Paladin1cd Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I love the map, however I want to know when we will have destructible buildings to, you know, fight the war on. Right now it’s beautiful but this ain’t MS flight sim. I need to have major 8nfatructure to engage for objectives right? The palace, MOD, and TV station aren’t destructible and I’m having a devil of a time making a workaround so far. Could we have an update? Any chance that will be resolved with the expansion? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotTom Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 East is okay, I guess. But why not south? Southern Israel (Negev) Sinai, Egypt, Suez Canal. More air battles were fought in those areas than anywhere outside of WWII? Don't you care about historical air battles? More empty desert does very little for me.... 5 Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert is easier, and for me also reach Baddag and join with the Persian Gulf would be great. But for sure it would be amaizing an expansion to the south. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Any comment from UGRA about how far East the new map will push. Will it make it out to the NE syrian border? I.e. If we wanted to could we recreate the famous iranaian H3 strike in the future from the 2nd tank point over turkey near Zakho, will Al-Qa'im be on the map? 1 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

The map will be extended eastward 250 km to Deir ez Zor Air Base. Added Sanliurfa International Airport in Turkey. Added part of the territory of Iraq with H3, H3 Northwest, H3 Southwest и Ruwayshid. Added Kharab Ishk helicopter base located on the territory of Lafarge factory. Added At-Tanf military base on Syrian-Iraqi border. Tal Siman military base located north of the city of Raqqa was added. Added abandoned dirt airfield east of Sayqal Air Base. Ataturk Dam and Şanlıurfa International Airport were added in Turkey. Added scenes of oil facilities in ir Deir ez-Zor area. Added a large section of the Euphrates River Valley in the eastern part of the map. Very nice WIP pics, and very welcome updates. With that said, the best update for the Syria map would be related with better performance and lower VRAM usage - this should be the priority, as it's still a bit problematic if compared to most other maps of a Sim/Game already very demanding on resources. The objects "pop-in" with bushes and trees in fields near populations is another present issue, breaking immersion. I'd think most people want "better", not "more".

VIXEN413 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hey Urga, hey guys, Was walking around in Protaras and Capo Greco Cyprus yesterday, first time back since 2-3 years altough I m in Cyprus often for work... Went to a viewpoint and noticed that they took away the antennas that used to be there and also the tip of the cape is open to civ public. Might wanna consider taking the antennas away from there too... Also, buildings are growing like mushrooms in Limassol... soon will be time to add those big structures lol 2 Rig: MB Gigabite z390UD, CPU Intel I7 8700k, RAM 32G DDR4 3200 Gskill ripjaws, GPU MSI RTX2080SuperOC, HDD Crucial mx500 1tb M2 sata, PSU Corsair 850W, watercooling Corsair h100, Controlers TM f/a 18 stick on Virpil warbrd base, TM cougar f16 stick on cougar base, Cougar F16 throttle on TUSBA, ch pedals, TM cougar MFD 27" monitor with trk IR 5 and HP Reverb HMD.

Not sure on which era/year the Syria map is based, but normally, these kind of real life changes are not processed. 2 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Unfortunately, and fortunately, the maps of DCS are not those in MSFS2K, it is not exactly true to real life, but you know what, it is always great to ask for changes from us customers. 2 VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Yeah I mean thats my question, if the actual NE border will be included (plus 20km of Iraq would be nice) for this specific scenario. I mean I'm super impressed with Ugra for all the work they have already done with the original map (i.e. adding Cyprus etc). So if not I won't cry much, but it would be cool even if it was blank out there. Edited March 7, 2022 by Harlikwin 3 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Japo32 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 But I believe that to reach those areas, even don't have big cities, they have to follow the coast to the south, were big cities are.
