FALKLANDS MAP

Some of the textures looked a little janky when low down which makes me hesitate. We all know how even new sims terrain can look like hot dog mess when at low altitude.

Hopefully it was youtube compression but time will tell. 

 

 

Even if you go into the "civvy sim" with its glorious textures, big parts of this area look weak. I think the SA map looks pretty good.

It looks amazing from high altitude...

I'd love to see some gfx of low level terrain flying, as that's where most flying will be done.

 

There was a WIP video over half a year ago. Shows a lot of details.

Considering they are still improving this should be pretty awesome...

Perhaps will be ok (I hope!), pictures from Roadmap topic:

The opening shots look great but then when you see it with the aircraft in shot, there seems to be some sort of disconnect, like the aircraft and terrain are not part of the same environment. It almost looks as if the aircraft is a model suspended in front of a blue screen or something. It's especially noticeable on the Harrier shots towards the end. Whether it's something to do with the fact that they're using (albeit heavily modified) satellite images - maybe the resolution is not high enough, or it's just the DCS settings that are being applied, such as blur and depth of field, I don't know. If that's the case then I'd like to see some video without those settings applied. And some interaction with the environment, such as dropping bombs etc. I've just watched some DCS cinematic videos on youtube and I don't notice the the same feeling of disconnect on other maps that I see in this video. Although, I'm aware those cinematic videos might have other effects applied to make them blend more realistically.

Hopefully it's just a quirk of this video, as otherwise it does look like it could be a great map.

The video is wrong done (according me), he uses Depth of Field option ON in DCS what is a mistake for promo videos. Perhaps this. The effect is that you see blurry textures in the backgrond and sharp the first plan:

Yes and it's even more pronounced in the Harrier shots. I'd like to see it with the Depth of Field option off.

Its not promo of SA map, but no any effect on Wags video:

This scene definitely could use better ground textures - especially evident in the built up area and mountain peaks.  

[Mike Force Team]

I foresee spending hours just flying in the mountains in southern Argentina and southern Chile.  The aerial refuelers will be busy topping off our jets' fuel tanks as we enjoy the scenario.

In the SA map, I hope we have a mission editor feature. We can control the weather. I wonder if razbam will have a separate assets module for the SA map.

I can't imagine we wouldn't. It's there for every map.

Wow, that looks just incredible!

WiP and it will not be finished at the day of realease. As we know it will be Early Access so perhaps it will be developping to the next year or more.

What I know now about current stage of the map I can say I will be content I hope :).

[edison_trent]

this map looks great with F-15 

[Mike Force Team]

For the SA map, can Razbam add mermaids to it? They provide a welcome distraction for pilots flying oceanic missions to and from the carriers.

[Mike Force Team]

Since razbam and ED have been silent, we wait. In the meantime, we can post ideas and suggestions foe the SA map. Additionally, using the falkland islands war history as a guide, we can create drafts for future missions and campaigns. 

As a minimum, ED'S staff reads the new forum posts. If they find something noteworthy for razbam, I am certain that ED passes the information along to them.

I'm quite sure Raz read their forums as well, no need for ED to become active.

[Baco]

Mission and campaigns are usually done by other third parties like Reflected for example. and there will be a plethora of user made missions when we finally get the map.

Is this releasing this week?  CASMO just did a preview of the map and said it would be released within the next few days.  Hoping this was not a miscommunication.   Either way, I do not mind waiting.

Yeah, he said it twice as well, surely not a slip of the tongue.

[Gunfreak]

But now the semantic will start what is a few days?

I assume it will come with an open beta update. Those are usually Thursday. So is a few days Thursday? 

Or is a few days a couple of weeks?

[YoYo]

Maybe pre order next few days, but release 22.06 with OB patch?

I thought I also saw (read) a June 22nd date somewhere, but now I cant find the source...

Is it possible it has been changed?

Every source is talking about an imminent release: "Less than the ones in your right hand, if everything goes as planned (which never does, but still)", and Casmo "with in a few days" statement makes me thing that it might get released this week or Next week tops.. June 22nd is still 14 days away...

To be more precise, 22th isnt official date for OB patch yet (they are still assumptions)

just June, it could be 15th or 22, or 29 maximum. Some talk that 22th was planned for this patch in internal talks ;).
