Map scenery

[Silvester.E]

Hi,

My wish and hope is that the Iraq map will be made on the old way like Marinnas, Nevada, Sinai and Syria.
 

Hope the terrain textures will not be like SA, Kola and Afghanistan. 
 

I understand and respect when other people like the more MSFS, FS2004, BMS global scenery, i just don’t. 
 

The problem i am having with this new technology is that there is no depth low level. Been to Iraq and Afghanistan myself during deployments and i can tell you there is hardly flat terrain even if it’s just a difference between 1/2 meter. 
 

Yes, from high up it all looks great, but low level this scenery becomes flat and there is no depth anymore. 
 

Amazing

Are these pictures in the areas that are not detailed yet? 

If what is in these pictures are the final product, I just can't see myself paying money for something like this.

Agree, we need true slopes nit just images

I think this "new terrain tech" ED is marketing lately is the outcome of work for the DCS Earth project.  This is going to be the "new" DCS. Larger maps are only possible by doing this kind of scenery tricks, so that it is profitable. 

I don't like it, I wish Marianas was the "new tech" but I also understand it is unrealistic to expect that level of detail in terrains that span such a large areas. 

I was very disappointed with DCS Afghanistan when flying COIN missions in DCS AH-64D module, I switched to Hornet and Viper and the Afghanistan looks great at high altitudes when doing A/A or stand off weapons deployment.

We should wait for the finished product to judge "how it looks" and make assumptions on the "new DCS".

Especially if judging of a heavily WIP early access product.
