Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

The Cold War is officially coming with the DCS: Cold War Germany map from Ugra-Media. Set in the 1980s and spanning 980x800 km, this superb new terrain covers West Germany, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Low Countries. It also highlights the Fulda Gap and numerous major cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Magdeburg, Leipzig, and Hannover. Over 100 detailed airfields and heliports are included, plus extensive military bases and the militarized frontier between East and West. Developed by the team that brought you DCS: Syria and DCS: Normandy, this important map reproduces the roads and rail networks, the extensive power grids, industrial sites, and cultural landmarks offering exceptional detail for immersive missions and campaigns. Summer textures will be available at launch to facilitate potential War scenarios, with later updates extending coverage north, south, and west to include most of the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and beyond with multiple seasons and historical authenticity. Please read the details below.

Our DCS Spring Sale 2025 is ongoing on our e-shop and is now live on Steam until the 20th of March, 2025 at 17:00 GMT. If you’ve been eyeing a new aircraft, helicopter, or terrain, this is your chance to expand your DCS collection at a discounted price. Head over to Steam or our E-Shop and grab your favourite modules before the sale ends. We truly hope you will enjoy these special springtime offers!

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely, 

Eagle Dynamics

Announcement

The DCS: Cold War Germany map, long requested by our customers, recreates central Europe at the height of the Cold War in the 1980s. This map of West Germany, East Germany, parts of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Low Countries centres on the strategically important Fulda Gap and also includes areas of the Baltic Sea for naval operations. The map measures 980x800 km and accurately reproduces the cities of Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Magdeburg, Leipzig, Hannover, Lübeck and others.

Hero2.png

The map features over 100 highly detailed military airfields and heliports such as Ramstein, Spangdahlem, Hahn, Bitburg, Sembach and large civil airfields like Tegel, Schönefeld, Tempelhof, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Hannover. Numerous army bases, listening posts, naval bases, training grounds, weapon storage facilities, and the militarized frontier between East and West Germany.

Ugra-Media has invested in detail, providing users a rich environment for endless complex missions and campaigns with accurate reproduction of the road and rail network, along with the power plants and electricity grid, industrial sites, mines, tunnels, stadiums, rail yards and stations, as well as cultural landmarks.

The initial release of the map will focus on the central portion of East and West Germany with summer textures that will allow the creation of unlimited "what if" scenarios in Europe. Later updates will add additional detail, airfields, and other features to the north and south, as well as west to include parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark with Spring, Autumn, and Winter textures. Check out the development screenshots and stay tuned for more information!

I was at the US Air Base Spangdahlem Open House in 2011.
And soon I'll be able to fly the F-16 and A-10 from the Air Base myself. How cool is that? 😀

Thanks in advance to everyone who's working so hard on this and making our dreams come true. :pilotfly:

Very exciting news confirming the details & that its been made by Ugra-Media.

Just hope there is also a Phase 4 : WWII version - even if much further down the line.

I'm sure many would be prepared to pay extra for that?

Screenshots look amazing, and dare I say it, almost ready for release...?

So glad they included some Baltic.  So glad they made it temporally relevant.  Wen Tornado?

New favorite map! 

Ok, I can't hop over to Prague for a beer, but I guess I'll settle for brats and beer at Zum Gilden Stern in Nuremberg.  That will keep me fueled up for a while!

Almost every plane we have in DCS, other than the WW2 props, is a Cold War era plane.  People seem to forget that the Cold War didn't end in 1975, it ended in 1991, and included the entire first decade of the computer revolution.  There were plenty of planes with MFDs, HUDs, FLIRs, and other technology that is still relevant today.  The F-15C, F-16C, and F-18C are all Cold War planes, and so is the F-15E.  It's always fun to see the Viggen brought up in this context as well, since the AJS-37 that we have in the game didn't enter service until after the Cold War (1993 or so).

Although I do think it would be great if ED could add an option to the Mission Editor to restrict pilot helmet options, so missions could enforce whether HMD and/or NVGs are available.  Other than weapons, that's probably the single biggest and most noticeable anachronism for a Cold War setting for the F-16 and F-18.

Great details on the map! I think this map will be perfect for Combined Arms.

I'm really worrying about my SSD space now.

A w e s o m e ! 😍

 

The size of this map (phase 3) exceeds my expectations. Thank you so much for (eventually) adding Dutch and Belgian airbases! (Can't wait to fly DCS from the bases I've served on as an F-16 mechanic, for over a decade).

"Cold War era" obviously, but it must be said: excellent choice!

And "Ugra", so it's going to be good 👍
