We are making steady progress on DCS: Iraq. Work has focused on completing the Iraq North region with clipmap refinements, corrected road and rail alignment, and more lakes. New airfields include H-2, H-3 Main, H-3 Northwest, H-3 Southwest, Al Kut, and Mosul airfields. Existing airfields have also received attention with refined embankments, fixed taxiway collisions, added ground support objects, and a more accurate water tower at Qayyarah Airfield West. We have also cleaned up open hangars of excess detail and unified settings so that all non destructible models are correctly flagged as Indestructible.

A key focus of this Iraq North update will be the addition of the H-2, H-3 Main, H-3 Northwest, and H-3 Southwest airfields in western Iraq. These served as critical Iraqi airbases during both Gulf Wars and as the focus on numerous offensive counter air, suppression of air defenses, SCUD-Hunt, and fighter sweep missions.

To the north at Mosul, the Mosul Airfield has been added, as well as the surrounding area being improved.

The southern portion of this region will see the addition of Al Kut airfield that also saw extensive action during the Gulf Wars and the earlier Iran-Iraq War.

Several unique points of interest are also being added; the Kirkuk and Al-Shaab Stadiums, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Grand Festival Square, Mar Mattai Monastery, Baghdad and Babylon palaces, and more.This is in addition to improvements to the existing airfields such as better hangars, control towers, and terminals.

Following the release of the Iraq North update (similar to the recent Afghanistan Map update), the full-attention of the Iraq map team will focus on the southern region to include all or portions of southern Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar. Much of this work has already started, along with the addition of several Iranian airfields to allow Iran-Iraq War scenarios.

"The C-130J over the mountains in Afghanistan, delivering ammo for SOF to a remote airstrip in the area with confirmed enemy presence. What can possibly go wrong? 
If you are at @simgamingexpo in Chicago this weekend, you'll be able to try this short mission and see how it goes. You will also have an opportunity to meet & greet the head of the @airplane_simulation_company developing the Hercules for DCS by Eagle Dynamics and talk to JTAC RIFLE, who spent a lot of time flying the C-130 during his numerous deployments! Oh, and @ultrasaurustv will also be there, as well as yours truly (Baltic Dragon)."
