And now we are going to the very heart of the Cold War - to the military bases of the GDR and FRG, as well as to the legendary Teufelsberg. On the map "Cold War" you will find dozens of military bases, placed based on historical data. These are your starting points, landmarks or targets. Teufelsberg is not just a hill in West Berlin (all the garbage from all over Berlin was dumped there, which is how this mountain was formed), but a legendary radio interception station. Here the Americans set up their radar and listened to "conversations behind the Iron Curtain". Military base FRG Military base GDR The Helmstedt–Marienborn border crossing by the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was the largest and most important border crossing on the Inner German border during the division of Germany. Rügen is Germany's largest island. During the Cold War, it was a strategically important site for the GDR and the USSR. It housed military installations that played a key role in the defense and surveillance of the Baltic Sea. ---------------------------------------------- und - Schenk mir einen Bitburger ein Get your "BT" stencils ready to apply these letters to the tails of your F-15s Bitbutg Air Base From 1952 until 1994, Bitburg Air Base was a front-line NATO air base. It was the home of the United States Air Force's 36th Tactical Fighter Wing for over 40 years as part of the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE)

Hi Watch the videos. They show everything from different heights and angles. @RhineHornet thanks! This is really helpful. In the meantime, let's go for a ride and look at the map from ground level.

Hallo, Genossen! Today we continue our journey along the Cold War map and head to Leipzig, a city where socialist reality meets history, and the Soviet pavilion reminds us of the times when Trabants were a dream, and a line for bananas was a real adventure. When there was a happy childhood and comrades all around. As part of the GDR, Leipzig was the second most populous city and, thanks to the annual trade and industrial exhibition, served as a kind of calling card of the republic. Leipzig is not only a large industrial center of the GDR, but also an important strategic hub - from here you can quickly get to the Fulda Gap or key targets deep in enemy territory. Comrades, you are flying to Leipzig: at the same time, take a look at the airport, look at the monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) - a huge monument dedicated to the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. This is a great landmark for navigation. Meet at the Soviet Pavilion (Achilleion) - the Soviet Pavilion was not just an exhibition hall, but a real symbol of the Soviet presence in the GDR ------------------------------------------------------- Leipzig/Halle Airport - Gateway to the GDR Skies Leipzig Airport is a true symbol of the era. One of the key airports of the GDR, where both civilian and military aircraft were based. Interflug Tu-134s landed here, Air France and British Airways operated Concorde flights from Paris and London when the Leipzig fair was held. Leipzig Airport awaits you! -------------------------------------------------- Sembach Air Base Now we move west to Germany, where Sembach Air Base (Sembach Kaserne) awaits you. Situated about 19 miles (31 km) east of Ramstein Air Base, it is one of NATO's key bases and played an important role in protecting Western European airspace. If you are no stranger to the A-10, this base will feel like home to you. Here you can take your F-4 Phantom or A-10 Thunderbolt II into the sky and enjoy the beautiful views - the base is surrounded by picturesque forests, making it not only strategically important, but also visually impressive.

Hallo, Kampfpiloten. We are glad that you are interested in the map and liked the chosen territory. Thank you for your feedback and information, this is very valuable to us. We do not hide the territory of development, we immediately opened the list of airfields and showed the map so that you know what to expect. But some questions and wishes have appeared (you are so insatiable! ), so we will answer some of them. Many asked about the date (I will not list them all) for now we can answer that we are planning the release of the map within a year. @Geschirre, yes, there is Bibturg, it is included in the first phase and, moreover, you will see it this week. There are a lot of wishes about adding phase 3 airfields and bases located outside the map boundaries. We are happy with this, it means that we have covered all the most important things in phase 1. It is too early to talk about expanding the map (spare your SSDs), but we are analyzing all your suggestions and arguments, when the time comes to update the map boundaries, we will announce it. @cfrag about German Asset Pack: we will think about it, if we release it, it will be after phase 3. Cold War Germany map is our priority. You can create a topic and specify the models that you would like us to move to the pack. We will try to keep you updated and publish reviews of the map every week on Friday and Saturday. Follow the forum and subscribe to the Youtube channel (at your request, we renamed it), sometimes short videos may appear there. Also, at the end of this or next week, our joint FAQ post with ED will be published Ich bin weggeflogen!

