[REPORTED]Rye Chain Home station has incorrect layout

[xvii-Dietrich]

This arose from a discussion on the DCS WW2 discord. I was surprised to see the Rye Chain Home receive antennas is a staggered S-configuration. Investigation shows that the foundations are located in a rhomboid. Additionally, the transmit antennas seem incorrectly spaced. Comparison to a video by SUNTSAG of an old photograph of the site to the Channel Map layout indicates the errors in the antenna location and infrastructure buildings. Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksSfGCeFdT0 (esp. 5m10s onwards).

 

Using some screenshots supplied by iFoxRomeo, I did some investigation. Comparison to modern aerial photographs, superimposed to the same landscape scale shows that in DCS:

 

1.  One receive antenna is completely incorrect.

2.  The other receive antennas are slightly incorrect.

3.  The foundations of the transmit antennas are spaced too far apart.

4.  The foundations of the transmit antennas are too big.

5.  Infrastructure buildings are incorrect.

While I appreciate that not all features of the map will never be 100% accurate, I feel that the mis-configuration of such a significant piece of equipment should be corrected.

Thanks for the report,

 

I have reported the tower position to the team, please note that some artistic licence is used for things like the buildings.
