NTO Polar Vortex V2

speaking of ILS, I made another approach chart: for Bardufoss. Tried a DME arc this time.
Just good enough to do the job until a pro like Nikos puts them out -
Thank you for your kind words mate.
Well after some scheduled works, beautiful Nordic theater is on my list.
So yes, you will have some more nav. charts for sure!

thanks man, I like tidy I use these charts as templates:
https://avinor.no/en/ais/military/milproc
https://avinor.no/globalassets/_microsite/ais-portal/mil/endu/en_ad_2_endu_304hitac28_en.pdfedited them with adobe acrobat. But that was becoming clunky so I finished it with paint.net or photoshop

Iād be more interested to know about Nikosā process. Like where does he get the bms elevations, exact positions of the navaids etc
He puts out entire volumesā¦ just look at the Nordic, ITO, and Balkans MAIP.
I imagine he has some kind of professional experience. -

- About elevations, get them into the F-16 cockpit with baro for altimeter.
- Exact position of NavAids (means their GPS coordinates) can get from the STPT 1 (steerpoint) when they are the default terminal ones. If there are enroute NavAids, you can use Mission Commander for their GPS coordinates.
- The rest data can be retrieved from the file āstations+ils.datā, means TACAN channel, its band and range, ATC frequencies and ILS frequencies.
- About Nav. volumes, there are also for nice POH theater and of course the āmonsterā Aegean stuff with Enroute charts also.
- Last about professional experience, yes. I was served here in Hellas (ex Greece) at the position of Radar Operator (military ATC) for 14 months. So a lot of real rules and stuff into my hands. This in coordination with the fact that Iām a civil engineer, makes me very strong to create this stuff.
My charts have been always created via the professional program Autodesk AutoCAD and are under scale, that makes them the best you can have!
As a note, I can tell you that it is inaccurate to get a real nav. chart and change some things (numbers/data) in order to think that you bring it close for use into Falcon BMS theaters.
The side of the NavAid in relation with the RWY, its distance from RWY threshold, the angle between the RWY centerline and the line that connects RWY threshold and NavAid are only a few things that should be exactly the same in order to can āeditā a real chart ;).
Even a variation of few degrees at the angle and you have a complete different inbound final radial.
The same counts for the GlideSlopes. In real life are not all the ILS procedures with a 3.0 deg. descent. In Falcon they are. That means that you have variations at the distance (DME) for the same altitudes!After all the previous, your ONLY way to have a āvalidā perfect/safe procedure is to create it from scratch.
Nikos.

With best regards,

How can I get this to run with WDP?
Everytime I try to open my campaign save with WDP it says that it belong to nordic theater and my falcon install is set to āNTP Polar Vortexā.
When I say yes to change to nordic and after manually pointing to nordic.idx and nordic.wch files I see the scheduled flights and select mine.
But in the back I get the Korea Map in WDP. So itās useless for flight planning.
-
WDP does the same for me, I load the save file as you do including pointing to the files .idx and .wch, select Nordic from the drop down list on the top left corner of the WDP window and go through the process of pointing to the files again. I select again the flight from the package using select different flight, at this point you should have the correct map displayed.
Cheers

Thanks,
Iāll give it a try.

hereās a mission we flew a couple weeks ago, the AI has been fragging wave after wave of OCA strikes against our airbases
theyāve got us on the ropes at the moment -
Hi Luke777, Are there documents for cockpit procedures of the JAS 39 Gripen?
-
I thought there was a file in the DOCS folder, canāt check that at the moment.
Cheers

There werent any under the DOCS folder, also searched the complete Theater folder for it but nothing
-
Iāll try to find out. Will get back to you.

@WurminatorAZ
JAS39 uses JAS37 cockpit from standard KTO, you can find the cockpit diagram in the KTO DOCS folder.

Thanks to Luke and Starrats for incorporating the Eurofighter Typhoon modifications into this latest v2.4 release of NTO PV.
The changes introduced for the aircraft are:
- EF2k_GE renamed to Eurofighter
- EF2k_UK renamed to Typhoon (FGR.4 in the TE planes list)
- New flight model with engine optimized fuel flow NOTE that the current fuel flow tables have no multiplier as values reflect combined flow of both engines (will need to be changed in a future release of the FM)
- Corrected weight and fuel load data (part of flight model)
- Modified control surfaces behaviour (deflection angles, symetric foreplane movements only, no flapsā¦)
- Modified AI behaviour for Eurofighter aircraft
- Corrected weapon loadouts reflecting P2Eb weapon load for German and P3Ea weapon load for British aircraft
- GBU-48/49 Enhanced Paveway II dual-mode bombs added (laser + INS/GPS guidance); GBU-49 substitutes Paveway IV of the real aircraft due to the lack a of suitable 3D model for the later
- GBU-48/49 bombs are modified copies of the GBU-12/16 Paveway II LGBs which they are based on
- Squadron Stores updated to make all weapons available in the campaign
- Max. 4 ARM limit for ATO, albeit ARM not available (provision only)
- Added 2 external tanks as standard loadout for ATO (all missions)
- Slightly altered AI weapon release altitudes and BVR engagement range
- Updated sensors (radar, IRST, RWR)
- Correct Chaff/Flare dispenser locations, vectors and quantity
- AVS options tailored to best match Typhoon (not all available options are of relevance to the aircraft)
- RAF skins for old 3D model used by UK version (Typhoon) representing 3rd and 11th Sqn A/C
- Typhoon cockpit folder with stock EF 3D pit added and correct wing model assigned