Now you know that DCS: Cold War Germany will be interesting not only for users of the aviation part of DCS World, but also for users of military ground vehicles and allows you to implement a huge number of scenarios: - Confrontation of the Warsaw Pact and NATO countries with the possibility of reconstructing the war between the socialist camp and the collective West. - Implementation of exercises of the Warsaw Pact and NATO countries (Brotherhood in Arms (1980), Shield (1984), Able Archer 83. - Possible scenarios of the third world war. A separate important component of the map will be the implementation of military training grounds, where scenarios of interaction between different types of ground vehicles and air groups were practiced, this will allow players to implement scenarios of military exercises simultaneously for aviation and ground vehicles. Large Magdeburg training ground Infrastructure of tank ranges of the GDR and FRG Next week we will show the city of the Peaceful Revolution - Leipzig. Auf Wiedersehen!

DСS Cold War Germany for Helicopter Pilots. It seems to me that helicopter pilots now have unlimited opportunities to use the map. In addition to airfields, there are now more than 70 equipped helipads from which you can take off. Helicopter ferrying, cargo and personnel delivery, medical flight, sightseeing flight, attacking targets - all this is available. The sites are located everywhere: in the city, on the plain, in the mountains. In some places, you will have to fly carefully taking into account obstacles and the curvature of the terrain. We also made real heliports, they are great for training and as a center for the beginning of joint combat operations. Hospital helipads Helipad at the training ground and at the military base Helipad in the mountains (you were worried about the Transmitter - everything is fine, it is in place ) Heliports: Fulda - US Army airfield. It was located on the strategically important Fulda Gorge, which the West considered a likely place for a Soviet tank attack. Therefore, numerous transport, observation and attack helicopters were stationed in Fulda. Schweinfurt Army Heliport - is used by the US Army located in Bavaria (ger: Bayern) Bückeburg Air Base is used by the German Army's School of Army Aviation Malwinkel Air Base (joint) - major Soviet air / helicopter base

Guten Abend, Europa! / Guten Morgen, Amerika! When we were just planning "Cold War Germany", it was immediately clear that we needed to make not just a map, but something more: a place where you can realize all the possibilities of the DСS World. In addition to the fact that we made a large number of airfields on the map (more than 59), we scattered many helipads throughout the map, so it will be equally interesting for airplane and helicopter pilots. Access to all points of interest is maximum - you can take a short flight. And this seemed not enough ... Some real Cold War scenarios assumed massive ground battles, so we tried to make the map interesting for tanks as well: tank military bases and training grounds were added, where you can practice tactics and shooting. Get ready, we will show you a lot today. Let's start with the basis of our map - the airbase. The place from where you go on a mission and where you will definitely return. Airbases are the heart of any military campaign, and on the "Cold War" map they are recreated with historical accuracy. Our screenshots show key NATO and Warsaw Pact bases. Experience the atmosphere of West Germany (FRG - Federal Republic of Germany) and East Germany (GDR - German Democratic Republic). Get ready to take off! Gross-Dolln (Templin Air Base) (GDR) - Soviet air base. The field was special not only because of the very spacious facilities. It also had an auxiliary runway, which ran from the airfield in a southwestern direction, with a remote dispersal area at the end. Buchel (FRG) - Büchel Air Base is a military air base of the Luftwaffe. Spangdahlem (FRG) - is a NATO air base is used by the United States Air Force (some of you know her well). Wittstock (Alt Daber) (GDR) - Soviet air base. Soviet pilots had warm memories of this place. The Soviet pilots had warm memories of this place. And of course the children who lived nearby.

