Tnt Snipes Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Would it be too much to request from all the Modders to maybe work on this for the A10 guys. This is a Photoshop image as an example of the TAD and not an actual MOD. The idea behind this is to use the F10 map in the TAD instead of the current maps. The current maps are hard to understand and change when zoom in/out. We already have the F10 map available at different zoom levels, why not use that instead of the current maps that clutter things rather than helping. The Ka50 Abris uses the F10 map, and i think this should be possible as well. If not already done and if you feel that this would help the A10 guys greatly and if doable, I request to all modders to please make us this MOD. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I would love to create a kneeboard mod using my accurate Caucasus map. I already know where the raster tiles are stored (\DCS World\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\RasterCharts). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the exact projection used to produce the existing raster tiles. This information is the only thing that I'm missing to do the job. @BIGNEWY, could you please ask the map team about this?

Flappie Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hey @davidp57! It's OK, a friend helped me with that! See here. Now, all I need is some free time, but I have an important real life project incoming: I'm moving out. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

First, let me congratulate you for your resilience I know him well, he's a nice guy ; he was a VEAF member for a long time, and we still fly with him sometimes. Can I help somehow with this project ?

I think A-10 should use the map mode you mentioned, including the upcoming AH-64. The F10 map mode is the correct map mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hey David, I've not moved yet (end of September) and when I'm not sawing wood, adding eletrical circuits, or puting plaster all over my future liing room, I'm quite busy with beta testing right now. Poke me again in October: I'll have a brand new desk with a large screen, and less excuses. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Rogue. Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Whilst the current map mode can be difficult to see overlays etc, the maps themselves are accurate to RL. Inbuilt digital moving map systems such as DMAP do not just zoom in and out of one map, they use layers of different scales and different map types for topographic and data information. Up to 17 different maps is not uncommon.
