I wish to play with the airport resource settings in the ME. but I came across some basic questions that I don't know the answer to regarding the amount of fuel a large or small airfield should have, or the amount of missiles, iron bombs/rockets and then smart munitions a squadron should have..

 

1) How much fuel should a basic military airfield have? the default is 100 tons.

 

2)how many planes should be available per airfield? per squadron?

 

3) how many munitions should be available??? I guess rockets and iron bombs are more plentiful??? Guided missiles/bombs and advanced A2A less??? the game defaults to 100 per item

 

4)how many civilian planes per airfield? yak-40s and an-26s?

 

5)how many logistic AC? C-130s and C-17s????

 

 

I understand real world data may not work out...but on a semi-realistic lvl, how many resources should be available (mainly fuel tons and missiles/bomb counts)????

It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.

bump...how much fuel is realistic???

Hi there, I actually had the same questions as you, and after stumbling upon this, I decided to spend an hour or so on google, which wasn't all that fruitful...

 

What I did find is something I hope you (and others) might find useful:

 

1. On fuel:

I didn't find anything specific, but there are aviation fuel storage tanks available up to 100.000 litres (Which is about 100 tons if I'm not mistaken...)

source: http://airfuelsystems.com/refuelling-solutions/aviation-fuel-storage/

 

2.A NATO-squadron usually consists of anywhere between 10-24 aircraft, but smaller or larger numbers are also possible (source: wikipedia). An airbase can house multiple squadrons.

 

3. On Ammo:

About the only thing I could find on this was this article (interesting read btw..)

http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/milarticles/blafnavy.htm

but that doesnt't really answer our questions.

 

4. On civ planes:

The number of civilian airplanes depends on the size of the airfield.

Usually I use the following site for my civ. airtraffic. It has info on almost all airfields used in DCS, and it should give you some idea of the number of aircraft.

http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByAirport.do?airportCode=TBS&airportQueryType=1

 

 

5. I have no clue.

 

 

Whew, that turned out a bit longer then expected. I hope this is in any way useful, eventhough it doesn't really answer our questions all that much...

 

Perhaps some of the RL miitary people here can provide us with some more info?

Soviet / Russian IADS / ADF Information

 

Whilst in the process of researching Soviet & later Russian IADS doctrine & SAM site layout I came across a huge amount of incredibly detailed information in the articles hosted on the Air Power Australia web site:

 

http://www.ausairpower.net/index.html

 

The site appears to have very detailed information on some surprisingly recent systems in addition to some of the legacy systems that appear in DCS.

 

Very, very much well worth reading.

Great Link/URL.

I agree .. it appears to have tons of relevant information.

Thanks for sharing.

Can somebody answer this for me? In BMS flights get randomly assigned mission call signs, Lobo 1, Cowboy 3, etc. Is that how combat ATO's work in real life? Random name generation, or is it more static? Ie most f15e flights get Dude and a number l, f18c Hornet and a number etc...

 

I am building multiplayer missions for our group. And can't seem to find an answer online.

 

Thanks,

There shouldn't be too much online. A real proper explanation of callsign usage would be big-time classified information and it would/should land you in jail (unless you are running for public office, then it's fine).

 

Sure there are some everyday unit callsigns that are out there and they are used, but in a real no-kidding tactical environment, I think you can expect those to be changed - particularly if there was an organized adversary out there that might be listening. BTW, our forces practice this (did it myself).

 

Perhaps some RL pilots that flew in the sandbox will chime in here.

One things I've noticed from listening to comms recorded during Desert Storm and/or Kosovo, certain missions have callsigns that are related...

 

For example, the strikers might all have a dog related callsign, like ROVER, BENJI, LOBO.

Fighters might be car related callsigns, like FORD, VEGA, CHEVY, DODGE.

Finally found out via some RW friends. Basically it's the op creators preference, or random word generation.

 

11 years with the DoD and I've never seen a classification marking specifically on a call-sign so I don't that that was the reason. :)

 

Thanks for the responses guys.

