Syria navigation

Is this working? I can't seem to figure it out, but user error is possible. Has anyone got it to function correctly?

I am not sure what you are reffering to, but note that many ADF beacons are in MHz. You need them to be in kHz to tune into them.

You could fly VFR. That means just by map, clock and your eyes.

Thank you Martin for that. I guess the map symbols were confusing me. Tuning in the khz worked.

 

 

Mike Romeo, true. On the other hand I've been putting off learning to use the radio compass for a very long time already.

I guess the map symbols were confusing me. Tuning in the khz worked.

 

Note that some of the map's NDB frequencies are WRONG i.e. some kHz frequency beacons have an extra 3 zeros (making them MHz in DCS).

 

These are GOOD

 

• Ramat David 368 kHz RMD

• Hatay 336 kHz HTY

• Baniyas 304kHz BAN

• Rene Mouawad 450 kHz RA

• Aleppo 396 kHz ALE, 365 kHz MER

 

These frequencies are WRONG and can't be tuned i.e. don't match RL

 

* Adana Sakipasa 395,000.00 kHz ADN (should be 395 kHz)

* Bassel Al-Assad 414,000.00 kHz LTK (should be 414 kHz)

* Beirut Intl 351,000.00 kHz BOD (should be 351 kHz)

 

I'm sure there are others with extra zeros but I don't have time to test them all.

My Syria map additions:

 

HOMER beacons freq. fixed

 

RSBN added (to L-39):

ALEPPO 5 channel

PALMYRA 10 channel

DAMSCUS 15 channel

LATAKIA 20 channel

 

PRMG added (to L-39):

LATAKIA 17R, 22 channel

Personally I think the best solution would be to have the RSBN vehicle and PRMG equipment available in the mission editor to be placed in missions, with controls for channel/frequency, identifier etc.
