RSBN for Afghanistan (Phase 2)

[skywalker22]

 

Here is the 1st versin of RSBN navigation for Mig-21. I included all the airports ED has in mind to include in all three phases of EA, also the northern part.

Here is the map with all airports and airbases for all three phases, numbered by RSBN channels:

 

And here is the Kneeboard which you will also see in the cockpit:

How to install it:

Simply unzip the content of the file into main folder DCS World OpenBeta.

There is one file you guys have to edit, because I don't know how many maps do you guys have, so you have to do it by your self:

Inside the folder: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Cockpit\Systems

edit the R_NAV_data.lua by adding this line of text: "Afghanistan" some where inside the brackets, I added it at the bottom. Just don't forget to add the comma after the penultimate map name and no comma after the last map name! This is my example:

Maps_Table = {
	"Caucasus",
	"Nevada",
	"Normandy",
	"PersianGulf",
	"TheChannel",
	"SinaiMap",
	"Syria",
	"Kola",
	"Afghanistan"
}

 

ATTENTION: with editing this file, you will break the Integrity Check (IC) in the multiplayer, offline will work normally. If you want to use multiplayer, you will have to remove the map's name from the R_NAV_data.lua file. I hope the devs include these 2 things in the near future to be part of the DCS game so we can use RSBN navigation online as well.

NOTE for all: if you find any issue please let me know here, so I can fix it.

Thanks for putting this together - it's really opened up the Afghan map for me.

I was curious if you had any insights into how the PRMG landing system works in DCS, to say, could we replicate it for the Afghan map too on the back of RSBNs, or is this a whole other thing? Certainly not crucial, but alongside RSBNs it would be a fantastic tool to take advantage of in game.

Again, bravo for your hard work here!

Take a look this video, how to use PRMG navigational system:

Thanks for that reply. I think my question was more about how PRMG works from an implementation point of view rather than how to use in game; I feel comfortable flying PRMG approaches in the Caucasus map.

The question I had was more so this: does your (fantastic) work implementing RSBN into the Afghanistan map also allow us to fly PRMG approaches? As I can't seem to fly PRMG approaches in Afghanistan, I would assume not, but was curious if you had any more experienced insights into this.

Thanks in advance for anything further you could add here

As far as I understad how RSBN and PRMG is implemetned into Mig-21, it only uses one single channel for both types of navigations (so the same channel used for RSBN approach navigation is also used for PRMG landing navigation). And it should work on all the maps which have the belonging lua file. Not sure how this is actually done IRL.
