In partnership with OnReTech and following the very successful launch of the DCS: Sinai map, the DCS: Balkans map will allow the recreation of NATO operations over former Yugoslavia from 1991 to 2001. You will be able to fly as either Serbian or NATO air force pilots over this varied and historically important theater. The map will feature picturesque coastlines and numerous islands of the Adriatic Sea. Additionally, dramatic mountain ranges including the Dinaric Alps, the Apennines and the Dolomites. As well as deep forest valleys, rivers, lakes, forests and fields. OnReTech is creating an impressively wide variety of landscapes across the Balkans and Italy.
The urban centers are as diverse as the natural landscape with the stunning city of Venice, the medieval town of Dubrovnik, the bustling ports of Trieste, Bari and Rijeka, and the cities of Belgrade, Zagreb and Podgorica all included. Wide highways and rail lines connect the big cities and small villages and settlements dotted across the map.
OnReTech is currently working on important military airfields located in Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo. This includes Aviano Air Base, an Italian Air Force base that is home to the US Air Force's 31st Fighter Wing that flies the F-16C. Civilian airports such as the Venice Marco Polo Airport, one of the largest in Italy are also being modelled.
The map is planned to be available in 2026. For the latest updates on its development, please visit the DCS OnReTech forum thread. We look forward to your feedback and wishes for this long-awaited map.
