I’m seeing the same issue in the MiG-29A after the patch (2.9.21.16362). The radar altimeter + VSI just went silent — gauge shows zero, test function fails. From what you’ve described, here’s what I suggest: Verify in the Mission Editor if the “ICAO weather settings” or “Instrument failures” options are enabled — sometimes the altimeter is disabled via mission triggers. Check in Cockpit Settings → Sensors / Data Link if the RAD ALT is turned ON. If both above are correct and the problem still persists, it’s likely a bug from the latest patch — you should submit a report with your .miz file, DCS version, and screenshots.

Make sure “Use weather preset” is enabled in the mission editor when you load that preset. Sometimes the editor defaults to custom or dynamic weather, which overrides the preset. After loading the preset, double-check the cloud type slider (in the weather settings) — it might automatically set to something and override your selection. Try saving and closing the mission editor, then reopen it. Sometimes the preset change doesn’t take effect until the mission file is reloaded. Check if you have “random cloud type” or “weather dynamic” ticked in the mission options — that would cause the cloud type to revert every time. If everything seems correct and the problem persists, it may well be a bug. In that case, you could post your mission file (.miz) and version of DCS so devs can reproduce it. This was output by ChatGPT — I personally don't know the answer; I tried to help as best I could.

That’s expected — the circuit breaker cover on the Dora is not implemented, so the keybind won’t do anything in-game. It appears in the controls list, but there is no animation or interaction, so pressing the key has no effect. You can assign the key, but it won’t work because the feature isn’t functional yet.

I’d say the F-5 is the best “trainer-style” jet in DCS. It feels like a real tactical aircraft — simple enough to learn, but still gives you proper systems, good speed, and great handling. You can practice everything from basic flying to real combat tactics, so it actually teaches skills you can carry over to other jets. Overall, it’s the most complete and rewarding option. Personally, in my opinion
