While we have not read any official DCS responses regarding your suggestion, it is possible the Fulda Gap would be represented when ED has its global map available.

Well, there are definitely people at ED that would also love a Fulda Gap map, like Wags:

The issue with any Northern European map will be the sheer density of objects; not only are the population centres more tightly packed but the amount of foliage is several orders of magnitude more dense with not only many woods but many many many miles of hedge lines; why do you think many of our existing maps are in desert areas? It’s because computationally they are much less resource hungry to develop and run.

Because of this the European maps we do have cover much less area than their desert counterparts.

A whole Germany map is I suspect beyond the engine to support currently, though it could well be broken up into several useful areas:

1. Western Frontier WW2 including Dutch and Belgian borders 

2. Eastern Frontier WW2 including Berlin, the Seelow Heights and Polish border

3. Fulda Gap Cold War

Agreed.

whilst I’d love to have a Germany map, it’s probably worth waiting until the planned new tech is in place and working, such that it’s viable to stress test it’s new limits.

This said, i feel just sad, that i can not use the actual WW2 maps for modern scenarios (reds hav overrun europe - defending from England....something like that). 

A center Europe map would be great. I thought about this las time when i played GHPC. Cold war would be a bang with the inner-german border. But please bring Lagerlechfeld as well, since i did my job there

Lechfeld is completely overrated.

Important is Northern Germany.

 

Anyway, I would be glad to get ANY German map in ANY time frame.

Fassberg = Northern Germany?! From my point of view anything south of the river Eider is Bavaria and dark land ...   

But motorcycle race is accepted. Even if I preferred Oschersleben during my active racing times.

By the way: Over that location a heavy air battle took place in WWII.

[Eisprinzessin]

All accepted. And take note that everything north of Danube is Prussia!

Both are different, southern region with so called Fulda Gap consist of mountain corridors and passes and big elevation amplitudes, northern region is basically flat North German Plain.

i was stationed in Wildflecken. This was the furthest east permanent unit in germany. fulda gap was about 15 km from fulda gap. we went on alerts to the border all the time. south of the gap. there is a little protuberance of land between states hessen and thuringia. the latter being in the east. it sticks out into the west. lost of eastern units were there.

My favorit track, too. Did a two hour endurance race there once (two riders, one bike). One of the best experiences in my life.

On Topic: Every new Map is welcomed! Though, I expect ED to offer a free SSD with every three Maps bought!

[MAXsenna]

Hopefully ORBX will announce this after the Kola release, which would be the next natural next step. 

Cheers!

I have posted this before but we need an early 1950s map for the f-86 and mig-15

A 1960s map for the f-100 and f-86

A 1970s map for the f-4 and MiG-21

Yes, Cold War Germany map is arguably the most anticipated one together with Vietnam. But personally i think just one e.g. ~1970s would be ok. Changes in a decade were not that big, especially from flight simulator perspective. I would guess somewhere around 1960s all main NATO bases in Germany were already developed and functional, Berlin wall built. Civilian infrastructure developed obviously. Maybe two versions 1950s and 1980s at most.

Germany 2023 vs. 1970s are massively different and it would be huge turn off for all this Cold War scenarios, but 1960s vs. 1980s would be ok.

I would like one for the f-86 and MiG-15.

[One Eyed Ross]

Ah, the Fulda Gap.  Home for five years of my life.  Would love to see that map, and a good F-105D to fly in it.  Heck, even the old A-10 would be appropriate for late 70s early 80s.  

Alsfeld, the Vogelsberg, Fulda, Bad Hersfeld, Lauterbach.  Home, sweet home.

That would be great. But for F-86, MiG-15, A-1 etc. 1950 Korea map would be perfect. And some 1970s/80s Fulda Gap divided Germany for later Cold War.

The Fulda Gap was the focus of the US's attention for over 40 years.  I figure a multi era Korea map would be awesome too

With all them great WW2 stuff added now i would like to kick ass within the Third Reich.

Maybe some clever "wizz-kid" can adapt the IL2 Great Battles "Rheinland" map in a mod?

[razo+r]

Nope, thats not gonna happen. Probably even against the EULA of the IL2 devs.

If it was possible to make user maps, it would probably already have been done...

Needs more Lithuania and Belarus

I can agree with that. More like the cut in my original proposal. But then stretching to UK... It is really not that much land. And I think that too much time in the maps is spent on cities that scares them away from maps like this. Just add rather generic repeating buildings and industrial areas.

It used to work 20 years ago but not anymore. Customer expectations are high but also there are available tools to make it faster and better.

[spacemishka]

Is Kaliningrad not part of the map?

[TomCruise]

What about a Germany Map from the 1980. Fulda Gap and other scenarios.
 

With the new Mig-23 from Razbam and the Bo-105 i think it‘s time for that map.

Mig-21, Mirage F1, Hind, Huey…
