<div>Since MissionPlot is constantly improved, bugs may be present that are caused by recent changes are present in the software for a longer time already. This page contains a list of any (important) known issues and it's status.<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.8.x: Overlapping shapes selection text sometimes generic =<br />
For reasons currently under investigation, in some cases, when clicking an area with overlapping shapes on the map, the shown context menu does not display the names of the shapes but the generic object class name.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
Not known<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Under investigation<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.8.x: Native DCS DTC export for Viper exports threat point altitude in feet =<br />
The native DCS DTC export feature for the Viper exports threat point altitudes in feet instead of meters. DCS then considers that value as 'meters' and converts it into feet again resulting in unrealistic high values.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
No practicable workaround available. Values could be manually changed in the .dtc file though.<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Fixed in V1.9.0<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.8.x: Native DCS DTC export for Viper exports IP and target waypoints as regular steerpoints =<br />
The native DCS DTC export feature for the Viper enables exporting IP and target waypoints as such but MissionPlot always exports them as regular steerpoints.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
No practicable workaround available. The nav point type could be changed manually in the .dtc file though.<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Fixed in V1.9.0<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.7.x: License displayed as 'Expired' although it has been extended =<br />
When starting MissionPlot, a "Your license has expired and needs to be renewed" message is displayed although your license is valid and not expired.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
* Close MissionPlot if open<br />
* Go to %PROGRAMDATA%\MissionPlot<br />
* Delete 'License.lic'<br />
* Restart MissionPlot<br />
* Login with your MissionPlot account details and your license key<br />

<div>Since MissionPlot is constantly improved, bugs may be present that are caused by recent changes are present in the software for a longer time already. This page contains a list of any (important) known issues and it's status.<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.8.x: Native DCS DTC export for Viper exports threat point altitude in feet =<br />
The native DCS DTC export feature for the Viper exports threat point altitudes in feet instead of meters. DCS then considers that value as 'meters' and converts it into feet again resulting in unrealistic high values.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
No practicable workaround available. Values could be manually changed in the .dtc file though.<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Fixed in V1.9.0<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.8.x: Native DCS DTC export for Viper exports IP and target waypoints as regular steerpoints =<br />
The native DCS DTC export feature for the Viper enables exporting IP and target waypoints as such but MissionPlot always exports them as regular steerpoints.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
No practicable workaround available. The nav point type could be changed manually in the .dtc file though.<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Fixed in V1.9.0<br />
<br />
<br />
= V1.7.x: License displayed as 'Expired' although it has been extended =<br />
When starting MissionPlot, a "Your license has expired and needs to be renewed" message is displayed although your license is valid and not expired.<br />
<br />
== Workaround ==<br />
* Close MissionPlot if open<br />
* Go to %PROGRAMDATA%\MissionPlot<br />
* Delete 'License.lic'<br />
* Restart MissionPlot<br />

<br />
== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** OpenAIP<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />

** more to be added<br />
* Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude<br />
* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** Automatic fuel calculation (currently available for the DCS F-4E, 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />
* Weapon delivery planner<br />

== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** OpenAIP<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />
** Cold War Germany<br />
** Iraq<br />
** Kola<br />
** Marianas<br />
** Nevada<br />
** Persian Gulf<br />
** Sinai<br />
** South Atlantic<br />
** Syria<br />
** more to be added<br />
* Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude<br />
* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** Automatic fuel calculation (currently available for the DCS F-4E, 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />
* Weapon delivery planner<br />
* 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.<br />

== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** OpenAIP<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />
** Cold War Germany<br />
** Iraq<br />
** Kola<br />
** Nevada<br />
** Persian Gulf<br />
** Sinai<br />
** South Atlantic<br />
** Syria<br />
** more to be added<br />
* Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude<br />
* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** Automatic fuel calculation (currently available for the DCS F-4E, 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />
* Weapon delivery planner<br />
* 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.<br />

<br />
== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** OpenAIP<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />
** Cold War Germany<br />
** Iraq<br />
** Kola<br />
** Nevada<br />

* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />
* Weapon delivery planner<br />
* 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.<br />

== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** Google Maps, Satellite, Terrain and Hybrid<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />

* Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude<br />
* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />

== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** Google Maps, Satellite, Terrain and Hybrid<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Afghanistan<br />
** Caucasus<br />
** Cold War Germany<br />
** Iraq<br />
** Kola<br />

* Magnetic variation database and calculation based on location, date/time and altitude<br />
* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />

<br />
This changelog contains all changes from the first public release in March 2026 with version v1.5.1 (prior versions were only released to the [http://www.132virtualwing.org 132nd Virtual Wing]).<br />
<br />
= V1.5.1 (released 2026-03-31) =<br />
* TacTraq was renamed to MissionPlot<br />
* Addition of the F-14A<br />
* Addition of the M-2000C<br />
* Added: Terrain data for Caucasus map<br />
* Added: Terrain data for Persian Gulf map<br />
* Added: Terrain data for Syria map<br />
* Added: Dashed line shape for alternate legs<br />
* Added: Lbs per NM indication and altitude and speeds for max endurance and max range on quick reference data window<br />
* Added: Planning for empty external fuel tanks<br />
* Added: Options setting for turn geometry<br />
* Added: Check if TacTraq/MissionPlot is executed with elevated/administrator privileges. TacTraq/MissionPlot does not require administrator privileges and running it with those privileges can cause problems when it is ran without those privileges afterwards.<br />
* Added: Optional maximum elevation calculation for circles and polygons<br />
* Added: Open recent mission file option<br />
* Added: Toolbar icon for adding a flight<br />

<br />
== Welcome ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== About MissionPlot ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Unlike CombatFlite, [https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is a pure flight planning software and not primarily intended for mission building.<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
[https://www.missionplot.com MissionPlot] is constantly improved and new features added. Right now, it offers the following capabilites:<br />
<br />
* Map-centered flight and mission planning using various map sources:<br />
** Google Maps, Satellite, Terrain and Hybrid<br />
** OpenStreetMap<br />
** OpenTopoMap<br />
** 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])<br />
** Custom PMTiles<br />
* Drawing of shapes like AORs, circles, corridors, lines, polygons racetrack patterns and reference points directly on the map and specify colors and line styles.<br />
* Airports database derived from DCS. Custom database management planned for manual management/modification of the database.<br />
* Precise terrain data packs available for extra download directly within the application currently for DCS maps<br />
** Caucasus<br />

* Sunrise and sunset calculation based on location, date and altitude<br />
* Detailed flight & trajectory planning:<br />
** Waypoints placed by simple mouse clicks<br />
** Specification of altitude and speeds for each waypoint<br />
** Time calculations, including time on target, taking into account wind, temperature and air pressure<br />
** Aircraft loadout selection<br />
** 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.<br />
** Automatic critical fuel scenario calculation (various scenarios) for easy bingo fuel determination<br />
** Automatic minimum obstacle clearance altitude calculation for each leg<br />
** 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.<br />
** Fuel ladder calculation<br />
* Fuel quick reference data for easy-to-remember numbers for rough fuel estimation inflight<br />
* Flight vertical profile overview<br />
* Line of sight computation<br />
