The map is not yet complete. Is a far way of be a real aeronautic map,
because the angles between meridians and paralels aren't perpendicular,
so you can not check angles over the map. The main idea is to put
all information necesary to do an ADF navigating. I think in the
way i put more info you can use to do some basic VFR. Scale is 1:2,000,000.
this is not fixed and depends on the zoom factor you use, but if you do
a paper print in the way that the square inch in map is a square inch in
the prited version, you got a 1:2,000,000 scale map. So one millimeter
is 2 kilometers, one inch is 31.75 miles or 27.46 nautic miles.
CFS is a real flight simulator, based in FS98. In WW II there was a lack
of GPS, VOR, ILS and others radio facilities. But they got the ADF (Automatic
Direction Finder). ADF is a radio with a needle that points to a radio
station. Those radio statios are caled NBD (Non Directional Beam). Range
of NBD depends on emision power and send in morse code a call Id.
You
will find all that info in the map. The game don't have ADF instrument
or NDB stations, but you can install. You need the ADF instrument, the
NBD stations and the NBD update. You will find all in the RAF662
download page.
Check the frecuency and follow the needle. Simple. Really, you must
pay attention to some important details. If you follow the needle you are
"Homing", and that is dangerous and inefective if there is wind when you
fly. My english not permit to explain much, but here you have some links
with exelent information. You can find how to use ADF like a VOR and much
more.
