Hi We are currently actively working on Cold War Germany phase 2 and decided to find out your wishes in order to find original objects/locations that we can additionally include in the list and without which it is impossible to release phase 2. Your wishes for phase 1 were very valuable, hints from local residents, guys who served in the service were very informative. Based on them, we adjusted the list: airfields, hangar types and much more were added. The goal of this topic: to find objects that are most important for the map: they played a significant role in the Cold War, it can be a landmark for navigation (antennas, towers, etc.), quarries without which the territory does not look like itself, a warehouse or a base. Or maybe some landmark without which the city loses its appearance? The idea with the city of Mannheim and “Kalimandscharo” seemed interesting to us. If you previously wrote wishes, you can duplicate the link to the topic. Let me remind you that we are looking at the entire Wishlist section, and in this topic we want to collect what you think is necessary to release Phase 2, and based on the responses and likes we will determine what to do first.

Hi! We made helipads to give helicopter pilots the opportunity to feel not as guests on the map, but as if they were at home. This feature is not provided by the engine, so there are a lot of helipad icons on the map. We can convert helipads into regular places without parking places and add H icons on the map. What we see as a disadvantage: in the mission editor you will not be able to use "takeoff from parking hot" and "takeoff from ramp". You will only be able to use "takeoff from ground" What do you think about this?

We will check. If it is not fixed in this patch, yes, please write.

Hi fighters HotFix has been delayed, but it will be on your computers soon. We have received amazing feedback from you. We have tried to fix everything we saw and even more. If you created a topic in the bugs section and your problem was solved - write about it, because we read it. Check the ILS, RSBN for interference - everything should work. So let's look at the list: - RAM and video memory usage has been reduced - optimized traffic: the amount of harvester traffic is reduced, vehicle traffic is shifted to cities and airfields - fixed normals on road intersection textures - corrected errors in frequencies and beacon locations: Briest RSBN is set to terrain, added Mendig NDB 331.0 NMN, Tempelhof VOR/DME changed to VORTAC, added Kirn VORTAC 117.5 KIR ch 122, added Solling NDB 374.5 SOG - corrected errors in taxiways of the following airfields: Allstedt, Bitburg, Bremen, Hahn, Hannover, Merseburg, Neubrandenburg, Neuruppin, Peenemunde, Pferdsfeld, Ramstein, Schonefeld, Schweinfurt, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Stendal, Tegel, Tempelhof, Tutow. - Ramstein taxiway signage corrected - removed trees on helipads: H_GDR_34, H_FRG_46, H_FRG_51 - color correction of airfield ground textures: Bitburg, Buckeburg, Frankfurt, Finow, Giebelstadt, Gutersloh, Holzdorf, Ramstein, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Werneuchen - fixed bugs in models - disabled unused models and textures - increased height of tank bridge on ranges - added straight electric wires on poles along streetcar and railroad tracks - added marine passenger ship in the scenes of ports and traffic - corrected incorrect display of icons and names on the map - added markings of air defense points, radars and hospitals on the map - improved image quality for the main menu

Hi We had a hotfix ready for the next day after release on navigation aids, but its release is delayed. Also in DCS World the algorithm of RSBN operation has changed, we initially had channels assigned, but then we reworked them by analogy with Kavkaz: the beacon needs to specify the frequency 8XX, where XX is the RSBN channel. Now again there is work to clarify the operation of RSBN.

Hi Write how it will work after the update, because I see that it is assigned as you ask: in Schönefeld 1#25L and 2#25R in Tempelhof: 1#09R and 2#09L I indicated the main courses and numbers for these runways. 1# and 2# are the runway numbers. So in Schönefeld the first runway is 25L/07R with the main course 25L

Hi Try testing again. I see two runways in Headcorn: 1: 18-36 2: 09-27 The main directions for these runways are "18" and "09". It is unclear why the controller gives such a direction in calm weather. But everything is correct with the wind: With a wind of 286, the controller will give runway 09. On takeoff/landing, the wind should be headwind Please write the test results.

@MBot Thanks for the info, the shelters will be stronger.

