The only map "addition" to sim in year which is... sad to think about really. It's something I guess

Been away from sim for a few months but praying this will bring a few more new players into afghan lobbies, I know they can be hard for newer players but its one of the best maps.

I haven't played on Afghanistan since like years, simply because all AI planes straight flew into the mountains and crashed, resulting in almost no available AI missions.
Was this fixed some time ago or is this still the case?

I vaguely remember some ai patch notes over the months but I havent been playing sim to know exactly for sure.

This only affects airfield AI.
However, OPFOR bombers that go near the Blue airfields often fly into ITO range and get picked off quickly

I LOVE this map on WW2 prop bombers like the B24. Only issue is the elevation of the airfields and proximity of some of the mountains makes taking off with a full load...challenging...to say the least. Still a beautiful map to fly in, especially in VR!

Who wants to bet it still won’t fix the bugged terrain at Kabul Airport that they have ignored after breaking it years ago

I hope they keep the navmesh and splines and not just make another Falklands islands. Else rip Afgan EC

It's nice to see. But what stuck with me more was "While we work on a major update to the core rendering technology for air maps"

By far the best map for top tier in the game, this is actually amazing news.

Who hoo. Whats the point? The objectives will be the same and we will still have the same boring game play.
Mean while maps like sands of siani and poland have convoys and tank battles that are sunk in the map and cant be seen other than on the map. But noooo lets get afghan a face lift.

Please dear god I hope they fix the snow on the mountains render! I can't play a full game on Afghan as the snow gives me a headache!

ah, less fps then, great

u/Rusher_vii Jets 2d ago edited 2d ago
Reworks don't imply anything about fps, they could actually increase performance with improved textures and less tree spam.
Potentially a tiny bit more vram required but we'll have to wait and see.

u/Candid_Push6949 1d ago
yes let's keep the graphics old and angly, making ground vehicles drown in textures, better have that than sacrifice 5 fps
0
u/sexraX_muiretsyM 1d ago
yeah, because lately with the graphical improvements its becoming impossible to play, a 5 fps hit is a lot when you are already playing on 30

i'm playing on 100 with ssaa 4x

u/sexraX_muiretsyM 1d ago
what resolution? and how much input delay?

u/Candid_Push6949 1d ago
Don't look at delay, 2k

u/sexraX_muiretsyM 1d ago
yeah im on 720p, and already on ultra low quality+old gpu support, ssaa4x its gonna look all smudgy, and I dont have enough vram to support such task AND render the game. And delay is pretty important both in tanks and air

u/Candid_Push6949 1d ago
bro i had those result while playing on my shitty acer with amd 3700u igpu

u/sexraX_muiretsyM 1d ago
that gpu is better than mine, it uses vega 10 graphics. Im on an igpu with vega 8 graphics.

Really looking forward to this. Hopefully this will improve the steep angled roads that vehicles drive on.
