Iranian Air Bases

[Don Rudi]

This map has great potential to recreate the famous Air battles, deep strikes and naval strikes of the Iran-Iraq war.

TFB.4 Dezful

TFB.5 Omidihyeh

TFB.6 Busher 

Would all be in the detailed areas of the map(s). Esfahan as an important base is only in the low res area, maybe a simplified version might be possible?  But even just TFBs 4, 5 and 6 would add a whole new dimension for the map and provide a natural playground for the F-4, F-5 and F-14.

Please consider adding these. Thanks.

For real scenarios we need this bases

[Alireza.kh]

most of Iran airbases are in the that red zone. not just Dezful, Omidiye, Esfahan, Bushehr but also Tehran, Kermanshah, Hamedan, and a little bit to the north Tabriz.

Iraq Iraq War in case of scale and duration is not comparable with those short wars like desert storm or Iraqi Freedom or fighting with ISIS that had Toyota. 

it lasted for 8 years (near 3000 days) and was a full scale classic war between Iran and Iraq Armies in the air, land and sea. everything happened in that war.

i can not describe all of those things in a few sentences but i just tell you one thing, in case of air wars near 400 fighter jets of both countries shot down and near half this number damaged.

this war was completely ignored in the Iraq map Description and FAQ topic which is very disappointing. i hoped that creators and the company had better knowledge about it.

i wish ED expand the map to the east and add Iran and its airfields.

I agree there needs to be at least one Iranian airbase in one of the detailed areas! Of course that's not enough to simulate in-depth scenarios from the Iran-Iraq war, but at least it gives you SOME possibilities to simulate Iranian defence scenarios or something like that. 

If performance is an issue, by all means leave out Doha International for example. 

[Stratos]

At the bare minimum we need the bases on the detailed areas!!

I don't buy the performance argument. Syria has 51 airfields iirc, so many more than what is planned for this map. And as you see, just leave out the shiny eye candy International airports - they serve less purpose than these important military bases, imho.

Certain conflicts are de-focused on for.......ЯeasoИs....See the empty peninsula in the caucuses for example.

Here make these!

+1, I'd also love to see some Iranian bases on the map. So much historical potential for mission makers...

On ED's Iraq terrain product page for the Iraq terrain, it is stated:
 

Features Coming During Early Access

<..>

• Future Regional Expansions: Planned extensions into neighbouring regions, further broadening the operational theatre.

A combination with the existing Persian Gulf terrain would make a lot of sense and be absolutely fantastic!

I don't know why you want to have a constant conflict with the community. Every release, every promise. It ends the same. Discontent and frustration with ED. Don't be stubborn. Give the community some love. It won't cost them much, and it will be wonderful for us to be able to simulate the IRAN-IRAQ conflict. 

[A. Matar]

Having some Iranian airports will be a blast to this Map, tons of possibilities for missions.

Please ED add some Iranian airports

[RustBelt]

Finally making the globe would be a blast, adding some Iranian airbases would be a bare minimum.

[Mr_sukebe]

Just flown over Iran on the Iraq map.

The F10 "map" shows the location of a whole bunch of Iranian airfields.  Even has Tehran on it.  Unfortunately, it's all flat textures.

Worst case scenario, we could add some buildings ourselves.

[YoYo]

+1, fully agree, some iranian airfileds could be nice idea and big future potential.

[JalilDoran]

Been playing since 2014 but only just made an account here to add my voice to requests for Iranian bases.

Look here at the ORBAT for the IRIAF (scramble.nl).  Most of the classic late Cold War modules in DCS are still being operated by the IRIAF/IRIAA including the MiG-29A, F-14A, MiG-21, F-1, F-4E, F-5, Huey (Twin Huey), forthcoming AH-1 mod, CH-47 (H).

We could have in the Iraq map the MiG-29A base at Dezful, the Tomcat base at Isfahan and the historical Tomcat base at Bushehr.  You've also got the whole Turkish border which could be used to recreate one of the most famous raids in history, on H-3.At the moment, in the Persian Gulf map, the only really interesting Iranian base is Bandar Abbas for the F-4.  That was a huge missed opportunity and it would be good were that not to happen again.

[Mr_sukebe]

My guess is that ED have no intention of adding a lot of scenery in Iran. 
For one thing, it’s not part of the stated deliverables and secondly that it “might” result in performance issues.

If it’s not a performance issue, then I’d certainly be happy to pay more to have the detailed coverage extended to include Iran.  Eg  we have been sold Iraq North and Iraq south as options. 
Maybe ED would consider a DLC to add Iran north?

I agree I do not expect anything not in the "deliverables" and I will definitely not be buying Early Access on the assumption of getting more.  Although I don't know why there would be performance issues when there are already mammoth maps like Kola.  

The whole detail area/low detail area paradigm is rather weird when you think about it.  Areas that are not intended to be used for anything but make the maps look bigger than they are.  It would be nice if the community could add better satellite textures or new airbases to the "low detail areas" and bring them up to a BMS level of usability.  Otherwise what are they doing there?

[Nicodcs69]

Thanks a lot Rudi for opening this topic!

I agree more than 100% with your request.

I can't even imagine an Irak map without any Iranian city or airbase.

Please ED reconsider your plans concerning this map and add some facilities, I'm actually working on many iran/Irak mission and can't go further until you enhance this beautiful map!

Best Regards

I am eagerly awaiting the design of the Iranian airbases and Army aviation in a new DLC. Many missions have been completed (from the 8-year Iran-Iraq war to the Iran-Israel battle) and many MODs have been designed so far. What is very interesting is that for the first time two airfields dedicated to helicopters can be designed ( Army aviation base in masjed soleyman & kermanshah cities )

This doesn’t make sense. We have a number of high detail Iran terrain and airfields on PG map.

The clue is in the name, DCS, they simulate combat, so don't expect to not have conflict with the community.  I'm starting to think the mods are actually bots as the responses are so robotic.  BN isn't a real human IMHO, and no I'm not joking.

[ColonelEbi]

Big Like . I hope ED respects the opinions of its customers. I personally have bought over $1000 from ED. And that is the least I expect from them.

[Harlikwin]

Yeah would love to see iranian airbases. I mean we basically have the IRAF in DCS at this point, and well at least sorta Iraqi AF as well. So like a map for that conflict would be great.