A different type of shelter was installed on the western part of the airfield. This has now been fixed. Soon you will be able to start flying the A-10 in a shelter without getting wet in the rain. Developer's night screenshot: In the meantime, your squadron is being transferred to Sembach.

DCS: Cold War Germany is now available! YES! The line between peace and war is erased. Now your sky, your rules. DCS: COLDWaR is not just a map, but a living, breathing world of the era when the whole world was on the brink. Now it is a home for your flights. We tried to show everything in a month, but you still have something to see. We read your comments and saw those who wrote that they wanted Germany during the Cold War period as their next project, when no one knew about it yet. And we were happy, because we knew that this dream would come true. THANK YOU for watching, prompting and dreaming with us. Now we will enjoy and develop this map together. This project is for you! P.S. Remember our flights through cranes, docks, car factories. Find them all! ) BUY HERE https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/germany_cold_war_terrain/ Fighters, man your planes!

absolutely right. We updated the information in the first post: Phase 1 - 110 Gb, total size, including Phase 3 - 205Gb

1. What are the system requirements - We recommend 32 GB of system RAM and 8 GB of VRAM 2. How much disk space is required? - 205Gb (Phase 1 - 110 Gb) 3. How much does DCS: Cold War Germany cost? - $55.99 USD at early access release and then later $69.99 USD at final release with all three phases. 4. How will the map be sold, as a whole or in parts? - The Cold War map will be released in phases, with each phase adding more terrain, airfields, cities and other features. Three phases in total are planned. The map will only be sold as the entire map. 5. What are the dimensions of the map? - 980 x 800 km 6. Will assets be released and when? - We have received many such requests. Ugra-Media will do everything possible to release a Cold War Germany assets pack with objects and equipment following the release of Phase 3. 7. Why are there static objects on the map if I can place them myself? - We were guided by the interests of the users. First, we did it for the sake of performance and FPS, and this is the best solution. You immediately get a polished product that allows you to fly without additional work in the Mission Editor. The world is already filled with life and details, but at the same time, free spaces are left open for your creativity; you can add your own objects without interfering with the rest of the map. 8. When will the seasons be released? - Autumn and Spring will be released with Phase 2. and Winter will come with Phase 3 9. Will there be destructible buildings? - Yes, most buildings have destruction models. Traditionally, this does not apply to original objects. 10. Will there be RSBN beacons on the maps? - Yes, East German airbases are already equipped with RSBN beacons. 11. Will you make SAM sites? - 40 SAM sites have been placed on the map, and some air bases include prepared SAM sites. 12. What airfields will be on the map? Full details on Phase 1 here (Cold War Germany Phase 1 Airfields and Bases) Phase 1 (59 airfields) @Hidden list@ Helicopter bases 4 and a lot of helipads: Airfields for small aircraft (27) : Phase 2 (10 airfields): Phase 3 (51 airfields): 13. Where can I see the progress of development? Here is our topic where we post information about the map, screenshots and videos:

Hallo! Wie geht's? Ja, RSBN ist auf der Karte. We are creating this map so that you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Cold War, which could become Hot at any moment. So that you can feel the adrenaline - when your MiG-21 flies low over the Berlin Wall, and the F-4 pursues you in the clouds. And beauty - when the sunset over Ramstein paints the tower in crimson tones, and it seems that time has stood still. The Cold War is an era when the whole world held its breath. Where every flight could be the last, and any mistake could rewrite history. But DCS: Cold War is not only war. It is a world of adventures where you can: Arrange air races between the skyscrapers of Frankfurt, in the seaport or at the car factory. Take a helicopter tour along the Rhine. Take part in tank exercises. Just relax at a small airfield, listening to the noise of the propeller and the radio broadcast of the 1980s. Mi-24 flies through the dock - because in COLDWaR even the laws of physics obey your courage! See you in the sky... in the sky of the Cold War. Kannst du es wiederholen?

