Fixed frequency settings for Gazipasa, Rene Mouawad, Ramat David, Ercan, Beirut, HATAY airfields.

Is it possible to change Wujah al Hajar as well? I always cringe when I call Tower on 121.5!

This is misspelled. I posted this a long time ago as well I believe.

 

It should be Adana Sehir Hastanesi... not Adana Hehir Sastanesi. lol (S & H need to be swapped out)

 

 

This should also be "Sheraton"

Probably its on purpose, since trademarks can’t be used without a license.

You're right about Sheraton and others but not the Hospital. See Devrim's explanation:

Haha! Exactly. Always laugh when I pass that one.

Are you referring to the MT or ST version? If the performance drop occurs in MT only, your issue is maybe related to this MT performance bug.

Hi,
Finally the guilty is the last Nvidia driver.
After several tests, the 531.79 driver brought me back to the initial performance or even better with this map update.

Hey, guys. I'm not sure if it being discussed earlier. I've noticed that no one replies to me in Abu al-Duhur airport, when I'm requesting for start up, taxi etc. However it worked well a few days ago (before the update).

Frequency is 122.200 and the radio works great in some other airports. Furthemore I tried easy communications and it did not work too. Is it an already known issue?

Just wanted to show some appreciation and give my thanks to the Ugra Media team (and all those involved with the production/updates of this map).

This last update for the Syria map has seen some remarkable improvements also in performance - what used to be the biggest drawback of this map. 
  Soooo much better now!

Привет мастер.

Я очень ценю потрясающие обновления вокруг карты. Но после сегодняшнего обновления у меня плохой FPS из-за нового ночного освещения на карте. ...

+1 кадр/с при 40 с новым ночным освещением. Та же проблема с ночным освещением на карте Синай, так что, возможно, эти две карты используют одну и ту же технологию. ...

Hi
Work on the night lighting was not stopped. We are looking for a balance between performance and beauty. Even now some of the new lights are switched off at a distance, somewhere they are replaced at the lod1 level by standard lights.
All this will be available in the next update.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Nice to hear that, Maestro.

The map is a beauty itself, i love it, and the new dynamic lighting is very welcomed. This improvements sounds great.

Just is interesting how dynamic lighting in the Persian Gulf has a different impact in perfomance. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are very large cities and flying over is a joy at night with great perfomance. Syria i know is quite different, much more surface details, forests, trees, etc. But didn´t expect such a difference.

Will try the new update and make some comments around here.

Thanks for you dedicated work

Yep. No ATC. Neither 122.200 nor 250.450.

Since the City of Paris secured itself the IP to everything about the Eiffel Tower™ lights, from photographs to the design, I guess they are simply cautious...

I'm getting worse performance than I did before the Syria update. Is this a common problem?

Not in general afaik. Certainly not for me.

The only instances in which the performance seem to drop, is in certain lighting conditions when the city lights turn on in the dusk.

[AlpineGTA]

Yes, I'm getting worse performance too (in VR). I think it's related to the new lightning technology. Every map that is using the new lighting has worse performance when flying at night over cities.

I use the Yak-52 Syria free flight mission as a benchmark, which is a dark mission flying low over a city, with the lights on. Previously I had all my settings dialled in so I had good smooth performance, but since the last update, using exactly the same settings, my fps has tanked and I get terrible stuttering. Turning texture settings down etc. doesn't fix it. The only way I can get smooth performance back is if I turn down the resolution of my headset in the OpenXR settings. I can only attribute it to the new lighting.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Persian Gulf has the new dynamic lighting and the perfomance is great.

[Flyingfish]

I'm even getting worse performance when I fly during the day time. I only fly in VR so maybe the performance drop is only VR related

[PLUTON]

Hello I don't know if the drop in performance comes from ED but for my part I did not notice any drop in performance on the map of Syria I would just say a little more fluid than before.

[Eugel]

I only fly in VR as well and I didn´t notice any performance changes from the last update (neither negative nor positive).

Hi destroyers!
"Add damage models to objects" - this was one of the most popular requests for the Syria map.
The peculiarity of modern buildings is that they are large in size or height. To make the destruction look more or less realistic, we divided large objects into parts and made a separate "damage" for each. When technology allows, we will be happy to make fully destructible building models. but already now you can diversify your flight missions thanks to this update

You know that we do not do for some unique objects of the destruction model, but there were so many requests that demags are now available for the original objects - the terminals of Beirut, Damascus, Aleppo, Gaziantep, Paphos, Nicosia, Adana Hilton, Sheraton Adana, Haifa Tower hotels Panorama, Haifa Tower Sail, Damascus Tower, Limassol Olympic Residence, Platinum Tower Beirut, Sama Beirut, Assad Palace, Haifa Cooling Tower, Aleppo Power Plant and La Farge Factory.

In addition to the damage, we have optimized night lighting and optimized city blocks, so that all the additions will definitely not degrade your performance.

While your plane is being prepared, check out the pictures

Awesome, will the Normandy 2.0 map have the same feature?

Great job and well done to Ugra media team.
That is a really quick fix response to the complains about performance issues after the recent patch.
The damage models to buildings and structures is a big step forward.
