DCS 2.5 will be the merged (1.5 + 2.0) build of DCS. The Caucasus map will see certain improvements (new mesh!) with this merge. T3 is the texture set for the current (1.5) version of the Caucasus map. T4 is the texture set for the 2.5 (future) version of DCS. BTW " Dear all lovely backers, I am very proud to announce that today, we reached our first goal. Right now we are at 2.266,89!
The first version of the DLC will go public tonight, at 9.00 pm CEST.
Thank you so much for your support and team spirit!
All the best, Starway"Thanks to everyone who donated!

The 2.0 alpha version is (officially) exclusively for testing the NTTR map.
The Caucasus map needs 1.5 (stable or beta version).
There have been some (unofficial) tricks to get the Caucasus map to work in 2.0 but I have no idea if the textures would work on such an installation and what problems/bugs it could cause.

I don't think he really had any doubts, he knows best how popular his previous work has been. I guess he's just happy with the overwhelming trust shown by the community. BTW the new textures look gorgeous!

I only discovered that there was a DLC recently - did not even know about any previous work, I really don't browse that place. well, he has my donation.

As it's 'only' the textures that are replaced, there should not be a performance issue.
...T4 level has also been reached and it seems the donations keep coming in. Good show! I've installed the textures (very painless process using JSGME, I had donated the first day after the donation page was opened) and they do make the landscape feel more realistic.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

I doesn't make a lot of sense to me either... but, now with the goal reached, I'm going ahead and pay for it anyway. This deserves all the support it can get.

I'd like to see stairway get the SDK so that he and a small crew can produce totally new maps instead of texturing the old map. I didn't contribute. If I had to pay I could quite easily do without the textures simple as that. I did download though and Honestly I don't see what texturing an outdated map brings to the sim. Why is the SDK treated like some kind of treasure to be kept away from the general community? I don't understand EDs policy. There are undoubtedly talented modders in the community that would expand the sim immensely. It's a head scratcher.
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."
