Ability to change or add map layers to Color Moving Map

[Notso]

on the MPCD. It would be really cool to be able to add custom maps to the moving map display in the Hornet. For instance, the more detailed NTTR maps with the different restricted ranges marked out.

 

Another that would be good is to be able to place other things like threat rings, tanker tracks, ROZs and such on the moving map. But of course we would need the DTC function to make this happen.

 

Just a thought.

This would enhance situation awareness in battle arena.

I read of the eurofighter having a pages in the mfcd displaying airport charts with presentation of destination, flight route, flight restrictions areas, departure /approach profiles and holding pattern chart. It called a paperless cockpit, . Just wish Truegrit can feature this in their version of the eurofoghter.

 

Looking forward to seeing the capabilities of DTC implementation.

Why just the Hornet, the Hog and the Harrier use the exact same maps. Jeff also has the option to use these as well as vector maps, none of which are particularly legible for me.

Is this something that can be done on the real Hornet? There are multiple map styles available for the Hornet in the TAMMAC system, but I'm not sure it supports mission-specific maps. 

But if it does, it would be pretty cool to see the new drawing features from the mission editor tie into the in-cockpit maps.

Yep!

The controlled image base or CIB allows for a custom input map set or image to be displayed.

See the NFM -000 section 24.1.3.3.1

Something you could possibly do with that is
Have recce images of your DMPIs for cross reference.

Does this mean that we should be able - maybe through the DTC- to:

• Draw lines (FLOT)
• Draw exclusion (No-fly) zones
• ...

This would be really helpful, from my point of view. The possibility of having images of DPTCs, would be the cherry on top
