Wouldn't it be up to the mission designer to put SAMS down where they want - not the map maker? 

I think @Kvek meant just the "SAM sites" - ground roads, empty spaces, revetments in their typical config for the type.

Aah - sorry. I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

Last time I checked map details end right at the Gaza Strip.

So Hatzor is already in, is it? 

I guess I am too focused on northern Syria in my missions ...

Can't check right now but no, it's not yet there, not the airbase.

I checked, not only the base but nothing else is there - apart from some low effort autogen

Hi Fighters

We continue to introduce you to the upcoming map update, work on which is in full swing. First of all, we want to thank you for your feedback: Thank you for this! We are glad that you liked the idea and the new functionality of the map.

The Ugra-Media team is making every effort to make the map even more interesting and continues to take into account the opinions and requests of DCS users. Recently, we expanded the functionality of the map, you asked to add new locations and we did it. Now you have even more opportunities for new flights and missions. Let's take a look at one of the new features:

Hatzor

is an Israeli military base built in 1942 for the British Royal Air Force (hello Normandy 2.0). The Combined Operations Center for the US military and Israel is located here.
It is interesting that the base has simulators for training F-15 and F-16 pilots and the 420th Squadron or "Fighter Aircraft Simulator Squadron" is stationed here - these guys understand us better than anyone.

something new

@MAESTR0 Could we have a list with all destructible places of interest on the map with this fantastic damage model?

Syria is the best map ¡¡¡¡

[ThorBrasil]

[Gierasimov]

[MAXsenna]

@MAESTR0 Thank you so much for the news, the continued great work that Team is doing and the exciting satisfactions that you give us.

The biggest improvement (which might not be possible), would be having some type of algorithm fix rivers and streams so that they can only flow downhill... sometimes the mesh and the rivers don't line up (so the rivers flow uphill). It is really noticeable sometimes when flying a helicopter.

If the rivers could also be modified to be a bit more variable in width it would also help realism (they look canalised sometimes - I think the Kuban map did this a bit better).

Anyway, lovely to see continued work on this map! It is something I didn't expect.
