http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2869234&postcount=2

Hola everyone,

 

A little update... today the Caucasus map for DCS World 2.5 had its terrain elevation resolution increased by an average of 400%. This has eliminated almost all sharp edges to the terrain; and it's added rolling hills, much more detailed ridges and mountain sides, and provided many new places to hide down low.

 

I'll try to post some images in the coming weeks.

 

Yes, this is still a FREE upgrade planned for later this year.

 

Thanks

From ED Facebook...Merkava AI incoming.:D
