This work perfectly in other mods (F/A 18C, F86, FW190) so that must me an Aerges issue.

Hello Ugra Team. I finally installed Cold War map... You really did an amazing job for a non orthophoto based scenery. No feeling of texture repetition, and it's perfectly smooth in VR . Ok the greens are maybe a bit too saturated, but it might be an EDGE issue as they are ok when seen from altitude (same for the red of some roofs). I have the feeling that this map will give us thousand of hours of pleasure ! Thank you Ugra (and pleaaaase consider adding one or two french airbases in the updates )

I thought that the streets and roads were based on OSM database. Or maybe they had it over simplified for performance
-
Not mentioning Nancy and Luxeuil, which seem to drop in the phase 3 perimeter ! Please Ugra, pleaaaaaaaase !

This map is a real masterpiece regarding the way cities are rendered, as weel as communication lines, forest... But, IMHO, Ugra could do some additional work on countryside textures. green is a bit saturated, and brown fields seem to all have the same tint. Some more extra textures (not hundreds but let say a dozen) would be of great benefit, and I don't think the extra diskspace would be an issue. Anyway, great job Ugra !

From yesterday newsletter : As we prepare to release the second part of the Afghanistan map, the entire project will benefit from an expanded main map area, albeit at a lower fidelity, to support aircraft carrier operations, catering to you, our most dedicated enthusiasts. Thank you ED for changing your mind about carrier ops in Afghan map !!!!

Syria map is a wonderful playground for DCS, thanks Ugra for all the updates and enhancements Having said that, is there a reason/limitiation why the goals on football fields are way too big (around 5x bigger than they should be in real life) ? It breaks the immersion a bit when I land a chopper on one of those, especially in VR

Setting F-16 Cockpit Knobs in Mission Editor
flyingcyrus replied to mkel2010's topic in Mission Editor
Thanks for posting this, I didn't even know that switches could be set via ME ! By the way, I agree that pre-setting the knobs as well would be nice, as the HUD brightness is systematically at maximum, which is silly... -
Lost throttle binding on F-16C, but it's the only issue so far... And about Halfghanistan, HEEELLLLLLL YEAAAAAAAA !!!! Now we got a terrain that does not look cartoonish ! Generic textures are overall well integrated with aerial imagery, this is huge

2.9.6, Normandy 1944 map included ???
flyingcyrus replied to flyingcyrus's topic in Bugs and Problems
To late, it's gone -
Hi ! Just updated to 2.9.6, and browsing the new launcher to install my pre ordered Halfghanistan map, I see that I can install Normandy 1944 as well ! The thing is I never purchased this map. Is it now included as default in DCS ? null

Because you expect the devs to work during weekends ?

Hi ! Airport lights could be improved in DCS. Raal world runway lights are (bi)directionnal. You see them much better when on axis, and they become almost invisible when you're abeam (or well above) the airfield (MSFS is pretty good at it). In addition, they look too large in the sim. Actually, they look the same as in night cockpit videos, which does not reflect reality (due to camera sensor gain). Unless in a high humidity or dust ratio, there's virtually no "halo" around these lights. Thanks

15Yr Anniversary Q&A: Answering 'Performance' in DCS
flyingcyrus replied to [ED] Makr's topic in DCS 2.9
Just to be sure... SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality are runtimes, not API. OpenXR (Khronos Group) and OpenVR (Steam) are the API. SteamVR can handle OpenVR (default) and OpenXR if you select it in the settings. Windows Mixed Reality can only handle OpenXR directly. Best result, for me, is the couple SteamVR/OpenXR. Image quality is the same (and set up via the OpenXR Toolkit), I check with screenshots in each combo.
