Ukraine Map

[quantum97]

    I propose adding a map of Ukraine and the neighboring regions of Belarus, Russia, Moldova, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary where map will extend approximately 150 km in from the northern and eastern borders. This is a good idea because a wide range of weaponry is currently being used in the conflict in Ukraine, and most of it is represented in DCS.

Ukrainian Air Force (Equipment already implemented in DCS is underlined)

F-16C, MiG-29A, Su-24, Su-25 FC3, Su-27 FC3, Mirage 2000, Mi-8, L-39 Yak-52, Mi-24  Su-17/22 Historical , Other Western platforms in the future.

 

Russian Air Force (Equipment already implemented in DCS is underlined)

Su-27 FC3, MiG-29, Su-30/35 [Flanker Project Mod], Su-25 FC3 ,MiG-31, MiG-35, Su-24, Su-34, A-50 AI, L-39, Ka-50, Ka-52, Mi-8, Mi-24, Mi-28, Su-17/22 Historical

 

This map could also encourage players to purchase Eastern aircrafts, and potentially FF Su-27 in the future. To further enhance the map's realism, it could have two versions: one set before 2014 and one set after, allowing players to choose whether cities are damaged or intact, as well as selecting a winter or autumn textures, because this region changes significantly depending on the time of year, and this will also finally allow to create a detailed Crimea, without remastering Caucasus.

 

   Also, to further increase the map’s potential, it could feature a relatively large number of airfields. This list only shows airfields within Ukraine it's hard to imagine the total number if we will include those from neighboring countries.

I apologize if I overlooked any DCS aircraft from either side, and please let’s keep the discussion away from politics.

I believe most users would like this map because it's been requested several times. Though many rather wants an expansion of the Caucasus. Unfortunately ED has stated many times they won't do it because of the current conflict.

I was looking for a thread about the Ukraine map, and there wasn’t much about it. Besides, do you have any source that ED said they won’t make a Ukraine map because of current conflict? As for the Caucas, it’s true there’s a lot of work to be done on it, but there’s one major problem. The Caucas map is free, and ED isn’t a charity organization. In my opinion, there’s a higher chance of seeing a paid Ukraine map, or at least a paid remaster of the Caucasus than any update to current Caucas.

Most wishes are for expansion of the Caucasus map, probably why you don't find it.

They have removed Crimea and stated it's not planned. Pretty easy to read between the lines.

True. You can wish all you want. I suppose we'll have Ukraine when the whole world map drops. 
BTW. Your text suddenly turned black. Hard to read on the dark side.

I can't point to the exact thread where they said it, but ED has definitely indicated (on more then one occasion IIRC) there is ZERO chance of getting Ukraine or Crimea with current conflict going on in that area.

They gave us a free ww2 Marianas map so a Caucasus update is not impossible.

Not impossible but there’s far more terrain as well as map objects, etc on the Caucasus map than the WWII Marianas map to deal with.

AND…I’d love to have a map like the OP suggests. Won’t live long enough to see it, though.
