MigBuster 2,884 Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) DCS World 1.5.7 Update Today we have released a new update to Open Beta DCS World 1.5, with the primary new feature being the support for the DCS: World War II Assets Pack. Although primarily developed for the DCS: Normandy 1944 Map, these World War II period units work just as well in the Caucasus map. We hope this provides you another option for creating engaging World War II themed missions. Purchase the DCS: World War II Assets Pack in DCS E-Shop You can find the complete changelog of this DCS World 1.5 update here.

Based on the existing map in DCS World 1.5, we are working on a huge update that will include: Improved textures for all seasons Improved and higher resolution ground elevation mesh Improved ground object textures for buildings, roads, bridges, airfields, etc. Adding terrain shadows based on time of day New tree system for more and better-looking forests Additional map area in the southern portion of the map Added procedural grass Most important though, this updated map will incorporate our new map format and technology that will allow it to be merged into a single DCS World version that includes all of the other maps. The completion of this map is a critical component of moving all DCS World to version 2 and saying goodbye to DCS World 1.5. As this will update our existing Caucasus map, this update will be for FREE! DCS: Strait of Hormuz Map. In parallel, our map team is hard at work on the Strait of Hormuz map and making great progress. Using the same map format and technology as the New Caucasus map and the others, this map will also be part of a unified DCS World 2. As with the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map, the DCS: Strait of Hormuz map will blend satellite imagery with art-created textures such that it looks good from squirrel-level to 60,000 feet and beyond. We are particularly looking forward to making this a great home for our DCS: F/A-18C Hornet.
