What is Pro maps for Patreons option?

[Cowboy10uk]

So on the latest preview option, Tricker goes through showing off the map on the kneeboard and the various different map options you can choose, from the normal DCS F10 map, to google maps etc.   if you pause and zoom in to see all the map options and there are quite a few which is impressive.
 

  One of them is pro maps for Patreon.

Im rather intrigued at what the pro map will bring to the party, as the normal maps shown that appear to be included normally already look stunning.

 

I was wondering if you guys could tell us what the difference between the normal and pro maps will be, and if course the monthly Patreon subscription cost you are looking at for access to it?
 

Very sorry for the forthcoming meltdown that will likely happen, as it’s the first time something has been essentially locked behind a paywall in DCS.

But it’s gonna happen now or on release, so you might as well get it over with.

It is DCS web viewer (a 3rd party addon ) that ASC seems to have added by default to their popup. 

As a 3rd party, they offer Patreon as a way to support them and it give you various additional benefits.
You can use it now already in Heatblur's ingame browser, OpenKneeboard, etc.

To be 100% clear: the map/editor will be free and included with the plane, and well also be removing the branding. 

This ZERO subscription/ongoing cost to this module.  Not optionally, not required. None, whatsoever.

Yes don't worry there won't be a subscription. I just used the default version in the C-130 for testing.

Thankyou for the quick reply.     Saves me planning for a Patreon cost as well then.    I wasn’t complaining about it by the way, was just hoping for more info to see if the pro maps stated would be something worth getting.

 

sorry had no idea that the pop out was a 3rd party product, as I’ve never seen it before.

Intresting, Thankyou for the answer. Had no idea that this was from another 3rd party as I’ve never seen this interface before apart from within the Herc.
 

Must admit it looks good, so I’m off to see if it’s worth adding to my other modules. 

As this has now been answered very clearly.    Can a Moderator lock it down to any more comments.     It’s good to keep the answer clear here in case anyone else spots it and becomes intrigued. But now they will get the answer with a quick search.
