DCS New Map Announced - Kola Peninsula

Ugh yeah I was hoping this wouldn’t be the case. Who needs more hubs/launchers/tools on their PC?

At least they didn’t wait till Friday to put that up.

edit - oh wait actually peeking over to the DCS forums it looks like someone already asked about that and (per the ORBX discord) you don’t actually need central, that language was just ‘left over from the template’ and they’re going to remove it.

Uhm, so even the promotional page is sloppy…

Quite interested in a terrain with actual season again, especially if it has the new generation of night lighting. But I have to admit I’m on a solid hold on this one until it’s in the wild for a time. I need to see what the reviews are before I break out the wallet.

Aren’t they also releasing it in the ED shop like a regular map?

That would make a lot of sense and be much less confusing on release.

HIP also reported that you buy Kola just like any other DCS module.

It will be 140 GB. That is going to be a long download…

Should be loaded in about 20min if it’s delivered uncompressed :sweat_smile:

104gb to suck down, 156 when uncompressed. That’ll take a while. And of course I’m on a date tonight with mrs schurem. Because why not.

Lol, a 4TB is more likely if these DCS updates and modules get any larger.

I’ve actually been finding myself looking at those right now…

And yes, download speed for me is also slower than cold molasses in January.

Murmansk airport, end of the flight for my Huey:

No more fuel in the tank:

I started from Lakselv, Norway, first flew south and then east to Murmansk … two hours flight :smiley: Got company by a Hip, that will need to lift me to the next fuel station now …

I’ll be back with another, shorter stream. This time looking at Norway, flying an F-16C. Maybe a ~30min flight. Should be up in about 15-20min

Edit: Stream should be up in a few minutes:
