I remain consistently impressed with the improvements that Ugra Media continue to pour into DCS: Syria. The latest update from their development team indicate that they are adding more airports to the map and they have boosted performance again thanks to some additional optimization work.
DCS: Syria is faster, has more stuff
Ugra Media continue to work away on their masterpiece of a map for DCS World with DCS: Syria picking up even more details and more airports to fly into and out of.
Four new airports are due to arrive in the next update. They are:
- Amman Civil Airport
- Herzliya Airport
- King Abdullah II Air Base
- Prince Hussein Air Base
Three of those are located in Jordan, in the south eastern corner of the DCS: Syria map, while Herzliya Airport is a small civil aviation airport with a 1,500 foot runway. Not suitable for most jet fighters (Viggen flyers might want to give it a go and Harrier fans can laugh in VTOL) but smaller fixed and rotary winged assets could set down here.
Meanwhile, Ugra Media have also been working on performance with news that models have been optimized, textures reassembled, and other tweaks have been implemented resulting in a 20% increase in FPS over city areas and 5-20% increase over forests. A test rig featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x / RTX 2080Ti saw frame rates jump over cities from 85 to 110 fps. Impressive!
Two videos and dozens of screenshots have been released. Check the update out here!
