Map date

[Lace]

Any plans for a 1950s/60s version of the map?  All these new maps are great but I feel the older post-WWII modules are being left out in the cold.

no, this is not planned at this stage of map development.

Hi.

I read this and faq topics , I understand difficulties about making 1960s' map.
But I request Sinai 1967 or 1973 again.

I don't mean "Free expansion of DCS: Sinai" , I'll pay another early-access $39.99 for Sinai 1967 (or 1973).

I'm not sure, but it seems there is a technology for switching the date in the development tools. I think we will have a discussion about this in the future.

We thought about the date for a long time, but after studying the material, we realized that it was very small data even for 1973. There are photographs and maps of those times, but they are not enough to make a complete picture of the map. I mean the airfields and military bases.

But the terrain development kit (tdk) allows you to make maps of any time and this is very good.

I, too, would appreciate it very much if in a future Sinai map variant the road network, cities, ports, airports etc. of the time period 1967-1973 were represented.  This would allow us to simulate major conflicts such as the 6 Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Jom Kippur/October War. A simulation of the Suez conflict of 1956 would also be possible.

we think about it, everything will depend on open information and references on the Internet

An extremely good source of the air bases in the 6-day war is the book: THE JUNE 1967 SIX DAY WAR by Shlomo Aloni IsraDecal Publication 2008, website: www.isradecal.com

Here practically all Egyptian airfields on the Sinai Peninsula (El Arish, Jabel Libni, Bir Gafgafa etc.) as well as those on the Egyptian mainland (from Mansura via Inchas, Cairo West to Luxor and Ras Banas etc.) are are documented (their history) and shown with floor plans and often also aerial photographs from 1967. With this publication, working out the air bases would be an easy game. Of course, there are still the cities, roads and waterways that you would have to take from other sources.

Thank you. I found good historical maps here:

there is a lot of information here for many years, but I still can not find anything regarding Israel, advise ...

Here are some links to historical maps of Israel.

Finding satellite images or maps of Israeli Air Force Bases from the period 1967-1973 requires more effort. Here pictures of air bases of recent date. You may also find pictures from the period 1967-73 on this website.

Yes, if you would be able to make Cold War timeframe variant of the map, from the time of military conflicts in the region, it would be fantastic!

Thanks for your work
