Trouble locating radio beacons for nav purposes

[sobe]

I am having trouble locating radio beacons to practice radio navigation.  Which type of map do they show up on?  Is there a map that shows them?  I seem to recall that Lino had such a map.

For which map?

For Caucasus you can find here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-uSpZROuEd3YWJBUmZTazBGajQ/view?resourcekey=0-f0mHHtOHnbLsYwZ441Sh3Q . Some map like this you can find on main DCS website > download > user files. They are visible in Mission Editor also.

They're all over the f10 map.

You can generally find 2 ndbs by all airfields.  They have a cluster of dots pattern and usually are something like 360 MHz or whatever.

You can put 2 and flip between them on the radio compass panel to your left.  Theres two dials to input the frequency of beacons.  Change the dial to comp. The skinny needle with a number one will swing to the beacon on your compass.  It can bounce around a little in flight but steadies out.

It doesn't have a range so you need to keep an eye on it.

Also if you donyour own mission, you can drop trucks everywhere that will broadcast messages for you to track on.

 

I use these all the time in my desert missions where everything looks like sand.
