CAIRO WEST AIRBASE - WRONG PLACEMENT


Gierasimov

Recommended Posts

Hi @OnReTech - I want to bring to your attention, what I think is a bug.

Cairo West AB in DCS is where Sphinx International Airport is in real life, therefore AI takes long minutes to taxi from actual AB to runway at SPX and returns to the wrong runway as well. Since we don't have the civilian traffic in DCS and it is D COMBAT S, I think Cairo West should sit where it is in real life and not replace SPX as it was implemented.

@Gierasimov You are correct. Sphinx Intl (HESX) and Cairo West (HECW) are a joint-use airfield complex.  There's no reason we can't have active runways at both locations.  A similar situation exists at Capital Intl (HECP) and Wadi al Jandali (HE13) which is also a joint-use airfield complex.  Control Tower placement for both airfield complexes in DMS are: 

HESX - N30-06-36 E030-54-21  ELEV 524'

HECP - N30-03-44 E031-50-09  ELEV 788'

As I discover more Aeronautical Data anomalies I will update and post ...

Thanks @Backy 51 , also it makes me think it was fully intentional, as even the radio is calling SPX and not CW. That's a bummer, especially for those who would like to build a mission with that airbase.

I was in error about missing ATC Tower at HECP/HE13 ... there is one.  As for intentional errors, I think it is more likely to be a lack of source data. Overall, OnReTech has built a solid map foundation to build upon IMHO.
