Can you share your mission .miz file here ?

In my testing, four parking slots 12, 15, 19, 21 are available for Civil Aircraft Mod airliners A320/A330/B737/B757/DC-10 as same as ED official E-3A and KC-135. When all of those four slots are already occupied by some other airplanes or vehicles / static objects , new Takeoff from ramp waypoint will be denied as "No free" --- jumped to Andoya's free slot. A bit smaller official airplanes Yak-40 and An-26B can be placed on one more slot 11 (but limited only five slots total in Bodo).

After the latest Syria module update with Damascus AI taxi route retouch, new problem might occur there sometimes deadlock. Current AI taxi routes for spawning and taking-off from slots 300s / 400s / 600s are here. These routes (and taxiway centerline paintings) maybe historical correct about years late 2019 - 2020 from satellite photos / Google Earth. But aircrafts want to go in counter directions each other ---- sometimes (not often, hard to reproduce) become deadlock , head-by-head. In the missions aircrafts spawning and engine starting timings are fixed , each aircrafts' taxi speed and timings are tuned by ATC-AI not to make deadlock though, lua script driven spawning / starting (especially MOOSE --- Random Air Traffic) are out of tuning. Taxi route retouch is needed for that situation to avoid deadlock. One plan to retouch --- Add a right turn for 401,403-409 and 605's routes ? Or add a left turn for 303-305 / 402 / 601-604's routes ? About the taxiway junction current version only the right turn near 601, other years look allowed left turn in historical , operation rules might be often changed with airport reconstruction / runway repairing. In looking into different years' Google Earth photos , historical operation maybe / might be --- 2021/09 - 2022/12 Left turn centerline paint and tire black marks. 2019/10 - 2020/11 NO Left turn centerline paint. 2018/4 - 2019/5 Left turn centerline paint (very thin) + centerline lights. 2017/9 NO Left turn centerline paint. 2017/5 Left turn centerline paint (very thin) + centerline lights. 2016/10 NO Left turn centerline paint. 2016/2 Left turn centerline paint (very thin). 2016/1 NO Left turn centerline paint. 2014/4 - 2014/11 NO Left turn centerline paint. 2013/1 - 2013/8 Left turn centerline paint (very thin).

IranAir, Mahan Air, Saha Airlines, Fars Air Qeshm, IRIAF and Iraq + Kuwait + Saudi Arabia airlines 747 skinpack is here --- https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3343194/

I've published a new skinpack here ! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3343194/ 2010s - 2020s' IranAir, Mahan Air, Saha Airlines, Fars Air Qeshm and IRIAF 747 liveries are composed. When you want to comment something about my works, pls continue here ---

Like ------ Wait two weeks to publish ! btw ... CAM's B747 model UV mapping on engine nacelles are ... almost impossible to paste Homa graphics. Their uv lines are undulated instead of straight, and cut/separated upper and lower parts on just the center of Homa position. (even their inner side uv are consecutive and straight, sigh)

When we'll get an announce about this project "Given-up" , we can try to make an original 3d model of B707 for DCS (it will need 1 or 2 years though).

I post a bug report about BM-21 in CA section.

Perhaps some past patch might change Russian MLRS BM-21 Grad's livery folder name internally, but install folder structure didn't follow the rename. In my research, current DCS World 2.9.12 .5336 defines BM-21 Grad's livery folder name as "grad-ural". Its full path should be /Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Bazar/Liveries/grad-ural/ . About current install folder structure, BM-21 Grad's path is /Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Bazar/Liveries/bm-21-40/ . Official four liveries' folders "autumn" , "spring" , "summer" , "winter" are under there with each description.lua files. In my testing of copying those four folders into "grad-ural" , season variety liveries are shown in DCS World as intended. Please match again between internal folder define and real structure.

Current BM-21 Grad's livery folder name is "grad-ural". (You can use capital letters as you like --- "Grad-Ural" in example.) The livery folder named "bm-21-40" under bazar/Liveries/ maybe abandoned old version wreckages. I'm not sure that when / in which update patch this folder rename was done. The patch of version 2.7.1 .7139 on 11/Jun./2021 (openbeta 2.7.1 .6430 on 20/May/2021) ? or more near ? description.lua and texture uv mapping is OK about yours. Only unit folder name trouble.

Updated to version 0.1.1 beta. User Files DL page is kept , see my 1st post. B767 -200 variant is added. Panel lines and wings' details are added.

I feel there are Two Moons in the sky of Kola map. No second sphere there in other maps like Caucasus on the same day and time. f16c_moon_check_kola_20250125.miz

Can someone show me this civilian Ural trucks by Mission Editor's Ground Object Arming screen capture ? I cannot find it there.

DCS core system implements ILS as transmitting signal waves only for the active runway on all maps. When ATC / Tbilisi Tower AI answers "Current Tbilisi runway 13" , ILS signal waves are transmitting only for runway 13. To activate runway 31 in missions, set their whether --- wind direction and speed blowing from 310 deg. to 130 deg. in 8 or 10 m/s at 0 meters high.

That family and modernized variant Hawker 800 . Earlier HS (BAe) 125 -400 will be tried after ....

New teaser --- I cannot say WHEN .

I'm satisfied ED's current (2.9.11) C-130 3d model. ModelViewer2.0 says its model has 83700 triangles count. This number is not few in comparing other official AI models KC-135 / IL-76md / An-26B / etc. (Besides latest Heavy Metal Core models ... ) RAZBAM's KC-130 model is 64326 triangles count. ED's KC-135 is 34980 triangles count. IL-76md = 92753. An-26B = 94013.

At first, the UNIT line maybe shown as Left click [+] button or right ">" icon, then right number will be increased 2, 3, 4, 5 ... like Left click left "<>" icon changes the target ship as "2 of 6" , "3 of 6" and we can edit each ships' types. Map's ship icon (DD / CC / FF / etc.) can be left drag to move the ship position in the formation , too. That category and type menu items sometimes buggy. "TYPE" box doesn't show collect current chosen ship type. Once left or right click on the map elsewhere to unselect the naval group, and again left click the naval group .... category and type menu item , TYPE box display will be recovered.
