Marina Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 (edited) Here is what you can expect: Two new airports: Bardufoss (ENDU) and Kittila (EFKT). Additional towns and villages surrounding the new airfields. Enhanced low-level terrain visuals. Optimization pass of several urban and industrial blocks. TACAN placed at Andoya, as requested.

ShinyMikey Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 My group and I are big fans of the Kola map! I've been waiting for Bardufoss, great news! 3
Weasel Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Thanks a lot and nice to see we get some official news and updates on the DCS Forum. Looks great! 3
F4ttyRider Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 EFKT is Kittilä, not Kattila. 2 1 Win10, HP Reverb G2,
Ztorm Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Nice! Will the roadbase be included? Also will the big Apron at Jokkmokk be removed as its not accurate? 4
Mr_sukebe Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Should we expect the frequencies for ATC at existing airfields to potentially change again? If they do, would you please be kind to enough to advise which do change, such that I can update my kneeboards, without checking every airfield. 4 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

I to want to know if the big Apron at Jokkmokk will be removed. And the short runways are way to wide. Its horrible, I dont understand why they decided to mess up a base they already had done quite ok. 2

Hey @Fisherman82 We added the apron to help with AI functionality because planes were running into some trouble without it They’d sometimes face pathing issues, causing traffic jams on the airfield where nothing could take off, or even run out of fuel while taxiing from the farthest parking spot to the runway. To fix this, we wanted to create a solution that didn’t take away too many parking spots. The apron was designed to make things run smoother while keeping the airfield intact.

flecktyphus Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Is there any particular reason why the last airports to drop only receive their TACAN beacons several updates later? 2.9.9.2280 adds Andøya sans TACAN. 2.9.11.4686 adds TACAN for Andøya, adds Bardufoss sans TACAN. What is the logic here..? I am happy we receive frequent updates but it is lost on me why we must go 1-2 months between an airbase's addition and when it receives TACAN... Best regards, radio navigator... who is still bitter that Orbx promised aurora borealis as a feature on Kola, and now says it's up to ED to add it.

Blinde Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 (edited) I appreciate the twisted humor of the developers but this rusted barrel monster is hardly the memorial Draken that it should be in EFKT Kittilä. Edited December 28, 2024 by Blinde 3
flecktyphus Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Andøya also missing ILS, is this coming anytime soon? 1
