Nodak Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The coloring of the airfield concrete is off, the buildings are correct for local sourced concrete material, the airfields are wrong. Been to Cairo West a few times a couple centuries ago and that was a very noticeable feature, so much so it was difficult to find the actual runway. At the time they had multiple decoy marked runways and taxi ways scratched into the sand, along with multiple derelict badgers and other obsolete aircraft parked as decoys. Here's a current day Cairo IAP as compared to in game, quite a notable difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Pilot Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) I agree. In addition, unfortunately, the area around the airport turned out to be very poor, which is very unrealistic. This is generally the problem of many maps in DCS that the color of concrete and the area around it are made like in a cartoon or in a video presentation. Here is a satellite photo Pay attention to the multiple areas of different colors - which creates a sense of realism Here they are To be honest, because of this, I really don't like the map of the Persian Gulf and refused to buy NTTP, airports look unreal artificially Edited March 29, 2023 by Red_Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge55 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Meh. Looks like an airport to me. Seems an odd thing (color of concrete) to to use as a make or break decision on purchasing a map considering the the overall map. But, your call, it’s your money. Great looking map, going to be fun to fly and the mission creation will be excellent. 8 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 10700K OC 5.1GHZ / 500GB SSD & 1TB M:2 & 4TB HDD / MSI Gaming MB / GTX 1080 / 32GB RAM / Win 10 / TrackIR 4 Pro / CH Pedals / TM Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 You get extra melodrama points if you can find where anybody besides you said any purchase hinges on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addman Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I think it's worth pointing out. Also remember, it's not even an early access release so far from finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnReTech Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Аirfields use 4 pavement options, these are new asphalt, old asphalt, new and old concrete. At the Cairo airfield, this strip turned out to be new, as I understand it, this is new asphalt. And it seems dark, but the albedo of the new asphalt is about the same as that of coal - 4-5%. I agree that the 05R-23L lane looks more like old asphalt, it will be fixed, thanks! Edited April 3, 2023 by OnReTech 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
