DCS: Cold War Germany FAQ

[ggrewe]

From the latest newsletter, I see there will be an Assets pack with Phase 3.

I'm assuming this will be part of the full purchase price map & not a separate purchase like the WWII Assets pack?

Can we also get a provisional list of assets, or is it too soon?

I've seen T-34/85 & the Russian LCAC's, hopefully they are part of the pack?

Thanks

No Wittmund ETNT?

Damn it... my virtual squadron is screwed... 

Also no Jever ETNJ, no Oldenburg ETNO...

I wonder, too!

 

ETNO as former AMF-Squadron (Allied Mobile Forces) and ETNT with the wellknown Squadron "Richthofen".

Strange to see Oranienburg AB just north of Berlin missing. It was one of the top three nuclear targets.

10. Will there be RSBN beacons on the maps?
- Yes, East German airbases are already equipped with RSBN beacons.

RSBNs aren't working in the MiG-21. Another user implied that this is because the 21 isn't part of the DCS core modules. The 21 can use RSBN in all other maps though AFAIK. Are there plans to correct this? Making Cold War scenarios without the 21 would be unrealistic. Without nav aids IMC and night would be quite problematic. Also, a way to input ARK (NDB) using the Russian system of Sector, Number, Channel would be much appreciated.

[Tarres]

The 21 uses rsbn that only works with the 21, same with the ndb. IRL only 9 presets with outer/inner selection via sector/number are available. Something like Yak-52’s ark-15 and the future 29 FF. 

The file affected for the 21 is in the 21 directory and doesn’t use the standard beacons.lua that is coded as a definition in every map.

This looks great! I would have loved the inclusion of NATO AFB Geilenkirchen (E-3A base), EHBK and Leeuwarden (EHLW).

Excelent map, it's gona be my favorite

It there a easy way to find the locations of the 40 sam sites ?

[RubberDogSh1tOutOfHKG]

Really love the map!

Please add Værløse Airbase on Sealand, it is well within the Phase 2 and 3 area. And had F16 Shelters!

how much memory does it take on loaded servers (max settings)? like shadowreapers or contention.... 64 GB is not enough for me

Thank you map

This map is already a contender for "Best Map of All Time", IMHO.  It's just fantastic!  There are so many air bases, if the one you want isn't modeled, use a another base as a stand-in.  I mean, they have to release it at some point and 120 bases is really a lot.  I think the Fulda Gap focus probably provides for the highest number of air+ground scenarios.

Oh one minor thing, Ctl+F12 isn't taking me to my train.  I'm sure it was a minor consideration and rightfully so, just throwing it out there as an FYI.

just check you are pressing Left Ctrl and F12 and not Right Ctrl and F12

You can also press F10 map view and click on any train you want to follow then Left Ctrl and F12
