Xilon_x Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) the maps are ok thanks dcs but something is missing. To see if the map is similar to reality, the first thing I look at is its contours, that is the coasts. OK OK what is missing is the definition of ports every city has a ports with its own shape. EXAMPLE on these photos above. I ask ED-DCS if it is possible to better adjust the coasts of the Caucasus. I believe with regard to the rest I am satisfied with the work already done on the Caucasus.

jcbak Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm guessing there have been a lot of compromises for performance sake. If you look at satellite images of Batumi, it looks nothing like the way it's depicted in DCS. It's just the nature of the beast.

Jarlerus Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Look to map DLC for better detail. There's no economy in making Caucasus better.

Jester986 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'd be more interested in seeing at least one airbase or airport added to turkey and a little life added to Crimea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilon_x Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I do not ask to make large changes to the current map ..... I ask simply to improve the contours of the coast to make them similar to reality '. Edited February 12, 2019 by Xilon_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlerus Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I do not ask to make large changes to the current map ..... I ask simply to improve the contours of the coast to make them similar to reality '. The map already has features that are not there in reality. Like airfields that where shut down and built over in the 80's. So I don't think they share your ambitions.

So I don't think they share your ambitions. I'll ask you a question, have you ever flown in VFR? Visual flight expects to recognize the characteristics of the terrain. now if I fly on the coast of the caucasus and miss a harbor or miss a bay I am disoriented. and I have no reference points. the characteristics of the coast are important.

ex81 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The Caucasus map is for free ! Since 1.5.x it changed a lot to the better. And it is a GAME ! No reason to be dissatisfied. What you`re asking for is (imho) way too much. P.S. Thank you ED for a very good FREE map. What goes up, must come down !

Jarlerus Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 ... characteristics of the coast are important. Yes. So the solution is: Buy a better map (as ED wants you to ;) ) And then you'll have a legitimate case when you request these fixes! :D Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
