Full resolution JPG/PNG/etc. of actual in-game map?

[Bearfoot]

Is this available anywhere? I've seen some different versions, e.g. ones from the A-10C TADS (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=102322) or ONC (

), but I think for mission-building/design/planning, it would be really nice to have a standalone JPG or some other sort of image. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

Hey Bearfoot,

Search "DCS online mission planner" on Google (or here.)

There is a nice browser based tool you can use to plan ops; show flight plans, label locatioms, etc.

Hi feefifofum,

 

That's a great tool to know about, thanks for pointing it out!

 

Howver, it seems that it uses the A-10C TADS map from here (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/599103/). Is that right?

Not the one I'm thinking of, I'll try to hunt it down for you a bit later...

The one I'm taking about let's you swap between the DCS map, a RW altitude map, and Google satellite images (which are surprisingly close!)

Here it is:

 

http://jboecker.github.io/dcs-mission-planner/planner_client.html

 

It does make use of the A-10's TAD maps as an option, but they are not required...I've never set the tool up but I've used it as described ("plain" map, satellite images etc.)

Where did you get the plain map, satellite images, etc. from?

There's a very (very) partial map I did some time ago

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2150407/

If you happen to plan any fighting in the Gali area you might find it useful:pilotfly:

 

FWIW...

Assaf.

Download the admin tool and create a map, you'll see.

Ah, this was what I was looking for! VERY helpful! Thanks!

 

So, was this assembled by taking many screenshots and stitching together??! VERY hard work!

Thanks. Trying it out now, but stuck on the "opening websocket..." page, tho...

Glad it helped:thumbup:

Yep, took map screenshots, combined them & added the markings (windows paint).

Took some time to do, but was worth the effort - came in handy when we're running Operation Safe-North and had to coordinate the fighting between the ground forces / SU25's / KA50 / A10's.

 

Cheers,

Assaf.

Hmm..script blockers etc. all disabled? Afraid I can't really help with troubleshooting the setup process as I've only used it once an instance was already created; I haven't actually set it up from scratch but it -was- working as of a couple months ago.
