Is your install on an SSD drive?
It is. But Iām also running a GTX 680 that @WreckingCrew was kind enough to hook me up with. Hoping prices come down just a little bit more to pick up a newer card soon.
The mining boom is starting to subside, with some cards dropping in price up to 30%. Shouldnāt be too long now that we are done with this madness.
The boom is gone. There is only watching for sales now -
1070 Ti for $479

Those are as close to retail as they are going to get short of particular card sales. Time to get in on a better card for the Hornet.
Good to know. Iām on 16GB Ram with a 1080ti.
Iāve been watching very, very closely, believe me. Soonā¦ Because lawyers are expensive.
My personal opinion is this is the best map by far. It is like playing Arma 3 with hi fidelity aircraft. I hope the CA package will be worked on to take advantage of the map
Keep up the good work Norm
For me the best thing about the Persian Gulf is the different types of airports. Much more variety, not only in terms of size but in different categories of runways. I had some legitimate concerns about the runway length when landing my Harrier on one of the fortified islands
Iām afraid that itās going to be a geography lesson for me, which is a good thing. Iāve not had the pleasure of a visit, not studied the area, or had the inclination to visit. Mom and did have some good stories of escaping the MD/Boeing compound in Riyadh for some RnR in Dubai. After a brief DCS tour and reading about the UAE on Wikipedia, I must say thatās its fascinating.
One thing is for sure, @near_blind is ecstatic over having a playground for his beloved Tomcat.
I am hoping for a.nice new helicopter base for the 229th on the island with the really small strip. With a map like this some small GA planes would be nice
Completely agree. Iād love a little military/civil cargo plane for logistics. Caravan or C212 CASA or somethingā¦
You guys aware the civil aircraft mod has a flyable Cessna?
Never heard of itā¦LOLā¦

Pretty much what it says on the tin (we really need dedicated greenfor and civilian coalitions ala Arma)
I was interested until I saw the cockpit for their Cessnaā¦ Iāll pass
Who wants a Cessna when you can have this :
Little update on my struggles:
I havenāt changed anything yet, just tried to narrow down what might cause the crash. And it really seems to be something specific for the Persian Gulf map.
It seems it does not depend on the plane or the mission time, or the number of map objects near the player.
I tried circling over Bandar Abbas (su25t free flight) for several minutes at 500m altitude, looking and zooming toward the ground, with and without timewarp and all that, and FPS remained stable.
As soon as I fly below ~300m the sim instantly crashes.
I tried the same over empty desert/water (the TF-51 free flight) and it is the same. Everything is fine regardless how long or short I do it, whether there is grass or houses or anything else near or not. Altitude seems to be the only factor that matters.
I tried the same in the Caucasus (free flight TF-51 over Tbilisi) and the crash doesnāt happen. In fact as far as I remember my FPS have never been as good over the big cities than in this version, so good job ED!
It is just the Persian Gulf Map that crashes.
At some point at the weekend Iāll take a look at the logs and see if I notice something weird.
Iāll also try to set settings to lower, turn off grass and the like (although I am pretty sure thatās not the reason, the grass is the same in the Caucasus I guess, and it looks great btw. )
95% chance itās related to hardware and settings. As you get closer to the ground, the detail changes to a much higher resolution textures.
Someone else had this problem when flying around 800ft. Probably the point at which the mesh changes.
Set everything to lowest and see if it happens.
you done a repair? tried reinstalling the thing?
