Ohhh I am famous :D

One could even say you've become...HIP

[@VenomCinematic]

oooooooooooooooooooo thats a good one @@deadpxl

NOICE!!!

[@GonzodidIT]

hahaaa! brilliant @@deadpxl

[@43432324]

Halfghanistan

[@quavera]

Was bothered by it at first, but at least now it's kinda clarified that they will complete the map. Hoping it will happen within at least a year from EA launch but knowing DCS i'm not sure if that will happen or not. I'm more excited for Iraq than this though

[@NineLineED]

@@quavera The biggest issue is that the other areas are much more complex and just taking a little longer to build. Thanks!

[@thurbine2411]

Phaseghanistan

[@deadpxl]

Considering the level of detail it makes sense to prioritize portions. It's either that or a much longer wait to get it at all.

[@Off_The_Rail]

Better than noghanistan

[@flyingPeet]

"eventually" like the carrier room promise to us 3 years ago... My faith in ED's EA have collapse with the supercarrier sadly

[@jesseblue1442]

Afghanistan map?! finally! i can now create mission to save Rambo!!

[@ziepex7009]

halfghanistan*

[@DCS_World_Japan]

I'm so confused how they revealed Bagram in promo videos but the Afghanistan map area they're showing us is the western half WITHOUT Bagram?

[@hipgames]

Maybe there is more work to be done than we can imagine. Or something to do with Performance? I really wonder that myself too :)

[@thurbine2411]

Ye they really chose the worse half to release first

[@deadpxl]

I wonder if that half has the most diverse terrain allowing them to create the variety of assets that'll be used throughout the map

[@madaxe606]

Definitely going to be waiting for Allghanistan, no matter how cheap they make Halfghanistan.

[@steph4050]

Ed need to put a brake on deserts map ... we have tons of these. Again ... please -> VIETNAM .

[@Mountain_Manu]

Korea would also be brilliant

[@brandonchappell1535]

Afghanistan has a bunch of mountains etc too. Having spent nearly 4000 hrs in msfs i can tell u a lot of earth is actually desert irl. Kolas not desert though. SA isnt desert either and thats probably least supported by the community.

[@Rohrkrepierer]

I'd like a Balkans map that includes Italy. But that's just me it seems.

[@Not-today-wb9do]

family friendly yes ,no sorry ..lol i love that cat

[@fighterace316]

Me too

[@OnlyNapalm]

Thanks Andrei and Petrovich, very noice eastern holiday for both of You and Natasha too.

[@webweaver3015]

2:04 Dang that looks real! 😂

[@hipgames]

Its funny because: ITS TRUE!!! 😂😂😂 o7

[@manuelgreil4306]

Thanks for keeping us updated!

[@Buschwick]

I've been waiting for this since Falcon 4.0: Allied Force.

[@keyogen]

I think the problem is not that releasing half the map first. I think it is because it is the side with fewer historical battles and conflicts.

[@pickyfox9061]

Thank you for new videos, keep it coming!

[@ImperatorTheodosius]

PROTIP: "WSO" is said as one word "wizzo". Or "vizzo" for Euro-bros.

[@Irano1995]

Not all Euros pronounce the w as a v 😂

[@tylerouimette2934]

Sangin town, helmund province. . good times that was......

[@generalpurpose6517]

Afghanistan map!! Awesome!! Now we can play at losing anytime we want

[@jrgenkauling8269]

or we can wage the war as it should have been waged

[@wilbuzllf5057]

Thank you for your time and effort!

[@Marc42]

Whoa HIP vid!!! 🥳

[@Fox3Hammy]

Great video A.C. !!

[@prox7179]

I am still hoping that we’ll get a Germany map someday. But it’s probably not going to happen.

[@Elias-xn1km]

With the world map maybe but a ww2 version would be nice

[@generalpurpose6517]

We need a Mexico map so we can practice invading who we actually need to invade

[@Coolhand101e]

I like the info you gave to help defuse the whole "Halfghanistan" situation... Hehehe! I'm part of the "Give us the Kola Peninsula map already" group of people with "map need anxiety". 😆

[@leonardouzcategui6726]

I really looking forward the Afghanistan map

[@jeffreyc2074]

Really interested in how Jester 2 comes along for when it comes to the F-14

[@alcatraz0643]

ED creating map: So which one will be next ? Oh i know more sand.

