Different TAD map

[Braeden108]

This might be one for the mods and apps section but I feel the A-10 guys will know more.

 

I want to change the TAD map from the admittedly crappy flight chart to the F10 style map. Like is used in the Ka-50's ABRIS. Its so much easier to understand, gives you better SA.

 

So does anyone know if that's possible?

Hi Braeden.

 

Yes it is possible. Although according to my estimation it requires several steps, a few programs and about 6-12months of time if done alone. :) PM me if you want my suggestion for a workflow.

 

If you however want a quick improvement try the excellent TAD Map upgrade. The author of that pack and I are currently on expanding the TAD map on the 1:250k level.

 

Just my 2cents

Hahaha 6-12 months. Okay yeah I can do that...

 

Or I can just take that handy dandy mod you have.

 

So what makes changing the TAD map so difficult? I also wonder what its like to do it in the real A-10.

It's the fact that the TAD map is comprised of a few hundred separate tiles with a pure 1:1 square map geometry (1000x1000pix). To get the f10 map to work you would have to compile the 1:5m , 1:2m 1:500k and 1:250k (something like Linos map) res maps from the F10 map and then do a georeferencing on them using the old tiles as reference afterwhich you cut the new tiles from the newly compiled map files.

 

Or at least i think so. There might be a easier or a quicker way but i just havent figured it out:)
