Dav IRL Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I am considering purchasing the Syria map. I just wanted a reason to go for it compared to Persian Gulf? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.
Pooter03 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Much more diverse landscapes (green areas near the coast, desert further inland. Lots of hills and mountains for helicopters to play in. Pretty interesting and detailed cities.
Rick50 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 um... it's not like the Persian Gulf map really at all. It's not really flat, there's tons of trees and fields, lots of cities and towns, lots of mountains, tons of valleys and hills... Damascus, Beirut, Haifa.. these places have history! There's several countries, lots of very detailed airbases, and just looks really good whether at high alt, or right down between the trees. I admit when I first heard of this project I wasn't that excited, but seeing the many youtube videos showing it off, for me it's now a must-buy! Seriously, check out the many videos, by Wags, Grim Reapers and several others.
crazyeddie Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Much better map, I have both, Gulf is good but its mostly sand, Syria has a bit of everything and the detail is excellent, go for Syria.
Dav IRL Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Cheers I will go ahead and buy it so :) 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.
QuiGon Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Why is this thread in the bugs and problems subforum? :huh: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
dpgfla Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 This map is almost like the Caucuses and The Persian Gulf had a baby.

TOViper Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) If you like flying long distances, PG would offer more, since it is FAR bigger (2000 km measured from the top left end of map to the bottom right end with nice elevation details). But there are not that much details of course, despite the bigger cities are really nice. To really experience the size of Iran, just go by HMWVV from top left to bottom right ... (don't forget you have something to eat and drink with you ...) :P Syria is not that big, its just ~800 km, but obviously contains much more objects. It would be a nice idea to make a race through Iran by car ... 30 hours, a few drivers ... who will win the competition?

Ala12Rv-Birdman Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Persian Gulf has 200.000 sq km. Siria is a 300.000 sq km map. (data displayed in the DCS web) So, based on the data they give, Siria is actually bigger than PG.
