Re: Sinai map
I am.
I own the Mig 15 and the Sabre. I would love to do some Korea stuff, too. But certainly would be interest in some 70's early 80's conflict stuff that would justify the use of the Mirage 2000C and other limited aircraft. Definitely would get the F4 for a Vietnam or Sinai campaign.

Re: Sinai map
I will definitely buy the Sinai map when it's available.

Re: Sinai map
While I don't get every plane or helo that comes along, I get almost every map because of their universal use.
I can't imagine I won't be getting Sinai!

Re: Sinai map
Geographically/terrain wise though Sinai isn't much different from Syria. ;-)

Re: Sinai map
Can you imagine the type of computing power you will need to run missions on a huge map like that?

Re: Sinai map
Sorry I missed last night. My wife car acting up and I got home at 9 in time to have to go leave it at the shop and got home even later. I hate Buicks.
Love your double negatives Jedi. I still can't tell if you're getting the map or not haha. I will get it.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Sinai map
Buicks? Those things are still around? I thought only people over the age of like 60 bought them? ;-)

Re: Sinai map
ED has said they plan for exactly that to happen at some point. However, they will need to do some re-architecture of DCS to support that. The client obviously would not be able to load the whole planet at once. It would have to load only a region of data relevant to where the player is. Typically you would device the world into sectors and load nearby sectors. As you move across the currently loaded sectors, you asynchronously load in nearby sectors as you get near them and unload sectors on the opposite side that you are moving away from. If you think about sims that have the entire planet, like Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane, this is exactly what they do. In the case of Microsoft Flight Simulator, it's also downloading and caching data from the Internet as you are moving across the planet. You never have the entire planet on your machine - it's only loading areas you are interacting with. As you move to a new area, it starts streaming (i.e. downloading) data for that area. The sim probably has some base data for the entire planet, but then loads in and caches more detailed data for where you are.PanzerMeyer wrote: ↑16 May 2023, 03:33Can you imagine the type of computing power you will need to run missions on a huge map like that?
I see DCS probably going towards that kind of model if they ever want to implement the entire world and allow a player to fly continuously from region to region.
