Isn't is about perception? Chair pilots who make probably 90+% of the DCS users want to feel like they were the real pilots in a real aircraft so using keyboard is not even comparable to using joystick (or yoke depending on real life counterpart) to achieve that perception. If you want to know the numbers, then yes, keyboard is much easier for sure.

Businessman will do things the way that are making business making profits regardless of what customers want, IF what users want makes the business more profitable. And something simple and easy to do is subjective. And from developer standpoint, they will do whatever is more important to realism of the simulation which using keyboard is definitely not a contributing factor.

Realism to me means flying like I was flying real aircraft, with yoke or joystick, good flight model, realistic systems and good 3D model. That is realistic to me. Using keyboard, hey, personal preference.

Ok so how often I need to turn it off and back on to have reliable reading and what is the error?

I could do update other ways but I think Updater is the simplest and works for me so ...I did. Thank you again to all!!!

Used updater and it worked perfect. Thank you again!

Thanks, I will do that but if I do not, beta will never update to latest patch automatically?

Is there any specific time period after it will pick up new patch? I did today and it is still old one.

Where do I get the beta patch. I just started DCS and it did not seem it updated anything. My version 2.7.16.28157

Thank you very much. I guess I will just need to remember to turn it off and back on. IF it happens again.

The weirdest part is that after I did second flight, it was showing right distance. The only "proof" it happened are the screenshots above. What could I possibly do wrong, it just bugs me.

Hello, Newbie here so please be gentle. I set TACAN for Kobuleti 67X , TCN is ON and Boxed on HSI but the distance from it shows way too far, I am very close to airport, see attached screenshots. I started the flight as Instant Action, "Hornet Ready on the Ramp" Please help me determine what I do wrong. Thank you!

Thank you, Gentlemen.

Where I can find DCS country codes? Thanks!

@silverdevil : yes, I am pretty set in that apartment by now. Thanks for your help. The things I sometimes fine tune is the dead zones, still experimenting a bit. @Bob1943: They have wireless but only on eBay, Google it. I am just waiting for mine to be delivered. @Hiob: same here, after I fly a bit I recenter. Dogfighting, not for me yet, need a lot of learning but that is FUN!
