Thanks for keeping us updated .. I love the way DCS is getting more and more Maps, this will be a day one purchase for me, and thanks to the recent dedicated server, I will need to purchase just a single copy rather than two :)

Maybe this has been answered, but what year (ish) is the falklands map going to be? Modern or 80's era?

Regardless of era

 

Nice!

Would be an excellent opportunity to bring Argentina and UK land forces to DCS. I know there are some ships in progress and also saw an artillery cannon but would be nice to see infantry and other "targets" for ground pounders...

 

I see there is a nice progress on the base core structure but looks like few miles still to go. Keep up the great work and never give up.

the island hasn't changed much since the 80's, I was there for 6 months in '14 and the majority of the infrastructure was built in the late 80's. Even the stuff that was built to be temporary, like the accommodation, is still there!

Mount Pleasant Base wasn't there in 1982 though...

Port Stanley City & airport is quite different now judging by Google photos.

Port San Carlos no longer has the Harrier strip.

The whole Island now has roads that weren't there in 82, and apart from Mount Pleasant, there seem to be a lot of new buildings around, and a lot fewer wrecked Argentinian Armoured cars, Puccaras & helicopters around Stanley & other places.

So was this just a mud takeoff strip? From the picture it looks like tarmac or concrete

The Harrier FOB surface was of the temporary steel matting type during the war in 1982. Can't remember the technical name.

 

Edit: Technical term is Prefabricated Surfacing Airfield Interlocking (PSAI)

A couple of thoughts on the Falklands Map. We are talking the as of now or recent rather than during 1982. The reason being there was no Mount Pleasant air base at that time.

It was decided in a community poll to Add Mount Pleasant: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=221485
