Accurate/current charts

I've got the following files

DCS-A10C GND and VAD Charts_v403.pdf for DCS 1.2.4 18/05/2013

DCS-WORLD GND and VAD Charts_v403.pdf for DCS 1.2.4 18/05/2013

DCS_GND_Charts_v36_030513.pdf for DCS 1.2.4 3/5/2013

DCS_VAD_Charts_A10C_v36_030513.pdf for DCS 1.2.4 3/5/2013

DCS_VAD_Charts_FC3_v36_030513.pdf for DCS 1.2.4 3/5/2013

IFR Batumi.pdf by Tango -117- 2010

 

Can anyone advise whether those are all still accurate and consistent with 1.2.10 or if I should delete any of them and if there's any more up to date replacements?

 

I just want to make sure I'm not using and sharing any documents that will just make life more difficult.

Use the charts built into the knee board

OK but can they be extracted and printed?

 

Even if they can, I don't want to create work for myself if the pdfs I already have are accurate.

[dooom]

they should all be JPEG and accurate. search for "Kneeboard" in your windows search and check them out.

These charts are accurate as well. We use them for all 476th vFG sorties and are modeled after DoD Flight Info Publications.

OK, thanks. Yeah, I see them know. Easy enough to print out :)

Thanks, they look very nicely done. Definitely printing those out to put in my folder :thumbup:

Is there something off about the SU-25T HUD heading, as trying to land at Mozdok runway 26, heading 256 degrees didn't get me lined up and after restarting, on the ground the HUD shows about 262 degrees with the plane lined up with the centre line and about 82 degrees facing the other way, which the Kneeboard chart shows should be 76 degrees?

There are 2 things that come to my mind:

 

1. Have you powered up the electric system early enough to calibrate ? If not, that could have been it if you cannot reproduce it with a correct spool up of your AC

 

2. There is ( AFAIK ) an offset to magnetic North that depends on where on the globe you are and I think your topic has been discussed before and that offset was the cause. If you can reproduce it even with a correct spool-up then it should be the offset causing it. You would have to know the value and correct your instruments prior to take-off or landing accordingly.

 

Maybe others, RL pilots, can comment on #2 a bit deeper than I can.

 

 

Bit

Yep, definitely powered up as I was running the taxi, take-off training mission and took off and flew around for about 20 minutes before trying to land.

 

So I guess it must be #2. Damn, that's going to make life hard having to know what the offset is for every location and setting the instruments to compensate. I'm not even sure there is an offset setting for the SU-25T, so maybe we just have to compensate manually?

Did you leave 2-3 minutes after power up before turning on your engine?

Did you leave 2-3 minutes after power up before turning on your engine?

 

Probably not, I don't think the tutorial leaves that long before telling me to start the engines. Why would that be important?

 

I just tried the easy landing tutorial and lined up with the LNDG heading had me come in at right-angles to the runway!

G'day Paul,

 

Thanks for these pubs, I think they're fantastic.

 

Regarding the Vaziani HI-ILS OR LOC/DME RWY 32, it references the ILS for RWY 14.

 

Is this intended as a back-course ILS? If so is there something on the plate to indicate this?

 

Thanks for your work,

I checked for airfield ".jpg" files in my "Kneeboard" file:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD

But there are none in there or any of its sub directories?

No, the 476th vFG uses an internal mod that switches the "default" runway to 32 instead of 14.

Just bumping this to try and get an answer, thanks

Ok,, call me stupid,, you guys talk about this like you know it like the back of your hand, but no one can tell me why I cant see these files where you do?

THERE YA GO! Thanks a million!

So for all others, it is NOT in location