[@TacticalWestOfficial]

When are we going to get the new super carrier update? I just want my taxi directors, briefing room etc

[@ImpendingJoker]

Forget the map, I want the Chinook, OH-58D, Bo-105 and the C-130.

[@PaPaFiggy69]

Would be nice to have a U.S. map like of Florida or Texas but hey this map looks like loads of fun

[@Halozocker104]

Nevada is a thing?

[@hitchcock_]

min 2:04 is mean mate :D i thought "wow that looks awesome", but that was real, not dcs

[@hipgames]

yeah its real footage - but its good to get that feeling, means we are getting there no?

[@TheFoxYTB]

Were gettin' close❤💙💛 Greetings from Germany

[@greatwhiteythe2nd804]

Yaaaaaaay! More desert!

[@lisa-azrabroad4137]

nice one

[@pju28]

After implementation of jester on the F4 … will be this kind of version also upgrade for the F14 ?

[@nickwingate1834]

I hope so, the F-14 has been neglected very much since 9 months. They need to do a host of fixes

[@Alex-fd8vu]

Yes definitely, but I don't think immediately with the phantoms EA release, but a little bit later in the future TM

[@bdmski]

I’ll keep waiting for Nevada 2.0

[@curlyplumbing5121]

Love you Long Time...

[@MrShillum]

For the phantom coud we fly alone without jester ? 😅

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

7:02 That's really good for us keyboardless users who want a the cheesy short cut commands to be more realistic.

[@01MeuCanal]

ED should tweak the color pallet to make the game more realistic.

[@petelet1]

hello Afghanistan nice

[@lexikdark3392]

Pretty sure I\m gonna sit this one out until it's atleast 99% complete. and to add one note. I have 90% of all the modules and Maps in DCS by now. but I'm never going to pay for a Map OR module if I have to pay more for other or extra features later. so that shouldn't be a question at all if you ask me. upgrades should be free, I'd Maybe pay an extra 5$ in total for a MUCH improved Combined Arms. like if they add another 90% worth of gear to use. and improved the overall unit list in the game with it. And/Or if they ED desided to add slightly more fidelity to the Fc3 pack. as in some things being clickable basically.

[@Halozocker104]

Youre gonna have to wait till at least 2027.. look at south atlantic, look at sinai.. nothing is happening.

[@zbeen-ah-lah]

so uh, DCS won’t start up because of some stupid oculus update and idk how to fix it

[@homeworxchannel4120]

While I understand it's early access but the fact they announced with with Bagrams long lat is what got everyone hyped to operate out of Bagram. With an already angry crowd over the F4s extreme delay it didn't help morale.

[@hipgames]

What Morale? 😂

[@gradycdenton]

Random fact: Czech pilots trained Afghan Air Force pilots because they could speak a common language - Russian.

[@TheKurgen]

Instead of fixing and finishing what’s actually in game, let’s release a lot of half finished, half assed modules and maps to keep our minds of such issues.

[@DCS_World]

Giving E.D. money for a product with no set release date is not the way. That boat sailed after the bait and switch tactics they've exhibited over the last year. The Normandy release & then the Strike Eagle nonsense have made that clear. Maybe focus on getting the sim back to running smoothly for the community first & foremost O7

[@mikequigleyorruneoform7096]

Not to mention ED leaving things broken when a simple fix is available. You have people buying P-47 right now and the landing gear buckles under any landing or repair. The fix is changing a single number in the Flight Model Options. ED not doing it do to a maybe in the works bigger fix "in the future". That problem is a year old now.

[@TechGaming45]

Maybe getting someone to proof read the news letters...

[@l.3626]

Ai when Afghanistan early access?

[@LEAD-DISPENSER]

i know but again GIB CH-47😄

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

5:18 So why isn't an update to the Flaming cliffs plane then? Aka why would anyone pay $20-$80 for a glorified mod? When community mods have gotten insanely good lately?

[@bloodnock66]

Please give us something different, Vietnam or Korea!

