DCS: Syria

There is a trigger action to remove certain map elements. I haven’t tried it but it works in a similar way to the destruction in zone.

Scenery details factor and forest details factor sliders have been added in 2.7 and they work pretty amazing for me. You can even move them while in-game

Strike Fighters had a fictional mideast terrain for its first release.
I never felt it was inferior in any way to the “real” terrains.

So much this.

What a nice evening! First look at Syria map for me.

Little pleasure flight past Tripoli, picked up the NDB (using my new morse code skill, oh man is that less of a PITA now) to akrotiri, touch and go and then had a real close look at Ayia Napa and was surprised to see the water park and the fair all modelled. Landed back at Akrotiri and refuelled for a longer flight over to Al assad and a good peek at Damascus.
What a fantastic map. I’m super impressed. I’ve always enjoyed Caucasus because it’s so familiar and PG because I know the rough points of it pretty well, but this is far superior to both.
I landed the herc at Akrotiri and that felt pretty damn cool.
The Sabre is a bit out of place on this map but it just loves being flown so that’s what I used for the tour.
I’m thinking a good Hind session and possibly a mig 19 or 21 as well if I can remember to start binding controls.

Glad I got the map. Its very much worth the cash if anyone is on the fence. Loads to explore. I’ve barely scratched the surface. Cyprus is full of little places I want to see.

I remember the first time I flew over Cyprus…A 10 min flight took over an hr because I kept hovering over places that my eyes couldn’t believe…I’m floored by the detail.

I got it early access and loved it. The addition of Cyprus and expansion of Turkey to the North was brilliant. I have really only been sightseeing except for a couple of scenarios I created.
Tbh though I fly the channel a lot in the mossie as I have major time constraints and yesterday had my first free half hour in over a week and spent 20 minutes in mossie and 10 minutes in the hind.

Looks like Urga is adding a couple more airfields and more optimization to the Syria map. I gotta say that Urga has blown me away with their quality and updates for all of their maps.

That’s good! I have spent more time at Syria lately than the other maps, I’m giving it a break for now.
