Bought the full map, just done some of the included F-16 missions. Absolutely loving the map, especially knowing the history there's an inescapable gravity - and it looks absolutely gorgeous. (Top spec pc, triple 32s).
This new way of selling the maps was something we thought might help those in parts of the world who are not able to afford the entire map. The entire map will be the biggest map in DCS when done. Just owning one section will be more than enough for some people to enjoy. It may not work out, and we may go back to just selling the whole map, but we wanted to try and many have purchased just the SW.
So far, my experience on a high end system is, this was another map rushed out to market. It looks stunning in some areas and awful in others. (I’m only talking about the Southwest detailed area). The map has some serious performance issues in some areas as well when flying at treetop level in any of the helicopters. Most of the mountains look un textured with too many straight lines. I know they keep denying it but I truly wonder about the financial situation of ED when they keep rushing these things out which they have no choice in due to loving the pre-order sales. I hope it improves. I skipped Kola due to this.
Nope, no financial issues at all, and the map is Early Access and it's an absolutely huge map, it will end up being one of the biggest when it's done. Something to keep in mind as well there are a ton of customers who have spent real time here, and getting their feedback and reports during EA will only make it that much better.
Looks good, but so few players. We would need active mission maps where AI would attack so land as air so it would keep interest on even if just few players in a server. It would be time to concentrate to AI mission packages.
Agreed. Unfortunately, that comes down to the mission makers for now. Hopefully the dynamic campaign comes along some day. That should help with the emptiness.
Personally...... Very disappointing map. Yes, it's Afghanistan..... Can't change geography. But I feel the textures are very poor, low res very similar to initial (and up until this release patch) south Atlantic map. Kola is the same. Very laggy, lots of small bugs. But... Tbh, this style of release has Beccome common place. I know why..... I don't like it, and it needs to stop. Ed......help Fund the developers until a polished full product is ready. Sell the product and deduct your pre funding and your agreed profit. This releasing dogshit and then fixing it over a year and a half is more damaging than beneficial I think.
I jumped to this map with F-16 free flight instant mission, and couldn't handle my plane. On other maps F-16 is stable, but here is total mess. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Maps, maps, maps,... and new half finished models... what about the core game??? Meanwhile I enjoy BMS for 5 Dollars and an amazing ATC and 90 fps in VR.. 😊
@@RaptorRising Didn't mean to be divisive. I enjoy both. But I am disappointed how such an amount of money and human ressources can't at least keep up with core mechanics of DCS. Just has the bad taste of a StarCitizen-like philosophy.

Yeah, the detailed parts look good. Huge area too

General theme is that none of the maps at release in DCS are worth it.
Great looking map.
I believe its worth what I paid-pre release. It cost as much as two footlongs at Subway so wtf?
100%. I feel like I'm going to get a lot of hours out of this map
Great video! I like your editing style and of course I slammed the sub button. Keep it coming. Thanks
Looks nice, i prefer the Kola map, as it is closer to home
Great video. Just purchased and downloading now. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Still undecided if to get it or not, however I know once the chinook is out mixed with this I will have to buy it!
Don't, the ground textures are so horrible. Map looks great from 10k but down low it is terrible.
Coming soon - Micro transaction fuel and weapons!
This isn't warthunder.

Dang, NineLine you found my little ol RUclips channel! Thanks for stopping by. Really good update to 2.9.6. Looking forward to the Hook!
@@RaptorRising Great video! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video…. Looks a lot like the real Afghanistan. What mission were you flying?
Just something I threw together - I used one of the instant action missions as a template and put my own twist on it 🙂
Was on the fence about buying it. Glad I didn't now.

You know only the south west has detail atm?

@@jep1103 Did you actually read me comment or just jump to white knight? I clearly said I was only talking about the SW and I even put it in brackets!

👍👍
Or stop buying the maps as soonas they come out…

That's really weird - I didn't notice anything weird on my end

Why can't people enjoy both? I don't get why things have to be so divisive.

no, it's not worth it, yes, bored people with money will buy it.
This is very hard to watch with the unstabilized VR recording. Nausiating.
It is what it is with VR. The G2 is jittery, and believe it or not, this is after motion stabilization is applied. 🤷
Really enjoyed watching it on my S21 Ultra phone. Looked awesome I thought. Was already subscribed, but made sure the bell was checked .. and it was 😅
