Beirut

Always with the negative waves... Think about how much fun it could be.

The honour is to serve.

This is ED's drumroll part of the equation. Gotta wait for the "Ta-Dah!"

We need nukes! We have to protect our precious bodily fluids.

Great to see the SA map getting more love. Defintely one of my favourites.

I was thinking of a back asswards look from a plane to the plane chasing it real close and Swift's "Shake it off" playing. It's the only song of hers I know.

Pretty sure they'll use a Taylor Swift song this time.

Nukes? Yes please.

Yeah, that's a bummer. On the plus side, the plane is a ton of fun.

To be the contrarian to your contrarian, pretty pictures has a lot to do with why I fly DCS. It's 2024 and I want all the next-level eye candy I can get.

Amen! I think the Phantom is the big one this year. Shows DCS is clearly (still) the best for high-tech flightsim goodness.

Pre-Xmas.

Yeah, I'm happy to shell out a few bucks to bring some of the older models up to date. Love to see 4x Sidewinders on the F5 but that might not be realistic. Oh well.

Good stuff! As long as the F5 remaster is top shelf, I'm happy to pay for it.

Very cool! Thank you.

Love the map and love ORBX, but these should be available here and not require an ORBX account on their site.

Ahh, my old friend. When you write to me in triplicate it shows you still care.

Not trying to be (too) argumentative, but I thought the clouds were a massive! improvement. Those old cotton balls did little to make you feel like you were flying. The new clouds were astonishingly better, giving a much much better feeling of flight and ability to enjoy the sim beyond the technical/functional aspects. Excellent eye candy has a lot to do with the sim. It complements the technical fidelity of the planes. We don't want just technical fidelity with a sim that looks like it's 20 years old, nor do we want a bubble game for the brain sim where an FC3 plane is the height of its technical prowess. A good sim, certainly in 2024, shouldn't be just an intellectual exercise like playing chess. It has to have good eye candy, It has to look cool and immersive. ED had done a good job with the balance I think. And I'm all in for the new fog.

Great video. Thank you.

Any colour you like. Can't wait to fart around with the lighting and the fog and get that perfect tasty sunrise.

Don't assume my pigmentation. No. I specifically asked for a minimum of 10,000 development hours. I admit to being disappointed at the reduced workload. Notwithstanding that, I remain very pleased to see the new fog effect implemented.

I did.

Give me my F-104! Please.

The Kola map is looking great! Love seeing these updates.

I'll have to take your word for it. Haven't done the MP thing in many a moon.
