I *think* the file for that is in the saved games directory so a repair won't help. You'll have to wait for someone to provide that file here (sorry, I am not on my computer right now).

What do the words of the ATC mean in the radio?
razo+r replied to loscsaba86's topic in Missions and Campaigns
You have various options to count the distance you have flown. One is with radio navigation like you used. RSBN or with a DME, if available. As a backup method, you can also use good old math and a stopwatch. Fly a known speed, like 300kts for example. Divide by 60 and you get 5nm per minute. Or 600kph, divided by 60 and you get 10km per minute. Together with the given distance and a stopwatch, you can calculate how long you have to fly. So for your example, 45 divided by 10 and you have to fly 4 and a half minute to get there. ATC "guides" you to that point. Once you have arrived there, it is up to you to commence the approach. ATC will only tell you to contact tower/clear to land once you are closer to the airfield. It will not tell you anything once you have arrived at the initial point. (Or at least that's how I remember it). But the be 100% honest with you, the current system is almost useless, except for giving you the active runway and perhaps wind. I mean, giving you a vector to that initial point is more or less useless. If you are flying IFR, you'll most likely use other systems or procedures that will take you there safely. Especially in the MiG-21 or older aircraft in general without GNSS, flying to a "random" point in space from your current position where you might not even have a radio station around, you'll probably want to home to a station first and then fly to the point, so the vector given doesn't help, especially if they don't give you continuous and updated vectors, like in DCS currently. And in VMC you can just look on the map/kneeboard and out the windows. And the pressure given is 99% useless too. Majority of aircraft in DCS and operators around the world use QNH and not QFE. There are of course exceptions and especially old aircraft and eastern operators (and one or another western operator) did and are still using QFE. But then again, that's up to you if you want to use it or not... -
AJS37 poor flight controls, unstable and no engine thrust
razo+r replied to Aero_105's topic in DCS: AJS37 Viggen
You should only have to use rudder on the ground, in the air pretty much not at all, unless you have SPAK disabled. Only then you have to apply a bit of rudder for coordinated rolls/turns. The Viggen can fly as aggressive as an F-15, but only once. After that all your speed is depleted and you'lll be a sitting duck. So, different airframe, different way to fly. It's the ground attack version after all. If you get into a dogfight with an F-15, many things went wrong. Not saying you cannot try that, but it's definitly a bad idea with a predictable result. -

What you describe does not sound right, but we need more informations from you. Make sure you follow the stadard troubleshooting steps, like checking your controls, turn off arcade/game flight mode, if necessary remove all mods, run a repair etc. Also, upload a short track. That will help a lot more. -
As soon as Magnitude releases the F-4U along with the japanese assets and ED with the map and other stuff. No date available.

Ah, hab Signaturen ausgeschaltet, daher hab ich das nicht gesehen...

Wäre gut wenn du deine Spezifikationen nennen könntest. Das würde helfen, Vorschläge für dich zu machen.

razo+r replied to loscsaba86's topic in Missions and Campaigns
It is the distance to a point infront the active runway axis some distance away. Also might be on Km instead of nm depending on the country. -
It's been a few months since what? A request? Do we even know they started working on it?

(Don't forget the WWII assets pack that itself alone adds another 7 years of EA)

Sorry, I don't want to go off topic, but I just noticed something. The wingspan scale, you have a 10 mark all the way to the right, then the next mark is 11, which is your setting, then you have 12 (long vertical line with small horizontal line through it), 13, 14, 15 and the 16 that is marked with 15? Or is the big vertical line not 12? Judging by the non linear spacing I guess I am wrong?

fa18c external lighting - strobes / possition lights
razo+r replied to Ghostmaker's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
There is a light master switch on the throttle that you have to turn on aswell. Don't think that one is clickable so look in the controls for the keybind. -
Here's the best answer you will get: It depends. There is no "One is always better", it entirely depends on the situation. There are some situation where a radar guided missile is better, some situation where an IR guided missile is better, and sometimes there are situations where a radar Lock paired with an IR missile can be okay. If the target is far away, you might be able to fire a radar guided missile before you can fire an IR missile. The opposite may be true if he is close. If a target is hiding behind a cloud or flying into the sun, a radar guided missile is better suited than an IR missile. If you want to be stealthy, an IR missile will be better suited than a radar guided missile.

There is absolutely quite a bit of interest in a winter version of Normandy from the community, however, the developers have no plans currently for winter. Here's a tiny collection of that topic:
-
If a new mission does not work it's definitly also worth a try to remove all of your mods and then see if that improved it.
-
I can enter and view the encyclopedia from the mission editor just fine. Have you removed all of your mods when you tried it? Does it also happen when you enter the mission editor in a fresh mission without any units in?
-
Yes, the DCS AI turns off the ILS for the runway that is not in use. Lower wind settings, 2-5kts or so, tend to make it a bit more erratic.
-
No, not in the sense you want. But you can of course prepare the MFD pages so that you can quickly cycle through them with DMS left/Right to the appropriate page instead of trying to find it in the MFD page menu. And then if you perhaps pre-set RUK mode or if you use the HAD, it should be fairly quick.

Gazelle just falling out of the sky in air starts
razo+r replied to GrEaSeLiTeNiN's topic in SA-342M Gazelle
Weight? Outside air temperature? Your altitude? Got a short track? Have you tried the solution that fixed the problem for OP? -
Rain on the cockpit is invisible from the outside?
razo+r replied to buceador's topic in Weather System Bugs & Problems
It has always been like this and we don't know if ED plans to model wetness on objects and the world.- 1 reply

Seperate infantry units will not add or subtract any efficiency with their presence. So you don't have to put soldiers behind units.
-
Doesn't have any use in DCS.
-
But we don't have an israeli F-16C. They are specifically going for a US F-16C.
-
First 3 are not going to happen as our variant that ED wants to model does not use those weapons. Same basically goes for the SDB. You may refer to the other X amount of topics about (one of which is literally pinned in the wishlist section here) the SDB for more details on that.

Remove all mods, run a repair and see if it's still the same. Also would be nice to know if it's all vehicles or only specific ones. And then also if they even have their engines turned on in the first place.
