NEVADA TEST AND TRAINING RANGE MAP FOR DCS WORLD 2 #5645
Nice find! Thanks Vampyre, downloading now.

I don't know if that video just didn't show them from the right perspective or something, but they seem like they're all much lower quality than the existing airfields. Like they just painted the existing textures that were part of the ground a little darker and made it more defined. Will have to wait and see how it looks in-game.

This is going to be the longest day of work ever! Can anyone post a picture of the map layout so I can day dream about my next mission build for the next 7 hours?

It's an expansion pack that we have to pay for?

Whatever... I was planning on doing some flying again but looks like I'm locked behind yet another paywall.

Good grief. I started reading this thread at the beginning, thinking it was new...



Anyways, yeah the new airports look really low-res.

Where did you see that you pay for it Runny?

"Today we will be releasing the next update to DCS World 2.0, version 2.0.4. The primary addition to this update is the inclusion of the Extension Pack for the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. This extension includes 13 new airfields and several new cities and towns. One of the new airfields is Tonopah Test and Training Range airfield, that was home to the “Red Eagles” flying Russian-developed aircraft and the F-117A “Stealth Fighter” wing. This is a FREE extension pack to owners of the Nevada map. Enjoy!

(emphasis mine)

IMHO, this is the better way to go.

Larger maps &gt; better quality, I say!

Yeah I read it correctly now. So what about new players? They have to pay for the incomplete map and then the "expansion pack"?

I don't get it. It's like a really shitty translation from Russian or something.

No, you don't own 2.0 before lets say, you buy NTTR and now you have the new airfields and what not for the same price as you would've bought NTTR originally. They're not charging anyone, they're doing bundle deals for those who don't own NTTR atm. Think of it this way, if you downloaded 2.0 when it was at the latest 2.03 update, you'd have all the same shit as everyone else right, because you bought NTTR and that was the latest patch. It's the same deal with this, you're buying NTTR with the latest patch, that's including the air field. Don't look at it as an expansion pack DLC kind of BS, they call it that but all it is, is a giant update. That's it that's all.

Sooo.. It's a significant update to the NTTR map but they're calling it an expansion pack.

Huh.

Essentially, but unlike Destiny, COD and all that shit no one is getting charged and it'll be included regardless. One giant patch.

Hmm. I guess I jumped the gun on getting my jimmys all rustled up. I just read "expansion pack" and "20% off" and came to the conclusion that I did.

Okay, I'm not reading that wrong, am I? Nearly 17 Gigs?

Lol! Maybe that will be finished by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe.

In multiplayer - all static objects are not loading.

This means CTLD is broke (you can still move troops).

Any mission that was dependent on a static object being there, is also broke (MOAPA).

I posted a bug report on ED's site.

Does not appear to be happening in 1.5.

hmm as broken as it is, once this is sorted it'll open up tons of scenarios and possibilities. Very excited for the update though.

lol I need to know what the hell is going on in this GIF... Spewing shit water across a window?

Sweep: Yeah I don't necessarily mind low-res airfields, I'm sure they'll still look nicer than a lot of the ones in Georgia, I'm just thinking "it took them this long, and this is the end product?" And also how do you get an extra 17 GB of map size with that? For 17 GB, I would think Nellis-quality was more likely.

Tracer: CTLD may be a no-go, but now we've got the breathing room to set up a proper, balanced team-vs-team mission. How's about a Nellis vs. Tonopah, fight for a neutral Groom Lake with ground forces holding position on either end of the base, helos drop troops to capture?
