Yup, ED is getting there!

[Spudknocker]

Man I cannot wait for 2.5 and the new Caucuses and this map. I think we are going to see a huge revival of DCS and a influx of new players as well. thanks for all the hard work ED! I am super excited for the future of this awesome product!

loving the "mini-updates" thing...also the hornet is looking amazing!

[Glimmer]

Guys, what about map size? Are there Iran or Kuwait?)

[Esac_mirmidon]

Yes Iran, no Kuwait.

[Glimmer]

Yes Iran, no Kuwait.

 

Thanks)

[CheckGear]

Yes Iran, no Kuwait.

 

Kuwait would have to be part of an entirely different map, due to the sheer size of the region.

 

I'd love to see a southern Iraq-northern Saudi Arabia-Kuwait map that allow you to play out Desert Storm and Southern Watch missions.

I wonder how many Gb's 90,000 square KM terrain will be:music_whistling: Thats way bigger than Normandy IIRC not sure about NTTR :book:

[Thisdale]

Yes Iran, no Kuwait.

 

Kuwait would have to be part of an entirely different map, due to the sheer size of the region.

 

Although a few months old now, can you guys provide clarification about where this information comes from?

 

Also, Iran is about 50 times bigger than Kuwait... Perhaps you meant Iran be a different map?

90.000 square NM for SOH with the center in Abu Dhabi makes impossible to include Kuwait.

Ok, Abu Dhabi has been confirmed at the center of the map then!? Interesting.

 

That makes it look about like this then...

 

[Esac_mirmidon]

90.000 square NM are roughly 410x410 Km.

 

Its impossible to make Kuwait inside that square if the center is Abu Dhabi. Kuwait border is 750 Km from Abu Dhabi

Is Al Bateen airport (OMAD) one of the 16 airfields? Could a list of the 16 airfields planned be posted?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Sorry when i´ve said Abu Dhabi i mean Dubai.

 

This is roughly 90.000 square NM with Dubai in the center.

 

 

So no, no Kuwait.

[Vitormouraa]

DCS World and Real life

[probad]

damn they need to improve the visibility that 'real life' game

 

i can barely see the buildings

[Thisdale]

OK that makes it more visible.

 

Strange however that, essentially there's been lots of conflicts all around this area. But not that much in that area.

To avoid any confusion and be as transparent as possible, this image shows most of the map.

 

The general operations area for the carrier groups would be in the Arabian Sea.

Oh good to see there's a large landmass in the northern section. That's a lot more room for Ops that are not full urban.

 

Thanks for the update Wags!

[Vitormouraa]

Thanks Matt!

SOH from the Trail looks fantastic, but the newest Jests from DCS with the A-10 and F-18 are from the around Year 2000. Did this make deeper sense we get the Palm Isle there his construction was completed in 2008?

All other DCS Planes are much older from technical secrecy.
