CV-66 pass Suez Channel on 1981.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal#/media/File:USS_America_(CV-66)_in_the_Suez_canal_1981.jpg About Suez limitations (tipical carrier draft has 12 meters, Suez limitations has 18-20 meters). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suezmax Suez navigation rules: https://www.suezcanal.gov.eg/English/Navigation/Pages/RulesofNavigation.aspx

The carriers dont go to enter into de baltic, but some carriers on the north sea can launch strikes vs all baltic front and denay / Supresse and Destroy the baltic fleet and air assets, and make deep strikes vs soviet territory. On fact, on the document, has very clear the Navy need to support combat operations on that front and central front.

Has a post form me somewhere, about the Suez navigation rules... and a carrier follow that rules, cross that without problems. And about the carriers, someone missing the Baltic Gap...

Other detail, has a "M1A2 SEP" updated 3D model on the ED Screenshots (outside of the M1A2 Sep 3? from "2024 and Beyond"), not sure if centred on a "Germany Reunification" time period, intent check about more details. Recomend open a "DCS Newsletter title pics" outside to them, I start to think that title pics will be show more and more "Easter egg" with the time.

ED Screenshots: M1A2 SEP 1 or 2? update, with smoke launchers.

Карта размером со всю Германию была бы вдвое меньше Афганистана... расширьте ее еще немного, и вы буквально увидите все страны НАТО и основные базы Варшавского договора в Чехословакии и Польше.

From Fulda to Berlín-Brandeburgo (Berlin).... Make all "Germany" take 605.928 square Km.... very small compared with Afghanistan (on fact has halved DCS: Afghanistan (total) Area: 1449216 sq km) If ED makes a terrain similar to Afghanistan, it can model from England (London) to Poland frontier and from Switzerland / Austrian frontier to the north sea / Baltic, including, part of France, Belgic, Holland, Luxemburg, Denmark and part from Czechoslovakia. I start to thinking the other "WW2 map" on progress claimed by Wags.......

The "Other" Base....

good find... now "Germany / Fulda Gap has confirmed.

The only available "resource" has the "german airport" show on CH-47 Video, but found them has a mistery.

Other "Strangle" pic, from the last newsletter...

Strangle airport on the last newsletter... no Kola or Caucasus airport... EDIT: Confirmed that has Berlin Schönefeld airport.... ED "Germany" map on progress.

That animations has implemented actualy into AH-64D module as a animation argument on modelviewer, but actualy, has no implemented into DCS World. Meanwhile, Chizh has talked about enter / exit pilot features has planned to implement on a future. Only see on the AH-64D (I need check other 3d models).

Странный. На изображении изображен аэропорт с двумя взлетно-посадочными полосами (огни приближения второй взлетно-посадочной полосы видны в верхней центральной части изображения, выступая под первым МиГ-29). Ни один российский, норвежский, шведский или финский аэропорт на карте Кольского полуострова не соответствует такой схеме взлетно-посадочных полос. Они также не соответствуют ни одному из тех, что изображены на карте Кавказа. Таким образом, «зеленой» карты с этими треками на данный момент не существует.

Wislist section on english for core features has here: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/207-dcs-core-wish-list/

surely, the system will be expanded to other bombs, actualy has only implement on Mk-80, LGBs and cluster, but has many bombs no implemented yet.

Soviet/Russian bombs has no implement fuzes yet.
