I've been closely following the development and announcements of improvements to all the maps and I noticed that the Syria map is getting a lot of airports in Israel. Simply put, it's being expanded. There was even a disagreement in the past about removing part of Israel. I even wrote something before the topic was locked. You can see it below and don't get me wrong this is very good for everyone! I'm glad this is happening. The point of the thread is that I would love to make a request to OnReTech. I would love to see all of Israel made and parts of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon included in the development. I don't mean all of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, but a part of the beginning of the country. If the Sinai map is not taken care of, it will attract few buyers. I want the Sinai map to grow every day and become something on the same level as Syria. Don't take this personally. I want only the best from OnReTech and its developers. Of course I can't help but say that I appreciate the great improvements the map has received! Thank you!

Good afternoon everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know about a new mini-campaign for the best helicopter in DCS. I'm creating this thread for any feedback, bug reports, etc. because I don't get notified on new Comments in the User Files. The summary: In April of 2022, a Brazilian journalist has been kidnapped near the Ba'ath Dam. You've been hired by a Private Military Company to provide helicopter support and transport to help locate and rescue the journalist. The campaign has full voiceovers with kneeboard pages. It's not meant to be a difficult campaign. As long as you can start up, take off, and land the Huey in FARP-sized landing areas, it will be fine. The difficulty ramps up through the 4 missions, however. If you're interested, here's a link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3334386/ Thanks, and fly safe!

"The Cedar and the Rooster : A Mirage Story" is a fictional story-based 10 mission campaign for the Mirage 2000C, fully voiced-over, taking place in the Middle East. Briefing doc and kneeboard available for each mission. Situation : February 1993. Despite the end of the civil war in 1990, Lebanon is remaining in a unsettled situation. Militias, directed undercover by Syria and Iran, are agitating the country. After heated discussions within the international community, France has decided to send 4 Mirage 2000s to ensure Lebanon air policing. Link https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319066/ Hi everyone ! Here is my second campaign for the Mirage 2000. The first one can be found here : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314265/ The two campaigns share the same mind set. If you enjoyed the first one, I'm sure you'll enjoy the second. Feel free to comment, ask, report, ... R.MES

Hi, i´d be very delighted if there would by flyable version of F-16 - model A block 10. Or block 15 which is more camon to block 50. It would perfectly fit to Syria scenario in early 80th´s.

As the title says, the Mi-8MTV2 is not available for the Syrian side in the mission editor. Can you please add it in a future update? Cheers! PS: I know there are workarounds, but still, it would be nice to have it readily available...

I was making a mission on Syria as a noticed that I was unable to place the Su-27 in the slots 7-23 due to its size on Bassel Al-Assad. I was needing the slot to place more of them down, so I checked if the Su-27 is realy to big, but it isn´t. I place down some static objects and they were fine. This is the case on many other airports, maps and planes. You can see the static objects fitting inside the slots in the picture. Please fix this issue. Thanks!

** REQUIRE DCS 2.7 & The Syria map ** Version 0.9 Beta As a pilot of the Israel air force, you are tasked to sink 2 Chinese cargo ships in the Lebanese territorial waters. This mission is fully voiced (dozens of recording), has custom music and automated radio. I would consider the difficulty to be easy. To complete it, you need to know the following: 1. Take-off / Landing. 2. Follow a flight plan thru the programmed steer points. 3. Use of dumb bombs and rockets. Enjoy and please leave comments. It will help for my future missions. Thanks! Mission File https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3316729/ ** INSTALLATION Simply drop the file in your directory [User]\Saved Games\DCS\Missions Scenario May 1985, Shortly after the Lebanon war of 1982, the dust slowly settles between Lebanon and Israel. However, the middle east is more divided than ever and dozens of insurgent groups fight each other in search of power. Syria becomes a nest for insurgent groups, becoming the haven of weapon smugglers and extremists. On May 6th 1985, Mossad is getting tipped off about a huge shipment of thousands of Chinese AK-47 and RPGs heading for Syria thru the Bassel Al-Assad port. These smuggled weapons will be sold to the various insurgent groups, representing a serious threat in the area. The cargo ships smuggling the weapons, named Sheunsh an Awhan, are currently crossing the Lebanese territorial water, heading to the Bassel Al-Assad port in Syria. The Israel military demanded access to the Lebanon airspace to sink these ships, which are a threat to security of both countries. Since Lebanon has no air force and would rather let Israel take the political heat for destroying Chinese ships, it temporarily granted the Israeli air force access to their airspace. On the morning of may 7th 1985, the operation begins. Note from the developer 1. The ATC and radio are fully automated in this mission. You do not need to touch it at all. 2. For the best experience, set the AUDIO option "IN-COCKPIT" to 50%. This will provide the perfect volume to hear the radio. 3. Follow the Flight plan / Steer points precisely for the mission to run smoothly. I have few missions of this type that are quite interactive, but that are relatively easy. If I see that there is an interest, I am planning to release a short campaign. Please leave you comments.

