Ya but for a simulator with only a few airports, it would be way easier to include it. Many players could use these charts, not only me. And this is a wishlist thread, so there is no need to say something like what you have said. It's a wish of me and other people.

No you don't need QFE because if you know the airfield elevation (f.e. 300 feet) and you see you are at 400 feet, you know you are 100 feet above the ground. That's why no one uses QFE. Because it's useless.

I would like to have charts (Arrival charts (STAR), approach charts (VOR/TACAN approach charts) and ground charts). Maybe departure charts (SID) as well. VOR/TACAN approach charts are necessery for planes without ILS instrumenting (f.e. the F-5e Tiger). It's impossible to land the F-55 under heavy IMC. (Ya I know the F-5 is not allowed to fly in IMC). And also a scrollable map on the keeboard like in Il2 Sturmovik.

In real aviation you get the QNH and the runway in use when you "request taxi" and when you report "inbound to land" The problem is DCS don't use help from real pilots much. I try to help make DCS more realistic for years. For example the beacons on the F-10 map. I tried to get DCS to implement that in 2013 I think and it took that long to have the beacons on the map finally. DCS has much potential but to create a good simulator for anything, you have to use help from people who are familiar with this.

What are CIS countries? No airport would give a pilot a QFE, because the pilot can only fly with a QNH. With QFE you never know your height above the ground away from the departure airport, so the QFE is useless. One of the most important things is to know your altitude and for altitude you need QNH. Ever have flown in low altitude at night where you don't see obstacles? Without knowledge of your altitude you end up in a mountain very quickly

Ya but we don't need a start up aprovement in DCS because... you know.... Never have seen someone who quits the sim because he didn't get startup aproved. Usually in real aviation we get the wind in knots. The A-10 CDU is able to take wind inserts and I think you have to insert in m/s but I'm not sure. But the rest is much important!

The QFE is useless on high airfields because the baro altimeters are not able to set such values. And the QFE is only useable at the specific airfield. Not en-route and not on other airfields. The QNH is universal

The ATC would be more useful if it was more like a real ATC. 1. No wind at startup (this is useless because the wind changes until take off) 2. No "request startup", VFR traffic doesn't request startup in real life and what should we do if we don't get startup approved? Close the sim? 3. First ATC contact is request taxi, ATC responses with runway in use and QNH (We need the QNH in Hg/in and HPa) 4. Next message AT THE HOLDING POINT, NOT ON THE RUNWAY is "ready for departure", ATC responses with wind and runway xy cleared for take off. In flight: 1. First contact "inbound to land", ATC responses with runway in use and QNH (not QFE) 2. ATC gives landing clearance on base or final with wind It's not the same as in real aviation but it's a good balance between useful reality and easy sim.

When I am looking down to the cockpit bottom the engine sound goes quiet. Also the engine sound doesn't work as it should (when shutting down, ...)

No, at the begin the plane stays stable and the more time the more swings the plane around the altitude (especially in higher altitudes) or the localizer

The autopilot flies a sinus wave vertical and horizontal while trying to hold altitude or while trying to follow the localizer.

For the next update we need the parking brake is set as standard setting, because if we join a server with hot start, the Mirage moves forward while loading and as soon as we sit in the plane we are almost off the taxi way.

Yea for the QNH you have to calculate QFE +/- elevation (mostly + and 1 HPa per 27 feet). So QFE: 1000, elevation: 54 feet -> QNH 1002. Or you set the airfield elevation during startup.

I was unable to correct my daviation and RAZBAM forgot to insert that procedure in the POH. How to set a new deviation? And "+" should be east and "-" should be west.

Above the red circles: VHF, LF, UHF, ELF

What does it do in real? I don't have this switch in my Cessna 172 :pilotfly:

Of course! At first: The Sabre (F-86) and Mig-15 needs ground power to start the engine. The F-5 needs ground air to start the left engine. In the case of the A-10 and Mirage you can use the ground power to align the INS systems (saving fuel) or to keep the systems aligned during repair. If you have your first time in a new module you can use ground power to get familiar with the systems without depleting the battery or having the APU or engines running the whole time.

Every airfield has 3 radio frequencies. You can also use the presets

Hello, you can't contact ATC on VHF in the Tiger. You only have a UHF radio, so you have to use the UHF frequencies (around 250 MHz).

This is normal: The left engine start button activates the left engine ignition for 40 seconds. The rpm comes from the ground air. The right engine start button activates the right engine ignition for 40 seconds and opens the air valve from the left engine if the left engine runs at least 70%

Aerobraking isn't more effective than mechanical braking but it's wear-free. You don't need it for the arcade game planes. You need it for the realistic module but it's more common in real flying. As my old flight instructor said: "The plane needs no brakes! Pull the stick until you stopped!" So you do it well! You create maximum drag and if your landing is good, you don't need wheelbrakes on the most runways. Otherwise you are too fast.

Thats are 22 NM and too far away for the ILS. Switch to landing at about 10 NM (18 KM). Here an example: ILS approach The final approach starts at about 9 NM in this case. And you have to be at the correct altitude. Try 3000 feet QFE (1000 meters, more precisely 900 but 1000 is good). Stay clear of ground and obstacles - look on the map.

Ok for me it doesn't work yet. I use the warthog throttle. I pressed the button but had still full range. Full range is the usual setting. When do I have to press the button for no afterburner setting?

No, otherwise it would be a game plane like F-15 and co and not a simulator plane. For people who only want to play there are many FC planes and people who want to virtually fly have to read the POH for hours :D But that is the difference: F-15 and co are AceCombat level and Mig-21 and co are DCS level and it is absolutely usual that the DCS level needs knowledge. So don't give up and keep learning to fly and not to play ;)
