DCS: Syria Map - Damascus Air Taxi

Wow perfect!

[Enduro14]

Looking good but i take Your comments Wags about performance = to Vr is out of the question especially in Damascus, similar to the channel map?

[YoYo]

It will be perfect map for helicopters also! Cant wait and fingers crossed for good performance in VR too :).

[BIGNEWY]

Wags specs and settings added to spoiler.

[Enduro14]

Vr performance? Map can’t perform like channel map can’t in VR, then it’s a major no buy.

Fps drops near the trees, hopefully they are solved, but it looks great!!!!!

Very interesting the Hind and the battery of S-200 in the airport of Damascus!

[Stratos]

Great video! Loved the Hind and Sa-5 hints, let's cross our finger for that Apache!

[Emmy]

Now three NOE videos. Maybe time for a nice round-robin tour at say, 10-15K?

[ThorBrasil]

I am worried. The map appears to be very heavy.

[BarTzi]

This video could become a good series. Have you considered doing the same for Beirut/Haifa and the surrounding areas?

[Eldur]

As I've commented on the video itself, I won't drop the same here again (in short: it's awesome), but now after flying the Mi-8 again, I noticed the lighting seems to be fixed on Wags' end there. Finally! I almost can't read the gauges here because of DCS being the Dark Cockpit Simulator. And turning up the rheos doesn't do anything at all. At least they work in the Huey which is also pitch black otherwise since the introduction of 2.5. Glad to see them getting some love now

Hi wags,

your note about performance at 8:15 in video means, that Syria map´s performance above Damascus is simmilar to

 

- Vegas, NE

- Caen, NO

- Dubai, Gulf

- Batumi, Cau

 

...no, no,

do not tell us, it is like the Channel!
