DCS: Balkans Update 11/14/25
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.

Marianas WWII Development Progress
Since the release of the free DCS: Mariana Islands World War II map, the map team has been diligently working to enhance and improve it, ensuring that it accurately reflects this island chain in the summer of 1944. Runway-taxiway logic has been reworked, trees along takeoff and landing paths have been removed, runway surfaces have been improved, and parking locations adjusted. For the rest of the map, we manually corrected vector data, rebuilt road networks, and refined the placement of residential buildings, farmland, and much more. We have also addressed several points raised by our customers, including impassable bushes and other quality-of-life improvements.
One of the most significant changes in a future update concerns an event that occurred many years after World War II ended. In the early morning hours of May 15, 1981, a major volcanic eruption took place on Pagan island. The lava flow moved southwest from Mount Pagan, partially covering the Pagan airstrip and necessitating the complete evacuation of the island's then 54 residents.
Since the vector data for our maps is based on modern information, events like this can be overlooked when creating on a historical map. However, some observant customers quickly pointed out this event and its impact on the Pagan airstrip. Armed with this knowledge, we conducted an in-depth investigation using imagery from the 1940s and discovered that the Allies had extensively photographed the island. We located these high-quality surveillance images of the airfield and its surroundings, allowing us to accurately recreate the airfield as it appeared nearly 40 years before the volcanic event.

DCS: Balkans Update 13/12/25
We would like to share a quick update on our progress with the DCS: Balkans map.
We have finalized the list of helicopter bases that will be included in the initial release:
- Sarajevo / Rajlovac
- Sarajevo / Butmir
- Camp Bondsteel
- Zagreb / Lučko
Additionally, we are currently conducting tests for underground facilities. The results so far are very optimistic! We are working hard to polish them and will share screenshots as soon as they reach an acceptable level of quality.
In the meantime, please enjoy some new screenshots of current progress.

DCS: Afghanistan Dev Report
We continue to incorporate community feedback into the DCS: Southwest Afghanistan and DCS: East Afghanistan regions of our Afghanistan map. Your reports have enabled improvements to objects, performance, terrain, and scenery. These updates will be included in future releases.
Development of DCS: North Afghanistan is progressing. We are constructing airfields, creating road networks, and developing cities, towns, villages, and waterways to ensure the same level of detail and quality as in the other regions.
Also for DCS: North Afghanistan, we have advanced work on Mary-1 and Mary-2, two Soviet-era airfields in Turkmenistan. These airfields will provide new mission-building options for both single-player and multiplayer. Mary-1 previously hosted Soviet bombers and fighters, while Mary-2 supported Afghan War operations, accommodating MiG-29 and Su-25 aircraft. The screenshots show our focus on accuracy, including the concrete slab layout and surface features. It also served as the home of the Soviet Union’s Center for Combat Employment 1521.
Based on the feedback we have already received, we continue to look at enhancing Afghan points of interest and of historic importance. For example: We are looking to improve West Kandahar, which was the site of one of the most significant NATO operations of the war, known as Operation Medusa. We continue to encourage you to share your personal or academic knowledge of areas you think are valuable for the creation of quality single and multiplayer missions.

DCS: Iraq Development Report Progress continues on DCS: Iraq!
DCS: Iraq North Map
Work continues on the DCS: Iraq North Map as part of an upcoming update, with a strong focus on improving realism, landmark detail, and airfield authenticity.
Many airfields have received significant upgrades, including Al-Kut, Al-Taji, Al-Asad, Al-Sahra, Al-Salam, Al-Taquddum, Qayyarah, Kirkuk, Sulaimaniyah, Balad, Mosul, H2, H3, and K-1. These updates incorporate layout refinements, improved surroundings, and better integration with surrounding terrain and locations.
Several new dams and other distinctive terrain features and recognizable geography will be added. These include Alwand, Fallujah, Haditha, Hemrin, the Diyala Weir, Kut Barrage, and Ramadi Barrage. Many of these locations were key strategic points during operations in Iraq. For example, in 2003, the Battle of Haditha Dam took place with the goal of capturing and protecting the dam from destruction by Iraqi forces. It was key to Baghdad’s power network, and its destruction could have caused major flooding along the Tigris River Valley.
To further enhance regional identity, several new, distinctive objects have been introduced, including the Erbil Martyrs Monument, the Qayyarah Control Tower, the Al-Rahman Mosque, the Al-Asad Fire Station, and additional bespoke structures. Alongside these additions, we continue to apply broad improvements to scenes and textures across Northern Iraq to raise overall visual consistency and detail.
DCS: Iraq South Map
Development has now shifted significantly toward the DCS: Iraq South Map, which is currently the focus area of DCS: Iraq map development.
Work is progressing across all core elements, including airfields, cities, road networks, and terrain building. This phase represents the foundation of the southern region, with large-scale layout, infrastructure placement, and environmental work underway to support future detailing and refinement.
We look forward to sharing more as DCS: Iraq South Map continues to take shape and DCS: Iraq North Map moves closer to its next update.

Mariana Islands Map Update
We’re continuing to improve the Mariana Islands map with enhanced textures, more accurate landmarks, airfield usability, and smoother performance. This update increases immersion across the map, and it brings technical fixes for more stable low-level, high-speed flights.
We’re adding new 3D objects across Saipan and Guam, including Mount Carmel Cathedral, the Saipan Japanese Lighthouse, and the Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture. These will bring more character and realism to both urban and coastal areas. At Andersen Air Force Base, the Mobility Command Operations Terminal, and Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting buildings will be fully modeled for greater realism. Many structures will feature destroyed-state models to provide more convincing battle damage. We’re also improving building collision models to solve stuttering when flying near them.
We’re also added new natural visual reference landmarks such as Bird Island and Fouha Rock along the coastline. The cliffs on Pagan, Guam, and Saipan will have improved geometry and detail to enhance shoreline realism.
Our terrain team is improving all of the map’s airfields. The terrain mesh ‘steps’ at Andersen AFB will be gone, allowing smoother taxi operations. Airfield signage at Saipan International will be more accurate, and we’re fixing and expanding PAPI and VASI lighting at more airfields. Taxiways and ground markings will also be improved for better visibility during approach, landing, and taxiing.
The environment will have better seabed textures, improved cliff faces, more detailed roads, and smoother shoreline transitions. These changes will make the map more consistent from the air and add realism for low-level flying while maintaining improved performance.
All these updates will contribute to improving the Mariana Islands experience, bringing more realism, smoother performance, and better mission immersion. Coming soon to DCS in a future update!
