DCS Theater Topographical Map

Put this together using the A-10C 1:500K TAD chart pages. The detail isn't quite good enough for detailed mission planning, but the 1:250K scale did not have all of the pages and some of them were not great anyway.

Suggestions welcome.

These are just screenshots of the map. The complete map is very large and over 70MB.

Great! Thanks for the work. Now I need a good copy shop to print it 1:1 scale for my seat of the pants flying :thumbup:

Nice, thank you.

GREAT THANKS!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you.

Regards,

Milli

nice

thanks!

AWEEEEESOME

Any idea how to export it to an iPad?

Thanks!!

Create a "high quality" PDF and copy it over - I am sure an iPad can open it.

I would be inclined to section it into pages with an index grid page if I were going to convert it to PDF for a tablet. My two cents. :)

I stumbled on this by accident. WOW!!!! beats TC-1 by a long shot.

I have the 1:250k JOG AIR of dcs world area of operation; If someone need it give me a call!

The JOG AIR it's to much details for jet BBQ mission, the TAD or TPC is the standard for a nav BBQ and for target area usually need the 1:50K!

Bye Bye!

Wasn't there some sort of usage license connected with the TAD maps?

Thanks EvilBivol-1 :thumbup:

Thanks, would you care to zip the image, so it does not load inside the browser? :-)

Where (folder path) do I access the maps showed on TAD? By the way, I use Helios, and there is a set of airbase charts I can access, but I would like to change some of them and I can´t find their path. Any ideas?

Open the file TAD_COLLECTION.zip (located in X:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Terrain\A-10C\Maps) - this is where all the puzzle-pieces are located.

Evil,

What did you use to view the files? I looked into the folder and the files have a .sup3 extension.

Thanks!

I wonder, is the map in game 100% (or a bit less) accurate to the real world data? I mean do the coordinates match the real life coordinates?

Yes, they correspond very closely indeed. Hit http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx and then enter a MGRS coordinate such as 37TGG3629945643, which I took when I was sitting on the runway on Kobuleti in-game. Plot that in Google Earth, and the Google Earth imagery drops a marker right next to a runway :)

Admittedly the runway looks pretty old and disused, but it's the right spot nonetheless.

ipad 2 1:500 scale charts

to expand on the great job bivol did, I split his topo chart into ipad resolution sectionals. This works great and the detail for each part falls within the ipad resolution [1536X2048]

here is the link:

enjoy!

the next step would be to split the TC-1 into similar sectionals and now we have a compatible TAD+TC-1 for ipad. I was thinking about a 50/50 merge but the details wouldn't be straight readable. Once again I thank bivol for this wonderful job.
