lemoen Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I thought it would be nice to have a route planning app (web or offline) that can allow one to create waypoints, for e.g. the Viggen, and get their heights / qfe or to find the best route to fly below radar in a helo, from one place to another. This would be very useful on multiplayer where the kneeboard doesn't contain it. It would probably mean than you'd have to enter the values manually but hey. In order to do this offline, I'd need the terrain mesh lats / longs and heights. Is it possible to get this?

For higher resolution or curated data, you usually need to pay. My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E

I guess I'll just use a lua script in game to query the terrain height over a grid of lats and longs to get what I need.
