DCS Beacon Map

[Lino_Germany]

I´ve prepared a navigation map containing the exact position of NDBs, VORs, TACAN, VORTAC, ILS, channels, frequencies, morse codes and markers. That should make navigaton over long distances for most DCS aircraft much easier.

 

Note: This is a .JPG file! It is not possible to integrate it into the DCS World environment (some dudes tried this). 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.

AIRCRAFT RADIO & NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT

Current version Radio & Navigation Equipment: Version 1.0

 

As a preparation for the next "Beacon Map" generation I´ve compiled a list of all available navigation and radio equipment from every cockpit.

New update available.

 

Latest fixes:

- Added ATC channels for the UH-1H (UHF)

- Added ATC channels for the M-2000C (VHF / UHF)

- Added airport information

- Added NDBs and ILS for both possible landing directions

- All changes in frequencies, morse codes, ILS and NDBs since DCS World 1.5. See current status here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...bnBd_mKAE/edit

Hi Lino - Thank you - I have it :D

Hi Lino,

 

Another suggested change for your fine Beacon Maps.

 

Where you have the various navigation and landing aids listed down the left hand side of the map, perhaps it would it be helpful to have a corresponding aircraft outline for each aircraft type which is capable of using each particular beacon type next to the respective beacon description?

 

Just a thought and for your consideration.

[Lino_Germany]

I'll give it a chance.

[dresoccer4]

this is awesome, thank you so much. i have it open as a permanent fixture on my second monitor

[Phantom453]

Well Lino, looks like they'll have a whole swag of new airfields for you to include on your NTTR beacon map soon!!

 

Another modification for your consideration. On the Beacon Maps, could you include both the frequency and the channel for the VORTAC beacons (NttR in particular). The reason I suggest this is because you select the channel for say the F-5, while you need to dial in the frequency for the Huey.

 

For your consideration.

[CrimsonGhost]

I will throw another very sincere thank you into the ring here for your fantastic maps. I am looking forward to them being updated with all the recent changes as well. Thank you again sir!

[Phantom453]

Hi Lino,

 

Just wondering if you were planning on updating your beacon maps? Especially the NTTR one, or are you waiting until 2.5 is released? I note there have been quite a lot of changes to radio frequencies etc.

 

Find your beacon maps very useful and always have them running when flying.

Wow! Thank you so much for this. Very useful.

While waiting, you can use existing FAA plates & charts now in NTTR, because they made the frequencies (mostly) accurate.

 

It's bad for module authors who don't currently have a good way to set per-plane frequency/channel defaults as a function of the map, but it's good for realism in general.

Hi guys, I apologise for being late to keep you informed. We hadly worked on some translations of the DCS aircraft manuals, so personal projects are postponend. Nevertheless the beacon maps will be updated in the future.

I broadly welcome this proposal. Currently I am working on an overview of the special available radio and navigation avionics as the basis to make design decisions for the beacon map. Here is an excerpt:

Since I believe, that there will be some major changes regarding frequencies and others in the near future, I will maybe wait for several weeks with building a new HD frequencies map of the NTTR theatre.

I´ll do that.

No GNSS nor Galileo for the gazelle, NADIR is a doppler navigation

[MickeEinSweden]

Hi Lino_ and Merry Christmas.

 

I find this design concept to present the information didactic and easy to scan after the specific info you need. Hope you will use it in comming Lino_Germany radiofrequenzy lists.

Best Regards

Thanks. Will fix that soon. It would be a good idea to show my draft here before publishing it...:music_whistling:

[Lino_Germany]

As a preparation for the next "Beacon Map" generation I´ve compiled a list of all available navigation and radio equipment from every cockpit. It would be nice if some experts proofread this early draft an report every detected mistake. Thanks in advance.

The DCS Mi-8 has an intercom actually, but other than that, what a spiffy doco! Well done mate :thumbup:

[wolf5]

Like the SA342

 

ICS : TF AP 18

VHF/AM : TRAP 138

VHF/UHF : Saturn TRA 6031

VHF/FM : TRC 9600 PR4G

ADF : NR AN 19

[grunf]

Great, thank you! :thumbup:

 

There's an error for L-39, its R-832M radio is V/UHF (118-140MHz, 220-389.95 MHz).
