Beacon Map

[Joni]

I think the way it is currently in the map is a good compromise between the paintet number of each airstrip (which most users is enough information) and the magnetic headings (for the pro pilots).

 

Fair enough :)

I´ve uploaded the new version 1.43 of the beacon map. The file can be found here:

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/588673/

 

 

Changelog:

 

- Implementation of the L-39C ATC radio channels

- Reworked the classification of all available aircraft in frequency categories. Now it is more handy to assign a specific aircraft to the related ATC frequency

- Some minor changes (Thanks to Piston85 and majapahit)

Thank you very much.

[Lino_Germany]

There is a typographical error in version 1.43: Gudauta should have ATC radio channel 10 for the L-39 Albatros. I´ll fix this in the next update. Thanks for reporting to user slpak.

Thanks Lino - love your work and appreciate you keeping it current.

Any plans on cutting it up and making it suitable for the kneeboard?

 

Anyway's, awesome work. Hope ED will eventually add similar functionality to F10 view on there maps.

Any plans on cutting it up and making it suitable for the kneeboard?

 

Due to the small space that is available and that it is not possible to zoom the map manually at the kneeboard, this will not satisfactory work.

 

You have to use the beacon map preferred with Windows Photo Viewer (easy zoom function with mouse wheel, fast image formation) on a separate monitor / laptop computer. An alternative solution may be the use on a tablet or a mobile phone.

Thanks for the reply, SL PAK. I´m sure the frequency was 1064 kHz before V. 1.5. Although this little one kHz will not impact the tuning quality of a particular NDB, I´ll fix this with the next update of the beacon map.

Version 1.44 ready for download.

 

New in version 1.44:

 

- ARC station 3-1 4 implemented

- RSBN and PRMG (new DCS 1.5 standard) implemented

Something is wrong with the grid north of Sukhumi. Out of alignment.

 

Thanks!

[Aviators]

great Work!!

[LcSummers]

Wow Lino,

 

fantastic job. You had hard work with the map and the list. Fantastic:thumbup:

 

Mensch Meier:lol:,das ist fubar, wirklich toll!!

 

Danke sehr, ich weiß es zu schätzen

Hello from Germany,

nice, detailed and truly helpful map, thanks for your efforts.

 

There is only one thing I didn’t understand well. The legend lists a yellow hexagon sign with center numbering

which means this field has the Russian RSBN and PRMG as navigation aid.

The map displays 16 fields with this yellow hexagon sign. But as far as I know DCS world has only 4 fields with this Russian version of VOR/ILS.

What do the other 12 signs represent?

[Lino_Germany]

The 16 channel numbers in yellow hexagons are valid for the MiG-21bis by Letherneck only. It is an early form of implementing RSBN and PRMG into DCS World. The more realistic approach for RSBN and PRMG is now implemented with the release of DCS World 1.5 Beta and the L-39C module (with just four supported airfields). These channels are also shown in the beacon map.

Hey Lino

 

Any plans for NTTR map?

 

Thanks

[Tic-Tac]

in the mean time you could go here

 

https://skyvector.com/

 

Click on 'charts' (globe icon) and choose Las Vegas sectional

 

Not only gives you the beacons but if you click on the airports gives you detailed info, ...although not perfect as doesn't cover everything for military sites

 

thanks

Hey Lino

 

Any plans for NTTR map?

 

Thanks

 

+1 Would love it.

[Lino_Germany]

Hi guys. Thanks for your kind words. I've a lot to do at the moment (with focus on translation of flight manuals into german language). The Beacon Map (Nevada Edition) will come next year.

[NeilWillis]

I knew we could rely on you Lino!

 

Can you also start work on the Normandy, Straits of Hormuz etc etc.... :music_whistling: :music_whistling:
