It's way better than the other desert maps, and it runs very well. 

Can't say, I haven't tried Iraq or Afghanistan yet, do you own them? I thought Persian Gulf ran pretty good, I don't really notice much difference to be honest.

No, I own Sinai and Persian Gulf. PG is a nice map but it doesn't have the variety Siria has. And Sinai, well I bought day one and it was half baked for more than a year. Now it's in a decent state, but I won't be buying OnReTech maps anymore.

Iraq of Afghanistan maybe down the line when they're in a better shape. There is considerable map fatigue in any case.

I agree regarding the map fatigue and OnReTech but it looks like a Balkans map and Caucasus update is in the works so things might get a bit interesting. Not expecting much from the OnReTech Balkans map but I'll keep hope alive. Now a Caucasus rework would be very welcome as long as ED doesn't screw it up. Cold War Germany is great but pretty flat like Normandy. Speaking of Normandy, it's a really beautiful map even for modern aircraft and runs well, though lacking in modern realism is a turn off for some. I really do wish there were more populated servers besides Caucasus and Syria though.

Anyone know what he's referring to regarding an update of the Caucasus map?

Probably to this video where Wags promises to remake it eventually.

Aaaaah, the "definitely not this year" might have led someone to believe "That means some time soon? Cool!" 😂

Thanks for the link, I'd already forgotten Wags had mentioned that. 👍

Hi,
Because it's one of the most beautiful maps in DCS. And because it offers a lot of potential: You have Syria, Cyprus, a small part of Turkey, Lebanon, and a small part of Israel. You can do a lot with that.

It's actually got the majority of Israel, only the southern part is missing. The part of Turkey it has is not small, either, it's got a huge hunk of Turkish land in the north.
