Description
Faction Map based on July 2016 battle positions in Syria - intended for use by Mission Editors, either to aid in crafting semi-realistic missions or for inspiration. Note that many of the borders are around defensible terrain, or of areas with strategic value. These borders have been carefully correlated through use of overlays, in game geographic and man made features, and coordinates to ensure a high degree of accuracy. Most borders were manually adjusted to best fit with the representation in DCS (e.g. matching border walls, streams, or highways used as logical borders when appropriate).
The borders are by default only visible in the mission editor, but can also be shown to coalition by moving the relevant areas to the respective coalition side under the 'draw' section of the mission editor.
