At this timestamp (3:18) ,however, you are flying over a wind farm that does not exist. Israeli wind farms in your map should be located in very specific areas in the Golan heights and near Tiberias. , 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarnoman Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Dear @MAESTR0, With the amazing changes being made to the Lebanese and Israeli areas and the addition of cyprus, I am wondering if there is further work planned for syria, particularly in the euphrates valley region east of al raqqah, and northeast of the euphrates river. This area saw significant air support throughout operation inherent resolve for kurdish troops in the fight against ISIS. Currently this area is already detailed with trees and some roads, but is missing all settlements. I hope that it is possible to flesh it out a little more like the excellent work done to west coast. Kind regards, Yoyo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrgentSiesta Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) A great map gets even better - and the addition of Cyprus and all the extra airfields (and helo pads!) is icing on the cake. Watched the videos before looking at the Before / After shots and couldn't see much difference. But even a quick glance at the before after images shows just how much more detail has been added to the map. Looks substantially better! People complain about optimization and memory leaks, but even so, this has been my favorite place to fly DCS since it was released. Many thanks for the hard work and ongoing improvements Edited March 7, 2021 by coduster Left out a point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebphoto Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This is a fantastic map! The level of detail is really to notch & I can’t wait to see the improvements you guys are making! So far they look great! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to making this simulation the best & for sharing the work in progress you guys have done so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called bug reporting and is done to try and help the developer Anyways, these screenshots and videos from @MAESTR0 look gorgeous. Any words perhaps on their performance impact? As @schurem also asked, has there also been paid attention to optimization? The Syria map already is beautiful, but all that beauty comes at a cost.. (relatively high strain on mid-end pc's and/or in VR, compared to PG and Caucasus for instance) Edit: Nevermind ..

Significant results have already been achieved in this direction: when we recorded this video, then on the RTX 2070, less than 69 fps did not fall (basically 90-110Fps).

That's an entirely fair comment he made - they don't exist there in real life, then they should not be there. People without good knowledge of the area would not have spotted that, so it is entirely fair to point this out to the developers as they were likely unaware themselves. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shu77 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Im still amazed at the quality and detail across this map when compared to some of the others.
