JozMk.II Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) An in-game flight map for DCS World much like the one in IL-2, Cliffs of Dover, and Rise of Flight would be great, especially for aircraft like the P-51D that lack GPS displays. Here is an example of such a map from Cliffs of Dover: This map is displayed by hitting the M key. It can be scrolled, re-sized, and zoomed in and out with the mouse. Such a map would work a lot better than the F10 map currently available in DCS world, since this one enables you to still fly the aircraft while looking at the map; It reasonably simulates having an actual fold-out map on your lap in the cockpit. Such functionality would be great for planes like the P-51D, Su-25A, A-10A, and even the F-15C. Please, Eagle Dynamics, seriously consider adding this feature to DCS World.

Weta43 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Expanding slightly on the previous post(s) :), press the K key, then go to the options/controls section of the launcher & have a look through the commands for the keystrokes to scroll through the maps at various zoom levels, airfield charts, and to mark your current heading and position. Cheers.

JozMk.II Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Oh geez, that's nice; A sectional map! Man, I wish I'd known of this before. Thanks to everyone who replied for enlightening me of this feature. Quick question: Is it possible to zoom into individual pages, or am I limited to switching pages for different pre-loaded zoom levels?
WildBillKelsoe Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 if you want maximum realism with analog aircrafts in DCS, get the TC-1 theater map, slice it into A4 sizes and laminate each. It yielded 25 sheets with my own cut, but I recommend A3 or larger slices. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

kestrel79 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Cool, I thought F10 was the only map in DCS. I always didn't like that map, this is good to know thanks!