[@sknoy7792]

2nd! :D

[@mvaldman2001]

Thanks Andrei, but disconnecting and taking a weekend off with the wife won’t make you have less followers… take some quality time and make sure you don’t end up in a divorce! We’ll be happy to wait until Tuesday for news from your channel!

Second :D

3rd actually but good one!

[@user-qp5sh7te9w]

XD got your reply as I'm watching this video, so it's even better ​@@hipgames

[@einfachmarvelous7763]

first :D

[@damned.major.mayhem]

When asking or thinking about whether or not the Halfganistan expansions will cost ... with most maps like Syria it was a no ... but we also have Normandy 2 and that did come with an upgrade cost. No offense but I would also like to point out that ED personnel have been wrong or at least confused with expansions in the past. Going back to the Normandy 2 Map ED promised a discount to owners of the original Normandy or the Channel Map and an even larger discount for owners of both maps. Several people from ED where confused about the discount for owners of both legacy maps specially BigNewy and whoever runs the Facebook profile for ED. Some stated they would get a basic discount like any owner of a single map and some stated that owners of both maps would get a bigger discount as ED had advertised. Thankfully it was the former that was right and those of use that had both maps got the larger discount for Normandy 2.

[@bro_duck]

Who is natasha

[@evansnyder430]

Casually ignoring the paid Normandy upgrade

[@billcedarheath387]

So true! I thought the same thing and that is why the question about an additional cost for a complete map came from imo.

[@hipgames]

Because they confirmed we get the entire Afghanistan! How hard is it to listen and read? Wait, maybe you don't know who Nineline is. Check again... really not joking here. Get real and stop beating around the bush. If you have a problem, take it somewhere else.

[@billcedarheath387]

@@hipgames I think you are missing the point and why it had to be addressed in the first place. The Normandy map upgrade was at a cost. The Syria map wasn’t. It wasn’t clear cut which way it would be before a comment came from Nineline. If it was there wouldn’t have been a need to clarify on it. You could have mentioned that with the Normandy map and Syria map having different upgrade histories it gave some question as to how an Afghanistan upgrade would work. I think that @evansnyder430 made a comment to reflect that it wasn’t as obvious which way it would be. In the video there was no mention of that it could have gone either way. Your criticism of his comment seems miss understood and maybe is a bit harsh.

[@hipgames]

There is no what was mention first in the video or after. You either understand or refuse too, wich obviously is your choice. Truth be said, and don't get me wrong I dont want to be harsh, everyone can think and put their opinion here, as it should be, but the Normandy update has a different situation. Call me bad in content creation and go watch others, heaven knows, there are a lot.

[@hipgames]

P.s. there is no Afghanistan Upgrade!

[@FocusYT155]

Halfghanistan.... lol

[@billcedarheath387]

I’m holding off until Halfghanistan is whole. The early access of the South Atlantic map was a disappointment for me and I’m not looking to go through the early access development phase again. The group I fly with all bought in hard on South Atlantic and we rarely play it even to this day. I’ll wait and let early adopters figure it out and let me know their opinions on just how good it is. As the saying goes…Fool me once shame on them. Fool me twice shame on me. I’ll wait this one out for sure as there is too much going on with this map and chances for disappointment in early access seems high to me.

[@chosearmandoarmando3864]

The MiG-29 module is highly unnecessary, they should really help to release MiG-23 MLA.

[@jarlevanlandeghem8595]

Not tru its an good late cold War jet!

[@chosearmandoarmando3864]

@@jarlevanlandeghem8595 Its is my favourite aircraft of all time, but we already have it as FC3. If they atleast made S or SM variant then ok, but resources for this could be used elsewhere.

[@Dracomarine]

Imagine saying modern redfor planes are “unnecessary”(what does that even mean?)

[@chosearmandoarmando3864]

@@Dracomarine The redfor should atleast get BM,SM or SMT variant of 29. I know this is imposible now. But this wont change anything in game right now. The 23 or SU-22 would be much better choices.

[@dimitriapostola3119]

Definitely need the mig 23, but if they've got the data full clickable mig 29 is certainly more needed than trainers. A full fidelity clickable su-25 would also be nice. If the GCI is available to all, that would itself be worth it.

[@radustefan8945]