Hi fighters Today is the cherry on top of our reviews! BERLIN is a divided city on the border of two worlds! The epicenter of the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, where every district, airport and monument becomes part of your missions. Berlin: two capitals in one city Alexanderplatz is the heart of East Berlin with the TV tower The Berlin TV Tower is the tallest in Germany (368 m) and the most recognizable symbol of the capital of the GDR and FRG The Reichstag is a legendary building, in the 1980s - a museum on the border with the West. The Brandenburg Gate is a no man's land between the GDR and FRG. Europa-Center is an iconic skyscraper of West Berlin. "-Get in a taxi and say: Europa-Center. Get back and say: Airport. Not difficult." The Berlin Wall is a symbol of the Cold War. The memorial to Soviet soldiers is a reminder of the past war in the center of a new confrontation. Berlin airports – three key points: Tempelhof Airport – the legendary airfield of the "Berlin Air Bridge", then civilian. "British Airways" and "Pan American World Airways" operated flights to Tempelhof Airport until August 31, 1975. "British Airways" and "Pan American World Airways" operated flights to Tempelhof Airport until August 31, 1975. After that, the flights were transferred to Tegel Perhaps you can implement the "Berlin Blockade 2.0" scenario – try to repeat the "Air Bridge of 1948", but this time on a C-130. Tegel (West Berlin) ICAO: EDDT – From 1975 to 1985, Tegel was West Berlin's only passenger airport: Tempelhof was closed to civil aviation. The airport, located in the French sector of Berlin, handled scheduled flights by Air France as well as charter flights by American and British airlines. Schönefeld Airport was the major civil airport of East Germany (GDR) and the only airport of the former East Berlin. The airport was home to Interflug, the state airline of the German Democratic Republic, which in the vast majority of cases used Soviet-made aircraft. Interflug's routes provided mainly Eastern European countries, but also operated flights to Cuba, China, North Korea, Vietnam, and some African countries. The airport received aircraft from Eastern Bloc airlines: Aeroflot, Tarom, Malev. The terminal's distinctive feature was the airport's visitor terrace - These are forgotten inventions of more advanced civilizations. In its place, the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport was built - today the only commercial airport serving Berlin.

Hi Alphas! Today we show the main metropolis of our map, the "Alpha city" - Frankfurt am Main, "Alpha airport" - the largest airport in Germany and "Alpha airbase" - the legendary NATO base Ramstein - the heart of Europe in the fire of the Cold War! Frankfurt am Main is the center of commerce, culture, education, tourism and transport hub of Germany. All the best here. Frankfurt Railway - a key railway hub of continental Europe (an ideal target for strikes on logistics). Europaturm is a television and radio broadcasting tower located in Frankfurt am Main. Height - 337.5 meters. Westend_Gate - one of the first skyscrapers of the FRG (1976) - 159 m Silberturm (Silver Tower), 166.3 m futurist skyscraper City-Haus. (142.1 m) Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) – the largest airport in Europe in the 1980s, is a dual-base airfield: cargo for NATO was transported through EDFF General plan – giant runways and terminals. Terminal with statics – Lufthansa, Pan Am and other legends. and most importantly Ramstein is the main US Air Force base in Europe. This is where they decide where the bombers will sow democracy. From here you will have the most flights. BUT if you look at the world through the sights of a Sukhoi or MiG, then this base will be the place where the final boss sits. Ready to fly? It's time to put this world in order.

We get a lot of questions about destruction models, although we said they will be there. We got the hint. A picture is worth a thousand words. - Damage... - Say no more. UPD

Life beyond the airfields. Today we will look at what creates the atmosphere of the map. These are the little things that turn the picture on your monitor into a living world with the atmosphere of the 1980s! Thanks to them, you will be able to understand where you are (East/West Germany), and maybe remember something. Cars of the era: GDR: "Trabants", "Wartburgs", IFA trucks / FRG: "VW", "Mercedes", BMW In Germany, they know about the "three K" "die drei K" (Kinder, Küche, Kirche) - Children, Kitchen, Church. So, we made several typical churches - these are beautiful objects with recognizable architecture and good landmarks that will help you not to get lost in the sky. We took care of the little things, so that even flying high you understand that there is life below. Supermarkets and gas stations - it is impossible to imagine the world without them The German national team is one of the most successful national teams in the world. Railway bridges and trains are strategic objects and unique moving targets for each side. Cranes - it is impossible to imagine a port city without them - an excellent landmark and a reason for a challenge. Ferries on rivers are excellent targets, who knows what they carry? Combine harvesters. There is life outside the cities. Special transport - flying over the city you will definitely see police cars, fire trucks, ambulances rushing about - life in cities does not stop.

