So which way is the wind actually blowing? This is so confusing. Seems to be odd that this isn't a basic fundamental as A/C IRL NEED to take off and land INTO the wind. Like Aviation 101.

While supplies last.

Well, f*@k me..... I tested this at KOB on Caucasus and the wind direction does determine whether or not a ILS is working or not... wish I had known this 4 months ago haha. Oh well, it was fun to fly. I know do know that some ILS are bad though (as annotated on the list) because they work up until about 10 NM out then stop all together or they drop to the ground instantly. So hoping they can fix those. I'll have to change the wind direction and test all of the others. Thanks for the heads up! Have a great day!

I started noticing that not all of the ILS worked on each map. So I started with ILS and grew the list into TACAN, VOR, and NDB's. Since navigation is a huge part of aviation and the simulation I wanted to let you guys know - only 50% of the ILS are working, among a few other things. I haven't flown the new Germany map yet to check all of those as this list took several months to make. I will update this list as I fly more. Hope this is well received, my aim here is to bring awareness that not all of the navigation aids are working. I have also noticed that some of the taxiways are labeled differently that the kneeboards in the Caucasus map. I will make another post with pictures to show what I mean in a different post. Thank you for your time and consideration, have a wonderful day! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***TACAN, VOR, ILS (64 of 128 ILS working - 50%), RWY lights check | Last update = 25 APR 2025 |*** ***Conditions*** - All info taken from F10 map.

It's not necessarily that they are too bright or dim, it's that they are NOT all uniform. One is bright while the others are dim. Definitely not a "check procedures" issue either. It's definitely messed up. I noticed this too and it's been messed up since release.

It was a rhetorical question, sorry.

Just wanted to let you guys know that it's still doing it. Also, I said it was on station 5 and 8, but I misspoke, it's actually stations 3, 4, 8, and 9. As each round fires is leaves the pod, but never shows each round missing after shooting. Even after all ammo is spent it still shows full ammo, externally. When you SJET them they drop just fine and the external graphic shows them gone. I didn't attach a screenshot of that though as I didn't feel it was necessary. Thanks again!

Can DCS make this change? I don't really like going into the code or whatever it's called. Don't want to screw something up worse or violate any multiplayer authentication as well.

Those are super neat and look cool, but it would be nice if ED could set it up to where you physically can't rearm and refuel on the RWY or taxiways. Make people, who DGAF about anyone else, get off and out of the way for others who are ready to fly.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right spot to put this and I know it is going to piss off a ton of multiplayer players, but is there a way to make it so you cannot rearm and refuel ON the runways and taxiways? People get so lazy and block routes to the RWY. If we had designated rearm and refuel areas on the ramp/apron (like in real life) it would cut down on congestion a lot. Thank you in advance!

I have searched for a fix for about 11 months. Finally saw this the other day. Thank you so much!!! It FINALLY works properly now!!

Sorry, I should have mentioned the software but it slipped my mind at the time. I have Buttkicker Hapticonnect. I don't have an issue tuning anything to do what I want it to, the issue is when I start a helo from cold and dark with nothing on and the engine RPMs are already going before the engine is even started... and the engine RPMs stay running long after shutdown. Other than that it works great.

Hey guys, not sure where to put this so I'll do it here. I've noticed that when doing a cold start in helicopters my buttkicker, before starting up the aircraft, will be rumbling from the engine RPMs. Even after shutdown in the AH-64, OH-58, and CH-47 it will be rumbling. I don't have any other helo's so I can only speak to these. Any way to request a change in this? It's kinda weird to have it going well before you start the engines when everything else is silent. I emailed buttkicker about it and they said it would be on your end to get the telemetry changed. Thank you in advance! Have a great day!

I just want to say that I don't care about the politics, legal, or whatever it is between Razbam and ED. I bought the Harrier about a month back or so and have about 50hrs in it now and just wanted to say that I absolutely love the module. There are some issues with it, yes, but it is so fun and I believe that they did a wonderful job on it. It is fascinating to me to learn a new module that is completely different with the VTOL. I just wanted to spread some positivity somewhere and this seemed like the right place to do it. I hope that a resolution can be reached with both companies and neither Razbam or ED forget why they started this in the first place.... to share their passion for HAVING FUN. Don't forget it fellas, and thank you both for what you have done so far. Keep kicking ass!!!!

That's exactly what I did. Made sure the screens were touching. Thanks again, I greatly appreciate it!
