Colmar-Meyenheim Air Base 132 : This base housed the first all-weather fighter aircraft operated by the French Air Force: the F86-K. Below is a video discussing the use of the North American F86 K-model at the Colmar airbase (video with audio track in English) during the early part of the cold war :

STRASBOURG - Entzheim While waiting for the future on the Germany Cold War map... a bit of history (before cold war) about the Strasbourg Entzheim base The frontier station of Strasbourg - Entzheim was replaced by the air stop at Strasbourg-Nuhof on 15 February 1923. It was then established on only 30 ha Having decided, with their agreement, that the Entzheim aerodrome would be "the final commercial airport in Strasbourg", the Air Minister asked local authorities in 1934 to participate in the extension work which were to cover 65 ha. Following the fact that the project was declared public in August 1936, its execution was terminated in 1939 before the operation, south-west of the airfield, the construction of the terminal which was naturally planned to be served by the Strasbourg road. Since Strasbourg has meanwhile become the seat of a main radio-goniometric station, a landing area in poor visibility was introduced in an approach area on either side of a substantially east/west-oriented descent axis. This sector was protected by an easement plan as well as the one framing a second oriented E-S-E / O-N-O axis. Night marking would be achieved while the visibility-free landing device (radiophar, radio beacons, light pads and approach projector) could already be used when war broke out. The land thus developed was intended to allow the use of three axes of flight length of 1 150 m, 1 400 m, and 1250 m usable. While the south of the terrain had been restored to culture, the Germans established on its eastern part a 12 m wide gravel road with refuges for the garage and protection of heavy aircraft and whose horseshoe route (flagged on the map) developed about 1,800 m. Taking possession of the place, the Americans also used only the surface of the old land. In March 1945, on the other hand, they undertook the construction of a steel plate runway for French aviation. Affected to commercial traffic and private aviation in June 1946, Entzheim airfield retained American traffic lanes only the one north of the runway for its part west of the eastern end of the runway. Opened without restrictions on public air traffic by the ministerial order of 6 February 1947, the Strasbourg-Entzheim airfield will live on this device until the very beginning of the 50s when, breaking with the provisional, a runway with the characteristics of the Air Force will be built according to the optimum N-E/S-O orientation vis-à-vis the regime of winds as well as the relief and existing obstacles. https://www.anciens-aerodromes.com/?p=25095

Hello Vibora, IFF : Here's a track file for a multiplayer mission. The problem can wait. Have a good weekend, first of all. PS: I only have the following mods: C130 and U-60L. Warm regards. Buen día Vibora, Respecto al problema del IFF Aquí hay un archivo de seguimiento de una misión en modo multijugador (.TRK) . El problema puede esperar, sobre todo que tengáis un buen fin de semana. Solo tengo los siguientes mods C130 y U-60L Cordial saludo caucasus_air_land_sea_targets-20250419-171003.trk

Hello Aerges Team, the IFF panel (under the fuel selectors) is no longer clickable (at least with the EE version). I can't activate the rotators and other switches in IFF mode 4 or any of the other 3 modes. Is this a bug or is there a new procedure to activate them ? ... or is it my configuration?

@Bremspropeller and @grim_reaper68 Thank you for your attentive aerial overview ! This seems rather encouraging. Talking with players (French, of course), the community is really looking forward to one (at least) French airport .

@Bremspropeller Thanks ! Indeed, FATAC (Force Aerienne TACtique) is a part of the French Air Force. FATAC is an operational command and a territorial organization supporting its air units. Created in July 1965, FATAC received responsibility for all tactical units stationed in France and Germany following France's departure from NATO's integrated military command. (http://a3ba103.free.fr/Cerpa/Guerre_froide_1961_02_25_fevrier_1961_creation_fatac.pdf ) I really hope that Fatac (French Air Force) will have at least one base ! Our Belgian friends will have eight, and our Dutch friends seven...

Very pleased with the upcoming arrival of this map, which is a much-anticipated playground. The precise work and level of detail are remarkable. But the absence of a French Air Force airfield in the French section is truly disconcerting. Okay, France left NATO command after the 1966 decision, but the country remained in NATO and, along with its allies, ensured defense against the USSR. It's truly regrettable that the western part of the Rhine doesn't have a single French base; Colmar AB or Strasbourg AB have their place. @Ugra : Please don't abandon the French community, just make it a single French base and then, as a poet and singer said, "Oh, think twice, it will be just another day for you, you and me in paradise."

@Nicodcs69 Thanks for this post ! It's true that often the comments posted concern requests or bug reports... So, thank you to the Aerges team for this module, well-made and constantly improving. Keep it up! Muchas gracias

Some French Airbases and Dispersed Operating Bases (DOBs) / for Area Phase 3 Colmar-Meyenheim (47° 55′ 21″ N, 7° 23′ 59″ E), Strasbourg-Entzheim (48° 32′ 32″ N, 7° 38′ 03″ E), or Metz-Frescaty (49° 04′ 35″ N, 6° 08′ 02″ E) and Hélicopter Base : Phalsbourg > some more détails : http://www.france-air-nato.net/STRUCTURE/Pages_web/Accueil-Fr.html Thanks @grim_reaper68 and @Bremspropeller null

@grim_reaper68 Hello You're right, these airbase exist but ... (except Phalsbourg ) not sure they are in the area of the phase 3 map

Hello Ugra Média For Phase 3, the inclusion of at least one French air base would be highly appreciated. ! Indeed, several bases could be within the perimeter of the Phase 3 map and were in service during the Cold War. The Colmar-Meyenheim and Strasbourg air bases hosted various aircraft, including the Mirage F1. Colmar also has the unique feature of having a road serving (airstrip) as a emergency landing site (with parking) just a few kilometers away : ( http://www.france-air-otan.net/STRUCTURE/Pages_web/FAF_Colmar-Meyenheim_Historique_2_Fr.html ) . some Cold War air bases in eastern France : Colmar-Meyenheim (47° 55′ 21″ N, 7° 23′ 59″ E), Strasbourg-Entzheim (48° 32′ 32″ N, 7° 38′ 03″ E), or Metz-Frescaty (49° 04′ 35″ N, 6° 08′ 02″ E)

Hello Ugra Media team, Great job, it will be a must have. The views really make me want to get it as soon as possible ! Is there a release date planned ?