Yes, our sources match those posted on the forum, thanks again for the help. We were guided by these sources. Several types of SAM sites were made - they differ in size. In addition to them, some airbases have unique elevations for installing radars - these objects are merged with the terrain and were placed according to photos or airfield schemes. Yes, they are empty and will allow you to install your equipment. Look at the screenshots: SAMs, radars are installed in the mission editor - you can install your in these places.

Thank you for your support. We are glad to see that you like the map and this gives us even more desire to improve it. It is very nice when you remember the places where you served or walked as a child. The map is very large and we want to recreate everything, but we have to think about resources and your SSD/HDD. And like any of our maps, it does not stand still and is constantly evolving: it will be improved and refined, including according to user requests. Today we will answer some questions and tell you a little about what we added: @Swiso Yes, most of the buildings are destructible. Many with detailed damage models. The rule with original objects is the same - we don't bomb them @KarlRadek thanks for the information about the quarries. I want to say that this place is already under reconstruction: water is pumped out of the lakes and instead of them there will be quarries, like at that time. There were many requests from you about air defense locations. We had them, but at your requests we increased the number of these places and now they will not only be near large bases. Thanks to everyone who sent in SAM info @Rick Mave Ersatzpisten - they are located mostly south of phase 1, in phase 3 territory, but we can already say - don't worry, you'll be able to land on the road. @C525 today the shelters in Büchel look like this:

Hi fighters! Today we have an architectural tour "From Rostock to Potsdam: Architectural gems on your map" of small towns in Germany. We will walk from the Baltic Sea to the central lands, from strict Hanseatic Gothic to lush Baroque. Fulda - a Baroque treasury Fulda city palace The cathedral constitutes the high point of the Baroque district of Fulda, and is a symbol of the town. Rostock was the largest port in the GDR and the center of East German shipbuilding. St. Mary's Church Kassel - the Fairytale capital of Germany. The city was made famous throughout the world by the Brothers Grimm. Kassel and its surroundings became the very treasury from which the famous fairy tales arose. A gigantic bronze statue of Hercules, 8.25 metres high and weighing 3 tons Kassel Lowenburg. The castle stands on a hill 92 meters high in the Bavarian Alps. Wilhelmshöhe Palace is a Neoclassical palace Orangery (Kassel) Potsdam. Situated on the Havel River and on the banks of several interconnected lakes, 20 km southwest of central Berlin. University of Potsdam and the New Palace Lübeck is a city in northern Germany. A port on the Baltic Sea near the mouth of the Trave River. Historically known as the largest center of the Hanseatic League. Major landmarks are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List @M-Flux get the helicopter ready! St. Mary's Church (Lübeck) Schwerin Castle is a fairytale island castle (1845-1857) — the "Neuschwanstein of the North" Schloss Charlottenburg (Berlin) - one of the most exquisite examples of Baroque architecture in Germany. We won't let you go without airbases: Sperenberg was as a key location for the Soviet forces in East Germany. The airport was a designated transport airfield, and so was equipped with heavy transport types such as the IL-76 and AN-22. The airfield also housed attack helicopters for defensive purposes, as well as out-stationed and transiting bombers. Great location, lots of forest, beyond which only the tails of the planes are visible. Hahn Air Base, a military airbase operated by the US Air Force. (USAF 50th Tactical Fighter Wing) Your F-16 will be based here. NOTAM: FLLW CHNNL, THEY SHW EXTRA STFF

