    Agreed. On a map with limited resources getting road and rail networks historically accurate is far more important than le moulin rouge. If you are over Paris you know it, moulin rouge is just for site-seeing. Some historical landmarks are needed for navigation, like St. James's Park, as long as it is there it is readily recognizable from the air and Buckingham Palace is redundant, although you might notice it not being there. Although some of the new historically accurate targets like Amiens Prison are greatly appreciated and unique landmarks for navigation like Mont Saint-Michel are vital. Others not so much. Like RAF Hornchurch, vitally important during the Battle of Britain and I would love to see a historically accurate rendition of it on the map but by 1944 it was largely an administrative center and no longer conducting operations. If Ugra had unlimited resources i'd say go for it but with constrained resources I would prefer that they add RAF Woodchurch which was an active ALG for fighter squadrons up until Aug 1944 when the last squadrons were in France and it became just an emergency landing ground for returning aircraft.
  2. Constantly. They're necessary for coordinated flight which will make you more accurate a shot and landing is also much easier.
  3. Hopefully it's not part of the Assets pack and is a free asset.
  4. Lovely setup, wish Santa had delivered one to me! How long did that take to make? Have you got "Synchronize Cockpit Contorls...." checked under Misc. options?
  5. I fully expect that we will see it in the 2025 and Beyond video since it has been in the launcher video recently as well as the same sort of update we got last Christmas. I doubt they will give a release date but it seems third party development times are becoming longer with increased expectations from customers. I don't think anyone can predict more accurately than+/- a year of when it will be released. It looks like the workflow in DCS has become much more complex since Flying Iron announced this module.
  6. No, I believe you are mistaken, that is the gremlin, his job is to randomly break things.
  7. And no one will respond until they aer working on a release, no how much you complain.
  8. You probably need to adjust your expectations. This team has historically not replied to any posts except in the lead up to an update which they do every nine months or so. When they do them, they are great. Right now though the entire team may be hard at work on another map, Korea hopefully, for DCS, another sim or maybe both if we are lucky.
  9. Going from memory right now, I seem to remember that the Detrola BC-1206 reciver was only used for trg in the US as airfields were equipped with the appropriate transmitters. They were intended to be removed from aircraft before being sent to Europe so we should not have one in the P-47. Link below corroborates my recollection. https://aeroantique.com/products/bc-1206-receiver?variant=6452198965278
  10. If I recall, it was specifically for 'Tiger Meet' in 1968(?) Maybe Giant Tiger got it from them? Interestingly, Tiger Meet and Giant Tiger were both founded in 1961, coincidence?
  11. Operation Dragoon August 1944 south of France.
  12. Many of them aren't done and it would be easier to use for a longer time period of they were not there to begin with. Take all of the 9th AAF ALGs in Sussex for example. Also, most of the Luftwaffe fields Normandy used post July 44 were just grass fields like ALGs and are not represented.
  13. Exactly. ALGs should not be built like airfields on the Caucuses map. What would be best is the terrain is suitable for takeoff and landing of WWII aircraft and if we used it like a FARP. You need a template for each ALG with ammo, fuel and command vehs and a repair tent. Use the terrain removal tool to remove trees as required. Should be less work for Ugra than the current method of building an airport for each.
