Yeah, I’ve found a way to configure things so it’s enjoyable, but it pushes the limits (mostly memory) to the edge. If they add more stuff?

I’ve personally held off from buying it because of the negative reports like @smokinhole mentioned.
I am looking forward to trying it though. Especially the Ramat David area.

I’m having extremely localized issues with Syria. Being in VR while being in certain hangars (those at Incirlik especially) gives abysmal performance but the moment I taxi out the FPS becomes reasonable and once in the air properly it becomes absolutely fine. Even in multiplayer with complicated missions that come from the hands of Franze and Wes.

You aren’t alone in that. I’m in 2D (albeit with the settings tuned near the top / 1070TI) and when I spawn in Trivial Perplexion in an RCAF Hornet at Incirlik I can see 18-30FPS until I get away from the hangar area.

Fire Cube spawning at the still modern but relatively more austere Bassel Al-Assad, I haven’t bothered to check frame rate as it’s been pretty smooth.

I highly recommend it, hands down the best map in my opinion.

Yup, its a great map. It just takes a little more VRAM than the others.

I do worry my old R295x2 is going to tell me to get a grip soon.

It was a shame that ED never updated their A-10C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign for the updated A-10C II capabilities - it seems like the 3rd parties support their campaigns better for updates/fixes.

The Flaming Cliffs one has been out a bit (2014?) so not really surprised about that. For the new Warthog II upgrade I just sort of lacked things to do with it, so a campaign update would have been nice for Red Flag. I guess I could edit it in the mission editor, although if it’s a paid campaign then it might be locked down?

Cant wait for 2.7 to drop. The new clouds look so good.
