What will you do….

 

Months ago, my plans for this map centred around fjords, mossies and ships

jump in something fast like the Mirage and bez around the map for a quick look-see???

or have a real good look around in the Gazelle…?

choices, choices

I want to try my hand at long range old-school navigation on a ww2 bird … wanna try the P-47 with a chilean livery (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315263/) , on a joint exercise with the FAA, flying from Rio Gallegos to Malvinas, on a fictional situation where the UK returned the islands to argentina after ww2.

I have no problems with the Syria map and I enjoy it. Not my favourite map, but still a very good one.

 

I think the SA map will be good and will also see updates and improvements. 

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

As a helo player it Drives me nuts. All that detail wasted on unchecked topography, a render distance made to suit Mr Magoo and bugs that have been around so long theyre about to be inducted into the R&R hall of fame. 
 

er… ymmv 🙂

I know it's not perfect, but it is good. And happiness is the art of the possible. It's not possible for me to fly a full fidelity Ka-50 across that region and blow ch1t up in any other sim, so I'm more than happy with DCS.

 

Now gimme that South Atlantic map. :smoke:

I have this boosterdog fella set on ignore, but unfortunately I still see his lovely words when people quote him .. I can't help but wonder why he is still flying DCS if he dislikes it so much 🙄

He needs the positive vibes of those of us who really like the sim. He wants to be brought into the light.  😇

Yeah I was quite rude to Rudel_chw so that quite understandable and I regret that. I apologised immediiately but I shouldnt have been such a tool in the first instance. Its his choice. 

I still fly DCS cos I do enjoy many aspects of it. That doesnt mean I am able to ignore some of its less great features that affect that enjoyment. That that over 7 years Ive ploughed £1100 into modules and £4 or 5K into PC and gear to play it is also a factor. In that time ive interoduced 5 or 6 friends to to it. I dont really need bringing into light any more than others need to take their rose tinted sunglasses off. Different strokes. 

Syria gets a lot of praise, some of it I think is deserved, some not. It has glaring issues with draw distances and performance that have never been addressed. But it sells and is often held up to being the new standard. That being the case, why then would anyone else need to worry if their map is sub par performance wise? Why worry if lorrys hang of hills?  Why worry if tarmaced areas drip down cliff edges or map object SAM sites are not level or building and trees do not fully resolve until you are 500M from them? A large proportion of the  vocal minority of players who use forums are clearly not triggered by such things. Thats great. Each to their own. 

Being barracked (however gently) as a naysayer or referenced in the third person like im a not in the room wont disuade me for my opinon that Syria risks setting an unwelcome precedent in standards or that there a some aspect of DCS that aint great and need to be bumped up the the to do list.

I am looking forward to the SA. Just as many couldnt look look past some of the Harriers issues for the longest time, Im was a happy idiot in it. I love Razbam stuff. Flaws and all, their modules have soul. From the sceenies this seems to have transferred into thier maps. But I will wait for the dust to settle as I no longer have a great deal of faith that the quailty control ED sets for its own maps extend to 3rd parties.

I've always found him to be pretty cool. His insistence on penguins not being included in the sim bothers me greatly, but that is a topic many of us have agreed not to discuss lest the conversation turn fowl.

You are as entitled to your opinion as anyone else here. For my part, though not my favourite map, I think Syria is pretty good. Not perfect, but certainly enjoyable. I guess it's a question of what we choose to focus on and what we cannot help but focus on.

 

Likewise, the South Atlantic map is bound to have some pretty poopy textures here and there. Unless it's 200GB and $200, I can't see how it will be avoided, but on the whole, like the Syria map, I think the pros will outweigh the cons and there will be a lot of fun to be had.

 

That said, I still plan on taking my Ka-50 for a long, long flight when the map come out.

He is - it was all on me. Cant say I blame him - id have blocked me too. 

In end (to answer the OPs quastion) Ill take the Harrier and a shed load of fuel tanks- best of both worlds (fuel allowing)

T-45 is not a bad choice, either. Yeah, there is always the freeware MB-339A/PAN

Bought the map awhile ago, had a few brief “look see” flights, but I’m waiting . . . . 
May be a long nose that’s coming first, but I’m looking forward to ‘Tooming the cr@p out of it.
