Suggestion: add an option in the units for headings to be in Magnetic or true or both. different platforms or groups may want both or one or the other.

I believe to have figured out the DCS declination calculation. The next update should have accurate ( year, lat, lon ) magnetic headings.

UPDATE: declination is now accurate to DCS within 0.1 degrees

That’s awesome! Please make sure to have the option for on or the other or both in the route part, and then a clear delineation or label in the columns so that doesn’t get mixed up.

another thought would be to add a wind corrected heading column. Right now what you are essentially creating in the kneeboard is the desired course from steerpoint to steerpoint, but with any wind, the desired heading will be different (so that the aircraft flies the desired course) it’s a fairly simple vector calculation if you know the winds direction and velocity at the altitude the aircraft is flying at, and if the winds are known for a navigational leg then this would be included in this kind of planning.

Additionally for the loadout section, it would probly be beneficial if it’s possible to read the fuze and laser code settings that got added and have them displayed there somehow. That way you could at a glance see all of that info and what fuze/laser code/shrike seeker etc… you picked in the mission editor.

Any chance you could have it so that when you generate the kneeboard you can download as a png it would download as pages so you dont have to scroll? 

Also would be nice if you could inject the kneeboard into the miz file when saving?

Yes both are planned features

Also it looks like when you generate a kneeboard it only show friendlies from same country. Would be better if it was friendlies from all coalitions

Thank you @winghunter and those who put their own time and effort into this tool.

    I've never seen so much sand in peoples va*inas over things that are absolutely free for them to use. I can understand people giving constructive input as some are doing, to help make a free utility even better. But, as for the baseless insults for a product that people have $0 invested in, excluding the creators. Those should probably hit the local pharmacy and grab a couple douche kits and get to work on flushing out that sticky 'ol sand, just get right in there, consider even using a water hose for extra pressure.

DCS Web Viewer 0.4.61 is released

At the moment I saw the nav fixes only in the Mediterranean sea. Will the rest of the nav fixes come later?
And is there a list with the fixes and the coordinates so that we can use them in scripting?

[winghunter]

They load for the current mission theater only. If you open another mission theater, you may need to toggle the layer to make them update.

ok, now is working.
And thanks for the EArthFix.json. With it I can easily create civil flights.

additional question, where you get the fixes from? Or when they are created?
