What can't we release Cold War Germany Phase 2 without?

Small point, but the water towers become repetative, yes they are similar to the ones near us in Monchengladbach,(1983-86)  but they didn't show up every 5-miles, perhaps take out 2 of every 3.

It would be wonderful if you would update and improve the Harz region.

Thanks for asking and keep up the great work. This map has all the potential to become the most popular DCS map for numerous and various reasons.

1) Some more authentic buildings on Airports. The Bitburg QRA is now a standard hangar, etc.

2) Some more diversity in churches, water-towers and repetitive landmarks. Love to do low level navigation, but most of the smaller towns and villages look the same. 

3) Add some temporary road-bases as they used to have during exercises on the 'Autobahn'

Hey dear CWG devs and team!

first of all thank you for the amazing work you have delivered to this community!

There are some historically important points of interest in the north west.

- Wilhelmshaven with Germanys most important Naval Base for all the surface Combatants with lots of history in of itself. Tirpitz was build there, they have a huge sea lock, probably the biggest in the world during Cold War. Also historic sites like the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge.

- Oldenburg AFB, home to Fiat G91 / alpha jets and Oldenburg also had a German army tank batallion

- Jever AFB, home to tornadoes 

- Wittmundhafen AFB Home to F-104s and later F-4F Phantoms of the Richthofen wing (heatblurs f4 soundtrack gave us a nice reference). It’s part of aviation history from Manfred von Richthofen, the red baron to ‚heater‘ Heatley (famous dude! he was THE inspiration for top gun) fighting the Richthofen phantoms in his F-5 to teach them the lessons of the top gun course.

- Roadbase Ahlhorn, Ever heard of the famous operation highway 84‘? It was a big spectacle back in the day and all of nato was going at it with everything they got. Search for it on YouTube, you will find some cool footage. Amazing stuff!

Hi @MAESTR0,

Thanks for the creation of the CWG map. Even in phase 1, it's awesome.

I know that there are so many landmarks and monuments and you can't re-create every single one. Could you tell us something about the decision making process in what it's worth to create and what to leave aside?

Having been in the area lately on vacation, monuments in Kassel and around are looking awesome.

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal near Porta Westfalica is missing so: 52°14'44.7"N 8°54'23.6"E

What I'm missing a bit are the details for the reservoirs and dams in the central part of Germany. The shape of the lakes / reservoirs is nice when flying up high, but going down low through the valleys by plane of even more helicopter, the water elevation changes drastically within the lake having no dam construction.

This looks extremely strange at Edersee. Would be awesome if this could be created in later phases of the map. UGRA did a great job recreating the dams in Syria map, e.g. near Adana.

Also the historical relevance of the Talsperren needs to be taken into account, as mentioned here in this post:

Some locations of the dams:

Edertalsperre / Edersee: N 51°10'56.23"   E  9°03'39.43"

Aabachtalsperre: N 51°29'47.77"   E  8°43'11.38"

Möhnesee: N 51°29'23.09"   E  8°03'34.37"

Sorpetalsperre: N 51°21'03.1" E 7°58'05.4"

Biggetalsperre: N 51°06'39.17"   E  7°53'16.44"

Wiehltalseperre: N 50°56'11.14"   E  7°40'03.12"

Hennesee Staudamm: N 51°20'06.24"   E  8°16'25.45"

Diemeltalsperre: N 51°22'39.88"   E  8°43'39.62"

Rappbodetalsperre: N 51°44'23.45"   E 10°53'34.19"

Okertalsperre: N 51°51'01.59"   E 10°27'34.14"

Sösetalsperre: N 51°44'19.42"   E 10°18'40.99"

Odertalsperre: N 51°38'45.60"   E 10°30'23.08"

Granestausee: N 51°54'41.3" E 10°22'41.9"

Innerstestausee: N 51°54'51.68"   E 10°17'48.80"

Eckertalsperre: N 51°50'28.50"   E 10°34'47.34"

Talsperre Pöhl N 50°32'57.11"   E 12°10'48.38" (not in current detail area)

Thanks again for the great work and listening to the community. I really enjoy using the CWG map.

I suggest to focus authentic building simulation on taller buildings and landmarks like bridges, towers, churches, large historic buildings, huge factories as - beneath rivers, mountains ect. - these are the important visual orientation landmarks for VFR. Alied WW2 pilots - without GPS - used them for orientation too.
