Something definitely seems a little wrong.

You must install OpenBeta, or convert your stabel install. Easiest done with Skatezilla's excellent launcher app. When you log in, you'll be prompted to install it.

Cheers!

Has anyone else noticed that the trees don't render in the far distance no matter what Visible Range setting you use? When doing testing in VR I have to use zoom to see trees in the distance. I can tell there is some kind of circular anomaly(preload radius?) when flying that's loading trees. I don't feel like I should have use zoom to see those trees when the Preload Raduis is all the way up. However, even when the Visible Range setting is set to Extreme, the trees render at the same distance.

I believe it's a common thing as per this thread

Pre load radius does not change what you see or when you see it. It only minimizes loading terrain in game.

This is the wuestion for @MAESTR0: is there sny chance to we get Diyrabakir AB as it is one of the most important for TUAF in that region.

 

Thanks in advance

First, Crimea was deleted on FC-1 by map limitations on object count technology previously to EDGE engine. After, Crimea has not been added by the "little" problem by the russian crimean "invasion" of 2004, a political theme and remeber, ED main studio has located on Mowcow, Russia. That has a very sensible theme and actually has not added to no convert them on a "political" theme. The same situation with the Caucasus north / ukrania region by "Dombass War" / Chechenia / and some south republics.

 

That is something the politics shouldn't have no place at all, as one can historically make a map to something else than modern era. Like make a map represent 1988 or something and you can avoid all political discussion, but some people would anyway find history offensive, why it must be made criminal to study, research or discuss about it - with label "accept the official truth or....".

:cry: I don't know if I missed something but it would be good to have a work update on this great map, I haven't seen any development news for a long time, especially from the island of Cyprus :music_whistling:

Although I'm sure Ugra is still putting effort in this map, solving bugs and optimizing performance, it would indeed be reassuring if someone from Ugra could give us an update on progress.

 

At time of release I was very impressed about the Syria map (and I still am on most parts), but I'm sad to say, my enthusiasm is slowly starting to wear off due to some remaining major issues.

• Visibility range (even when set to high) was, and still is, very poor. You can see trees and buildings "grow" while landmarks can be seen for 10nm out.
  
• Performance at some locations is still pretty critical (Incirlik for instance)
  

(to name two of the most pressing matters)

+1 +1...

Hear hear. Optimized surface details and Eliminated AIs traffic jam on some airport runways during takeoff is the only piece of feedback I have seen in patchnotes since August. That is pretty scarce.

Does anyone have a clue what is the time frame for getting that Syira map update/enlargement? Please avoid jurassic comment “two weeks”. I know that among us there is people who are in some connection and contact with Ugra developer and they may have some good news for us all.

 

Thanks in advance

[shu77]

I thought I saw somewhere the next update was coming in this months patch, I can't remember the source but I know I thought it would give me something to work on over the xmas break

that's a bummer

[Avenger31]

There no update for the map today, i hope that MAESTRO decided to add more Turkish bases and becouse of it we need to wait more

[Bedouin]

They was properly not satisfied with it, an wanna fix more before releasing it, for me i hope it just comes before the christmas holiday next week.. but at the same time better the release a better polish map than rush it.

[TIGER]

Seems no cyprus today. Let's hope for the next update. S!

[sirrah]

I can't suppress being kinda disappointed that again an OB patch passes without any optimization on the Syria map (at least not mentioned in patch notes)

 

Imo, the extremely high RAM demand of this map and the silly short visual range of scenery and trees should have priority over adding new content (as much as I'm also looking forward to Cyprus)

 

Let's hope we'll see some improvements in the December update
