DCS: Balkans Update 11/14/25

[OnReTech]

Dear Friends!

Thank you all for the many outstanding suggestions on potential areas to expand the map outside the currently planned area. We will certainly keep these in mind if we include such an expansion, much like the extensive expansion we did for the Sinai map into Israel and Lebanon. For now though, our focus is on the high to medium detail area inside the green zone.

We've reviewed the Wish List and added the next airfields:

Udbina (Croatia)
Tivat (Montenegro) civil
Banja Luka (BiH) civil
Rivolto Air Base (Italia) military
Tarzar Airbase (Hungary) military
Kecskemet Air Base (Hungary) military
Zeltweg Air Base (Austria) military
Rijeka Airport (Croatia) civil
Timișoara (Romania)
Camp Bondsteel (Kosovo) Helicopters

These spots are marked in yellow

Best wishes,
OnReTech team

Hello OnReTech, thank you for the updates. Please keep in mind there are very important helicopter bases in Sarajevo named "Butmir" and "Rajlovac". These are very important locations for helicopter operations. Butmir base includes the EUFOR and NATO headquarters for Bosnia. Other optional locations are Visoko and Bihać airfields. 

We are always open for assistance since our members are very familiar with these locations.

Thank you
1stBAS Team

This is amazing to hear!! As a Romanian and the many others who recommended it here, it is with great honor we get to have an airfield in DCS, especially for a map like this! For any references regarding Timisoara I'd be more than happy to help if OnReTech needs! Perhaps Caransebes AB could be taken into consideration later? haha

Thank you @OnReTech

@OnReTech please, add LYVR Vrsac airport. It is between Belgrade and Timisoara.

Thank you for the Update, OnReTech! Really looking forward to this Map!

I have a question though: Will airfields in the low-quality part of the map be included? Or will those only be in the green area?

Because if so, i go the unpopular path: Rather make the map SMALLER by reducing the size of the yellow area (which by the way are areas that were not relevant for operations deny flight, deliberate force or allied force) and therefore increase the green area to include the airfields in italy.

They cant cut just like that on green lines, there must be lower zone "outside" so you can see something when you flying on the edge... And give them a time, maps upgrading years after release, so yelow lower zone can be updated later with additional airport and detailed ground.

@OnReTech , can you include whole eastern part of Serbia inside green zone? Asking because its main theater of Balkan operations, so would be nice to "catch" it whole exYugoslavia republics.

Thank you very much.

Sounds great, thanks for all the work you're putting into this! Some questions on Croatia:

I see one airport point on Zagreb. Are you planning to add Lučko and Pleso/Franjo Tuđman, or just Franjo Tuđman?
(Lučko is civilian airfield as well as military/police helibase)

Additionally, there are also airports on Lošinj and Brač, and in Osijek and Dubrovnik. Will those be added later?

Based on this discussion, I think the current list of airfields is perfectly reasonable. We don’t need every small village strip cluttering the map, that’s pointless.

The only addition I’d recommend is Dubrovnik International "Ruđer Bošković", considering its runway length of 3370 m.

Imo anything they can add is great, and will bring the immersion up specially for users of the map that actually live there.
