Linx Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Will this map include this airfield for NATO air operations?
Ala13_ManOWar Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Apparently no. There's comments in FB saying it's a bit far away and out of the map's scope. S!

Very Sad Cyprus Should have been a Priority !!! Been an Air Traffic Controller at Nicosia Area Control Center I can see every day Eurofighters plus an A332 Tanker get airborne from Akrotiri and going into Syria for a Mission ( Patrol , bombing etc...) !! P.s. Last year RAF used to use Tornados !! I hope that Someday they will add Cyprus in Syria Map . Mike Edited June 13, 2020 by Mixalis

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 14, 2020 ED Team Posted June 14, 2020 I lived in Cyprus for a number years and guarded RAF Akrotiri because the RAF were not capable of doing it themselves ( this is an Army joke poking fun at the RAF :) ) Sadly Cyprus is not in the scope for this terrain, but if there was a chance I would be right behind it. thanks 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Linx Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 Will at least the land mass be there? Or will it be just empty sea?

Pikey Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Sad but expected. I would have to say, "i'd pay for Cyprus" How could we go about still championing the idea of getting Cyprus added if we are likely to buy the Syria map on it's existing features? ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

I think it's a bit of a shady marketing move to say that "it's not planned, but might come, if it sells well". Honestly, that's not treating the potential customers with the respect they deserve. Better to make absolutely clear, that there won't be cyprus, no matter what. Make sure people buy it for what it is. If you later decide, for whatever reasons, that you want to include cyprus, it would come as a pleasant surprise.

donkeyrider Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks, that's better. But also sad. It's difficult. There's a time and cost involved in making these maps. If the sales are strong, then adding extra features is justified. If sales are not strong, then the developers need to move on to something else. I'm glad it is no longer an outright "no" and they are opening the door, just a crack, to the potential of doing this at some point in the future.

Hoirtel Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 RAF Akrotiri would be a good base for the Typhoon. 1
Duck21 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Please re-think the Cyprus case, RAF Akrotiri would make so much sense! The airbase would need to be high detail, but other things of Cyprus wouldn't need to be super detailed, since we'd really only depart and come back. So no need for a highly detailed city of Larnaca if that's not feasible. But RAF Akrotiri is a must :)
joey45 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 For game play, it should be there. 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

VirusAM Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 It would make sense to have Cyprus in...at least the airport (could be the only detailed thing of the island)...let’s hope for the future, would be nice with the Ef2000 and hopefully the Tornado R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra+F-16 grip+F/A-18 grip, VKB Stecs Max, VKB T-Rudder MKV, Razer Tartarus V2 Secrets Lab Tytan, Monstertech ChairMounts
