Where can I find the theater boundaries
-
Hi,
In which theater file can i find the definition for the theater boundaries, north, east, west & south ? -
As far as I know, there is only a center, defined in weather.ini.

thank,
Do you know how to convert the DB X/Y to BBM lat/long? -
#define FT_PER_DEGREE 365221.8846f #define RTD 57.2957795f //Radians to Degrees #define DTR 0.01745329f //Degrees to Radians #define EARTH_RADIUS_FEET 20925700f //The Latitude and Longitude of the SW corner of the theater //in Degrees. Stored in MAP theater file. //These values are correct for Korean Theater. float StartCoord_Lat = 33.84375; float StartCoord_Long = 123; float ownship_North = 0; //Your input value in feet float ownship_East = 0; //Your input value in feet float cosLat = 0; //Temporary var float outCoordLat = 0; //Output Latitude float outCoordLong = 0; //Output Longitude //Latitude in Radians outCoordLat = ( StartCoord_Lat * FT_PER_DEGREE + ownship_North ) / EARTH_RADIUS_FEET //Cosine of Latitude cosLat = cos( outCoordLat ) //Longitude in Radians outCoordLong = ( ( StartCoord_Long * DTR * EARTH_RADIUS_FEET * cosLat ) + ownship_East ) / ( EARTH_RADIUS_FEET * cosLat ) //Converting to Degrees outCoordLat = outCoordLat * RTD outCoordLong = outCoordLong * RTD
So for converting X/Y into Lat long you still need the Theatre boundaries.
You can get the boundaries for example this the Terrain Editor tool.Next to notice. BMS can only handle coordinates in the N-E quadrant of lat long.
So i.e if you look at a theater like Panama you will find that the theater boundaries are the same as Balkans.
In game you won’t even be able to input a South or West Coordinate from the ICP

read the last 2 sets of 4 bytes of the .map which converted to double give you bas lon lat of the lower left coner of the theater in the theater.map
Just to mention again those coordinates might not match to real world coordinates at all as there are thaters that have been build upon the base of another theater by just creating new tiles but not creating terrain from the scratch -
Thanks,
I also found this in another thread:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stra Software\Tacview\Data\Xml\Data-Falcon4Theaters.xmlHow do you convert ownship X/Y to ownship_North/East if feet?

withe the formula I posted above
