How do you find landmarks or places?

Hey all,

Besides Google Earth, how does one find landmarks or places like Rayen Citadel, Bam City, Persepolis on the DCS Map? Is there anywhere in game grid coords are listed for these locations?

If there is an easier way I would like to know, too.

I spent quite some time yesterday finding co-ordinates for those places, putting Gazelles at those co-ords in the ME and then flying around to find the new sites.

 

It works, but... joy of the hunt, maybe :music_whistling:

Hey Gaz, nope, not listed in the game. Google Earth / available maps for location and then back to ME.

Hey amigo!

Ok, for anyone interested and after a few cuppas I found these new additions to the PG Map..

Bam City sits Nth East of Jiroft Airport at 29 6 10 N 58 20 9 E Grids FT21 FT22 FT31 & FT32

Rayen Citadel, the city is about 53 NM Nth West from Jiroft Airport on your way to Kerman Airport and is in Grid ET47 and the Citadel is approx at 29 35 36 N 59 26 15 E

Lastly the ancient ruins of Persepolis.. are located by what it seems to be 1 road heading Nth East 5 NM from the City of Marvdasht, the ruins are at 29 56 24 N 52 53 24 E and in Grid XP81

 

Hope it helps, cheers G

Oh yeah, it helped. Thanks!

Here is a mission file to make it easy to see these new locations.

The default aircraft is a Huey, but feel free to edit the file to suit your needs.

Re MAP

 

Thank you very much Gaz. I have limited flight time tonight but wanted to check these spots out. You saved me precious time!

 

No problemo, hey I forgot to mention that those co ords and Grid numbers are all from in game ME Map not Google Earth or any other source, just saying

This you meant 57 26 15 E.

 

I do the same thing … always have to stop and ask "which side of the prime meridian?:)
