Thank you!! :thumbup:

The issue is actually not with the runways at all. If you set them to take off from runway an Il-76 will even take off from Lavan Island Airport, no prob. It will even land and stop in adequate time. The issue is that there are no parking spaces modeled for those larger aircraft. That's why they can't be assigned to take off from ramp and that's why they will disappear after they land. You have same problem with Mi-8, Mi-26, CH-47 and any other larger helicopter too, try and see. It's a super annoying problem though and I'm baffled why ED is not prioritizing this issue more.

Too much highly built up areas to model, terrain is very flat.

Problem is also with bigger helicopters like Mi-8 and CH-47 - they also can't be set to take off from ramp on many airfields. Basically logic SHOULD be like this: Two white rings around the airfield symbol = ANY Aircraft One white ring around the airfield symbol = Aircraft like An-26, Yak-40 and Fighter-jets. No ring around airfield symbol = Only light aircraft like Yak-52 and ANY Helicopter (though Bandar e-Jask should realistically have one white ring, and Minor Thumb should not)

I see a lot of wished for special US skins and Display flight teams, but we are still missing two, while not super fancy looking, still vital skins for Persian Gulf Map: United Arab Emirates Oman

Just imagine flying around there..

Updated my list, forgot that Norway also used to have the F-5.

Hi, I think an Arctic map similar to Janes F/A-18 would be awesome. I list the reasons below: - The dominance of the Arctic region is were today's superpower rivalry is heading. - Includes both Russian (including Russias most important naval base), NATO and Neutral territory. - Good environment for many of the DCS Aircraft such as F-16, F-5 (Norway), F/A-18C, MiG-21, Mi-8 (Finland) and Viggen, upcoming Bo-105 (Sweden). - Is sparsely populated, less time needed to be spent on building detailed cities. - Gorgeous scenery with Norways mountains and Finlands and Swedens forests and hills.

I bought the Gulf map today but it did not include any promised Iraninan skins. Tomcat, Su-24, Il-76 - none of these have any Iranian skins. I only have the skins I already had before buying the map. We also don't have any skins for Oman. I know there are some DLC skins but I don't want the game to break every time there is an update..

KC-130 has jet engine sound, not prop. and it's trails are coming out of the wrong place. The F-5E ejection seat textures are missing.

There are tens of countries now added to DCS World, however very few of them even have a single aircraft/helicopter/ground unit available that the country actually uses or used, even though they exist in the game. I've also noted that some that we did have went missing, for example Mi-8 is no longer available for Finland even though there used to be even Finnish skins for it. And the only ground unit available for Finland is the M818 even though Finland does not have them, but Finland has Leopards, MLRS, Stingers, BMP-2, and used to have T-72, UAZ-469, ZiL-131, BUK M1 etc. but those I can't choose. Considering that we then have random countries like Algeria that have even a skin for every single plane and even fantasy ones, it's strange. I've also noticed old aircraft like the F-16 and F-4 have started to miss textures, like for Israel the logos have disappeared from the aircraft etc. For a mission builder this really ticks my OCD, and apart from skins these should be really easy fixes for ED. Literally changing a .txt file. I know I could change mine myself but I'm often getting issues with the game when doing it.

I could not help noticing an Su-27 in Kazakstan Air Force livery in the ED EDGE promo video. I really hope this means they have added more countries into 2.0 and not only additional skins (yes I know there will be some new countries with the new map but KZ was not one of them). Can't wait to find out what kinds of treats are in store for us. :)

Yupp, I have the same problem with the cockpit class on the M. Did not yet check out the other bugs you mentioned.

I have had DCS Installed on my computer for a year. I've had Avast anti-virus for the same period. Today something very weird happened. Is this a false positive or what's going on?

