Mine is not a screenshot but an image I stitched together from several screenshots after they released Cyprus.

The map itself seems to be the same. They just limited our ability to pan it in that direction for some reason. Here's your screenshot placed over the pre-2.9 map: Place a player-controlled aircraft near that edge of the map, select it on the F10 map and press this button:

Today's patch (2.9.0.46801) broke the RWY03 glideslope at Beirut.

17 > 30 fps means even Rio Gallegos was improved... just not quite enough. I'm sure it will be a much smoother experience with your GPU. As for me... well, I'm happy the map is useable once again. Not all-around enjoyable, but playable.

Did a very brief test with the new patch (2.9.0.46801). There are solid improvements around most cities, including Rio Grande and Ushuaia. Both at close distances (moderate fps gain) and far away from them (huge fps gain). However, there are still places that massively tank the performance. Namely, Rio Gallegos that barely gives me 30 fps. An improvement from 17 fps before the patch, sure, but still barely playable. And that's over the 100% empty map. So, while I truly appreciate the effort, I wouldn't call this problem completely solved just yet. P.S. Enabling or disabling DLSS showed no meaningful difference. All shader caches were cleared.

Yeah, you're right. Just checked, and these lines are in the common DCS scripts; nothing to do with Heatblur. In the Hornet, I never saw a readback that mentions the approach button, so that got me confused.

This probably belongs in Tomcat forum, as this custom readback has nothing to do with the Supercarrier.

Already reported and acknowledged:

This is correct for the 2020 or so Akrotiri we have in DCS: Current charts for comparison (TACAN was moved in place of the NDB):

Usually the way the wind in a mission is set up.

He said this in discord a few days ago:

Можно и не держать.

No, not really: better half of Jordan and like 95% of SA, including Tabuk, are outside of the detailed area. And you don't want a major airbase on the edge of said area, to avoid another Biggin Hill. The more airfields the merrier, of course. But expanding the already defined and budgeted detailed area is a huge step. It would probably be more suitable to a paid expansion a la Normandy 2.0, or to a midlife upgrade a la Cyprus if your map sells really well.

According to one of the devs, it's "DCS thing". They are aware, but no ETA for a fix.

(Hope this thread won't reignite the "gib fallon" drama )

Some quality of life updates (along with fixing the remaining issues) to squeeze a few extra bucks out of it? Like adding the new lighting to the PG map which had been considered finished as well.

Probably that ED has it canned. Seeing that this map hasn't been touched since 2021, he's not completely wrong.

Курсорными стрелками. Вот так, в общем: Стрелка/хатка вправо открывает подменю/выбирает пункт, стрелка/хатка влево - возвращает на предыдущий уровень/закрывает радиоменю. И не понадобится переделывать радиоменю с нуля, превращая это в нацпроект на десять лет.

Это записано в дорожной карте и входит в топ-10 самых востребованных фич:

Я бы еще от нормального мануала не отказался. В текущем, например, радиостанции вообще не описываются, а это не самая очевидная часть вертолета.

Да.

Начать можно с переделывания архаичного F-меню на что-то более вменяемое. Об этом здесь была двусторонняя дискуссия с разработчиками года два назад. Договорились до пульта управления звездолетом силой мысли и дискуссия затухла. Хотя я изначально предлагал просто добавить перемещение по этому меню хаткой/курсором.

Обычно после таких видео до релиза проходит пять-семь лет.

Так лучше?

Вот и вам для наглядности: Я банально поигрался с позицией камеры и фокусным расстоянием. Оставшиеся миллиметры можно списать на различия в геометрии кабины, аэродинамике и 80 футов высоты.
