Missing elevation data for Syria map

[PHMAC]

Hi, 

It appears that the ns430 is missing elevation data for the Syria map. I don’t see terrain indications on the Nav-Terrain page.

 

Or am I doing something wrong?

Syria is not supported

IMHO maybe it is the right time for Belsimtek to speak with Ugra Media and make it happen!!

Syria should be supported by NS430.

I'm thinking of buying this, does it have basic functionality on Syria? No terrain data is fine, but can it navigate to a given coordinate?

Short answer is yes.

• It takes it's data from the mission file - so imports the mission flight plan (if there is one).
• It takes the airport and Nav data from the Syria map - so the "nearest airport/direct to" list works
• You can create user waypoints by slewing the map cursor or entering DDM co-ordinates

• The main thing missing graphicly in Syria is any indication of the coast line.

• I'm not sure how well the NS430's MagVar is working in Syria but it seems good enough to get you close to your desired bearing/course

• As the NS430 doesn't load/use Syria's terrain height map, it doesn't seem to suffer from the Persian Gulf's stutters and slow downs.

This Grim Reapers video covers most of the DCS NS430's options

Tested DCS 2.7.10.19473

+1, still missing alt data

+1 it's 2024 and still no elevation data for the Syria map. I wonder if there's a way to make this modifiable by users so we can add our own.

yeah bump ns430 need to have support for such maps.
