VFR charts for briefings?

Recommended Posts

Was planning to create a fictional South Atlantic campaign around WW2 era, but would really want some historic VFR Sectionals to make that work. The only one I was able to locate is AAF Aeronautical Chart 1627 (Mt Piramide, Chile) from 1943. Any one know of a good source for a raster layer that would include Cape Horn? The AAF Aeronautical Chart index indicates 1668, 1669, and 1626 would complete that Tierra del Fuego / Falkland Islands set.

Alternatively, I could stick to modern era, but I'm not finding much good to work with there either. Probably because I'm not looking in the proper place or using the right search terms. Alternatively, I could just re-assemble the dds files from the RasterCharts folder. Other ideas?

Pimax Crystal, Asus ProArt X670E-Creator, Ryzen 7950X3D, 64gb DDR5, RTX 4090 FE, Magic Trackpad 3, Warthog HOTAS, Warthog Throttle and TPR pedals.

The included maps in DCS are the ONC and TPC series charts. Here are the ones for South Atlantic:

Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.