Hallo! Wie geht's? We are pleased to present our new project — the Cold War map, which will take you to Central Europe during the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Expect historical accuracy, unique locations, and the atmosphere of the era! Central Europe was the epicenter of the Cold War. We recreated the key locations of this period and tried to convey the atmosphere of that time, and we have big plans for this territory. Take a look at the first screenshots of the Cold War map. On this map, you will find historically accurate locations, including Berlin — a symbol of the Cold War, divided by a wall, dense forests of the Fulda Gap, key airfields and military bases. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the era when the world was balancing on the brink of a global conflict. Stay tuned — there is still a lot of interesting things ahead! We are just getting started. Tomorrow we will tell you about some airfields and opportunities for you. Let's start, of course, with Berlin — a symbol of the Cold War The Berlin Wall (Checkpoint Charlie). The wall that divided families, the nation and the world Barbed wire "decorated" the border area of Berlin Berlin at night. Look at the color of the street lighting in the western and eastern parts weiter... Fulda (here begins the Fulda Gap - the probable place of movement of the ground forces of the opposing sides) There are many military facilities located on the map. Military training areas Port of Hamburg Automobilwerk und natürlich Ramstein Air Base - the main NATO air base. You will be a frequent guest here ... or will this be your target The Brocken Transmitter on the Brocken, the highest mountain in Northern Germany Nun, tschüss!

@draconus yes, these objects are just big, we need another parameter for effects or support for small destructions. We hope all this will be. @Red_Dragon That's right. We try to get the maximum quality, without forgetting about your FPS. And imagine what happens when we want to add something new )

Hi We decided to separate the destruction topic into a separate thread. We plan to tell you a little more about the destruction and get your feedback. Here you will learn how the destruction models work, and will be able to suggest improvements on this topic. I will duplicate the list of original damage models from the review. Stay tune

Hi As promised, we have dropped a list of original destructible objects. And now we will supplement it with screenshots and coordinates. Wipe your sights! Open list: 360 Building Adana HiltonSA Aleppo International Airport Terminal Aleppo thermal power plant Atatürk Barajı (Dam Ataturk) 1 Atatürk Barajı (Dam Ataturk) 2 Damascus International Airport Terminal Damascus Tower Euphrates dam Four Seasons Hotel Damascus Gaziantep Havalimanı Airport Terminal Haifa Refinery Cooling Towers KEAN Soft Drinks Factory Lafarge cement plant Larnaca International Airport Terminal Nicosia International Airport Terminal Olympic Residence Panorama Towers Paphos International Airport Terminal Rafik Hariri International Airport Terminal Sail Tower Sama Beirut Sheraton Grand Adana SkyGate Syrian Presidential Palace Tishrin Dam Platinum Tower P.S.: watched the video - it turned out to be a fiery video response

Hi In order to offer new opportunities we had to take this step. For logic, the main reference point is the airfield ID, and the name is made the same so as not to clutter the map (initially, we have more complex names H_s_01, etc.) - When viewing the map, this is too inconvenient, since there is no separate type of helipads in the DCS and the names merge with the airfields. We are solving this problem, if you have any ideas, write. It is important to us that the map is equally convenient for players and mission creators

"UM001, RADIO CHECK" Hi Today will not be an ordinary review. I want to show you a video created by our team of testers Ugra-Media, for which we are very grateful. This is the first experience of creating videos, we wish you good luck and look forward to new works. By creating this video, we wanted to draw the attention of users of the Syria map to the new features that appeared on it in the latest and upcoming updates on October 30. Among them, we first of all want to highlight the new Israeli airfields Ben Gurion, Hatzor, Palmaсhim and Tel Nof. The appearance on the Syria map of more than 100 military bases and helipads. The ability to destroy most of the original objects, including the tolls on the Euphrates. And hundreds of other improvements that we added to the Syria map.

