Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

The Cold War is officially coming with the DCS: Cold War Germany map from Ugra-Media. Set in the 1980s and spanning 980x800 km, this superb new terrain will cover West Germany, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Low Countries. It also highlights the Fulda Gap and numerous major cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Magdeburg, Leipzig, and Hannover. Over 100 detailed airfields and heliports are included, plus extensive military bases and the militarized frontier between East and West. Developed by the team that brought you DCS: Syria and DCS: Normandy, this important map reproduces the roads and rail networks, the extensive power grids, industrial sites and cultural landmarks, offering exceptional detail for immersive missions and campaigns. Summer textures will be available at launch to facilitate potential World War III scenarios, with later updates extending coverage north, south, and west to include most of the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and beyond with multiple seasons and historical authenticity. Please read the details below!

Our DCS Spring Sale 2025 is ongoing on our e-shop and is now live on Steam until the 20th of March, 2025 at 17:00 GMT.
