Source: dcs-world-schema reference data: MarianaIslandsWWII airbases, beacons and navaids, dcs-world-schema, open-source data extracted by running DCS World 2.9.30.28536 (extracted 2026-10-04), at commit c3091e6. Runway headings are magnetic, as the game computes them; lengths and elevations are converted from metres. The game gives TACAN and DME channels no X or Y band. Where a beacon’s listed frequency is the reply or paired VHF frequency of one band (ICAO Annex 10 channel plan), that band is shown. * marks an assumed X: the game lists no frequency that settles it, and every ground TACAN whose frequency does settle it is X. A dash means the game gives none.

Coverage
The 1944 map freezes the islands days before the first US landings of Operation Forager, rebuilt from wartime reconnaissance mosaics and engineering plans so that bombardments, landings and carrier strikes can be placed where they happened. [1] It has no post-war structures, and its period airfields, including Aslito, Ushi Point and Orote and satellite strips, have wooden revetments, sandbagged searchlights and minimal radio aids, so navigation is by compass and coastal landmarks. [1] The map is free and complements the modern Marianas map. [1]
