I apologize if I upset anyone.

My comments were meant as constructive feedback and definitely not as a slander on anyones work.

Over and out.

Its not about bashing anyone or anything, I think everyone on these forums, including me, love the effort that ED puts into their products. I have bought every ED product since the original Flanker, and I will continue buying everything they release. I was merely stating that I think its about time that they update the sceneries, just like they have started to update the aircraft models.

Of course good graphics are important for the immersion, but since there are limited development sources, it's the question what to focus on. That said, I like the statement of one of the developers of the racing simulation 'Live for Speed', basically stating: "We want to develop a simulation, not a screenshot generator" :-). Looking at DCS's screenshots, I think they do a pretty good job for such a detailed simulation.

LOL I live here and in real life the terrain is ugly :)

Do they have Indian Springs Modeled in the Nellis ranges?

[mvsgas]

Nellis Map was removed in Beta 3 AFAIK, so I'm not sure in Indian Springs is modeled

[bradleyjs]

Anyone know why the removed the Nevada map?

 

I can only assume it's being heavily reworked - so they didn't want us to complain about it ...

[MTFDarkEagle]

It's being worked on ;)

[ACUTech]

My opinion is they could've just left Nevada "as is" in BETA 3 and subsequent releases while still working on it on their end, and then release a final update once completed...

 

Would've made more sense to me then just remove it. Try taking back a candy you just gave to your 5yo... ;)

My guess is it's going to be a pay add-on for everyone that didn't pre-order.

For a beta product that would be acceptable, but for a retail product it's not.

 

It was clear the map wouldn't be finished by retail so rather than leave in an unfinished and buggy map and take away resources from finishing the rest of the product they wisely removed it entirely and deferred development on it till a time when they'd have more resources for it without adversely affecting the rest of the game.

Bah I know all that but... I still wanted to keep it :D

[T-Bone]

BUMP!

 

LB9,

 

What is the latest news on the Nev. Theater? Will it be available in Beta 4/5/6, etc?

 

Has ED been able to find a solution for the color clashing issues and texture blending?

 

Will the new terrain tools be released soon?

 

Thanks,

T-Bone

[luckybob9]

Still in progress.

 

No clue on terrain tools. Sorry.

SPACE PROBE NUMBER 1

 

Any UFOs over groom lake?;)

 

I think that would be an awesome idea! How hard would it be to model a flying saucer and skin it as a new UFO aircraft for the Nevada map? The Air Force already has one at Groom Lake see Wikileaks photos below. Make it insanely fast...faster then a missle, so it would be hard to take down, or impossible to shoot down because of the advanced shield technology. (no damage model needed):thumbup: It would make a cool drone type target. It's not too late! It's still a WIP. :music_whistling:
