Found one other person reporting the exact same issue in forum, with no fixes. When creating a new mission in mission editor, editing existing mission, etc., USSR vehicles are categorized as fortifications. When selecting 'tank' icon and placing a new vehicle, the option under "Category" is only 'FORTIFICATION", with Type options being "Armed house, bunker, watch tower, etc. Generated missions will place USSR vehicles, which operate as expected when flying the mission, but they are still listed as FORTIFICATION in the editor. I ran DISM and SFC to ensure that my hard drive was clear of corruption (it was) and then ran the DCS repair tool. Repair tool reported running successfully with nothing downloaded. Same results. I then deleted the \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\MissionEditor directory and re-ran the repair tool. Curiously, it still said everything was fine. I launched DCS, which then crashed to desktop. I ran the repair tool again and it downloaded and created the MissionEditor directory. I launched DCS and Mission Editor and the original problem still exists. I ran the repair tool yet again, it said it ran successfully, and the problem is still there. This is a 'vanilla' (no mods other than purchased from store) non-Steam installation, updated to current version, but the problem goes back to earlier versions (since original installation several months ago). I thought I just didn't understand the editor, but now realize that there's actually a problem.

Only USSR Category for ground units is FORTIFICATION I would like to try to create a mission but it seems I can only add ground units of the USA variety. I select the tank icon to place a vehicle group, then select USSR for country, and the only category option I have is FORTIFICATION. Am I missing something here?

Here here!! I'm always impressed at the level of 'professionalism' among most flight sim forums, and DCS is certainly no exception. Of course there are a few bad eggs but for the most part everyone is willing to help. On a side note, I had another Wow moment today. I was flying a Shore mission, was getting intercepted by a Mig29 and asked for fighter support. The fighter support showed up, but my own F-15 hit me with an AIM-120 (even confirmed it in the post-mission brief). Now I guess I could have been upset by that, but I was actually pleased that a friendly fire incident was even possible from the AI.

Too many wow moments to list The attention to detail is just amazing. I was watching a playback of a mission and was switching views to the different ground vehicles, and was just in awe of the war going on independently of the part I played. I looked at a fuel truck which was part of a convoy and was blown away at the detail. The mud flaps of the truck were swaying in the breeze, and the little cap on the exhaust stack was fluttering. The soldiers inside were even well detailed. It was so detailed I began to wonder if ED's next project was going to be "DCS - Fuel Tanker Truck!" Another thing is the audio of the other aircraft and vehicles. Amazing, especially considering that you wouldn't even really hear most of that stuff from inside the A-10 - but ED did it anyway. These guys are obviously passionate about their work and it shows!!

Very cool app It's apparent that a lot of time went into this app. I love it! Great job!
