No, LOC 07 is in the correct end, but DCS map makers usually add an offset ("chartOffsetX = " in the relevant entries in beacons.lua) to the shown coverage sector to avoid clutter. Orbx haven't done so to LOC 07. LOC 25 is offset, and located right next to LOC 07, just like in real life.

LOC07 is misaligned by approximately 0,5° N according to the mission editor.

Do you have any more details on this issue? I don't have the Kola map myself (at least noe yet) so I can't check this, but one of the ILSes at Bodø is in fact offset by 10° IRL. LOC 25 is also located in the "wrong" end of the runway, right next to LOC 07.

It's still there. Google maps has an old photo from before the upgraded helipad was built (for the new AW101 SAR birds).

To be fair, in the russian or finnish parts of the map that locomotive wouldn't run at all. Using a standard gauge locomotive on 1520mm (Russia) or 1524mm (Finland) gauge would probably look a bit like your screenshot, since the wheels would be resting on the sleepers/ties, not the rails.

On the Norwegian side of the border, the only bombing ranges are Porsangermoen and Setermoen. https://www.forsvarsbygg.no/globalassets/vi-tar-vare-pa-miljoet/skytefelt/setermoen/kart-setermoen-sof.pdf https://www.forsvarsbygg.no/globalassets/vi-tar-vare-pa-miljoet/skytefelt/porsangermoen-halkavarre/kart-porsangmoen-halkavarre.pdf Page 212/213 and 224/225: https://www.regjeringen.no/contentassets/ca593828204649b6b42bbfe917779530/no/pdfs/nou200420040027000dddpdfs.pdf There are los of smaller ranges as well, but thay are mainly for infantry use (up to C.G. 84mm). There is also a surface-air and surface-sea missile range at Andøy (page 221-222 in the PDF above).

And out of those 4 batteries, the only part that's largely intact and available to the public is the radar site at Trøgstad fort.

Step 0 should be uninstalling McAfee. There is no reason to use anything other than MS Defender.

You obviously misunderstood my post. I didn't say that making DCS playable on linux is a waste of time, but that improving playability through Wine/Proton is a more sensible way of spending limited development resources.

Increased linux compatibility through Wine/Proton is probably the best we can hope for. Making DCS a native linux application would be a massive undertaking, and is not worth the effort. The graphics API is only a small part of how the game interacts with the host OS, so while switching from DirectX to Vulkan certainly helps, the rest of the job is not as simple as replacing windows.h with linux.h in a few source files and recompiling.

Several of the large fighter bases in the area have arrestor gear. Bodø and Evenes in Norway, Vidsel in Sweden, and Rovaniemi in Finland.

It seems like some people here are confusing frequency conversion and frequency pairing. VOR and TACAN are incompatible, but if the VOR is co-located with a DME, the frequencies are paired according to a table defined by ICAO. Unlike VOR, DME and TACAN are partially compatible, so a DME equipped aircraft can get the distance (but not bearing) to a TACAN beacon, and vice versa. The same goes for ILS, where you just input the localizer frequency, and the glide path (and DME, if appliccable) frequencies are set automatically.

114.9 MHz is a VOR frequency, and can't be used for ILS. The highest available localizer frequency is 111.95 MHz.

110.10MHz is a localizer frequency, and is thus invalid for VORs.

Make sure you have a headwind of >5kt for the runway direction equipped with ILS.

Backcourse approaches aren't really a thing anymore outside the US. Modern ILS systems use highly directional antenna systems, and the back lobe of the array is so marginal that it can't be used for backcourse approaches.

So you want Razbam, who were not involved in making the DCS F/A-18C, to make a F/A-18D instead of the F-15E that they are actually working on? That's the only way your post would make any sense. The alternative would be that you don't understand that ED and Razbam are separate companies, with their own products.

The localizer frequency for two opposing runway ends are almost never the same. The UK is the only place I can think of that does this on a regular basis.

You'd be hard pressed to find a single fact in all of his 4.6k posts. I'm not trying to tell the mods how to do their jobs, but the fact that there have been no consequences for sabotaging countless serious discussions is beyond my comprehension. His delusional ramblings are basically forum poison.

We have seen multiple times (e.g. with the Hind) that the OP is completely unwilling (or unable) to listen to the advice given, so trying to help him is simply a waste of time.

Yay CGI. Exactly what every sequel to a bad eighties film needs...

None of the examples you mentioned were developed by Boeing. Both the AH-64 and the F/A-18 were inherited from McDonnell-Douglas after the merger.

The big question is: who has the nicest mag? The CPG or pilot?
