Just don’t go to Jerusalem, the city is unrecognisable. Cairo, Port Said and the Suez Canal are great though

Sounds like the fact I have never been to Jerusalem would work in my favor.

Well there are absolutely no landmarks represented. It looks like a random auto generated backwater town on the map.

The devs have stated that the map will be released in 3 stages and that work will continue on Jerusalem and other cities as well.

Also this is the Link to the Updated Mudspike Hornet Liveries for anyone that wants them.
Since they are Mudspike.com Centric, they weren’t posted on the ED Site:

I just had a bit of a fly in the gazelle. It’s much better. Huey too by the way. But the gaz. There’s still a couple transitions that feel like some system kicking in, like hard-edged transitions in the way the thing reacts to the controls. Either way, it’s a fun, light chopper, and it’s now eminently controllable. Squirrely, but that’s how it should be, and no longer stupidly overpowered.
If anyone still is on the fence on that baby due to the flight model kerfluffle, get off it, get that bird. It’s the closest DCS has to a little bird.
For some reason I couldn’t get my ground crew to load my bird with two 20mm cannon like shown in the vid. Perhaps a little bug that crept in?

I thought you could only have one 20mm and that was on the pilots side … and have you tried the new periscope sight in VR … it works really well, you have to move your head as though you are looking through it

That sounds cool… I do love using the radar hood in the F1!

Hey y’all, I have a questions about units in DCS.
I found an interesting article about the British assault to Mount Harriet in the Falklands (back in the '82) and I was trying to recreate something of the sort in DCS.
To my dismay I noticed that there’s literally no British units in the database?!
You either have WWII infantry or… well nothing.
I mean no APC, no IFV, only a tank and some AAA or Shoulder SAM.
Is there anything out there that’s actually a decent user made downloadable Database for 80s/90s units?

The only things I’ve seen are the LandRover 110 and Rapier units for Iran (I think) that came with one of the terrains - PG I think.
Yeah dunno, it’s pretty sad…
EDIT: OOOH WAIT! Wasn’t Razbam going to release also a unit pack for the South Atlantic map?
EDIT2: Uhm, it will not include infantry it seems

Sounds like you want a more authentic experience? You’re likely going to have to do it yourself.
Lousy answer, yes, but I see nothing changing for the “World” part of DCS World. That is: if I, me personally, want something beyond a contextually empty – but pretty! (can’t forget the shiny things) – sandbox (with pyramids even!), well, it was gong to be a DIY affair…
Took me years [DCS time] to realize this.

Just spent several days trying to line up 2 points on a map…by revisiting that grade school trig’ class (that I nearly slept through - “who needs this stuff?” I probably said)…in a custom UI desktop app…after teaching myself how to 'code - in 2 different languages!..to provide a better briefing…to support a more ‘lively’ - and authentic- single player experience…after earning my DCS database merit badge…scratching out work arounds and compensations for missing features/support…etc, etc…but hey! I have a new hobby now
[mini-rant/]
Not DCS related - or is it? - but me and this guy may be kindred spirits (maybe cus we’re old, and our memories are still [mostly] intact):
In the end not enough people agree with his/mine/our desires == are willing to pay for those features.
So, I’ve been of no help at all.

Uhm…
What do you think I was asking? No offence but either my english is really bad at writing my original post or in understanding your answer.
Heres what emphasis I would do. Give up on authenticity for now and reach out to Razbam. Because whether they like it or not, they now own the semi-modern British space. In order for the Falklands to work, they will need a full set of period British units. Your English is better than 80% of the native speakers on this forum; including me certainly.

To my knowledge what you’d like isn’t there. You will have to create it yourself. The rest wasn’t directed at you, I was just venting (been frustrating trying to create my own solution lately).
I’ve been pondering something along these lines lately…I want to use that map.
What about a 1990’s-ish Falkland’s revisited thing? Falkland’s V2, Ten years later? Coming up with a narrative, that is plausible, is the trick. ChatGPT were are you?
I just want some more soldiers… There’s just US ones essentially- and OPFOR.
Shame.
I don’t think it’s supposed to be Razbam doing them…
I mean- no need to go full ARMA on them, just copypaste those few models. tweak the uniforms, maybe… uhm. Wait. Maybe I could really do it…

With you art skills and sim development experience? Nope. You bring nothing to the table.

Using Google (I have better luck with that than the ED search tool) I found this:
It’s not too old but might get you started; look at the supporting lua files. If you need help I may be able to provide a little (models and reskinning not my area but I understand the ‘lua’ bits a little).
PS: I have no idea what you know about all this stuff.

ROFLMAO, for a split millisecond I almost felt offended.
