bkrontz Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Hi All, I'm new so this may not be the best way to do things, but my CDU and EGO were destroyed in flight so I zoomed in on the TAD map to find an airfield to land. I saw a couple on the map nearby, but they weren't listed on the regular airfield map I pulled from the forums... the names were weird... and the map didn't even look like what I was flying over (I was next to water, but no water on map). Is the map correct or just something they pulled off the web to make it look nice? No biggie either way... I can always fall back to TACAN and ILS if they don't get shot up as well. :) Thanks! Brian

BlueRidgeDx Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Is the map correct or just something they pulled off the web to make it look nice? Yes, the maps are correct and different maps are used at various scales as per the real jet. If the map didn't correspond to you location, you might not properly aligned the EGI prior to takeoff, or perhaps you were operating the TAD in the EXP or EXP1 modes which are not aircraft centered modes?
