[@johnwicks4936]

I have to say, the fact no content creators got to show this map ahead of release makes me VERY cautious. South Atlantic looked great in photos as well.

[@Lucas_WAZZAA]

55 bucks also isn't nothing, its the price of a full game, and were getting about a quarter of a map(?), even then,the price may become higher as the map evolves... This really doesn't feel good to me.

[@brandonchappell1535]

Not to mention, going off msfs, they hardly ever update their products, given theyre the largest company, they have the least support. I guess, time will tell

[@hook86]

You should be cautious. It's hilarious how much people ride EDs ass, but they haven't met some of the other big players....

[@HADESPAYLOAD]

I had regrets with SA map purchase. This map looks great in the detailed areas and in Norway. The mountains way more realistic than SA. I still believe in SA but they have been reworking it for years and talk about big changes. Now filling out this map and how fast that is the real question(1yr 2yr).

[@tukino9124]

Sorry but 70 bucks for a map is already expensive, but increasing the price cause they added few details ? I don't like their mindset..

[@mchovado3301]

yeah 70 bucks is a lot too in my opinion

[@HADESPAYLOAD]

Everyone should be aware that many maps feel abandoned. Partly due to splitting the player base due to content match and others because of features and performance. For me a map wont be as enjoyable as module at that price. I do feel a bit burnt buying the SA map dont recall the last time I flew it. North AU will IMO be unused like NTTR. When I saw the Sinai for $40 that to me is what all maps should cost unless combined or massive. I am tired of the Caucus map but MP that seems to be half the populated servers due to them actually having the content. For MP Syria and Caucasus is all you need. Buy what you value and who you want to support for modules.

[@mchovado3301]

@@HADESPAYLOAD Totally agree...I have Syria as my only paid map and I am actually considering buying afghanistan when it will be on sale in the future. But paying 70 bucks for map seems ridicolous for me when you can have almost 2 modules for that price when you buy them on sale. And I will be having much more learning new module than flying above different country

[@HADESPAYLOAD]

​@@mchovado3301 Kola looks good so far in the detailed areas but how long to fill out. As it fills out could it be at 50% in 2yrs. I think this will be right behind Syria in popularity excluding Caucasus.

[@mchovado3301]

@@HADESPAYLOAD Yeah it looks awsome but not worth 70 dollars imo...at least yet

[@evansnyder430]

Pre order the logistics helicopter. Oh but btw no logistics overhaul to get to use it.

[@ascherlafayette8572]

Really, very off-putting

[@Laerei]

Some servers at the very least have their own logistics system where Chinook will be very useful. For example, I see it being a real workhorse on Enigma's Cold War server.

[@evansnyder430]

@@Laerei so true. Servers like enigma, tempest, and blue flags are the real kings. The fact they script an entire system which should’ve existed years ago speaks volumes. The more time I put into DCS the more I realize it’s value is very surface level. The only depth it has is individual aircraft systems, and that only goes so far.

[@koen7906]

I own almost all DCS modules, but I won’t be giving ED any more money till I see some facts and actually finished results. I’m not paying 50 bucks for a kickstarter project release. I want to Chinook so much, but I’m going to wait for sure.

[@IronFist.]

​@@Laerei No, Enigma doesn't have any logistics for helos There are lots of other servers that do actually have logistics tho

[@Laerei]

I honestly don't know how you manage to make two high-quality news videos about a single game every week but you do. Mad respect, my guy!

[@spookyno1401]

hopefully Bodø and the rest of Norway has enough detail to be enjoyable.

[@jeff-fk2vf]

Where is my Phantom???😢😢

[@DaShaneo]

It's set to be released in Winter.

[@dienicy]

It's in production. Be glad they're slightly faster with development than McDonnell.

[@madaxe606]

January 2025 is my guess.

[@liose7474]

To be serious, it was report (maybe) to the update of the 31 may. If it was not report again

[@ziepex7009]

Before 31 may.

[@guimhoff]

Still no news about Razbam ☹️

[@ice9172]

I look forward to the Kola Map but the fact that there is no current content this close to release that is making me hesitate to jump to purchase it. Maybe release day creators will be able to showcase the un marketing videos.

[@Roke215]

Awfully Quiet with HB and the Phantom. I guess we can only hope of a realese in the very near future

[@plokkum]

I have pre-ordered the CH-47 and Afghanistan, but I'm kind of regretting it. Seeing how the Kola map is also a half baked attempt to get some early cash flow, I can't help but feel like early access is just a cheap excuse for the developers to get lazy after initial release.

[@Capt_OscarMike]

I can not help but to picture the images of specific cardboard boxes clearly labeled, written with a black Sharpie the large handwritten lettering, "...AFGANNISTAN..." ... NOT JUST ONCE OR TWICE but was written on the outside of ~5 cardboard boxes seemingly randomly placed in a detached garage ...that had other boxes but also stereotypical "garage" stuff. If you are not familiar with what I am referring I recommend to allocate 30 seconds> use a search engine to search for "AFGANNISTAN" BOXES then you will understand. I sincerely wish those images did not appear before me but they do and will for what remains of my existance... Imagine the confidence we would have if ED or Devs posted info and consistently misspelled "AFGANNISTAN"...yet, when someone points out their error or begins questioning the delays, the 134 year time period a single product remains in Early-Access status or WIP status or enhancements...INNN THE FUUTUUURRE... the dev rebuttal is a self proclomation they are experts are AFGANNISTAN and are the most knowledgeable programmers and graphic, etc person in history and certainly alive today...totally dismissing justifiable questions and concerns....how many would have confidence is such a person...I am confident few would...Especially if the dev consistently made errors, overpromised-under delivered.... and was exposed in the most public and spectacular ways of being everything no one wants to be leading anything...especially when you are forced to endure the consequences for placing faith in them and or because others did .... I am confident will figure out what I am referring to if this doesn't make sense to you.. ps. Apologize for this interjection...Couldn't help myself...

