Welcome to DCS-Map

The development of DCS-Map has two reasons. Reason number one is that I am on my way to learn some web development. And how could you do this better than with a nice and real project? With DCS-Map I beginn with the basics of HTML, CSS and PHP and go further into JavaScript/Ajax over the time.
Reason number two is that I just would like a browser "all in one" Data collection for my own flights. So why not just host it for others at well? Thats why I started DCS-Map as a public service. So for the record: This is not going to be only an interactive online map - it will be a data collection for (hopefully) every information one could need while playing DCS World.

"But ... it is really ugly and not very professional

Maybe thats because ... I am just learning this stuff :-). If you have tipps or feedback for me - please contribute them in the issues or on the Forum at Digital Combat Simulator.

"Digital Combat what? What is this even about?"

DCS is a flight simulation by Eagle Dynamics.
It simulates a combat enviroment very well and gives the players a feature rich mission editor for own scenarios which they then can share on the DCS File Service.

"Why use a web hosted tool? Why not an application?"

A web hosted solution works for everyone with an internet connection. With an application for iOS, Android, Windows or Linux you would have many ports. I like it this way :)

Open Source - open for everyone

Since this is mostly a learning project for myself, I will open this for everyone - Open Source. Feel free to edit something contribute to the community. Everyone can see what is happening on the background and if I stop hosting this on DCS-Map.com, someone else can carry on.

If your contribute ..

If you contribute with your own code - please add explaining comments to it.

Feature Ideas:

• Virtual Kneeboard
  • User Accounts
  • Checklists and Custom Checklists (user Accounts). Maybe even people could contribute and make their own Checklists and share them with other players on DCS-Map.com - these will have the option to vote for them (same with the guides in Dota 2 (game))
  • Big Red Button which will show emergency procedures on click
• Data for all airports
• Airport Charts
• Frequencies
• Online Map like google Maps (but with DCS Maps from ingame)
• Option to set Waypoints and draw on it
• Maybe a Client which loads the DCS Log Files to the user Account and shows its virtual position on the map? Maybe even to selected other DCS-Map Users?
