Repair only restores files that have been modified or deleted. It does not remove any added files. For that you have to do cleanup.

Either try what it says: .\dcs_updater.exe cleanup or use regular CMD.EXE command prompt instead of PowerShell.

Also, maybe I am missing something, but if the light was never on what would be the purpose of this indicator at all?

I don't know if this is your problem, but I have seen this behavior if the wingman is bingo fuel. Try giving him external fuel tanks instead of rockets.

I flew the whole mission seemingly without issues: picked up troops at Kartsa, met with Mi-24s, followed them to Podkova and landed but then nothing happened. What is supposed to happen at Podkova? I exited the mission but the result was 50, so no progress in the campaign. Thanks

Can you post the updated missions? Thanks

Would it be possible to have these messages be broadcast only to the friendly side? Bolek

Did you try if the default controls work in Su-25T?

May I suggest that while we are in this maintenance mode (and I appreciate that you keep the server running), you disable the RED/BLUE enforcement i.e. let anyone switch sides freely? This should lighten your load and I don't think anyone would care until a new round testing starts? And some people (like me) may join more often if they can try the modules "from the other side" in a more relaxed environment. Unless this change itself is complicated enough not to be worth it?

In my experience in 1.5 helicopters are affected by power lines (rotor gets tangled up) but fixed wing aircraft are not. This is for the wires themselves, masts are always a collision.

You can advance the campaign manually by editing the logbook.lua file. See https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2503118&postcount=2 for an example.

Bring up the control display (RCtrl-Enter) and watch if it shows anything strange when the spin happens.

Is the ejection handle hooked up to the sim?

Oh, OK. In the mission editor they are 130kg. I was somewhat confused because removing the cargo door also removes all weapons (why?), so I thought the difference was bigger than it is.

Also, these doors are pretty heavy. If you are flying close to max weight for the conditions (like in the "Spring Tension" campaign), it can make a difference. (that's in DCS, I have no idea about real life)

Well, while this "works", it is a workaround. It should be possible (and indeed it was in build 10586, before the Win 10 Anniversary Update) to run DCS in a borderless fullscreen window (with "Fullscreen" unchecked). Anniversary Update somehow broke this.

I don't think so, this kind of behavior has always been there since PFM. Autopilot was pretty broken before this ACS patch, but even then it behaved much better if the aircraft was trimmed for the speed (and had to be re-trimmed if major changes occurred while autopilot was engaged).

I can highly recommend the free "Bay of Hogs" campaign from user files. Never thought I would have so much fun in combat in an "unarmed" helicopter (no spoilers here :)).

The mission is only successful if the Su-25s destroy all their targets. Sometimes when threatened by the F-16s they stop the attack, jettison the weapons and run home. You need to make sure to keep the F-16s far away from them. See also this thread for some bug fixes and updates to the campaign: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=122981

Actually, it's even more strange. Altitude hold now behaves like level flight used to be. Not only it maintains altitude but also keeps the wings level.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I tried that and engaging altitude hold while level flight is engaged seems to have no effect.

From my experience, route following mode only works well if you also engage altitude hold. This is different than Su-25T where route following automatically maintains the programmed altitude. This was true even before this update and it didn't change in this respect. It's like in Su-27 route following mode is a lateral mode only. When altitude hold is engaged while route following is in effect, it maintains programmed altitude (instead of a fixed one when used standalone). Is this what you are seeing too? (Ironically, I think our beloved Su-25T has the best autopilot in the game...)