Hi, DCS 2.7 I cant seem to select ground vehicles for Insurgents faction in the ME. I can choose only 3 infantry units. This is strange as I could previously. Not sure if this is a 2.7 issue or not? Can anyone help? Cheers Steve

Instead of capturing a full map, we built a server around a goal/task. Your task on our new Syria map is to liberate Syria or capture it fully. It's not required to capture every base on the map, but rather you have to control major (4) cities on the map, and kill enemy carriers. Whoever accomplishes this task first wins. Read more about the mission below: MISSION DESCRIPION: This version of the map is based on historic war in Syria. Syria was attacked by NATO supported Separatists. The base of Aleppo, Palmyra, and the city of Raqqa were captured by the terrorists. Most of the country is lost. The main places Syria can fight from is Bassel Al-Assad and Damascus. Syria's ally Russia lands in Bassel Al-Assad, setups S300 SAM systems and tries to recapture the lost region together with the Syrian army. THE GOAL: You do not need to take every base on this map. All you have to do is control major cities in Syria and kill enemy Navy in order to win the campaign. RED GOAL: Liberate Syria - Control Aleppo, Bassel Al-Assad, Palmyra, Damascus, city/FARP of Raqqa, and kill starting BLUE Carriers together with Tarawa BLUE GOAL: Conquer Syria - Control Aleppo, Bassel Al-Assad, Palmyra, Damascus, city/FARP of Raqqa, and kill starting RED Carriers together with Transport Dock MISSION SETUP: Capital for BLUE is Incirlik Capital for RED is Damascus Each side starts out with 7 loaded bases and 1 loaded FARP. Number of ground units and airframes is equal across teams. Both BLUE and RED team starts with 4 warehouses. Two of those warehouses are pure Army warehouses where you receive Tanks and IFVs. You may send those units to the battlefield, or to your bases. The third warehouse is the Naval warehouse where ships spawn. The fourth warehouse is for Short Range SAMs. Manage your units carefully are resources are not unlimited. Both Bassel Al-Assad and Aleppo bases are fully loaded as those bases see most action. Incirlik and Damascus bases are patrolled by Ai fighter squadrons. SOME OF OUR FEATURES: Mi-24P Sling Loading of Cargo and Troops (Internal sling loading enabled during Early Access) New Syria map with Cyprus AirBase, FARP capture system Chopper operations (Logistical operations using helicopters.

Playing a mission on Syria, I dropped 4 JDAMs from my f-16 and right when the 4th impacted I got a crash to desktop. Log zip folder included. dcs.log-20220327-012658.zip

I now gladly get to destroy the second-rate version I made a year ago out of general objects. Very nice job!

