FLIGHT SIM NEWS - First Impressions FREE DCS World Mariana Islands Map

Breaking news! The Mariana Islands FREE map for DCS World has been released today! This is also my First Impressions video taking flight in both
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, detailing what Instant Action missions are included, how it performs, etc.

Right on....it's 7:45 am and I got my coffee... :)

[@Mako-sz4qr]

Yeah it’s a pretty good treat for sure and love the reef colors around the shore good shit man 👍🏻 better in 2d of course but G2 it’s okay.

[@craigmoran893]

I'm just like you dude - this is a chill out game for me. The choppers are very special to me. A free island paradise for me to explore! - I love this game.

[@johnporten8303]

I got a chance to fly around the new map today. I was pleasantly suprised with how much they had for the f14. The map looked pretty amazing

[@rodwhite5274]

Yes very cool

[@wildcard3233]

Thanks again Rod ! Great Video 🙏🤘

[@oldmanfunky4909]

The Mariana's is a GREAT map! It is the perfect stand in for ww2 missions and modern. It can be a stand in for a Falklands styled campaign. A great place for Carrier ops! Then there is DCS Liberation! I'm sure the Marian's will be added to it soon and that will be great fun too!

[@virtutubavirtutuba5122]

WW2 with solar farms, parking lots full of cars and 2 huge airstrips ? What a joke.

[@radsy5821]

I swan dived twice due to lack of depth perception over water while evading SAMs. Nice map, will be better when it's optimised.

[@rodwhite5274]

It's new it will be in time.

[@matk4731]

Awesome thanks mate. 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@rodwhite5274]

Anytime

[@btaylo24]

Map is a beauty .

[@Basilone45]

the mirrors take a decent hit on the framerate probably why the huey did so much better, I usually just toggle mirrors off unless I'm actively using them

[@rodwhite5274]

I’ve honestly never really noticed getting much more by turning mirrors off. But I’ve heard it said more than once

[@Tamburello_1994]

This map finished off what Syria left behind framerate-wise.

[@johnporten8303]

Did anyone else notice the zeroes in the new trailer??? I am so excited for the ww2 version.

[@MiniDien]

Those were Anton with Zero paint

[@matk4731]

FW-190A no Zero unfortunately.🙁

[@johnporten8303]

@@MiniDien I went back and looked again. They got me. The wingtips looked wider and more rounded the first time.

[@rodwhite5274]

Sadly those weren’t zeros. I also feel ED may have the same issues as 1C, because IL2 doesn’t have them either because there’s not a lot of information out there on them to model them 100% realistically.

[@matk4731]

@@rodwhite5274 Maybe Ed & 1c could contact the Australian War Memorial they have one complete & intact they also have an ME-262. I do know of one or maybe two flying in the states also. So if they really wanted to they could get enough information to get one in DCS or IL2.

[@wildcard3233]

Hey Rod I know this is non related but can you find out any information on Razbams projects ! There haven't post any recent updates and considering they are handling the most anticipated module out there in the F15 they have disappeared off the radar If anyone can hunt down sim news it's you ! All the best and thankyou for your continuing great videos 😊🙏🤘

[@rodwhite5274]

They refuse to ever respond to me, so sadly I'm as limited as you are when it comes to those updates. They trickle out dumb crap like here's a picture of something not done yet, or here's a picture of a flight stick. I wish they'd just complete something instead of showing us how ADD they are and can't stick with one thing at a time lol

[@wildcard3233]

Their work is top quality but I wish the F15 was taken on by Heatblur ! Also someone needs to take on the Vietnam era and the F4 Phamtom these are such obvious choices!😐🤘🙏

[@karlhungus545]

Huh-huh...you said 'free campaign'... Nice that we'll be able to do naval battles. Still way too much for the F14 however, even on sale ($86 CAD).

[@rodwhite5274]

My bad! lol

[@Commander_Sonak]

Tomcats!

[@willtoler2998]

It’s Andersen AFB

[@ricbish]

Hey Rod, just saw something from the Reapers that might help you FPS in the Marianas map. It was changing the shadow options from “don’t remember what it was called” I think 3D to flat. Gave about a 25% increase and took that stutter away in the highly populated Guam island. Here’s the link, let me know if it works for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37YinWdrJpnn7s

[@rodwhite5274]

Ah thanks I'll check it out for myself! lol

[@virtutubavirtutuba5122]

So who is responsible for F16, F18, P51, Spit, A10 etc missions on new ed map ? Oh wait ed is responsible XD

[@rodwhite5274]

Exactly lol
