DCS Moving Map ( F10 map alternative ) for the F-4E & other modules, free download, save VRAM

[winghunter]

Phellow Phantoms

Since I always had issues with the F10 map in VR, I've created a replacement for the F10 map.

It runs through Heatblur's ingame browser, any other browser or OpenKneeboard

* Works in 2D and VR, saves VRAM

* Show mission route points, distances, headings in MH° and TH°

* Shows airport and beacon info on hover

* Show friendlies / neutrals / enemies ( if mission allows it )

* Show / hide player position

* Follow player / show track

* Draw on map and take notes

* Import notes/drawings from DCS Web Viewer

* Import .kml files

* Many different map styles including TPC, ONC, VFR & IFR HI/LOW

@winghunter Does it show more information than the actual F10 map? I'm especially thinking about showing ownship position in missions that have this disabled for the F10 map. If so, does your mod pass the IC?

It respects the map/server settings. It passes IC since it doesnt change any game files

Damn, begin to regret buying the NS430...

Check out the setup video from Sandboxcode

I've added map rotation and navigation fixes

Amazing tool. I was having terrible stutters with the ingame map until someone recommended this.

Thank you.

Iraq support added

There is a performance fix for the moving map. Some users experienced stutters while others did not. This occured mostly on wifi connections. This fix should completely remove those stutters that only occured when opening the moving map.

• Extract the dcs-web-viewer-api-4.lua to Saved Games/DCS../Scripts/Hooks
• Delete the old dcs-web-viewer-api-3.lua !
• Restart DCS
• ( Make sure you're using 127.0.0.1 as IP instead of localhost. Localhost can trigger a DNS lookup that DCS lua socket won't like.)

Some users have problem with the new api-4 file, so here is the old api-3 file

dcs-web-viewer-api-3.lua

Once installed how do you open it, I've seen F-4 browser mentioned but I'm not sure what that is.

I may be missing something.

[winghunter]

Do you have the F-4 ? Then open its ingame browser

Otherwise just use Chrome browser outside DCS

That did it.

It stuttering just a little, you say something about changing my IP?

 

[winghunter]

Which script have you installed? dcs-web-api-lua-4? or 3

Although I executed all steps as descrbed, with correct dcs-web-viewer-api-4.lua in correct directory, DCS running, IP 127.0.0.1 used  DCS Web Viewer keeps displaying "DCS mission not running or Scripts/Hook missing".

What am I missing here?

[winghunter]

Try this file instead. Are you on wifi or ethernet?

dcs-web-viewer-api-4-test60.lua(1).zip

Tried it, but still does not work. I tried renaming dcs-web-viewer-api-4-test60.lua to dcs-web-viewer-api-4.lua - still no success.

Could it matter that the directory name "Saved Games" is named "Gespeicherte Spiele" in my german Windows 11 installation? However, everything else DCS reads from "Gespeicherte Spiele" works fine.

Got Ethernet by cable.

what does the 127.0.0.1/health endpoint say when you open it in the browser

I've just tested this, it looks really cool. One thing I noticed is the label for my plane turning with the map. I guess the labels should be put on the rotated map in normal reading orientation.

Another thing would be to have R (rotate) and F (follow) work independently. As of now, with Follow, I can't disable map rotation to my heading.

I was just messing around with it for a while, but as an independent NS430 alternative which can be put on another screen, it's very, very nice!

Sorry, I missed your response.

The browser refused 127.0.0.1/health webside connection with "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". I already checked firewall settings but my browser (Opera) is enabled.