I am writing a set of missions depicting a low intensity skirmish between two fictional small African nations. It will take place in the north of Cyprus, with multiplayer slots for two aircraft, and playable from Red and Blue sides (probably as 3 separate .miz files, red, blue and both). Blue have taken delivery of a small detachment of ex-Israeli AH-64Ds. Their orbat is a mix of new/old mostly western kit. They have no offensive fixed-wing assets Red are equipped with ex-soviet kit, with the playable units being the MiG-21 and the Mi-8 The scenario back story is as follows... Bluefor: Equatorial Mirumba, thanks to revenue generated by recent coastal oil reserve exploitation has begun replacing its older military hardware with small amounts of modern western equipment. The relationship with their Southern neighbour had always been frosty, but never hostile, however the recent coup and violent tendencies of Field Marshal Kijambiya are well known and a cause of real concern for President Mutello. The Mirumban Volunteer Army has increased border patrols and all forces have been brought to readiness. The newly delivered AH-64 gunships will prove critical to maintain the safety and prosperity of the people of Equatorial Mirumba. Redfor: Having secured power in a military coup, supported in large by the population of The People’s Democratic Republic of Kzama on promises of economic reform, Field Marshal Kijambiya casts an envious eye over their small but wealthy neighbour to the North. Feeling pressure to make good his promise and wanting to maintain momentum, Kzaman People's Army troops have been harassing Equatorial Mirumba's border patrols with sporadic skirmishes and intimidation. The Kzaman Peoples Air Force's small fleet of mostly outdated ex-soviet hardware is primed and ready for further operations into Equatorial Mirumba's sovereign territory. However, aware of Mirumba's recent spending Field Marshal Kijambiya is worried that any delays will only make the job harder, and possibly not achievable at all. It is now or never. Decisive action is required if the oil wealth of their rivals is to be seized. The first couple of missions will be ready as soon as the Apache drops, six total planned. I have also posted this in the Apache subforum but thought others might be interested from the redfor side.

As part of a campaign we currently run in the 132nd Virtual Wing I've prepared this set of CombatFlite file and map to assist in better understanding of the complex theatre of Northern Israel and its borders with Lebanon and Syria. Living not too far away from that area and having a certain degree of personal familiarization with it I figured it might be nice to have a tool to provide a more realistic background of that area. The ZIP file contains a CombatFlite file with the following bits: 1) A more precisely plotted international border between Israel to Lebanon and Syria. The plot follows RL borderline more closely than the general border as given in the DCS world map. For the Israeli-Syrian border, both line "ALPHA" and line "BRAVO" are given with "UNDOF-ZONE" between them (The demilitarized zone established as part of the ceasefire between the two countries in 1974). The plot also includes a short portion of the Jordanian-Syrian border and the Syrian-Lebanese border. 2) Outposts belonging to the UN peacekeeping forces along the two borders. Those outposts are marked in the CF file and provide the location of the outposts as built in DCS (not fully following RL position but close enough , and as those outposts bare UN markings they can be quite useful for some interesting scenarios). The outposts are divided to UNIFIL ("United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon") and UNDOF ("United Nations Disengagement Observer Force") 3) Key terrain features including a few mountains on the Israeli side of the border as well as a few dormant volcanic mountains along the Israeli-Syrian border that - due to their tactical importance as vantage points - played a key role in previous conflicts. 4) Finally, a high-resolution 50mb map made out of DCS-World map overlaid with some labeling and markings aimed at assisting with the understanding of the area. A suggested method to get to know those features is to create s flight and a flightplan in CF from the enclosed file, export it into a MIZ file and just jump in and fly it/ DISCLAIMER - I do not claim this map and details are 100% true-to-life. It was done based on publicly available data and based on personal familiarization with the area. There are many other features and landmarks worth mentioning which I might add later on. Everything's in the file section, right here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3322170/ Have fun. Assaf

Hi friends, i do not know if anyone else has this issue with the Syria map. Unless one has a superhigh-end PC , the Syria map is for me almost not possible to use or design in in the mission editor, unless i run all settings in a low state. Unlike the other maps , this map requires a lot of memory and CPU and i almost regret buying it. The loading time is crazy long , let alone trying to populate the map in the editor ! All my other maps run great in medium to high settings and as a user i don't want to go lower then that of course. I wonder if anyone else have these issues too and/or have a solution. * PC: Intel genuine i7 , 16 GB DDR5, GeForce RTX 3060 12GB DDR6 Any suggestions welcome friends, Thanks in advance. RWC

Considering some of us are users of the Syria map and want max realism, head's up of this The War Zone report... Figured this community would wanna know. The full article is worth of a read.

Any idea, what causes this ? Pixelated effect on the sea

Getting this unique error message... "Error set to airfield. "No free airport." Really odd. The screenshot from mission planner:
