MidEast theater 128 segments (for 4.35 U3)
-
Dear Goro, Gentlemen all,
Good morning.
I’m glad to announce here that, almost together with the Taiwan “Domino” custom mission next to be released, I started creating another one a few days ago.
I called it “Operation Telic, 2003”, and I wish to thank publically our good friend dema for having made me wondering about…
But I wouldn’t tell you too much. Until the job isn’t finished and ready to be flown, at least.Well, if anyone may be interested (I hope so) “Stay tuned!”, as they say.
With best regards to all.

Good afternoon everyone,
First of all, thanks a lot for this job, its awesome.
I am currently testing to integrate the Kuwait 128 segment in Tacview. I have correctly imported the map by modifing the CustomTextureList. But when I put information Data-Falcon4Theaters, I have a wrong position of the aircraft…
Entring coordinate East / West / South / North give me a position in Russia - Ukraine and not in KSA. (When I fly on Top Left on the map).Here is currently that I have (with the full biggest map provided in docs)
<theater id="Kuwait"><terrain>Data/Add-On Kuwait test/Terrdata/terrain</terrain> <database>Data/Add-On Kuwait test/Terrdata/Objects</database> <lod>2</lod> <west>37.07974</west> <east>57.40827</east> <south>20.83086</south> <north>38.54556</north> <visible>1</visible> <timezone>+3</timezone></theater>
I do not know if the problem comes from tacview or its come from another thing… :x
Thanks a lot for help

I have never used Tacview.
But the coordinates of the theater are as follows:Theater name: My Selection
Theater size: Large
Size (L2 segments): 128 x 128
Size (L2 tiles): 2048 x 2048
Size (Nautical Miles): 1104.75 x 1104.75
Resolution: 0.134858 Nautical MilesCentered on: Lat 29.7 Long 47.2
NW: Lat 38.9063 Long 35.3694
NE: Lat 38.9063 Long 59.0306
SW: Lat 20.4937 Long 37.3717
SE: Lat 20.4937 Long 57.0283Highest point: 17715ft
Lowest point: 0f -
We approximatly have the same coordinate (extracted with Mission Commander & In flight steerpoint)
<customtexture layer="Falcon 4"><file>kuwait-testMap.png</file> <bottomleft><longitude>37,22</longitude> <latitude>20.29</latitude></bottomleft> <bottomright><longitude>57.00</longitude> <latitude>20.29</latitude></bottomright> <topright><longitude>60.59</longitude> <latitude>38.53</latitude></topright> <topleft><longitude>37.22</longitude> <latitude>38.53</latitude></topleft></customtexture> ```=> This code is to inject the map in Tacview => EDIT 2 : I will correct the coordinate with yours values (Thanks a lot) EDIT : Here is the delta between in-flight and tacview
-
Possibly Tacview - takes data about the center of the map from the weather file.
Try to change:X\Falcon BMS 4.35\Data\Add-On Kuwait test\Terrdata\weather*weather.ini*
Latitude 29.7
Longitude 47.2Or
Latitude 30
Longitude 47 -
my weather.ini is :
TimeZone 3
Latitude 58
Longitude 17
(near stockholm).I have change the value with our proposition and any change on the position of the aircraft.
If i change the value of the Data-Falcon4Theaters (Tacview file), it change the position of the aircraft. but its seems I need to apply an offset.I will iterate the information to check when I reach the real in flight position… really wired…
Or if someone have an explanation :x.
EDIT : after a quick check with shared memory and Tacview : here is some more value :
Quick flight with the Polnochny - Create flight on Armaco Khafji
BMS value :
Lat = 28.358°
Long = 49.1408°
Tacview value :
Lat = 35.9809°
Long = 59.9733°Abs delta :
Lat = 7.6223°
Long = 10.8325°EDIT 2 :
By applying the Abs delta, I am near to the real position of the airbase. I need to modify again some value but it is in the area :-). -

Here she comes!
No, no, no way. In my language it sounds far better (no apologies this time): E GUARDA! ECCOLO LI’!
Great (Grandissimo!) Franco. Stunning birdie.
With best compliments and regards,

Hey,
I am still locking to integrate this Kuwait theater in Tacview but I have some trouble to understand where is the (my) mistake.
In the picture, here is the problem. If I inject the map in TacView, I use the set of coordinate provided by Mission Commander or here by SpbGoro (thanks again for that :D).
Injecting the picture can be realized in one file. and its seems good :-).If I inject some information (here i took the coordinate of Ar Ryadh airbase, from recon in BMS), and I create a Static Object a first delta appears because I am not on the drawed runway and totally on the right side of it.
Injecting Static Object seems to be directly on Earth and not from another coordinate reference.<type>Airport</type> <name>Ar Ryadh</name> <shortname>AR</shortname> <position><latitude>24°38'54.96"N</latitude> <longitude>47°9'31,2"E</longitude> <altitude>581.5584</altitude></position>
Now, I want to show my flight, on Kuwait map, I need to calibrate the acmi file to the Kuwait area. To do that I need to give to Tacview coordiante of the Theater. If I put the real one, I am out of the map… Wierd. After a recalculation, I am in the map but at another coordinate than 2 before…
I do not know if it’s the 2D Map is in trouble, or coordiantes problem.
I do not test other theater if the problem is the same (on Korea, I see no gps coordinates delta).Thanks a lot for help
EDIT : Little quick check :
Ar Ryadh is not present in Navaids for kuwait.pdf
In the same pdf, if I take Abu Ali : N27°19.382’ E49°37.978’
it is not the same in BMS => N27°18.337’ E50°06.656’
(Google Earth Pro for another check : N27°18’57.58" E49°35’17.48")
EDIT 2:
=> here is the delta
=> pdf & Google Earth seems to be more correct that BMS (FBMS4.35U1) -
hi. I have tried several times to download this theatre. but every time my download fails around 60% any clue?

I just checked, links that, Link to Google that Yandex disk - give you download without problems. I don’t know what country you are from. But, perhaps there are some local restrictions. Sorry.

First post links updated

I’m so glad for having contributed a very little for your nice project’s success, dear Goro.
Thanks a lot, and with best regards.
-
Nice job,comrade.
-
If that yours was addressed to me, dear Raedyz, thank you so much for your kind appreciation.
But that one wasn’t the last… another brand new mission is coming.
As it’s usual for this theater, AAR is mandatory, sharp eyes and quick reflexes… well, it’s up to you, those.Please see some shots about in the “Screenshots & Videos” forum, coming soon.
With best regards.

Gentlemen,
its time has come, and my second custom TE is ready.
After “Operation Telic II”, “Operation Backshield” is out.
Just after SpbGoro’s approval, as it’s due, it will be released too.
Enjoy in this while some shots taken from it, if you’re pleased with.
I will post them that usual Forum soon.With best regards.

Downloaded and installed on 4-17 and am really enjoying this. I have one issue that may be a graphic glitch. On the priorities PAKS page the map is all magenta colored. Is this fixable?
-
Does anyone else see it this way? Is a reinstall in order?
-
has nothing to do with your install, its a transparancy issue in pak-map image. MC can create a correct pak.tga
needs some other dev fixes too, seems like some art files are mixed up
