Tiger-II Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Hi, If I set the map type to elevation, everything is blue (sea level) in Caucuses. I haven't tried other maps yet.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
uboats Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 elevation map is like the moving map of ka-50 which is actually more close to the real one we may later learn to use fx to improve its visual effect [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn |
Tiger-II Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 How do you mean? The current map is all blue, all the time, making it useless. It should be shaded different colors based on relative altitude, AFAIK. All blue is certainly incorrect.

AeriaGloria Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I’m inclined to believe the blue is probably closest to what PAF use. It’s not that uncommon, look at GNS 430 maps for instance, they are just as if not more plain. There is photos of the Myanmar simulator with their moving map, but as I believe the quick start manual mentions, the operator chooses the map Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Ramsay Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 ... look at GNS 430 maps for instance, they are just as if not more plain. This is the DCS NS430 terrain map and I guess is what the OP is asking for. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440

Tiger-II Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) please check ka50, if same and you believe it's incorrect, report to ED we can do nothing, it's from API :( Been a while since I flew the Shark, but IIRC yes, it's the same. I'm not sure if it is correct for the Ka-50, but certainly for the JF-17 it seems wrong for the ELEVATION map to be all blue, as it gives zero indication of terrain height! The better question is: what does the real JF-17 elevation map mode look like? As written above, I'd expect either TAWS-style relative height coloring, or a map that looks like the elevation map in the mission editor (the TAWS presentation would be the most useful in this situation).

Shrike88 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Greetings. Understand its an ED Image / API inherited image. I wonder if its something that individual .lua or modules can augment or wash with contrast to adjust the api image thats given. Might not give you exactly what you want but adjusting original image contrast might appear to give us a different image from original. For now I have been using Symbol max / Brightness down on HSD to give the easiest view on the map
