use wish list for desired features DCS: Balkans Updates

[OnReTech]

Dear pilots and friends!

The OnReTech team has begun work on the "Balkans" module.

We are delighted to see your positive comments and suggestions.
We are currently finalizing the list of airfields, and we will certainly take your suggestions into account.
In accordance with our agreement with Eagle Dynamics, we will not be focusing on airbases and airfields on the western coast of Italy for now.
We will also not expand the zone to meet the 2026 release deadline.

Best wishes,
OnReTech team

Very very cool...but can you please tell us, what we can see on these pictures? Are these mountains only the Alps or some mountains on Balkans too?

 

[IndyNavy]

Very excited! 

[Furiz]

Excellent news!  Hurry hurry I want EA asap :))

WoW, best looking textures so far in any DCS map, and also the terrain meshes are looking very detailed.

Thank you for the heads-up, those images do look great so far!

A few suggestions for later, regarding expansions and airbases:

• Expansion of the high/medium detailed area to the north-west (to include Piacenza San Damiano / Milano and Landsberg am Lech / Munich)
• Expansion of the high/medium detailed area to the south-east (to include all of Albania, Macedonia and a part of Northern Greece, similar to the Balkans map in Falcon 4.38)
• Expansion of the high/medium detailed area to the west (to include more of the Italian land mass, especially between Bologna and Naples.)
• Inclusion of air base Piacenza San Damiano (which saw frequent use during the Balkans air war)
• Inclusion of air base Landsberg am Lech (som 30 km west of Munich) which saw a lot of transport flights to and from Skopje (Macedonia) using German C-160s.
• Now, if you really want to make some people happy, you could expand the entire western side all the way out to Colmar / Freiburg im Breisgau (north-west corner) and Decimomannu (south-west corner). This would allow for connecting the Germany map to the north, including the International Flight Training School (as suggested by others), and might make some Swiss F-18 pilots quite happy along the way

Good luck, and looking forward to your updates!

I would suggest few corrections of the airport names in Serbia.

"Pukovnik" - it is called "Pukovnik-pilot Milenko Pavlovic" since 2019, but before and during the 1980s and 1990s it was called "Batajnica", so it would be more appropriate to use that name for this Balkans map.

"Belgrad" should be "Beograd".

"Morava" is the name for the civilian terminal of the airport, but the military part of the airport is called "Ladjevci". This is actually the first time I see it is also called "Morava", I know it whole my life as "Ladjevci".

[Saguanay]

Looks great.   Waiting patiently. 

 

[yufighter]

In the territory of the former Yugoslavia, there are no important military airports, Udbina and Mahovljani - Banja Luka. Of the civilian ones, Tivat, Maribor, Vršac, Osijek and Ohrid should definitely be added.

@OnReTech
I fail to see this question answered in your FAQ, and i think it should be included.

What period is this map based on?

They did this when they turned Lađevci for civilian use. Then it got civilian name "Morava" after the river. 

Is there anyobody in this team who is a native of Yugoslavia?

By the cars in this screenshot I would say 90s'; however as someone who visited Skopje this year I could as well say its 2025. 

[Furiz]

Belgrade images look like 2020+, but I'm not from there so I can't say for sure, if they post Split or Zagreb I can be more precise.

[pricklyHH72]

Very much looking forward to this one, shades of the old Falcon 4.0 Allied Force game...but with high-fidelity graphics.

Yes, that is correct, I would prefer not to have these additions, I hate them even in real life. 

Still there are plenty of natural and historical landmarks that would be interesting. E.g. Bridge on Drina or famous Mostar bridge. Also Plitvice would be really something they must implement. Boka Kotorska, Kotor, Dubrovnik. Not to forget all monasteries etc.
