CommandT Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Hey folks, Trying to create a realistic-looking bombing range in DCS. Searched through google images but can't find all that many good photos. Perhaps this thread could be for folk to share real life photos or videos of bombing ranges? Would be greatly appreciated for mission makers too
G.J.S Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Have you looked at the 476th range objects stuff? https://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=287 Details about the ranges if you install (but will give you an idea if you wish to set up your own elsewhere). https://www.476vfightergroup.com/nttr/nttr.php - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
CommandT Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 I have the mod. I just want to see what stuff looks like in real life Both Russian and Western layouts.
G.J.S Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Maybe your easiest route would be Google Earth (if you have it), and see the layouts from above. Google bombing ranges, like Tain, Garvie, Spadeadam and Holbeach in the UK for instance. In the US, there are many. Nevada you know of. Barry M. Goldwater range in Arizona, Avon Park AFR in Florida, Bravo 20 in the Fallon range complex, also in Nevada. Bare in mind however - ranges change, sometimes frequently. Russian? No idea unfortunately.

That's awesome. Thanks a lot for that! Didn't know about those. Found them on google maps. Very interesting.
G.J.S Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Garvie, I should have added “Island” on the end, lol. Also it’s part of the Cape Wrath complex in Scotland. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -

G.J.S Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Also look at Decimomannu on the island of Sardinia. There is a range up the western side of the island (look for large white rings near the coast). - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
