Since the release of DCS World, the sole free map has been the Caucasus Map. Although a great map and the recipient of significant updates, we now offer the DCS: Mariana Islands Map for FREE.
DCS: Marianas
For this new map, we have used our latest map technologies and provide a vastly different combat environment in a new part of the world. The map includes the following features:
A very large ocean area with a few islands. Ideal for carrier operations.
Islands that are situated such that airfields have natural red, blue, and contested locations.
Home to the largest USAF base in the south Pacific.
Feasible for US, Russia, and China operations in the Pacific.
Take advantage of the Chinese Assets Pack.
The Mariana Islands is a massive 1,500 x 1,500 km map with the option to expand further in the future. Home to one of the largest USAF airbases in the region, Anderson AFB on Guam serves as an anchor of US forces in the Pacific region, but it is within reach of both Chinese and Russian Pacific forces to the north. The same island chain also served as the backdrop of the World War II battles of Guam, Saipan, and Rota, as well as the carrier vs. carrier Mariana Islands battle.
