I didn't know about that decision.

I guess that when your developing a sim like these there is always going to be a trade off between the features that you implement and the performance that your trying to achieve.

....

Maybe they decided to model arid terrain because they couldn't get the right colour green for a European theatre.

I like the way tufts of grass fit in quite well with the landscape. Looks quite realistic.

No, that is the Nevada training area map. The main action will take place in the same place as the rest of DCS/Lock On, Georgia.

Actually this would be incorrect... They have a European theater but this screenshot is for the new map they are adding which is Nevada USA a desert training center and home of Red Flag.
