If you don't mind us asking Starway how much did you earn so far?

:D

Thanks for asking, but I have to disappoint you. It is not even close to the amount I would have earned if I would have spend the time and effort in a real life job…not to mention what earnings I calculated if it would have been an official released DLC.

 

Anyways, to see this as an income opportunity might be the wrong approach. I guess this is more about boosting your karma by happy users.

 

Best,

Starway, I like your terrain mod a lot.

Lot of good details in it.

 

However there are two things I noticed:

 

I miss yellow spring fields (like found in the original landscape).

For me they are quite essential in creating that spring/summer feeling.

Would it be possible for you to add such fields?

 

Another thing I noticed is, it seems that the borders to the beaches are covered with green meadow-like textures.

While they are nice and detailed they stand out a bit, especially near some town areas, since there are located beach cabins etc. in these areas, and it looks a bit out of place with the green meadow.

Would it be possible to change the textures here to a more sandy or mixed ground-like texture?

Right now, I will wait what news will come concerning the official 2.5 version of the Caucasus Map. After delivering 3 extensive updates of this DLC, I have to admit, that I don`t wanna spend any more extra time on a system which might be rebuilt completely soon.

Probably best. Especially since Wags hinted, on Facebook, that v2.5 might be just 'weeks' away. Of course, 'weeks' could be anything more than 1 week, up to a great many weeks, but I am inclined to think positive on this one.

Do you have a link to this hint. Couldnt find anything.

 

But "weeks away" sounds awesome, because if it was more that 8 weeks, I guess the most people would talk about "months".

He will be sharing info on the updates to the Black Sea map in the coming weeks, he didnt hint at a release date of 2.5 as of yet.

I don't think there will be a hard release date. I believe it will just "show up" hopefully in the not too distant future.

 

So...could sharing info in the coming weeks mean that info could start coming in as early as this week in the form of weekend news? Does that sound like a reasonable interpretation or am I reaching for too much...again?

I'm not sure, that will be up to Wags when he feels good about sharing stuff that wont change too much or anymore.

VFA-2 just started a new Campaign in 1.5.4 thanks to these amazing new textures by Starway! We just posted a bunch of screenshots in our screenshot thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=167107&page=7 and we have quite a few more on our site in the link below. Just in awe at the detail. We had pretty much given up on the Caucasus Map and were just doing some traps while doing missions in NTTR. These textures have changed that map 100% and made it an absolute blast to fly! Thanks so much Starway!

I believe both downloads have the latest version inside. Yah it's confusing. But you will be ok if you choose either one. At least that was the case last I checked.

with news of the new internal 2.5 black sea map, what will happen to all your good work. I much prefer your fields and trees and am worried we will lose them for good?

 

there are plenty of benefits of course but id hope that they might use your work too

I think they did a great job so far!

Anyways, we have a deal. Which means I will wait for the final result and will do my best to implement the look my actual 2.4 version into the new 2.5 map.

I'm so confused.. So, I just clicked on the last link. I believe it said it was Update 2.4? I hope that is for DCS v1.5? The descritption just said it was mainly to fix distant textures. (for the Caucaus map I assume?) But the Torrent says it is 'Starways Black Sea map 2.5.rar'. So.... Guess I'll just see what I get when the 2.06 gig finishes.. (That first post should be more clear I think. Or maybe it just me..?)

 

EDIT:

It looks like it worked. So this is still the DLC terrain for the Caucaus map? But it doesn't pass the online Integrity check? :mad:
