[okopanja]

Essentially: the whole quarter got built in 2-3 years without carrying how this affects the old part of the city.

@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?

Hello! 
We're doing what's closest to the current state. Not a 90s reconstruction.

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".

Thank you. 
We will fix names

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?

Well you did steer the interest among local populations...

Yeah was planing to ask about that one, its not in use now since its blown up and mostly tourist attraction but surely an impressive piece of legacy. Lots of videos on Željava on youtube.

Same goes for islands naval hangars in Croatian waters.

This monstrosity is an example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gAMHDVP7RRuiKuPr6

The whole area of city got demolished (majority was main railroad station), but also historical buildings, including the depot of rare locomotives (cut into pieces). It's a landmark of corruption.

One of those projects build in illegal and non transparent way we protest against. 

Needless to say: it does not look like Belgrade anymore, it looks as if you are in United States (the picture does not show it fully).

We already put that and ćacilend on our target list.

Wow, that looks awesome! The mountain detail is super similar to the Afghanistan map.

I’m a big fan of maps that use satellite imagery, they just look so real.

This was an interesting and authentic touch (in the background are 3 buildings known as East Gate of Belgrade) there: very common at least in ex-Yugoslavia, but also some ex-Warsaw Pact countries on Balkan. null

Not sure if this particular house exist on this location, but building an incomplete house was pretty common in 90s during economic problems. Building a house with no outside isolation and then moving in to leave there and reduce the costs was a common way of building houses you had to finance yourself directly out of own salary.

If you were short on money you would simply build a single level and cover it with slant rough or just cover it with bitumen. Then as your saved money after several years you would build another level, and then permanent rough, followed by isolation and facade. Build process often lasted 15-20 years.

In fact my own house was built by my parents in exactly same way, so I had the chance to put in my blood and sweat into it. Mentioning this since there was renewed interest from multiple parties about precise location of my house, so they can bomb it.

Anyway if you ever need to check the status of some of the locations in Serbia, in particular in Belgrade feel free to reach. I do not live there anymore, but go there regularly 2-3 times a year.

Buildings look pretty cool and mostly authentic, but the ground textures, and a total lack of any other details except buildings 

They must have to work on that too, else will be another Sinai map, which will go into oblivion pretty soon.

[Vakarian]

Well, it's releasing in a year, not tomorrow. So give them time, I would assume getting textures done is hell of a lot easier than getting buildings modeled even remotely correct and then correct-ish types in proper places.

Unless you're flying under 1000 ft AGL, which most helicopters do. Then it looks terrible.