Hi, I'm trying to make a couple profiles for my Saitek X52 and I've run in to a stupid problem. How do I program a command that is lets say, Shift+[ ? Because to get [ I need to press AltGr+8...and if I do that well then I have AltGr+8 in the command and not [ :doh: What should I do with these kind of key combinations? I have a Scandinavian keyboard.

The Track IR box HAS to be ticked in order for mouse aiming to work, whether you have Track IR or not.

I would like to point out a small error in the MiG-21 Finnish AF skin as well if somebody could take a look at that (I would if I would know how to use Photoshop) The error is the current skin is a hybrid of an earlier and later livery. The earlier livery where the registration number is written with big font above the wings should have big air force roundels, while the later version where the registration number is below the cockpit in small font has the small air force emblems. The current DCS skin has the big reg. number above the wings but the small emblems.

Thanks Guys for the help, all my issues are now solved (forum search helped me with the last point). :thumbup:

Thanks guy's, solved the problems with the Gunner view. I still can't seem to get the aiming reticle to show in the sight when in the right seat. The LShift+M gets it down, but the sight is empty. On the left side the reticle is automatically there when you lower the sight. The other thing is that I can't move the Gunners sight with the mouse (the view pans around but the gun does not move). This problem is even in missions I create myself.

I was just going to come here and ask about the Gunner position thing. :joystick: Another issue I'm having is that when pressing the M button, it only brings down the left pilots sight, not mine. I have to click on it with the mouse to get it down, and even then I do not have an aiming reticle visible. So issue is still existing in the latest 1.2.10

After doing the 1.2.10 Update I was able to download it as well from the Module Manager. Been flying now for an hour already.

I don't find re-writing 200 pages very easy.

Firstly I have to admit I have no clue what will happen when EDGE and DCS 2.0 are out, so these wishes are just based on current situation. I tried to motivate why I wish for especially these units below. My wishlist does not contain AI 4+ gen fighter aircraft (even though I'd gladly see Rafale/Gripen/F/A-18E/MiG-35 etc), as I understand there is too little good information out there about them and they are time-consuming to make even in AI form. Aircraft Antonov An-12: This used to the backbone of the Soviet/Russian Air force. With the MiG-21 and MiG-15 modules being introduced it would be nice to have a cargo plane from that era in the AI inventory (even though they are still widely used even today by civilian operators). Boeing 737: Any country you add to DCS World will have an airline that operates this aircraft. It would be nice to have a civilian airliner in DCS World, and in my opinion this would be the best choice. Don't know if there are some licence issues using real world airline liveries though. Helicopters Eurocopter Super Puma/Cougar: It would be nice to have a non-US NATO helicopter in the game. This helicopter is in use with several of the European NATO -countries currently in DCS World. Considering the new map Straits of Hormuz, the Super Puma is also operational with the UAE Air force. Naval Units Some more NATO presence would be on my wishlist. Mainly what I wish for is a Amphibious/Helicopter -carrier type of ship from some European Navy. The Spanish Navy Santa María -class and Australian Navy Adelaide -class would be easy additions as they are Oliver H. Perry -class ships. Ground Units I think I skip on my wishlist this time. The conditions for proper ground war do not exist at the moment (all map objects are transparent), maybe a few more NATO ground vehicles to balance out the current selection, don't know. In general I hope that the developers will take a minute to update the existing country+unit list. (For example, in real life Australia operates C-17 Globemaster, France operates the E-2C Hawkeye, Israel has never operated the LAV-25 etc.) They could also make the F-4 available for the US now when the MiG-21 is going to be out soon. (It's available for Germany even though they don't operate it anymore as well) Just my 2c :pilotfly:

This is from the September Newsletter about DCS 2.0 features: "Unified GUI that eliminates the need for separate GUI and simulation .exe while also speeding up mission load times. Later, this will also allow us to integrate simulation elements into the Encyclopaedia and Mission Editor" I think this is the answer to the question. We had this ability in the original Lock On, so I am very happy they are bringing it back. Cuts mission creating time drastically.