Cold War air bases in eastern France : Are French Cold War air bases planned, such as Colmar-Meyenheim (47° 55′ 21″ N, 7° 23′ 59″ E), Strasbourg-Entzheim (48° 32′ 32″ N, 7° 38′ 03″ E), or Metz-Frescaty (49° 04′ 35″ N, 6° 08′ 02″ E) ? That would be really great !

I understand your argument and I had the same thought... But all this is still awaiting a response: why put a French version of AI in this video and not an F1EE or even the F1M?

Hello, just a funny impression: why in the DCS video “2025 and beyond” (1'14'') a Mirage F1 CR version (only French) and with French roundels is presented instead of a Mirage F1 M version (Spanish)... It seemed to me that this type of video was reserved for future new features (and not for AIs already developed). Just a coincidence ? link to video > (1'14'') I would also have liked ED to highlight the next F1M version a little more, but I hope we will have news later Hola, solo una impresión divertida: ¿por qué en el video de DCS "2025 and beyond" (1'14'') se presenta una versión Mirage F1 CR (solo en francés) y con escarapelas francesas en lugar de una versión Mirage F1 M (español)...? Me pareció que este tipo de vídeo estaba reservado para futuras novedades (y no para las IA ya desarrolladas) ¿Solo una coincidencia? También me hubiera gustado que ED resaltara un poco más la próxima versión F1M, pero espero que tengamos novedades más adelante

Great, can't wait to see more. I'm sure the M version of the Mirage F1 will bring other possibilities with all these improvements in progress. Well i wasn't before a big fan of the F104, it makes me want to after this video ! nice work

Hello F1 fans If you want to watch Mirage F1M take off and land (for real), here is a video made on the Spanish F1 airbase (C14) :

Hi Even if the lights do not work, on my side after test with a friend (in F16); by putting on the ON position and pressing the button to activate the BARAX; the jam works

Completely agree with grim_reaper68 Totalmente de acuerdo con grim_reaper68

Thanks a lot ! Indeed, thank you for the monitoring and development. As there are 3 mages ; The first is the RPL201, the second could be the Matra JL-100, and the third, the Exocet with the F1M? De hecho, gracias por el seguimiento y el desarrollo. Como son 3 magos ; El primero es el RPL201, el segundo podría ser el Matra JL-100, y el tercero, el Exocet con el F1M?

Matra S530F : new video : Mirage F1EE Teaser

Some information on the presence of the Mirage F1 in the Greek Air Force (Μερικές πληροφορίες για την παρουσία του Mirage F1 στην Πολεμική Αεροπορία) sources: https://news.matia.gr/2022-02/afieroma-sta-ellinika-mirage-f1-me-aformi-tin-ptosi-aeroskafous-stis-ipa/ https://www.defencenet.gr/amyna/aeroporia/900065_mirage-f1cg-i-istoria-toy-gallikoy-antikatoptrismoy-stin-pa?amp= https://www.ptisidiastima.com/43-years-mirage-f1-haf/ In a context of changing internal politics and particular geopolitics, the USA refused to sell 36 Phantom F-4Es to Greece. Reasons why this country turned to France and the aeronautical manufacturer Dassault to acquire new planes. The agreement for the purchase of 40 Mirage F1C aircraft was signed on June 16, 1974... but Dassault could not deliver the aircraft gradually until 1983. Greece needed the aircraft immediately and it was therefore decided, after the intervention of the French President, an accelerated delivery of the 40 Mirage F 1Cs ordered. This was made possible by delaying deliveries to the French Air Force in favor of the Hellenic Air Force. Convoyed by Greek pilots, the first two Mirage F.1CGs were received on August 5, 1975 (code 101 and 102) in Tanagra (fifty kilometers north of the capital, Athens). It is also this base where the first Rafale (Dassault) were received. On August 6, 1975, seven other F1-CG landed, and thus joined the 342nd All Weather Squadron at the controls of Convair F-102A and TF-102A Delta Dagger. The second Squadron equipped with Mirage F1-CG, was the 334th Air Force officially created in May 1977. Deliveries were completed in early April 1978, with the arrival of Mirage F1-CG number 140 on Tanagra. At the end of 1975 the Mirage F.1CGs also began to fly operational missions, the Mirage F1 was the Hellenic Air Force's main interceptor fighter over the Aegean Sea for more than 15 years. The version delivered to Greece was armed with two internal 30mm cannons, but in 1976 the semi-active R530 medium-range guided missile was introduced, followed a year later by the infrared-guided R550 Magic. At the same time, at the request of the Air Force General Staff, the American AIM-9 Sidewinder was added to the arsenal of the F1-CG (initially two AIM-9J Sidewinders on the wings then replaced by the AIM-9P-2 and from 1990, by the AIM-9P-4 version). The Mirage F1 remained in service for 29 years, the last being retired in 2004.

another suggestion, which is worth 10 cents : a birthday? what was announced two years ago?
