DCS: STRAIT OF HORMUZ MAP COMING IN WINTER 2014
DUXFORD, UK, September 11th, 2014 – DCS: Strait of Hormuz map coming in winter 2014.
The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics are pleased to announce that DCS: Strait of Hormuz map will be coming to DCS World in the winter of 2014. This will be the first, new combat theatre maps for DCS World 2!
The DCS: Strait of Hormuz map is the strategic choke point between the oil-rich Persian Gulf and the rest of the world. Flanked by Iran to the North and western-supported UAE and Oman to the south, this has been one of the world’s most potentially dangerous flash points for decades. The region also includes the vast Arabian Sea that is well-suited to combat aircraft carrier operations. Be it from land bases in Iran, UAE and Oman, or from the deck of an aircraft carrier, the DCS: Strait of Hormuz map will offer a wide array combat mission scenarios to prove your metal.
Key Features of the DCS: Strait of Hormuz Map:
• 390 x 390 km highly detailed map area that centers on the Strait of Hormuz.
• As part of DCS World 2, it will support highly detailed terrain, textures, and buildings.
• Numerous, accurately rendered airbases in Iran, the UAE and Oman.
• Detailed cities such as Dubai and Bandar Abbas with unique buildings.
• “Strong Hold” islands such as Abu Musa and Greater Tunb.
• Iran, the UAE and Oman will be added to the list of DCS World nations.
DCS: Strait of Hormuz map will be released as a separate module that will be available for sale from the DCS e-shop in the winter of 2014.
Please note that the included images are very much work in progress and are from our land viewer tool and not from within DCS World 2.

My thoughts excactly....

DCS sure has a promising future... both as a modern and vintage A/C sim.

Good. Lord.

Hallelujah brother!

That bodes well for the Normandy map. Fingers crossed other developers jump on the bandwagon to exponentially grow DCS: WWII with a full planeset and more maps/theatres.

That looks amazing, and an area that I think will feel more immersive for me as its more of a real world hotspot.

I've just never felt that enthused with the current map, probably because I am not familiar enough with the area. Straits of Hormuz will bring back a lot of memories of playing Microprose F-19 in the early 90s, graphics seem to have come on a touch since then though, can't wait!

Great news - nice flashpoint map for the current planes + carrier ops later.

Not quite sure what Wags means when he says Winter 2014 though. A tiny part of me hopes that that actually means 2014 while most of me thinks it means the winter of 2014 which runs from Dec 21 - Mar 19 and that I should probably start thinking March seeing as DCSW 2.0 hasn't been released yet. I think we'll probably see DCSW 2.0 before the year is out. I'd be happy with that.
