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.

The interactive map is loading. The airfield reference table remains available below.

Source: dcs-world-schema reference data: Syria 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: syria 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.

Other differences from reality

  • Harab Isk: DCS reproduces the US helicopter base at Harab-Ishq, in the Lafarge cement plant [1]; US forces closed it and destroyed it with their own strikes when they withdrew from northern Syria in October 2019. [2]

Coverage

The map covers most of the eastern Mediterranean, with about 69 airfields and heliports, including the large international airports of Damascus, Beirut, Tel Aviv and Larnaca, military bases such as Incirlik, RAF Akrotiri, Russia’s Khmeimim and Israel’s Ramat David, and more than 100 military bases and checkpoints. [1] It is built around present-day bases, such as Khmeimim and the US helicopter base at Harab-Ishq, but its makers say it supports missions from modern times to historical reenactments. [1] Each airfield’s radios, runways and runway beacons are in the game’s terrain data. [3]
