Silver_Dragon Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Yes, a DETAILED AREA. This is what you need for FPS, vehicle, and helicopter / ground attack aircraft. You have a perfect FPS map here. What many FPS players having been dreaming of for the last few decades. A REALISTIC FPS with REALISTIC vehicles, weapons, and aircraft on a LARGE map. Hope you make it reality one day. FPS dont enter (yet) into the DCS World environment. about "realistic" vehicles you required implement cockpits and system as same level of a "hardcore" airplanes / aircraft and yet has not planned realistic playable vehicles (that can require one or more dedicated teams and take years), actually we have Combined Arms. About "large" map, waiting to Vulcan, map technology advances and TDK improvements. Edited January 7, 2020 by Silver_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WA Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Well, Marianas, to us FPS players, IS a large map. What we've been striving for. It's a good step forward for DCS. With thinking like this, I'm sure greater ground detail and simulation level vehicles will come soon enough. In the end, you can have huge "world" maps geared towards fighter jets, high altitude air combat, and smaller, more detailed, "fps" maps for everything else. Personally, I don't find combined arms worth buying. WAYYYY too simple. Edited January 7, 2020 by 3WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow84 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The update mentioned that the Mi24 would be the "next helicopter" to come to DCS. Does this mean it will be released before the Kiowa? That would be surprising - the Kiowa is already being demo'd on livestreams and we haven't seen an exterior model for the Hind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThorBrasil Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 If this is separate from Normandy, as against an extension to (which I’d be happy to pay for), then it’s a bit of an odd way to do things. The DCS engine still has some limitations. That is why the map does not merge.
