is this new body physics for everybody :D

[@AIRWARFAREGROUP]

Indeed! The viper pilot model looks awesome.

[@deejaycinematics]

Unfortunately as far as I tested last night, Hornet pilot physics haven't changed that much so not sure if this is from upcoming update? 😊

Exactly what drew my attention. Realistic pilot movement.

Looks awesome. Hope the sun visors are working too.

[@tinuzz88]

Feels like it is highlighting the jets more than the terrain.

[@audunskilbrei8279]

I was struggling to see the actual terrain. Cuts were too fast and half the time it was clouds,jets,cockpits. Beautiful as always. But not quite what I wanted.

[@bird.9346]

@@audunskilbrei8279 I think he was excited to show off those cockpit bodies... There's plenty of screenshots on the ED website though

probably still so much work in progress it cant stand the light of the day. looks like it's gonna be very beautiful once done tho!

[@johnwicks4936]

Watch some videos, you will see why they didn’t highlight the terrain, especially down low. I can remember how gorgeous the S/A map looked in the teasers and then when I saw it for real…..not so gorgeous. In fact at rotor level it was awful.

Anybody remembers DID EF2000 game? Can't wait to fly in between fjords.

[@tbe0116]

I loved that game. Best atmosphere of any 90s sim.

[@crisk73]

DID EF2000 has been my first serious flight sim back in '95, yep those fjords remind me of that sim!

Finally mountainous terrain in Europe to fly. I wish the Caucasus Map was brought to the same level, something like Caucasus 4.0 I think I'm going to buy this one. Thanks ED/Orbx.

Sea water corrosion also modeled accurately

[@spookyno1401]

we would need a new hangar for that so it could sit in there all day

Better to get the black/seahawk not that Norway has decided to use that instead (like they should have 20 years ago)

It looks stunning! As a Swede i feel this is s most have right away! Perfect place to burn around with my Viggen! Also a superb place to play out "what if" cold war scenarios as well as "what if" modern day scenarios with everything that's going on right now. Hoping for a future extension all the way to the southern tip of Sweden 😀♥️

Fantastic trailer as usual, and great pilot movements now! The main wish I have now is better trees. Currently they look very similar, and they don’t match the tree types and density found in the far north. Any chance of an update to the DCS trees?

[@jamesmcd71]

Exalent map. I literally spent 5 hours just flying around. The HD areas are just stunning. I can't wait to get back at it tomorrow. You do realize this map has set the bar up to a very high level. Oh and I only have 201 gigs left on my m.2 I sure hope Afghanistan isn't over 150 gigs.

[@christianjimenez6747]

pilot movements are so much more fluid and realistic than i remember, i stopped playing at like 2.7 for life, might come back!!
