How two Afghanistan maps will works in multiplayer?

[Maverick87Shaka]

Dear ED,
I would like to know what if the plan on how the recently announced Afghanistan map will works in multiplayer, if the two different version interact between each other in someway.
So basically, the server can host the full map Afghanistan Map, and people will be able to join even only the Southwest part of the map ( and they will be "confined" in terms of visible details, usable items/airfield, or they will be manages as complete and different map?
Please also address, in case of two different products that they not interact, if the dedicated server have to download two time the map ( full and only the southwest) and keep occupied double the storage of the Southwest part?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Just realized that now and during early access they are only two, the complete project will be composed by 3 different region?
Question is the same, but just "amplified" at this point.

They clearly stated that in the FAQ. It will work as Normandy. Server downloads the whole map and everyone can join. The ones who doesn't want to purchase the whole map, will else fly in low-res areas.

Thanks for the update, I missed the FAQ.
Good to know.

For people that comes here to get info, this is the statement on the faq:

Can I Fly with Friends or on Servers if We Have Mismatching Regions of DCS: Afghanistan?

Yes, you are all flying the same map and will be able to fly together without issue but the detail that each of you sees will differ. Remember that by purchasing individual regions you are curating the areas of the map that you wish to see in high detail. Those who purchase the whole map will see the whole map in high detail as and when each region becomes available and receives updates during the Early Access phase.
 

Will I Have Multiple Maps if I Purchase Individual Regions?

No. All purchases give access to one map and individually owned regions dictate what you see in high detail within that map. If, for example, you own both DCS: Southwest Afghanistan and DCS: East Afghanistan, you will see both of those regions in high detail and only DCS: North Afghanistan will be in low detail.

So the server will download just one map, run a mission technically on the whole area, everyone can join, but they will see different level of details according to what they have bought. Thanks
