Kneemap POH 0.7.0
-
@Red:
there is zero difference between vortacs and tacans in falcon
the code support only tacans - personnaly i consider a bms tacan anything from tacan to vortacs to vordmes
the reason i called some stations vortacs is to differenciate them from airbase collocated tacans which are the only navaids possible up to 4.32
past 4.32 we’ll have non collocated navaids possible and i decided to call those vortacs, that’s why i made the difference for them in my korea and emf and ito work.
therefore, the difference betweeen a vortac and a tacan - in falcon - is purely semanticAll the previous are correct and i also know them.
I just suggest to Joe to use in POH kneemap both TACAN and VORTAC signs as a nice reference to the kind of them from real world.
It needed no more time ;).

Nikos.Indeed. Like RedDog we will make this differentiation between TACAN and VORTAC our Kneemap (although for the purposes of Falcon BMS are the same thing) in the search for more immersion and realism.

As I can find the position of the TACAN station with respect to the airbase?

Joe my friend, GREAT work there. Bravo!
Now one remark: If you want use an other one color for the sign of TACAN (and of course VORTAC) and for the data of NavAids/UHF-VHF/ILS in order to can be easily readed.
In order to can see the exact location of the TACAN station of each one airport, simply when you create a T.E. mission from an airport, then just take a look at the position of the STPT 1 (steerpoint 1) when you are inside cockpit. It is always the exact position of the TACAN station for all airports (not airstrips!).
I hope to help ;).

Hello Joe, this is how it looks like in Jeppesen’s VFR sectionals.
187 is elevation in feet, 2459m is longest runway length. TWR is tower frequency. They only publish the VHF one here, but I think if you did like: TWR 118.100 249.0 it would be clear enough which one’s which. Also I think the ILS frequency isn’t needed here, it’s cluttering the chart and you really shouldn’t be looking for it there anyway, but rather in the approach chart.

Hey Joe,
This looks very nice. Great work mate.

I’m still doing tests. The purpose is that the data reading clearer.
TACAN and VORTAC icon thinner. See legend
Looking example of Gibraltar
Normal text (no bold)
Text and icons in black.
Text with white borderPlease reviews. Thank you.

Nice Joe. I like it and find it good readable.
Now my remark is to replace the word “Tower:” with this one “TWR:” in order to gain some space especially at places that we have a lot of airports near.
Also at airports that we have both UHF and VHF frequencies and you have no room to add both of them, prefer to add the UHF one.
Thank you once again for your efforts!
By the way the fix is right for me. That means that you already released my hands and i can be on works again :p.
Nikos.PS. At the Legend, replace the words “Vortac” and “Tacan” with capitals, means with “VORTAC” and “TACAN” ;).

Not sure about the white cloud behind it. Have you tried white with purple stroke? Or the reverse, purple with white contour. It doesn’t need to be to wide, just 1 or 2 pixels of stroke wide, just enough to separate it from the background. Also, design student tip, avoid pure colors, try washed off shades of colors, they aren’t so aggressive on the sight. Besides that, all of the above said by ney

Agree.
Basically I would say just do the same as real ONC charts… nothing more nothing less
Anyway, good work! -
The lines of zones: is purple
I will use dark blue for airports (such as ONC Charts) … so it is less aggressive than pure black and differs as another color.
Softened white shading.
Change uppercase text. -

@ Nicos
hit it hard and get it done
looking forward to a big theater with all the stuff working - Nav Aids - Charts and so on@ Joe
Great work, wonderfull map - outstanding theater with a lot of airspace to fly around.
Thanks to you, and all the people who are working on itCopy that. I’m “active” again ;).

Thanks to you, and all the people who are working on itHey brother Reinhard, nice to see you.
Well thanks for your kindly words as also for your suggestions.
WE are on it, have faith… :p.
Great stuff is on the way, i can say only this for now.
After “working” like always NavAids it will follow a TACAN approach to Gibraltar as the first IAP chart. If i remember good, you LOVE TACAN approaches ;).

GREAT work my friend Joe. BRAVO :p**!**

To all the Devs from the POH
maybe this question was ask before - if so: " sorry for double posting :-)"
Question:
Are you planing on setting up Target/Fire Ranges in the POH as we have it in other Theaters ?
In such a big theater, I guess 4 or even 6 would be nice to have.
Maybe at:
Fuerteventura - GCD3
Western Sahara - GMD 23
Algeria - DAD 50F
Valladolid - LED 14
NW of Barcelona - LED 45
thx for keeping up the work on such a big theater
