V2 Alpha no terrain

[Karamich]

Hi,

 

I am new to the series, I got the 1.5 beta few days ago and it functioned well with the Caucasus region.

 

Now I installed the 2.0 Alpha, run it but it gives me a notification that no terrain installed. In the V2 Alpha there is no Caucasus region? It seems we can only install the Nevada terrain in this version otherwise everything is grayed out?

 

Sorry about this noob question.

 

BTW I am new to the DCS but I've been into flight simulation on PC since years now :)

 

Cheers

Hi and welcome to DCS World Karamich ;)

 

Yes, the 2.0 open alpha is primarily used with the Nevada terrain. The Caucasus region is available for the stable 1.2 and the 1.5 open beta (new engine).

Imho, if you can afford it, the Nevada terrain is totally worth it. Compared to the Caucasus terrain the level of details has been greatly increased. It's still an alpha version and there will be more content and improvements (clouds/weather, ATC, …).

The Caucasus terrain will be available for DCSW 2 at a later date.
