Map
Explore the map or select an airfield. Markers show runway, radio and navigation data. Present-day OpenStreetMap geography; no exact simulator terrain boundary is shown. Airfield markers follow the simulator data, including on historical maps; the basemap does not depict their historical surroundings.

Airfields
Every airfield with a runway in Iraq's data from the game: 20 airfields. Names link to this encyclopedia's entry where there is one.

Source: dcs-world-schema reference data: Iraq airbases, beacons and navaids, dcs-world-schema, open-source data extracted by running DCS World 2.9.30.28536 (extracted 2026-10-04), at commit c3091e6. Runway headings are magnetic, as the game computes them; lengths and elevations are converted from metres. The game gives TACAN and DME channels no X or Y band. Where a beacon’s listed frequency is the reply or paired VHF frequency of one band (ICAO Annex 10 channel plan), that band is shown. * marks an assumed X: the game lists no frequency that settles it, and every ground TACAN whose frequency does settle it is X. A dash means the game gives none.
Airfield coverage
No airfield in this encyclopedia has been checked against this map yet.
Each airfield's page cites the sources for its entry. Airfields not listed have not been checked against this map.
Coverage
The map is in early access. It covers the entire country, its deserts, marshlands, mountains and cities, with what its makers call accurate recreations of all significant airfields and military installations, and it is planned to grow into neighbouring regions. [1] The Northern Iraq region, sold on its own, details the mountains, rivers, dams and cities of the north, among them Mosul and the oil fields of Kirkuk. [2]
Eagle Dynamics does not publish an airfield list for the map; the table below is taken from the game’s own data.
