That's not true at all. As stated above, the update in October included some Kola action.

 

Not sure why some make a hobby of throwing hate on the Kola map. It's curious and seems highly contrived.

 

From October 22nd, one whole month ago.

At this point what we really need is more quality mesh and textures...

 

we? .. I am satisfied that the map exists at all, my wish would be to have the map extended to include a bit more of the Baltic sea, but I am happy with it even if my wish is never granted

Hello!

I must say that I REALLY like this map!😊

I am looking forward to future updates.

I do not regret this purchase! Quite the contrary!

 

I would really like to se that the control tower at Luleå/Kallax/F21 looks more like the real thing as well as the tower at Vidsel.

(I have attches a couple of pictures of the towers at Luleå and Vidsel picture on top is the tower at Vidsel and the other two is the tower at Luleå/kallax).

I also do wish that the "unreal" ramp at Jokkmokk airbase was removed.

 

Other tha that I think this map looks really great efter the recent updates.

The vast forests and lakes and montains (Fjällen) are very beutifully created.

Keep up the good work ORBX!

 

 

Best regards:

Otulf

Hello again!😊

While I am at it another request for the future:

Bridges in the Luleå area.

The new Pikes bay-bridge (not sure if the translation is correct?)🤔 "nya gäddviksbron" looks like the real one!

Well done ORBX!

The old Pikes bay-bridge "gamla Gäddviksbron" looks a bit different in real life.

Also Bergnäsbron looks a bit different in the real life.

 

I have attached a few pictures of the bridges and map of the actual area.

 

Best regards:

Otulf

I’m also satisfied with the map as it is now, even though we miss at least 10 airports in Norway.
A bit better textures would be welcome though.

Thank goodness for the try and buy, it saved me a few bucks on this one.  The terrain texturing is the most monotonous of any map.  Winter is abysmal, clusters of black uniform dots everywhere laced in the snow, what are they, burnt in tree shadows without trees?

I have no clue how winters are in North Dakota, but last time I played the map, the winter was pretty much spot on compared to how it is here in Norway. What's wrong though, is that there is no ice. And I'm pretty sure that it is a engine limitation, and have been requested many times. We have 300Ks of small "lakes" here in Norway, and my guess is that's what you saw, especially if you were high up.

Now that the SA map seems to be pretty much done, I'm sure the focus will be on this map. Come back in a few years! 😉

Cheers! 🍻

I just love the map. Hopping in my Mudhen and do some low level runs with 600kts through the fjords when the sun rises. Add a few clouds and fog so its dark down in the valley and when you pull out of it the suns comes over the ridges and clouds. Yummy! What a blast! Well done from me!!

Also loving the powerlines that crosses the fjordes here and there. Nasty but keeps your attention upfront 😬

Not great, not terrible.
-Need to fill in the rivers.
Should not be to much work to add the towns of Norway, as they are nowhere near a megapolis.

Now that the SA map is "done". I'm sure we'll get some awesome updates next year. Wish they could invent real ice for the lakes and fjords for the winter textures.
