Hey, thanks a lot for giving us a life sign - and good to have you back. I was wondering what happened. Please take all the time you and the team need. You did an amazing and very welcome mod, excellent job. Please share all future updates and make it available for public. With you Mig-25 mod a dream became true. It is very professionell and I am very thankful. All the best, keep up your amazing work!

Regarding the crash in 1966 - some background info, in German. https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/flugzeugabsturz-ueber-west-berlin-die-vergessenen-helden-100.html

This was "my time when I was schoolboy, I was interested in but definitely too young the realize the impact and visiting/spotting all the soviet metal over my head. I my near area where Mig-21. 23, 25, 27 29 based. The noise was unacceptabe some days, the pollution even on weekends and nightime was a crazy thing. That was amazing and scaring the same time. I watched a crash of a Mig-23UB (causing 2 fatal injuries) while taking off when I visited the prohibited area around the airfield in my home town after school looking the jets landing and take off with full burner. Earth was shaking, the noise is unforgetable. . . kids were "allowed" by the soviet guards and security officers. Crazy times, not sooo long ago. But yes, good old times. . . in some sense. It is also a dream that comes to be true with this upcoming map. I am a DCS fanboy since Flanker series Day 1. Always tried to modify all the stuff to simulate soviet air power in my mission building and modding the game regarding this. Thanks out to Urbi and Grandsurf Steffen May, long times ago. . . he always inspired me and let me use his fantastic mods and work. Let´s hope and see what we will get per default from ED with the Germany Cold War map , hopefully no mods are needed in the future. . . Hoping for a Mig-23 or/and 27 at least. . .

You are right, but with 5-10% population. . . in Germany we need up to 40-50%. . . I think / hope that we will have more or less entire germany simulated, at least mostly eastern gemany and the most strategic part of western germany. Don´t forget, with all air and helikopter bases simulated - both german armies and the ones of the allies, we will reach a total lnumber of minimum 100. . . maybe more. Dont forget the other military installation and strategic places. This was the highest armed and most dangerous place of the world for 40 years. . .

way tooo big, 1/3 to half the size max. . .

Too nice to be true! Please give us finally this beauty, even when it will be AI only. . . especially in regard to the upcoming germany cold war map. Good luck!

No, there were only soviet fighters over western Berlin / and a spetacular crash into the Stössensee happened 1966 with a Yak-28P from Finow, when the pilot tried to avoid a crash into public buildings and surely a lot of victims on the ground.

and Engels. . . GDR/soviet base taken over by NATO/Bluefor

Where is this info from? Confirmed?

My 2 cents - New Map: Georgia

all fake news. like Fulda, MiG-23 and Cold war. . . I move over to war thunder finally. . . make flight sims great again. . .

Really, guys? Maybe this is the wrong Hobby / Simulator for you? This is a very common thing on many airports of the world. . . to practise/train firefighting in case of a plane crash landing. . . it a mockup which can be set on fire.

amazing, exactly what is needed! this is looking very promising!

very nice. . . please share with us. Can you also do a typical grey one for VVS/soviet army aviation?

we definitely need the soviet era skin. . . hopefully somebody can do a proper one.

JUST ONE WORD. AWFUL. but anyways, thanks for sharing!!

any news? BR

woohhooo, thanks. this is looking amazing, great work and stunning result. please share!

ooops. same sh*t as so often in the past. . . screenshots were no longer accessable. . . not a good sign. . .

I miss it too, it was / hopefully soon again is a great source and documentation. BUT: Why disrespect SD´s wish?

no other area would make sense . . maybe a part of western Poland, too. We will have mountains and hills, Thuringia and the Harz, Weserbergland and so on. . . When all related airbases and military installation will be modeled, this would be thrilling. WOW. . . so many Soviet, and NVA and Nato and Luftwaffe airbases. . . every 25-50km you will have another one. . .

in the right corner top of the Schönefeld airfield screenshot you can clearly see the iron curtain e.g. Berlin wall "no man´s land strip" and obviously all related installations which seperates western Berlin from the former east (GDR). From my perspective, with this map around ´89 a dream would become true!!

amazing work, great effort!

sounds great! very good news. is there an opportunity to share your work?

Hello Urbi, you did a fantastic job with skins and paints and tactical numbers for the Tu´s and Yak.. Could you please provide it for the community or include it in the Mod? Also for the Su-15 and Su-7 Mod that are around. . .
