This wiki is still work in progress !!!'''</span></big> == Welcome == Welcome to the [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] documentation wiki. You will (hopefully) find all necessary information about how to use MissionPlot and in-depth information about the feature is provides. == About MissionPlot == For many years CombatFlite has been the software for the DCS community and was also intensively used in the [http://www.132virtualwing.org 132nd Virtual Wing]. While the amount of features it provides is not matched by any other software available, it is/was not possible to buy a license by new members (anymore). Because of that fact, development of MissionPlot started based on a fuel planning software already available for the DCS F-16 and the DCS F/A-18C. Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building. === Features === [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites: * Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources: ** Google Maps, Satellite, Terrain and Hybrid ** OpenStreetMap ** OpenTopoMap ** Custom MBTiles can be added (we highly recommend [https://www.patreon.com/cw/graveyard4DCS Graveyard of Empires] for high detail DCS maps fully compatible with [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot]) ** Custom PMTiles * Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles. * Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database. * Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps ** Afghanistan ** Caucasus ** Cold War Germany ** Iraq ** Kola ** Nevada ** Persian Gulf ** Sinai ** South Atlantic ** Syria ** more to be added * Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude * Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude * Detailed flight & trajectory planning: ** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks ** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint ** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure ** Aircraft loadout selection ** Automatic fuel calculation (currently available for the DCS F-14 A/B, F-16C, F/A-18C, C-130J Hercules, Mirage 2000C) depending on aircraft loadout and weight based on flight progress. Air-to-air refueling can be included. ** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination ** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg ** Turn geometry calculation: Specify bank angle and/or g load and [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] will calculate the corresponding ground track and include it in flight planning for more precise results. Capture legs are available. ** Fuel ladder calculation * Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight * Flight vertical profile overview * Line of sight computation * Weapon delivery planner * Satellite ISR feature for real-time damage assessment or simulation of satellite reconnaissance in DCS: Connect [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] with your DCS session session and take satellite-like pictures from DCS by simple clicks on [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot]s map. * Import from ** [[Import:CombatFlite|CombatFlite]] * Export to ** [[Export:Tacview|Tacview]] ** [[Export:MdcBuilder|MDC builder]] ** [[Export:DcsDtc|DCS-DTC]] ** [[Export:NativeDcsDtc|Native DCS DTC]] (currently experimental and for the F/A-18C only; depending its development progress) ** [[Export:C130J|C-130J FMS]] * Online update == Download == [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is available via the [https://www.missionlplt.com MissionPlot website]. == Documentation == The description of how to set up and use MissionPlot is available here. * [[Setup:Deployment|Deployment process]] ** [[Setup:DeploymentInstallation|Installation]] *** [[Setup:DeploymentInstallationRegistration|Account registration]] ** [[Setup:DeploymentUpdate|Update]] ** [[Setup:DeploymentUninstallation|Uninstallation]] * Windows ** [[Windows:Main|Main window]] *** [[Windows:MissionSettings|Mission settings]] *** [[Windows:RadioPresets|Radio presets]] *** [[Windows:Flightplan|Flightplan]] *** [[Windows:Loadout|Loadout]] *** [[Windows:FuelLadder|Fuel ladder]] *** [[Windows:VerticalProfile|Vertical profile]] ** [[Windows:Databases|Databases]] *** [[Windows:AirportsUpdate|Airports update]] *** [[Windows:TerrainData|Terrain data]] ** [[Windows:Tools|Tools]] *** [[Windows:QuickReferenceData|Quick reference data]] *** [[Windows:DcsIsr|DCS Satellite ISR]] *** [[Windows:LineOfSightCalculator|Line of sight calculator]] *** [[Windows:WeaponDeliveryPlanner|Weapon delivery planner]] *** [[Windows:Options|Options]] ** [[Windows:OnlineUpdate|Online update]] ** [[Windows:License|License management]] ** [[Windows:About|About TacTraq window]] == How To == * [[HowTo:FlightPlanning|Flight planning]] == Changelog == MissionPlot is constantly improved with a rate of about one major update per month.
