Basic Questions

[pandoraefretum]

3 questions, if I may,

1) I bought the South Atlantic Map and can't install it :
DCS doesn't have it listed as a terrain I can install
DCS Open Beta ( I'm downloading it now ) I'm hoping will let me install it ?

2) Can we expect a 1982 Falkland Island Campaign with British Sea Harriers one day ?

3) Since I'm downloading some terrain and OpenBeta I've moved everything off my 250GB SSD "C" Drive onto a 512GB Internal "G" hard drive
Am I to expect much logeer load times ? And will scenery suffer jitter as it loads ?

Thanks in advance, Roland
ps. must say I'm excited about the new terrain

1) The last Stable release was on May 27th (2.7.14.24228). The Open Beta release that contained the South Atlantic terrain was released on June 8th (2.7.15.25026). My guess would be that it will be available for everyone in the next Stable release.

The current Stable is still oder than the map release, so the map is not available there yet. It will become available there with the next stable update. Untill then you can only use the map on the Open Beta.

At least not within the next 2 years, as we won't get a Sea Harrier so fast (that's my personal prediction). What happens in ~5 years and beyond is anyones guess.
RAZBAM has a Sea Harrier planned, but it will probably still take a couple of years to get it done.

Yes, absolutely!