[@nighthawk1867]

Hope those saunas come with helipads. Kola is pricey though, maps are now costing more than some AAA pc games. Will definitely wait till some DCS streamers have posted videos of their Kola flights.

[@davidjames7382]

Great update and video. Usually get up and fly several times a week. Built my own system last summer; amd ryzen 7 7800x3d, asus tuf 4080 oc gpu, 64gb of ddr5, Artic Freeze AIO and 1000w psu in a Lian 216 case. I've been trying for several days to enter the Pimax contest for several days, without success. Keep up the good work.

[@Hedgy.]

I hope the Kola map gets wide enough adoption that will get some servers that run it!

[@johnone1way]

Need the Swedish HKP9 BO-105 for the Kola map 🥰

[@refikcandevseli3329]

Really looking forward to hearing about CH-47 more. Its a interesting heli and has potential in DCS if done correctly.

Partially detailed Kola map. Something like cola zero missing real sugar?😅

[@TheRaptorXX]

Well, the Chinook is behaving a bit like other 'planned releases' but hey, Mrs Rap is going to get it as a Birthday pressie for me. She just doesn't kow yet, she's got til September!!

[@gomes389]

Thank you very much for the news about DCS. I think Kola map will be fantastic, maybe not at the beginning, but over time it should improve a lot. But the most anticipated map of all will be the Vietnam map.

[@BumpyLumpy1]

they should be working on it since they did post on twitter a short while ago about massive foliage fps boosts.

[@dienicy]

Most anticipated will be a world map. They called it DCS World...

[@BumpyLumpy1]

@@dienicy dont think we will see that for another 6-7 years. so much has to go into that massive project.

[@dienicy]

@@BumpyLumpy1 You're very optimistic, methinks.

[@Pikronc]

The textures of the kola don't impress me, but maybe that is for the better for performance.

[@johnwicks4936]

It’s going to end up getting the same complaints the S/A map got. Good luck.

[@loneirregular1280]

​@johnwicks4936 lets hope it will be better. OrbX does very good maps from what I have heard, and Kola would be a nice break from all the sand we have at the moment. South Atlantic could be a good map, but its performing so horribly still to this day that I gave up my hopes for it, especially with the Razbam feud.

[@ernestwinslow7316]

I read in dcs forum that Orbx work is being held back by current DCS engine. The plan is to make the textures of high quality when dcs engine can accommodate those sizes. Let us hope ED core development would deliver fast enough.

[@johnwicks4936]

@@ernestwinslow7316 But they’re going to charge more for it THEN?

[@ernestwinslow7316]

@@johnwicks4936 Looks like so. Ed is somehow taking this route with their Afghanistan map.

[@flyingkah7223]

Thanks for this update. Kola would look nice to fly in. Still expensive when converted to my local currency.

[@dragzzt]

Sure chinook probably will be fine to fly, big chonky boi, but after first impression, there is nothing to do with it, that can't Mi-8 do. Without huge changes to the dcs, logistics etc, it's meh.

[@linussandell831]

ED is introducing a logistics overhaul. When? We don't know.

[@Not-today-wb9do]

it starting to look a bit depressing now

[@manuelgreil4306]

Thanks for the news update. Looking forward to your video comparison of the Kola map. 👍

[@Jakes_1-1]

Road bases...that is what I am most excited about! Looking forward to Kola so much!

[@cinemacity6619]

Great video as always! Hearing that the chinook will be releasing without the logistics rework is very disappointing, so much so I think I’ll just wait to get it later. Basically won’t be able to do anything with it other than CSAR without the logistics system in place

[@patrickdrives]

I was looking forward to KOLA map and Chinook but I definitely start to have mixed feelings about price versus feature set for both

[@j_clark]

Wonder how long until the Reflected and Baltic Dragon campaigns release for Kola. I know they've been working on them.

[@Sven_Nn]

I wish there was as much advertisement for DCS on KZbin as there - unfortunately - is for WarThunder

[@brandonchappell1535]

Orbx can keep kola under wraps, but imo, dcs players like to be informed before such hefty price tags, so no one will buy until reports show up, so shot themself in foot a bit.

[@brandonchappell1535]

Not to mention very slow updates, ymen, theyre home airport in real life, is like a 4x4 track on some of the taxi ways, and no update for years, they never work for "free", hence why theyre lifting the price as they go

My computer finally died after 14 years of service. Well, it was struggling in the end to handle DCS in VR. So, World of Tanks on my phone it is, until I can afford to replace The Beast i7-860 on an msi p55-gd85 with 16gb of memory, msi 1070 GTX In it's honor it did get 35 fps unless the map was really crowded with assets. So long old friend, so many flight hours on the Beast.

[@fireshot1177]

I would love to fly the chinook but with so little actual features on release I think the extra 10$ after they get it all finished is not to terrible rather than having a 70$ waiting game and with ED "soon" can be a month or a few years

[@FJFuentesCO]

I'm gaining interest in the Chinhook, but to be honest my 1st pre-order experience with the Phantom has me deciding to just wait on it until its further developed.

[@ernestwinslow7316]

The Kola Map is very unique in it release. Other map had video reviews shown before the official release. This kind of give a negative buzz around the Kola map. I would like to be surprise otherwise. The early access is also a bit steep in price and the cost increasing as the map get developed is a new one. It shan't be long long now before we find out for ourselves.

[@frapwaam5964]

Will they provide some scripted missions for specific modules, like persian gulf or caucasus. I only fly the F18, while waiting the mig29 and those mission / training script are a good way to discover the maps... for a noob like me 😅