Hi fighters! Today we are going to Hamburg — the second-largest city in Germany, is one of the largest port cities in Europe, located at the mouth of the Elbe River into the North Sea. The Heinrich Hertz Tower (German: Heinrich-Hertz-Turm) is a landmark radio telecommunication tower in the city of Hamburg. Its height is 279.2 meters and it is the tallest building in the city. Heinrich Hertz is a native of Hamburg, who made an important contribution to the development of electrodynamics / Yes, the unit is named after him - Hz. St. Michael's Church is one of the most significant architectural structures in Northern Germany, which is the "calling card" of the city (132-meter baroque tower) Hamburg City Hall (Hamburger Rathaus) is the seat of the local government (senate) and parliament of the city of Hamburg. St. Nicholas Church (German: ehemalige Hauptkirche St. Nikolai - "former main church of St. Nicholas", also German: Mahnmal St. Nikolai - "Memorial of St. Nicholas") is a neo-Gothic church. The second tallest building in Hamburg (147.3 m) and one of the tallest churches in the world - ranks 5th. Hamburg Airport (ICAO: EDDH / IATA: HAM) - everything about this city reminds me of food ) The airport opened in January 1911, making it the oldest international airport in the world that is still in operation. And now we'll move to East Germany The capitalists will be watching this place, finishing their and looking for communist blips on their radars, and the communists will be watching the capitalists. One mistake and in a moment a group of MiGs will be in the air. Garz (The callsign was GESETZ) Airfield of the East German Air Force. It was used for the temporary deployment of wings with construction measures at the home airfields. It was also used by the East German Interflug airlines as "Heringsdorf" A beautiful takeoff/landing over the sea is guaranteed.

Hi Thanks guys! Lots of useful information. Here you go When creating the Cold War Germany map, we also paid attention to the industrial infrastructure, which will be the key to your campaigns! They are always good landmarks and important targets. The Port of Hamburg is the largest trade hub in Northern Europe. In wartime, it becomes a point for unloading NATO reinforcements or a target for logistics strikes. Power plants - can be seen from very far away, you won't get lost. / Destroy the power grid to weaken the enemy industry. Car factories - in wartime, they can switch to the production of military equipment - accordingly, these are your targets, and it looks like this is a place for the challenge Quarries are good landmarks. Mines

What if you have a day off, no missions, a combat buddy is being serviced, and you want to fly? On the map, you can take a break from combat sorties and visit small airfields scattered throughout the territory. Meditate while admiring the hot air balloons at dawn or sunset — or join their flight. There are also aerobatic routes and even a special area for practicing aerobatics. Visit the flying club with friends, take a Yak-52 / Eagle — and off to new adventures! Make a map for: fighters..............OK attack aircraft.......OK helicopters...........OK transport aircraft....OK ground vehicles.......OK general aviation......OK

Hi fighters Let's continue getting to know the map. Hannover is the capital of Lower Saxony and one of the main cities in central Germany. The city is a major junction for railway lines and autobahns, connecting major European lines in the east–west (Berlin–Ruhr area/Düsseldorf/Cologne) and north–south (Hamburg–Frankfurt/Stuttgart/Munich) directions. The landmark of Hanover is the New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus). The height of the dome of the town hall with an observation deck is almost 100 meters (97.73 m). An elevator ascends to the observation deck at the top of the large dome along a variable angle of up to 17 degrees, thought to be unique in the world. One of Hanover's most grandiose sights is the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen, consisting of four parts, which are known as the Grosser Garten, Berggarten, Georgengarten and Welfengarten. Hannover Airport A large civilian hub with long runways. Located 11 km north of central Hannover From 1957 to 1990, the airport hosted the Internationale Luft und Raumfahrtausstellung, Germany's largest air show. In a conflict, it could have become a strategic point for the transfer of NATO forces. Wunstorf Air Base, 30 km west of Hannover. A key hub for the transfer of troops, equipment and supplies in the event of a conflict with the Warsaw Pact. It will add scenarios for you: from protecting transport aircraft to attacks deep into enemy territory, and maybe one day you will take a seat in a C130 and personally deliver cargo to this base. Make a map for: fighters..............OK attack aircraft.......OK helicopters...........OK transport aircraft....OK ground vehicles.......OK ...

Hi fighters There were questions about air defense locations. @Northstar98Yes, on the map you will find places for installing air defense systems: somewhere it will be a cleared area, somewhere hills for radar or prepared territory for an air defense complex. This is done so that you (or mission designers) can place air defense objects and interact with them. @Stratos we wrote about this: if we do this, then after phase 3 - all efforts are now directed to the map. Add wishes, what units are needed, as NineLine recommended. @draconus yes, flags react to the wind, so you will always know its direction Lass uns ein bisschen fliegen
