baksie Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 AM I doing something wrong? On my TSD the map only shows at scales 50, 75 and 100.

Shimmergloom667 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) That is due to not all DCS maps having map image files for all scales included. That is, ultimately, something for the map creators to do and not an Apache bug.

Lower scale or higher scale map disappears At lower ranges the system looks for matching high detail "charts" i.e. 1:100K, and if there isn't one, it'll default to a black background. However, there's nothing stopping you manually selecting a lower detail chart that is in the system i.e. using 10 NM range with the 1:500K scale chart in the PG You also have the option to select a "Digital Elevation" and "Satellite" map "Type", instead of the "Chart". https://forum.dcs.world/topic/296268-apache-missing-maps/?do=findComment&comment=4923221 Edited March 23, 2022 by Ramsay 2 i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatSillyGinge Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm assuming this is a sim limitation (the fact that there are not charts available at all scales, whereas in the real world there might/should be?), but I wonder how the real aircraft handles in this situation? For me, it makes more sense as I keep zooming in for the closest available scale chart to keep showing, rather than showing a blank screen (e.g. to keep the 1:500k chart showing as you keep zooming in beyond that scale). Would be nice if that was selectable, perhaps as an option in the settings, to bridge the gap between reality and the limitations of the sim.

In F 10 I can zoom all the way out and this is fine. Maybe a limitation of the real AH-64? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Solution BIGNEWY Posted March 28, 2022 ED Team Solution Share Posted March 28, 2022 This is due to the terrains not having the correct digital map for the chosen scale. I have mentioned it to the team thanks 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

I have mentioned it to the team thanks Please Bignewy, the need of a rework of the map charts is a must. Not to asociate bigger scales to zoom on TSD, but having a proper scale map. If im not wrong the maps should be free There are places in DCS that are just black when you go to a smaller scale. This happens on every map and its affecting all modules with moving maps. The most recent ones the Hind and the Apache, were you need to go to a smaller scale than fixedwings I latetly have to tell newcomers to helicopters that asked about "why my map just went black", that is because there are no charts on the maps Please please you have the oportunity to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm not asking for a 12K:1, just a reasonable one for helicopters. Plus that work will benefit all DCS modules with a moving map.
