Dyk Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I would like to ask, if there is any possibility for Crimean peninsula to be implemented in DCS Caucasus map again? I guess it has a great potential since the natural division of the map by Kerch makes good sense in both MP and SP missions. I would be grateful for any official statement here. 2 My skins on DCS User Files, Enjoy! ________________________________ FC3, Mi-8, UH-1, CA, L-39, AV-8B, F-14

rrohde Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 +1 I could have sworn I read on the Russian forums (via Google translation) that either ED - or some 3rd party (I forget) were working towards including the Crimea map with EDGE at some point.

Dami Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I would also like to see Crimea back again very much. As far as I remember, there were some legal issues with Ubisoft about that map, and ED couldn't use it after Lock On series. Hope someday they will find a way, though. 1 Gigabyte Z97X SLI i5 4670K OC + СoolerMaster 212 Evo inno3D GTX980 iChill 16 GB RAM OCZ Vector 128 GB SSD + 3TB Seagate HDD M-Audio 2496 Audiophile Pimax 4K HMD Self-made air mouse controller VKB Cobra Z (BRD Mod) Gametrix ECS; VKB T-Rudder Custom Mjoy 16 switch panel Wireless Inertial Tracker + Opentrack

I guess the solution is to build it from scratch then. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com
xaoslaad Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Interesting. I guess the solution is to build it from scratch then. :) That's probably easier said than done without running afoul of some legal mumbo jumbo, at least by people who have seen ir worked on the old one. And once people start popping up comparison shots of old vs. new they're influenced, which probably also isn't great if they continue to work on it. My IANAL guess though.
joey45 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 IF the map was made from scratch without using any of the original content then it should be alright. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Northstar98 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 +1 The map definitely needs a major overhaul/redo to keep it on par with new maps, I'd love to see Crimea modelled, so many opportunities. But I can imagine that this will be a daunting and very time consuming task considering what's going in to the new NTTR map. But yeah I'd definitely love the Black Sea map to be given some more love.

Maybe you should put someone from the team Eagle Dynamics, but this to me is not the reason. This would not be in the DCS simulator half of the current map. I read somewhere that the problem was to limit the 32bit version. So it would be enough only to "return" the previous part of the map in the form of patch.... perhaps?

I am only telling you what I found on the Russian forum concerning this map (and it was written by users, not by the devs, btw). So we can only guess, as always.

discwalker Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Crimea: home sweet home Currently we can place any number of FARPs. Until the Crimea reborn placeable HIGHWAY STRIPs looks like intermediate solution. At least one HIGHWAY STRIP per mission? In the ancient times we got one runway mod: Anyone remember Merzifon Airbase mod? The moved fictional Razdolnoe. (LOFC Scenery Mod Merzifon v1.3 I advice you to rename the ".exe" to ".zip", unpack not to the LO root folder and then install manually the necessary files. Works with LO1.02.) I would like to see a Saki with the ski-jump and arrestor cables. :pilotfly: Edited November 6, 2015 by discwalker insert pictures GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB DDR3, W8.1 on SSD, DCS on another SSD

No it was a limitation with the old map technology - apparently the number of map objects was limited to a fixed number and it was necessary to remove the Crimean ones in order to further expand the Georgian area(for the Ka-50 Black Shark release). But with the new engine that should no longer be an issue, so I guess it would "just" be a matter of re-doing Crimea to current standards. JJ
