Yes, I notices this too and it should be reported. It happens only in SP, in MP it fires only ones IIRC.

Wow, yeah, that looks strange!

Re: Circular zone It's a bit difficult to see but is the actual area that is removed the square encompassing the circle? That would be consistent with another (reported) bug for world.searchObjects

Hi guys, just received my new Orion 2 Joystick + extension and also the additional cams/springs/dampers kit. In the reviews I saw (Redkite etc) the cams are different from the ones I got. I guess this is a new version. Can someone enlighten my about their meaning. In the new version, one gets () NC-ARC SC-ARC NC-1S SC-1S Unfortunately, the Manual does not state anything about the abbreviations. I guess NC=no center and SC=soft center but what is 1S and ARC? [Edit]: 1S seems linear. In the older version of the kit, there was also 2S, which would increase resistance. Strangely, the default cams are NC-ARC, so the "extension" kit contains one set of cams that are also installed as default cams. Why? And which combo would you advice if the stick is used with an extension? Thanks!

Ran into the same problem quite some time ago. Cruise missiles do not obey the the radius setting. They will all impact at the same point. Thought it was a bug, too, but it is actually written in the manual. So it is by intention (even though I personally do not like it). (Attack Group/unit tasks only work for aircraft (unfortunately!))

Is a warehouse always associated with an airbase, FARP or ship? Asking, because we also have static objects such as warehouse, ammunition depo, tank 1, tank 2, tank 3, which act as warehouses, which do not belong to an airbase. Obviously for these, the warehouse cannot be retrieved with the airbase:getWarehouse(). According to hoggit , there should be a Warehouse.getByName() function https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_getByName. But that does not appear to work (not even for airbase warehouses).

Big thanks to ED!

There is actually a function to get the magnetic declination but it requires to de-sanitize "require" (strange sentence, I know ;)) See

Cool, thanks for the source! Think I already found why it's cubed (for R=1 m)

Thanks for the write up @Beamscanner. I'm trying to understand your max detection range equation and the values of the parameters you quote in the table. What does not make sense to me is the area constant You write 4π^3 but you the number you calculate (1984) is actually (4π)^3. That might be just missing parentheses but I still don't quite get where a factor of (4π)^3 comes from and why that should be an area? (I assume you take a sphere of radius = 1 m so the radius is not "visible" in the equation but still).

Last I tried, a C-130 was to big for Creech. There is no valid parking position so DCS solution is to despawn it on landing. Or can you put a C-130 on any parking position initially?

Can confirm this. BTW, it is really a spherical not a cylindrical volume that is searched (if it worked correctly). You can see this by moving the center high into the air with sphere.point.y=sphere.point.y+10000. Then it does not find anything.

Yes, to be fair, it also states that in the DCS manual p.330

Yes, that's indeed very annoying. I have reported that years ago and also found other reports here about the very same issue e.g.