Is there some kind of document or list that shows which aircraft / helicopter uses which type of fuel? In the warehose you can restrict different fuel types.

 

typically...

 

tanks and trucks would use diesel

WW2 fighters would use 100-150 octane benzine

and all airplanes and helicopters with jet engines use Jet A / Jet A-1 / JP-4 / JP-5 / JP-8 kerosene

 

hope this helps

More or less.. I have a russian FARP that Blue can take over. While under russian control Ka-50 and Mi-28 are stationed there. The question is, should Mi-8 (probably yes) or UH-1H and Gazelles be able to refuel there, or do these use an other type of fuel?

You have two call sign tracks the individual’s call sign which is given upon completion of training and/or at their duty station. Usually based on something about the individual.

 

And you have the flight callsign which is assigned to a unit they have several some reserved for the top echelon others that are daily call signs based on the mission aa,ag etc these usually get assigned to an aircrew but not always.

 

Personal call signs to many to name probably the same for the flight call signs since it must be unique to one crew per day in case of an accident there would be no problems of the wrong flight being identified as going down some are training use some are reel world use some are for transport flights some are for cross country flights so you could probably pull any noun of the dictionary and find it in use as flight call sign as long as it is distinct sounding over the air and consisting of one or two syllable sounds.

Not to Necro the thread, but are there any good manuals for strike missions? I.e. go blow up a bridge/building/whater in enemy defended territory.

Hey guys, looking for some good templates for relatively generic kneeboard mission data cards. I'm primarily interested in a two-card format. Page one being unit/ flight plan data, and page two being for the comm plan.

 

Anyone have or know of some good resources on this? Thanks!

For curiosity and for references I have compiled the historical locations of all PVO (Air Defense Force) SAM sites at the end of the Cold War in the DCS Caucasus map area into a template. The majority of SAMs are still SA-2 which are not (yet) in DCS. I have substituted them with SA-3, so area coverage is a bit smaller. Total sites deployed in the region include: 25 SA-2, 12 SA-3 and 2 SA-10. In addition there were two SA-5 groups (each with two collocated Battalions), which I didn't include due to the lack of a suitable substitute.

 

Source: http://www.ww2.dk

 

 

From the same source I have also compiled the combat aviation units stationed in the region in the 1980s:

 

PVO Air Defense Forces

 

Krymsk

562 IAP - Yak-28P (-1987), Su-27 (1987-)

 

Gudauta

529 IAP - Su-15TM (-1987), Su-27 (1987-)

 

Marneuli

166 GvIAP - Su-15 (-1983), Su-15TM (1989-)

 

 

VVS Frontal Aviation

 

Senaki-Kolkhi

176 IAP - MiG-23M (-1985), MiG-29 (1985-)

 

Kobuleti

841 GvIAP/GvAPIB - MiG-23M

 

Kutaisi

143 BAP - Su-24M

 

Vaziani

982 IAP - MiG-23MLD

313 ORAP - MiG-21R (-1984), Su-17M3R (1984-)

 

Marneuli

166 GvAPIB - Su-17M3 (1983-1988 )

 

Maykop

709 UAP - MiG-21

 

Krasnodar Center

802 UAP - Su-22, Su-24, Su-25, Mi-8

 

 

DA Long Range Aviation

 

Mozdok

182 GvTBAP - Tu-95

 

 

Perhaps you can find it useful for mission building or just find it interesting from a historical point of view.

Wikimapia is an internet company that provides an open-content collaborative mapping project. The project implements an interactive "clickable" web map that utilizes google maps with a geographically-referenced wiki system, with the aim to mark and describe all geographical objects in the world.

 

I use it for showing military installations in Persian Gulf, Syria and Caucasus.

http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=26.941660&lon=56.315918&z=8&m=w&tag=516

Contains a lot of useless info (marks), but equally a lot of useful ones. Just have to sift trough'em.
