Map a Rumor
Map a rumored site by tuning in to its A/N signal, following the steady course tone through the search area and landing by the white-flagged tyre at the true site.
Before the flight. Type -tyc rumors in DCS chat for the open rumors, or switch on the RADAR layer on the Live Map to see their cones. Note the rumor's anchor airfield, direction, frequency and modulation.
- Tune in: either set the exact frequency and modulation in SRS, or pick the rumor under Navigation > A/N Receiver in the radio menu.
- Start at the named anchor airfield and fly out in the broad direction given for the rumor.
- Listen in DCS audio for the A/N cue.
- When the two Morse patterns blend into a continuous, rhythm-free tone, hold that course line toward the site.
- If Morse A or N becomes distinct, turn gently until it blends back into the continuous tone.
- When the repeated Z overhead marker appears, descend and search visually.
- Land by the white-flagged tyre. It marks the true location.
Success. The tyre becomes friendly and the mapped site gains its normal Live Map details, radio-menu navigation and beacon. Mapping reveals the site but does not commission it.
If no signal is audible. Confirm that you are within the rumor's signal range and that SRS is connected with both tuning values matching exactly, or that the A/N Receiver is set to this rumor. Check that DCS audio is reaching the correct headset or speakers. Rumors can lapse, and higher-tier sites need the required regional Survey Station.
