The_GhostRider Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Kola will be great for cold war scenarios. 1 The_GhostRider [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exorcet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Kola is quite the surprise. I am definitely getting it considering it was one of my top candidates for a DCS map in the wish thread. I'm glad someone with the ability to make a map agreed with me. I wonder if it will push my DCS install to over 1TB. Looking at the preview image of the map area it's actually even larger than I expected it to be. This could definitely be my main map from now on. (My guess, airbases highlighted) Edited July 29, 2022 by Exorcet 3 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoirtel Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Yes I was surprised. Always wondered why orbx had not got into DCS before. I think this will be really nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exhausted Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Totally stoked! With the probable addition of Finland and Sweden into NATO, Kola makes so much sense. You know what also makes sense? Hainan Island and the Paracels, and the Caribbean (Cuba and surrounding coasts and islands - See below) null Edited July 29, 2022 by exhausted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be better war theaters Well, there's Vietnam and Korea, but other than that, I don't see too many other theaters that I find a better fit. Pretty stoked about this theater. Great for the Viggen, naval ops, mountain flying, and (sadly) as relevant today as it was in the cold war. Would love to see a bit more ocean included in the north if possible to ensure you have enough room to maneuver those carriers, but otherwise I'm totally onboard with this choice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbu1 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Wow, Kola map from ORBX is really welcomed surprise for me. I know ORBX well from my civil sims….have a lot of stuff for P3D and X- Plane. Kola is a very interesting location recarding the actual geopolitical situation and Finland and Sweden joining Nato, I think. It also looks very interesting terrain with land, sea and mountain regions. I like it The AH-64D CPG animation looks very nice and looking forward seeing more of it!

Gunfreak Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 There's war exercises in the part of Norway which is on the map since far into the cold war and to this day. Decades of war games that van be replayed as live wars in DCS. British, American, German, French etc. Even Sweden joined in a few times. This year's exercise included a Marine Amphibious assault ship, so you can make missions and campaigns with the Tarawa harrier. conventional us carriers have been there too. Lots of possibilities. Norway used F86, F5 and F16 during the cold war, and F16 until last year. Bodø air base will be in the map. Home of F16 squadron. 4 1 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Gierasimov Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I am really happy with Orbx announcement. \ I hope they are well aware that DCS requires a lot of detail in low level area for all ground pounders / combined arms / Viggen drivers and helo riders. 3 Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the Viggen covered! Will be a nice little playground with a lot of options to make a decent show out of it.
