I am also eager to have usable direction finding navigation in the MiG-21bis throughout all the DCS maps. It would also be nice to have a unified downloadable PDF for documentation which makes clear all needed in-cockpit configuration for each transmitting station and map. I was flying in Sinai today attempting to use the R_NAV_data_SinaiMap.lua as a guide but not having much luck finding a station at the Egyptian airfield Wadi Abu Rish. I would like it if we can have some facility to navigate on each map via both RSBN and ADF beacons.

I happened upon this thread because I wanted to add some radio navigation options for the 21 in the Sinai map. It doesn't seem that making missions for Egyptian MiGs will practically support ADF homing. All I wanted to accomplish was to set up a transmitter truck on the airport. Thanks for the useful information. Perhaps I'll make a custom Lua file and share it, maybe mission creators might use it in the newer maps.

The Mozdok PRMG is listed on the F10 map as functional on runway 8 and 26. I can only get the glideslope to function on runway 8.

Thank you for taking the time to inform me. I tried pretty hard to search the internet and find this information. I appreciate the help.

I've been flying the Viggen for a while now and working my way through all the weapons. When trying to use the Sidewinder derived A2A missiles the seeker heads do not behave as expected, compared to the F-4E which worked flawlessly in the same mission file. The only heat source that I can get a proper tone lock from is (directly bore sighted towards) the sun. No adversary aircraft I tried will give a tone. The Missile Uncage button will not lock on a target either. The missiles sometimes track to the target from an exact bore sight. I'm flying a fully patched version 2.9.18.12899 MT. I suspect that this is a bug. I looked and could not find any way that the Viggen is misconfigured on my part.

Thanks for this information, I was struggling to find it.

I love the Beaufighter but the view out of the cockpit is appalling. The engines and wing severely block the tracking of ground references. I'd give my vote the the Douglas A-20G. With 4 x 20 mm cannon and 2 x 50 caliber forward firing nose guns it's a strafing doomsday machine. It's optimized for single pilot operation, was operated by many DCS air forces and in all the DCS maps, and has good performance for fast access to the AO.

I'd buy a DC-3. It's a classic, simple enough for single pilot operation, and can serve in multiple logistical roles from supply to paratroopers.

I'd buy a Junkers 88.

I like the Douglas A-20G, it's ideal for single pilot usage, has devastating strafing/rocket attack potential, and good performance. It was operated in all the existing ED maps too.

I love the Ju-88 and would buy one without hesitation. It's the best German multi-role bomber / night fighter candidate in my opinion.

My favorite candidate for a WWII bomber/attack aircraft would be the A-20G Havoc. It's optimized for single pilot operation, had great performance, and devastating fire power. It also has the advantage of serving in at least a dozen air forces spanning all the existing ED maps.

I love the idea of a Lysander, and though I would buy one I don't see how ED could make enough money for that to happen. While I adore the Hudson, I would opt for a Douglas A-20G Havoc. This is mostly because of it's multi-role capability, optimization for single pilot operation, devastating armament options, and lively performance. I love the Mossie too, but multi-crew is a problem if you want to make a module that will appeal to the most people. The Havoc served in all the areas that DCS has maps for too.

I would like to suggest the A-20G for a future module. There are several reasons. Firstly it's a single pilot cockpit plus an AI (or multi-crew human) dorsal turret gunner (2 x 50 caliber), which makes for easy crew requirements. The AI could also assist the pilot by calling out fighter threats. The American style radio system is designed for easy single pilot operation, simplifying DCS integration. The nose armament features 4 x 20 mm cannons and 2 x 50 caliber machine guns in the nose for awesome strafing performance. Additional armament can be 12 ATG rockets or up to 4000 pounds of bombs. The 240 Knot cruise speed and 820 NM range are perfect for many mission types. The systems are relatively simple. The aircraft served for no less than 7 nations in every theater of the world, making it usable in the existing Pacific, European, Middle East, and Asian Maps. The aircraft is ideally suited to anti-shipping, low level strafing/rocket attack, and medium level bombing missions. I believe that this aircraft would be enjoyable for a good variety of ground attack missions and would make maximum use of already existing ED maps and resources. Actual pilot operating handbooks and other manuals are easy to source and simple to read. Finally there is an existing airworthy A-20G flying in the united states that could serve as a subject for the project.

Thanks for an interesting and challenging campaign. Szatan Arba is a great adventure which improves a pilot's competence in the Hind. I like the variety of missions and the level of difficulty. It is interesting exploring the intersection of what the Hind actually could do and how well that is represented in the DCS model. For instance I rarely choose Rockets because they are heavy and the lack of modeled splash damage renders them less than useful for me. I also rarely use bombs because of the aiming challenges and again questionable splash damage. Lastly I never carry the gun pods or the grenade launchers. I did find the cluster munition dispensers to be an interesting and useful weapon, I had never tried them before. This campaign really makes it plain how much care needs to be devoted to managing the weight of the Hind at high altitudes and what choices of weapons are worth carrying. Operations at the ragged edge of controllability really upped the stress of fighting in the mountains (in a good immersive way). I hope that as one of your goals in designing the missions, as you succeeded so well! I haven't been able to work out what Arba means? Might you clue me in please? I'll definitely fly anything you publish, and comment on the social media about how awesome the experience is!
