can you delay for another two weeks

Np, next update 12th April.

[Yuto]

are we expecting the release of Sinai in the next update? with all the new videos and ED announcing an update soon, does that mean Sinai is coming on the 12th?

[YoYo]

Looks like really soon I suppose. Most reviewers get them 1-2 weeks before release.

This Friday will be announced and in 2 weeks the release of EA? 

I'm betting it will be before Easter too .

It really does look like the next newsletter will be centered around DCS SINAI map release to EA, does it not?

 

Looks possible. I'm definitely in for this map. Looks like a sightseeing extravaganza. 

 

Edit: Still curious if the devs have an opinion on RAM usage with this map.

I hope it was tested in VR also and works great, not worse than Syria (which works really well for me). But not like with SA map in release date of EA ;).

[Yuto]

hopefully its as good as Syria or even better when it comes to performance, if its worse my laptop might end up exploding xD

If you watch the GrimReapers preview video, the other guy flying with CAP, Simba I think it is, says he's flying in VR and getting good frames. Also, CAP says he's not using MT and his frames never drop below 60fps (non VR), even over dense cities, so it looks promising.

Good news for me.

With my decade of experiences on releasing new products to a very passionate and finicky customer based I have sent products out to key industry Youtube and Social media influencers days before release... but this is DCS and "two weeks" rule is always in effect 

[Roy35150]

Looks truly awesome,

Great news...

This is by far the best video.
One thing that no one showed are historical and tourist points on the map. The map of Syria is full of them. Even the PG has it too.
I would love to see the historical and biblical sights in Israel. Temples etc...

I've heard the historic and religious sights won't have damage models, which is a very good idea.

true! it is an excellent idea for religious and tourist sites not to be damaged.

I agree. I think that this way we obtain a very good balance between reality/playability and respect.

[Vettefan]

Looks awesome and I am so much looking forward to this map!

In my opinion, a future (if not already in the pipeline) expansion towards Tobruk could also open a nice historic option for the warbird pilots amongst us...

@OnReTech

Some details I don't understand that are not directly dependent on the Sinai map and are related to all maps:

1. why is the conformation of the road network often full of angles that make them unrealistic, especially at low altitudes?
2. Why do bridges, underpasses, etc... have an unrealistic and often basic architecture?
3. Why the abuse of what is so many lampposts in the streets? Eliminating the middle would save a lot from rendering objects in the map and the final result would be more realistic.

Maybe you're even a Graham Hancock fan like me.

I know this is a big project, but can you add texture to the waters, such as estuaries, coasts, and so on, like the Persian Gulf
