Updated: all .xml files for CombatFlite
Hello,
Just a quick update to share the most recent .xml files for CombatFlite.
You are now well aware how to use them, if not, don't hesitate to look in past posts here how to modify the original .xml data base to include all theaters and new airports.
The major changes are:
New airfields added (Kola, etc...)
Normandy 2.0, Marianas and Marianas WWII are now updated as well
Updated theater.xml swap file (Afghanistan in 41S instead of 42S, centimetric precision fix...)
All beacons, DCS airfield ID, etc... are now correct
All default DCS airfield frequencies are now correct
And for thoses who want to go and check the files: a cleaner .xml file structure with comments for better readability
On my to-do list, a rework of theaters pairing: Syria and Iraq share common airfields, and Marianas / Marianas WWII as well. So I'll pair Syria and Marianas WWII on the one side, and Marianas and Iraq on the other side. This way, we'll support all current theaters... until Balkans are released.
CombatFlite remains a great tool, and a perfect first approach to flight planning. However, it desperately shows its age, and the lack of significant updates make it hard to maintain to DCS current status. Don't hesitate to check other tools like MissionPlot or SDK if you feel that you've reached your limits with CombatFlite.
See you in September for more content!
