Persian Gulf ME issues

[cailean_556]

Disclaimer: Persian Gulf has exceeded my expectations in most areas. I acknowledge the Hornet is Priority 1 (as it should be), but just want to throw this out there so its written down.

 

First negative - while it's obvious Iran has been worked on, with a number of new liveries included, most of their non-flyables lack an Iranian livery. Iran is also missing some key aircraft from their available inventory (e.g. F-4, C-130 and F-14 - the F-4 is especially noticeably absent, it's one of their most numerous fighters). Are these planned or...?

 

Second negative - Goes hand in hand with the above, NONE of the Iranian airfields/airbases allow for the IL-76 to take off from the ramp. Once set to 'Take Off from Ramp' (in the Mission Editor)they teleport across the map to the UAE. I've not tried the A-50 yet however assume its in the same boat. Surely this is a mistake? Bandar Abbas has 2 runways, both in excess of 1.5nm in length, and similar-sized civilian jets land there - it is able to take 747s, surely it can handle IL-76s? - From a mission design point of view - this is my biggest gripe.

 

Third negative - While it's obvious that the Iranian faction has been worked on, the same can't be said for the other two nations in the region: UAE and Oman. Neither have ground forces yet and neither have access to the F-16 (the backbone of their respective air forces). The UAE operates the Mirage 2000-9 however the 2000C can perform most of its functions but the UAE livery included with the Mirage 2000C can't be selected if the aircraft belongs to the UAE, only France at this stage. Are new liveries, and a faction overhaul, (for UAE and Oman) incoming? And can the UAE livery either be the default selection for the UAE M2000C (much like the Greek livery is for Greece) or at least be available for selection?

 

POSITIVES!

 

So I don't end on a whingey, negative note I've saved the best for last.

 

As stated above, the map has - for the most part - exceeded my expectations. From the lighting effects down to the detail. It has been amazing. However I was definitely NOT expecting the rain effects to be snuck in quietly and seemingly unannounced. Not that I saw it rain much when I was over that way but it does give just that bit more immersion and realism. Also the existing liveries for the Iranian side are schmick, I especially like the new IRIAF MiG-21 livery.

I agree with all of your points. :)

 

But do keep in mind that this is an early acces product.

So for the livery for the M2KC UAE livery I think an easy fix to that would be to go into that livery's .lua file and change the country code to enable it to be selected and used by M2kC belonging to UAE.

1. F-4 and F-14 might be waiting on the new models with their modules. Good point the C-130 is missing.

 

2. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Kerman and Shiraz are at least being added at somepoint in the future. Anyways there is also a request to add spawns to Bandar Abbas by using that maintenance area which could support a large spawn or two.

 

3. They are aware.

 

SVTONY, Grass airfields are still non functional and have no object representing them in the world.
