Raisuli Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Seriously? F-4, F-15E, A-7, F-4U, Kfir, Kola, Sinai...does DCS have any idea what they're doing to my household budget? Do they even care? Heartless, I tell you! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repth Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Give it some time. There are two more regions we need to cover the whole area. Turkey/Armenia/Azerbaijan and Iraq and northern Iran. That is every major conflict covered in the area since the late 50's. It also fits great into ED'S world map plans.

Bremspropeller Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Sinai's good for a bunch of conflicts, so it's a natural choice. Can't wait to fly a proper MIII above the Nile delta. We need more Fishbeds. 4 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk1971 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 On the one hand, really glad to get a Sinai map. On the other hand, kinda sad that it's a separate map from Syria, and by a different developer. I was hoping that some time in the future, the "Syria" map could grow to include eastern Egypt, western Saudi and Iraq. Oh well. Maybe, hopefully, I'll live long enough (singularity?) to witness the great-grandchildren of the current ED devs implementing the whole world as a single map. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, on the face of it it is a shame that we seem to be getting two separate adjacent maps. However Expanding “Syria” to the South may be a bit much for Ugra’s small team of part timers though. They are working on expanding “Normandy” according to ED. At least we will have more scenery available and scenery that will be a good fit for available (or announced) DCS modules. Any chance of a WW2 version with a bit more Western Desert modelled? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcet Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Sinai being 900x600 miles and including Saudi Arabia is really tempting me, I need to see where the boundaries are here. Unfortunately though it looks like my 1TB drive dedicated to DCS may not have been enough. So much for future proofing. 1 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...

There goes my plan to upgrade to a 1TB drive, if it keeps going the way it does, I'll need a 2TB one at least. Just for one damn sim. That said, I'm glad they're doing Sinai. Looks like it'll overlap with Syria just enough to make it possible to make a campaign that alternates between the two. Expensive, but I suppose people will eventually grab both anyway. It'll be just the thing for the Kfir. Now, if we only could get Israeli versions of the F-16 and the Mudhen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgie79 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Too bad there’s still no news about Vulkan and/or multicore and/or dynamic campaign. It’s taking quite a while huh. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah, it's normal. Unfortunately, they're also less screenshot-generating tasks. Maps are almost entirely about visuals, so you see screens from them early and often. Modules are less so, you see a lot of screens early when mesh work is being done, then it dies down when modeling is mostly done and work moves onto systems, and then you get screenshots and videos showing those systems in operation as they get finished. Core improvements, like Vulkan or multicore support, or DC for that matter? Code. All code, most of it utterly incomprehensible to someone without intimate knowledge of how computer graphics are rendered. There's literally nothing happening that they could tell a non-technical audience about. DC is AI logic and backend, which is in the same boat. Screenshots will only come when the thing is almost ready, and it's unlikely Vulkan and multicore will do anything screenshotable, unless they use that opportunity to implement some eyecandy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, I'm happy with the map choice, though I'm probably going to give it a miss for the time being (though Suez canal is definitely interesting)- I'm running out of storage space and I figure that the Kola map will be my main one going forward.
