DCS Reference: Radio and Navigation Systems

These tables list the radio and navigation capabilities of the various aircraft in DCS.

• “Auto-populated” means that the aircraft module populates the map with this kind of system, rather than having the system built into the terrain itself.
• “Auto-assigned” means that the aircraft module assigns channels and frequencies to various presets rather than giving the player or mission-creator control over the assignments.
• “Fixed” means that channel and frequency assignments are hard-coded into the system and cannot be changed — usually the specific frequencies are listed in the module manual.
