I suspect the issue is that Kneeboards are not implemented yet for the map, but if you add them to an Aircraft it will work. My understanding is DCS uses the Aircraft Kneeboards then the theatre then the Mission or vice versa. We've used the same file type/export process happily for missions on PG and Syria for Multiplayer so I dont believe its the file format.

I havent seen a definitive explanation on this, but I understand the number of objects on a Map as total influences the minimum RAM requirement so there are several comments along the way about areas not being added to NTTR or PG because it would push the minimum RAM requirement over the 8GB min spec. So I have been amazed at how much has been delivered with Syria for that fact alone, but leaving it aside most computer programs work of Arrays and multiples of 2, so 32 airfields as was the case for PG is 2^5=32. That in mind it would have been reasonable to assume the engine only allowed for 32 fields but here was are with 33, so clearly, not, but you would expect there is an upper limit somewhere. At the same time its not unreasonable to speculate if the table does allow for 33 fields max that it could be modified to handle more. Having visited all 33 fields in the last few days I have been fairly impressed with the diversity and completeness of them all even if a Few of the Syrian fields are a little sparse (Though I believe this reflects how they are in real life. ) I dont have any baseline for this just speculating on what I have read and the comments around Cyprus. I'd be really interested in how the engine works if anyone from ED has a comment? I also know that while a lot of people are agitating for Akrotiri. Theres a similar number suggesting you need Cyprus in total. I dont know the area and cant really comment, beyond there seems to be 9-10 airfields there, I've found 9 in my research but it does look like theres a 10th on the High Res Map Asherao published, so it is a big jump. But would similarly be an awesome addition and would be in keeping with the kinda theme of this map of being quite large but having little self contained combat zones so it would be nice to see it modelled properly.

It may be worth trying if it works as a JPG. I have heard this recently but we have been running the PNG's successfully on our server and personally I use them on an IPAD so I havent noticed an issue. If they need to be JPG I can convert.

I have to admit I am wondering what the engine limitations currently are for number of airfields. We have 33 towered airfields in game at present by my count which is more than any other map. Leaving aside the hard ceiling on the RAM thats created by the way it currently works I was wondering how they could possibly get 9 more fields for Cyprus in without some sort of change, so this could possibly be related to that?

lol yes thats not the one I was looking at :)

Per your feedback I have increased all fonts by 1pt on the diagrams and changed the parking/taxi from 6pt to 8pt Bold to improve readability. Please call out any text overruns I have missed when reviewing.

File now on DCS User Files HERE

Thanks for the feedback, I tend to use them on the ipad myself so I miss some of the on screen specifics I will knock the font up one for the next version.

The last 12 airfields are complete and the initial release is uploaded to the Userfiles section, I have attached the NVG version below for completeness. This covers 05. OSAP ALEPPO INTL. 06. OS66 KUWEIRES AB. 07. OS62 JIRAH AB. 08. AG3611 TAFTANAZ HELIPT. 09. OS57 ABU AL-DUHUR AB. 10. OS59 TABQA AB. 11. OSLK BASSEL AL-ASSAD (KHMEIMIM) 12. OS58 HAMA AB. 13. OS70 AL QUSAYR AB. 14. OSPR PALYMYRA AIRPORT 15. OS64 AN NASIRIYAH AB. 16. OS61 AL-DUMAYR AB. I have also added a draft slide for an Enroute Chart though I am still playing with that. I will update the first post when the file is approved. Thanks to Ugra and Eagle dynamics for the best map in the game and something I think we will all be flying for the next few years.

nevermind, found it, cool, theres nothing stopping you using it as a FARP, but yeah its not a "field", compared to the other heliports though it is pretty small

map reference?

I recently went from a 27" 1080p to a 32" 1440p. I have a 1660ti in my laptop. I lost maybe 5-10 FPS in the process, but I find I can now see the tanker @ 10 NM, and spot a lot of stuff I was missing plus the MFDs are now readable without zooming in. Personally I would suggest 1080p @ 32 will be wasted but if you can get a screen that will support 1440p, when you do get there you will get a big benefit from it. My specs in my sig and the monitor spec if you are interested.

MINAKH, Rather a heliport more than an airbase.
