"Sightseeing" map for Northern Israel/ Syria / Lebanon fronts - UN outposts, international borders, vantage points

[IAF.AssafB]

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:

Have fun.
