Source: dcs-world-schema reference data: SinaiMap 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. † Where that data gives an airfield no tower radio, the frequencies come from pydcs terrain data: sinai airports (airports.py), an open-source library whose terrain data mirrors the game's. 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.

Coverage
The map centres on the Sinai Peninsula between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, with the Suez Canal, the Nile Delta, southern Israel and the western edges of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. [1] Its makers list 20 Egyptian airfields, including Cairo International, and 9 Israeli ones, including Ben Gurion, with lighting, approach lights, PAPI, TACAN and VOR, plus military bases, seaports, air-defence emplacements and helipads. [1] The game’s airfield list has grown to 55 fields and reaches north beyond the peninsula to Ramat David, Damascus and Beirut. [2]
The map is meant for re-enacting the Suez Crisis of 1956 and the wars of 1967 and 1973 as well as modern and fictional campaigns. [1]
