DCS: Persian Gulf Map - Final Release Trailer

Today we are proud to release the content-complete version of the DCS: Persian Gulf Map. Since the original release of this map, the area has been greatly expanded to make it the largest DCS World map. It also includes the most airfield of any DCS World map... 29.

In this most recent update, we have added:

• Liwa airfield and surrounded area in the UAE.
• Ras Al Khaimah airfield in the UAE.
• Jiroft airfield in Iran.
• Levan Island airfield in Iran.
• Persepolis, Rayen Citadel, and Bam World Heritage sites
• Added parking spaces to north end of Bandar Abbas airfield.

The DCS: Persian Gulf map provides an excellent playground for your DCS modules:

• Critical source of 40% of world-traded oil, making it a historic and current flash point of endless possibilities
• Sprawling cities of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Bandar Abbas
• Iranian island fortresses of Abu Musa, Sirri, and Tunb
• Varied terrain of towering mountains, desert plains, and marshlands
• Dozens of small and massive ports, power plants, refineries, and bases
• Thousands of kilometers of trafficked roads and rail lines
• Thousands of individual buildings
• Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and the Dubai Frame

Although this map is now content-complete, we will of course to continue to support the map with fixes as required. We are now excited to focus on a new, free map for DCS World.

Matts got to be happy with how far his vision has come. Well done to the whole dev team you have done yourselves proud.

Love you guys. Gonna get the map soon. I have found DCS in a rather bleak time in my life and it has been one of the few things that helped me change and get out of that situation. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Amazing video. I can’t believe how far flight simulation has come!
Love the shot of the tank stopping then firing.

Congratulations to everyone at ED, this map is a hell of an achievement!

[markusfranz]

It's amazing how much of this looks like a pre-rendered film sequence, the only difference being that the game can actually deliver these kind of visuals in-game. Stunning and great work!

Just started with DCS a couple of weeks ago. Already own the Hornet, Tomcat and the persian gulf map! Best gaming experience ever! Thanks to all the people who made this possible. Keep up the great work!

I'm simple virtual pilot I see ED trailer i watch.

Whaoo, is this the same persian gulf map I have always had or they have added new features? Never seen it this beautiful before. I am just imagining a tour of those amazing landmarks, buildings and airport on that map in a decent VR and in a helicopter. No fighting and no dropping of bombs. Just a fly around tour mission with a tour guide.
Congratulations Wags and ED. You have done a great job on this map. Cheers

The soundtrack is Two steps from hell - El Dorado . Awesome trailer! :)

Thanks for all your guys’ hard work! Love the Persian Gulf!

I've got to admit, it's a fun map you can do a lot with. there are a couple of airfields nestled right in the mountains that just scream Ace Combat.
You can also have great themed missions around the islands in the Gulf itself. I had great fun with a couple of friends pretending we were extras in some Bond film blowing up a supervillain hideout (The fact that we hilariously failed was neither here nor there!).


I'm going to have to load up with some bags of fuel and go explore the map properly at some point. I also really need to do some stuff in Nevada, another awesome map.

Caucasus and now this, truly grateful! :)

I could never imagine this sim coming this far. I remember way back when I first played lock on for the first time in 2004 thinking that was the pinnacle of flight sims.

[zackbenson]

Great job on this map. Truly a work of art.

Cold War late 80s Europe could be a nice map and addition to DCS
