Rubberduck85 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Hello devs, If possible make this map as an optional dlc in the module manager / steam dlc manager. The reason for the request is hard disk space management. This way it would be possible to choose to have or not the map installed. Regards Sent from my MI 10 Lite 5G using Tapatalk
Hoirtel Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I think all modules are optional. You can switch them off and delete them at will. Or choose not to install at all. As you can do with everything during the free to play periods
Dragon1-1 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Not all. Caucasus, Su-25T and TF-51D come with DCS World by default. Now, we don't know if Marianas map will be implemented as a module, or if it will become part of baseline DCS World, like all other free content. I do hope it's a module, because my SSD is only 500GB, and I've got two other sims on it, too.
Hoirtel Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 It will come up like all the others. Once it's launched it will say it's available to download (as if you bought it) and then you have the choice. Possibly if you reinstall the game it may come automatically.
Northstar98 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 While I don't have a space problem, and the Marianas might be a smaller map in size compared to say, Syria. I hope it is an optional download for those who don't have large amounts of storage space available. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Well, considerin how much less there is a landmass, it should be much smaller in size. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Only thing I will say is bathymetry and the increased detail, which might increase the size somewhat. But yes, the entirety of the Marianas has less area than Qeshm island - in theory it should be pretty small compared to our other maps.

The most demand is the amount of terrain textures and how many individual buildings there are, as all trees and such same objects are just repeating data for map to know what to place where and how. It would be nice to have a small size map as it would dramatically make DCS World more SSD friendly for many who want to try it. 1 i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I don't have space issues myself, but I hope for others that do, that ED sometime in the future will make even the free modules removable, and include tools that can easily move things around to other disks for the not so computer savvy. Even though mklink is easy enough.Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1
