a let down, but man am i happy i found DCS and i'm a huge supporter and this map just reminded me why I love this sim. well done and huge thank you to everyone who worked on this great map.
