Navigation. Weatherships, HF transmitters and LORAN system

[lightwriter 7]

Dear pilots!

After long negotiations with Dai 😜 I'm glad to present you the scenery of LORAN stations, HF transmitters and Weatherships (they are slighty different from PILOT'S weatherships). This scenery was written by me for my friends and for myself (of course 😄) because we like flying old piston driven aircrafts across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 

It is based on default NDBs and does not require any additional gauges. 

You can download the scenery here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/yk22hf0L7b-JOA

Manual, maps and description: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/MV9hfdG_Gu_bDw

 

Lets use old navigation instead of modern GPS, INS and VORs! Lets try to reach our destination airports waterports! ))

To draw the difference between the two: the weatherships supplied with the Clipper are pre-War Altantic only. lightwriter's package is post-War with LORANs. Pick a year and pick the nav package to go with it 😀 . Please note that because there was no co-operation in this, all weatherships have different frequencies. If you are using lighwriter's package, the best action will be to disable the PILOT'S weatherships (World | Scenery Library | PILOT'S B314 Virtual Weatherships).

Dai, radios in Clipper allow to enter a tenth of kHz. E.g 456,1 or 2 or 3 etc. Radios of DC-6 (PMDG) don't allow to enter it. Because of this i had to assign frequencies without tenth))

Your ships and my ships can be used together and there's no need to disable something in scenery menu of the sim)

Also some of our ships have different coordinates because they were moved from one position to another in 40s, 50s and 60s)

I can hardly imagine how to make a screenshot of NDB scenery) May be I can give you some maps of this scenery?

Ok, now its a little clear for me. I was thinking about "scenery" as objects (so here was a reason why I asking). Now its clear 🙂 Nice job (and maps also for flight planning)! Id like to back to the Clipper :).

Here is version 1.1) Next version will have objects (ship models for weatherships and antennas for HF and LORANs)
