You can take off and land the Phantom from Ushi Airport very easily. I know because I have done it. The largest airfields are Agana and Orote in the south of the map. 2 |Motherboard|: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS, |WaterCooler|: Corsair H115i Pro, |CPU|: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, |RAM|: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200MHz DDR4, |SSD|: Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe, |SSD|: Kingston 2.5´ 480GB UV400 SATA III, |SSHD|: Seagate Híbrido 2TB 7200RPM SATA III, |GPU|: MSI Gaming 980Ti, |Monitor|: LG UltraWide 34UM68, |Joystick 1|: Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog, |Joystick 2|: T.Flight Rudder Pedals, |Head Motion|: TrackIr 5.
Czar66 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Great first impressions, but it desperately needs the Japanese WWII fighters in the sim even if it is AI only. Ironically, it is currently more fitting to Vietnam scenarios than WWII atm. 3

Andrew8604 Posted June 21 Posted June 21 14 hours ago, BIGNEWY said: Yep its great for that Vietnam feeling. Can't ED or a 3rd-party do a Vietnam Theater Map - 1968-ish, even as an interim with this level of vegetation? I say "Vietnam Theater" because it "should" cover a lot of Thailand and Laos, too. I suppose that may be a 150 GB+ map, though! Takhli, Korat, Ubon, Udorn, and Nakhon Phanom are all in Thailand. The F-4E, F-100D, A-1H, A-7E, A-6E, A-4E-C, MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21 will all find homes on that map. ...coming in 2027? Then enhance the vegetation later. But right now, I'm going to try to get this Marianas WWII map and the F4U-1D!!

Qcumber Posted June 22 Posted June 22 (edited) My impressions of this map after flying for a while is that it simply looks great. I am not noticing any significant differences in terms of FPS compared to the modern map. But FPS below VR headset refresh is much smoother for some reason. So the overall experience is much better.

Esac_mirmidon Posted June 22 Posted June 22 In my case there are terrible stutters flying low over Guam. Other islands doesnt have so may forest and trees and are better, but Guam is a Stutter festival, terrible FPS flying low. 2 " You must think in russian.."

Edit: after more testing there is no difference between maps. I have compared tracks on Marianas WWII and modern with an FU4 flying over Guam. FPS is 72 over sea at 6000ft. Moving closer to land FPS drops to about 60 FPS. At lower altitude it drops to 45-50 FPS with ground stutter. WWII Marianas looks great, and I am very pleased that it has been released, but for me there is no performance improvement. Update (25 June 25): I am finding that performance is better for me in VR without using QVFR. I need to do more testing.

MigratoryBird Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Visually I am very happy with the new Marianas WWII map ! Thanks ED ! really immersive ! Initial impressions seem to indicate dropping FPS quite a lot when flying low and over the trees......

Qcumber Posted June 25 Posted June 25 There seems to be a performance hit below about 2000ft; FPS drops to about 50-65. Above this I can maintain a steady 72 FPS (VR).

Slippa Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Nice. You’ll have to put it all together as a ‘railway assets pack’ and post em in user files. Good to have the choice. Glad they sorted the rails out eventually . 1 1

Slippa Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I had a quick look. Somehow I had two locos that were going forward and backing up a bit, then repeating it. Was quite amusing and probably something I’d messed up but there’s plenty to look at next time. Well done for building em all. 1 1
PeeJott17 Posted July 10 Posted July 10 On 6/20/2025 at 1:27 PM, BIGNEWY said: Not that I am aware of sorry, but a work around is to have air start for scenarios. It would be awesome to have a little feature in the Future to have the 4500ft and longer runways in a 1960'ish style? More straight and with tarmac? Would be the closest to a Vietnam feeling and even enhance the feeling and the value of the map (usability wise) And with the right Tools not too much work, I guess 2