Hi fighters Today we continue the story about our update. The words "Main", "most", "largest" best suit this message, and all this applies to our new airfields: Ben Gurion International Airport and Tel Nof Airbase. These are the main runways of Israel for civilians and military. A little information: Ben Gurion International Airport (ICAO: LLBG), is the main international airport of Israel. Situated on outskirts north of the city of Lod and directly south of the city of Or Yehuda, it is the busiest airport in the country. It is located 45 km to the northwest of Jerusalem and 20 km to the southeast of Tel Aviv. Tel Nof Airbase (ICAO: LLEK), also known as Air Force Base 8, is the oldest and main base of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) located 5 km south of Rehovot, Israel. Tel Nof houses two strike fighter, two helicopter and a UAV squadron. Also located on the base are the Flight Test Center Manat and several special units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), among others Unit 669 (heliborne Combat Search and Rescue, CSAR) and the Paratroopers Brigade training center and its headquarters Plan a business trip to Ben Gurion, you will be met there and taken to Tel Nof to get acquainted with the new territory List of changes: - Added new airfields Ben Gurion, Hatzor, Palmaсhim, Tel Nof. - Optimized models of small objects. - Improved models of Airbus A300 and An-26 airplanes. - Improved min textures on the texture of the ground and objects. - Improved two military bases with helipads. - Improved refinery scene south of Palmashim. - Added new terminal models and Ben Gurion tower. - Added Airbus A300 and An-26 airplanes in the airfield scenes of Deir ez-Zor, Latakia, Marj Ruhayyil, Nejrab, Beirut, Damascus, Tabqa, Ben Gurion. - Added destruction models for original objects: Bank of Cyprus, Beirut SkyGate, Limasol KEAN Factory, Paphos Terminal, Sheraton Adana Hotel, Dam Ataturk, Dam Tishrin, Ben Gurion terminal. - Fixed bugs in Akrotiri Paphos airfields - Fixed bugs in terrain and scenes of veon bases. - Fixed bugs in terrain, vectordata and common scenes. - Fixed a bug with the collision of helipads on the roofs of the Bank of Cyprus and Sheraton Adana Hotel. - Fixed license plates on cars and inscriptions on buildings.

Hi Fighters We continue to introduce you to the upcoming map update, work on which is in full swing. First of all, we want to thank you for your feedback: Thank you for this! We are glad that you liked the idea and the new functionality of the map. The Ugra-Media team is making every effort to make the map even more interesting and continues to take into account the opinions and requests of DCS users. Recently, we expanded the functionality of the map, you asked to add new locations and we did it. Now you have even more opportunities for new flights and missions. Let's take a look at one of the new features: Hatzor is an Israeli military base built in 1942 for the British Royal Air Force (hello Normandy 2.0). The Combined Operations Center for the US military and Israel is located here. It is interesting that the base has simulators for training F-15 and F-16 pilots and the 420th Squadron or "Fighter Aircraft Simulator Squadron" is stationed here - these guys understand us better than anyone. something new

Hi! We continue working on Normandy 2.0. The main goal of the current update is optimization. Adhering to the strategy "Never stop improving" along with optimization, we made local improvements to objects and something new. We added three airfields: Eastchurch, Headcorn and Hawkinge. And three original objects: Basilica of the Sacre Coeur, Palace of Versailles and Hampton Court Palace. Now there will be places where you can start your career in the training center or complete a mission as part of a squadron. Fly, explore and conquer List of changes in Normandy: - Optimization of building and structure models. - Optimization of scenes. - Improved scene of the bridge near the Palace of Westminster. - Improved model of Notre-Dame de Paris. - Added airfields Eastchurch, Headcorn and Hawkinge. - Added three original objects: Basilica Sacré Coeur, Palace of Versailles and Hampton Court Palace. - Added tall flags at forts and major cities. - Fixed errors in airfields with the same callsign. - Fixed errors in terrain, vectordata and scenes. Headcorn Hawkinge Palace of Versailles Hampton Court Palace

Hi My ATC is working, so the controller should contact you in the next update. Write at which airfields it still doesn't work for you. I selectively loaded airfields and there was communication with the control tower. P.S.: Keep in mind that if you selected a "hot start" in the mission editor, then permission to taxi has already been given. To continue the dialogue with the controller, select "abort takeoff" and start again - then it will work.

