Okay, just a cosmetic thing, first thought it depends on the paint scheme I use, but this seems not related. Thanks for checking. Lets wait for @RAZBAM_ELMO

Hello, just noticed, that placing the eclair pod instead of the drag chute is okay in mission editor. Once on the ramp, external model only shows drag chute cover. Screenshots and track file attached. Regards Jens M2000_eclair_not_visible.trk

Hello, using the groups triggered actions will only work with a trigger in your mission starting that groups action (no 1 in picture). You need to go to the waypoint section of the group (no 2. in picture). Select the waypoint, first one, if the helicopter starts nearby the group which it should excort. Below the waypoint settings for speed and so on, there is a button called "waypoint actions". Clicking will open a dialog almost exactly like the one in your picture, but this will activate the action selected directly when reaching the waypoint and does not need a mission trigger. Regards Jens

That's my guess too, so it's more important for the existing parking spots to work for the size of aircraft that should fit in, so they can use the defined taxi route from that exact spot. Edit after parallel post: The taxi waypoint would add a new complexity which can be avoided by setting up parking spaces for corresponding aircraft.

Hello, I wanted to place tankers at Andersen AFB Parking spots 150 onwards but they are not in selection? N 13°35'1.79" E 144°54'58.52" Is this intended or bug? On google earth pictures looks like heavy jets parking there. Regards Jens

Thanks. Let's wait for ED. Update: Looks like it's fixed now. Copy files from open beta worked and Marianas is available in mission editor.

As stabel has been updated to version DCS 2.7.3.8494, there's a hint to download Marianas Map when launching the game and opening module manager. Accepting the Download, the installer starts and than fails with the message: Unknown module MARIANAISLANDS_terrain Here's part of the log: 00000.074 --- Log file: E:\games\DCS_World\autoupdate_log.txt 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2021-07-14 13:50:42 00000.012 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.11.2.89 (Windows NT 10.0.19043; Win64; de-DE) 00000.012 INFO : src-id: [someID], lib-id: [someID] 00000.012 INFO : cmdline: "E:\games\DCS_World\bin\dcs_updater.exe" apply [some GUID] 00000.045 STATUS: Initializing... 00000.069 INFO : basedir: E:\games\DCS_World 00000.071 INFO : Command: install MARIANAISLANDS_terrain 00000.074 INFO : DCS/2.7.3.8494 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,MI-8MTV2,MIG-21BIS,FC3,UH-1H,UH-1H_video_EN,MIG-15BIS,L-39,LAIVYNAS_MI-8MTV2_OILFIELD_campaign,AJS37,YAK-52,RAZBAM_AV8BNA,PERSIANGULF_terrain,F-5E,F-86F,RAZBAM_MIG19P,AVIODEV_C-101,NEVADA_terrain,RAZBAM_M-2000C,F-16C,HEATBLUR_F-14,FA-18C,SU-33,POLYCHOPSIM_SA342,KA-50,FW-190A8,WWII-ARMOUR,NORMANDY_terrain,FW-190D9,SUPERCARRIER,SYRIA_terrain,A-10C,A-10C_2,MI-24P) 00000.074 INFO : branch: 00000.075 STATUS: Downloading version info... 00001.340 STATUS: Preparing to install MARIANAISLANDS_terrain ... 00001.390 STATUS: Unknown module MARIANAISLANDS_terrain 00004.210 === Log closed.

Patrol along Nicosia's UN Buffer Zone

UN Mission over Nikosia

As the answer was from 1st July 2021, I guess it is not yet in the open beta build. Last OB update was 30.06.2021. So only in an internal testing build and will find it's way in on of the next OB builds and finally someday to stable branch.

Hello, just an idea. There are many road blocks and fences on Cyprus, where the UN buffer zone is, which is nice. Would be great, if the buffer zone was better marked on the ALT or SAT map in mission editor / F10 view. Thanks Jens

Some information and solution regarding the axis binding in this thread.

Hi @Vibora, That decimal thing is still an open issue with different preset channels in the EB. My latest test was in 2.7.2.8165. Could you please have a look when time permits? Regards Jens

Yeah, I don't know how ugra handles this. Not commenting, but fixing would be okay. But no reaction... Some things get marked as reported (which means, that they go to internal backlog), others not. Than after a while you can see something in the changelog of a new version. It's hard I guess, someone has to scan, retest the forum reports with internal builds, compare them to already internally created bug tickets, react here on the forum and so on. Would almost exclusively block a whole ressource per module I could imagine. Maybe @BIGNEWY can shed a light on this. Regards Jens

I got no response on my post about the same thing...

Still strange, even if misslabled in English. For normal operation switch should be on, so valve is closed, but you will see an amber warning light!? So we will have to wait for EDs input and clarification.

What about tank no 3? Seems to be really tiny.

Hello, could someone please check this, I couldn't find something in the known issues. - bind keys to increase / decrease free turbine adjust - Startup the Hind's engines - throttle up -> rotor RPM around 95% - push button increase free turbine rpm --> rotor RPM rises - push button decrease free turbine rpm --> rotor RPM stays the same - look at collective lever - pushing the above mentioned buttons, the switch only moves into the increase position and returns back to neutral - pushing decrease, nothing happens - left and right click on the switch moves the switch, but decrease does not work So once rotor RPM has been increased, it can not been decreased. Will create a track, but I guess, the description could be enough. Thanks Jens

It's in the known issues thread: Show hints at mission start - settings are inverted.

I think, it's in the special options settings, but the checkbox "show hints on startup" (or something like this) is reversed. When it's selected, the control indicator will not be displayed on mission start.

Hello, I'm not absolutely sure, but I think when switching on the batteries from cold and dark rampstart, I can hear that door seal sound. Is this WIP or even something else? I guess batteries with engines not running have nothing to do with the NBC cabin pressurization system. See trackfile attached or steps to reproduce: - cold start - door open - left or right battery switch on --> door seal pressure release sound can be heard - all off - close doors - left or right battery switch on --> door seal pressure release sound can be heard - battery off - seal door (valve ccw) - battery on --> no sound - valve close --> release sound okay Thanks Jens Mi-24_door_seal.trk

Went into stable with DCS 2.7.1.7139 Fixed SPS landing system causing the afterburner to ignite. Attempting to engage the afterburner with the SPS on, will cause significant thrust decrease due to the open engine nozzle. So with gear down and flaps in landing position and SPS on, there is no after burner ignition available. Real plane throttle has AB detent, so you won't put throttle that far forward so the nozzle would open, which causes thrust decrease. Keep throttle below AB detent, fly the pattern/approach as per the book (not to shallow, not too heavy) and there is no need to light the burner on landing. For go-around, flaps to take off position and you can light the burner again.

You will find it here: [your_DCS_World_OpenBeta_or_stable_installation_folder]\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Doc\DCS MiG-21bis EN.pdf Don't know, if it's public anywhere else without owning the module. It has not been updated reflecting the recent changes I guess, cause the file dates 2018 on my PC. Regards Jens

Hello, please see screenshots and trackfile attached (east of Bassel Al Assad). Helicopter sinks into helipad and there's floating ground equipment around. Regards Jens Helibase_floating_equipment.trk

"Helicopters AI. Added ability to follow ground or naval units with same speed in the follow task." Sounds good, aircraft carrier SAR helicopter without the need for scripting. Thanks