Hi fighters! Congratulations on the map update. Let's see what's new. The update was conceived as a minor one: we first collected your wishes on the forum and worked on them, while simultaneously conducting optimization. But in the end, we decided to add new objects and expand the functionality for pilots and mission creators: Attack aircraft, new targets have been prepared for you: many military bases have been added. Helicopter pilots, many opportunities are open to you, your flight geography has been increased. Check out the map: you need to deliver personnel and cargo to military bases, pick up a general from a new training ground, or make a difficult landing at a stadium. What we have in the release: The scenes of 51 airfields have been improved. Improved scenes of 50 military bases: - Syria 30 - Israel 8 - Lebanon 3 (UN bases) - Turkey 2 - Cyprus 7 61 new military bases have been added: - Syria 24 - Israel 17 - Jordan 5 - Lebanon 15 Helicopter pads have been added to 93 military bases. Helicopter pads have been added to standard hospitals, stadiums, and oil fields. New facilities have been added: a typical hospital, T-55, BTR-60, a gas torch, large flags, liveries for the a300, airfield radars, a weather site. The territory of the central part of Israel has been added. Missing parts of the aeronautical charts have been added. The models were optimized. Scenes have been optimized. Fixed: - increased parking size for F-4E aircraft at Sayqal Air Base; - lighting in the hangar of the Incirlik Air Base; - taxiways at Muwaffak Salti airfield; - the size of parking lots for C-130 and Il-76 aircraft at the Amman airfield has been increased; - changed the Amman airfield icon in the mission editor; - part of the fence has been moved away from RUNWAY 26 at Gazipasa airfield; - Added an air traffic control tower at the King Hussein Air College; - added an air traffic control tower at the King Abdullah II Air Base; - objects on Patriot launch pads at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base have been removed; - added runway and taxiway signs at Prince Hassan Air Base; - TACAN upgraded to VORTAC at Prince Hassan Air Base; - ILS identifier and frequency at Prince Hassan Air Base; - relief of the monument to the unknown soldier in Damascus; - relief Sanctuary of Notre Dame du Lebanon in Beirut; - broken road and bridge near Latakia; - many visible joints of earth textures; - a lot of minor flaws in the relief of the map. - the size of parking lots at Dumayr, King_Abdullah_II_Air_Base, Shayrat, H3 Southwest, Damascus, Adana, Abu_Ad_Duhur, Al_Qusayr, Aleppo, Herzliya airfields has been increased. 1. Military bases. More than 100 bases across the map. 2. Tank training grounds. In addition to the training ground, they include a military town, warehouses and garages for equipment, and helipads. 3. Hospitals with helipads. Try yourself in the difficult conditions of the city. Watch your altitude! 4. Torches and helipads at oil and gas fields. "It's not personal. It's just business" - fuel is always needed. You will have to transport a team of workers or guard these objects. 5. New objects. Surely you have seen such flags, now you will have no doubts over which territory you are. Added civilian airfield equipment and diversified static liveries. 6. Night. It's just beautiful Fly, have fun, leave reviews - we read everything, but do not relax: we hope that in October we will be able to please map users with news about another update.

Hi We would like to thank the community for its attention to the project. Today we will show you a small update of Normandy. We've added two new airfields that you may be familiar with: Dunkirk & High Halden - so there are now 79 military airfields on the Normandy map. And we have made small changes to three existing airfields: Detling, Lympne, Manston - for you it will be as if you have returned from vacation, you see everything the same, but at the same time everything has become noticeably better. The specifics of historical maps require constant attention to references, and in this regard you help us a lot: @DD_Fenrir the runway was left, the global restructuring of Manston will be in the next iteration. Everyone will be able to see these results. Keep checking back for updates soon Dunkirk High Halden Detling Lympne Manston

Hi fighters! Thank you for your interest in our project. As promised before, we continue to support and develop it! If you are familiar with the symbols: "F-16", then you will be pleased with today's news. Previously, this place was inaccessible to you, but we have prepared a surprise for you. Get ready for your military trip to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase. The aviation history of this place dates back to the First World War. It was home to the Royal Jordanian Air Force, Belgian Air Component and United States Air Force. Helicopters, transport aircrafts, fighter aircraft, drones - everyone was here. By the way, we made new unique hangars for this airbase, now your birds will be safe. Even though the canteen (DFAC) is no longer as tasty as experienced fighters say, the rule of three drinks has been preserved and you will be covered by MFR (the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation program). The Internet is available, but may fail, so be sure to take a hard drive with your favorite movies with you. When you arrive at the location, tell us whether you liked it or not, we tried to provide all the conditions for you. Here's a little review for you

Hi fighters Today we will show 2 airfields Herzliya (Israel) and Amman (Jordan). Since the first post about the update, many events have happened: new airfields have been upgraded, changes have been made to old ones. If you see corrections to your requests on the forum, be sure to write in your topic. I hope that we will see the next screenshots of this update from you Herzliya (Israel) Amman (Jordan) (over there on the highway to the left of the airport you can drink good Arabic coffee)
