To add to my previous message, it's a little bit more complicated. My DCS is heavily modded. A long long time ago, I had prepared for the Caucasus, a lot of airbases and airfields models including officials DCS items and freeware mods, and when I wanted to create a mission I was using these models. The missions I have already done with these models are working properly yet if I don't try to modify them. But if i try to include some of these models in a new mission, the mission don't launch or don't save and its value in bytes is o. I have identified what models I'd made were causing issue if I tried to use them in a new mission, but If I try just to change the plane in a mission made already with these models, the mission works but the terrain datas are false and that's what I've made with the F-16. I took a old mission for the Mirage 2000, heavily loaded all around the map with all the models I've made and I've just replaced the Mirage 2000 with the F-16 and tha's why it was impossible for the INS to work properly. I've noticed that it was even impossible to set the altimeter of the F-16. This one indicated me a false negative altitude, even on the maximum set (31mm/hg). So in fact, I was doing the mistake to not press enter at the good times during alignment but after that, when I've tried on NTTR map and that the HUD was displaying the distance to the waypoint after a long alignment and wasn't displaying it on a Caucasus mission, I understood that the issue whas caused by the map and all I had put on it. Since I have erased the models causing issue and replaced by the new ones I've made ( Sochi and Senaki) and all became normal.

Ok, I think I've found where's the issue: My mission with F-16 has been done in first for an other plane, The mirage 2000. When I've bought the F-16 recently, I've just replaced the Mirage 2000 with the F-16. And this method causes bugs in the INS Alignment. I've made a new try with the F-16 in a new mission and this time, all was quite OK and I have my HUD displaying distance to the waypoint with a normal assignment. Thanks for your help

Thanks for this tip. For altitude, I've understood that I must set my altimeter in first.

Ok, thanks ! I didn't know that I must press "enter" before 2 minutes after the beginning of alignment, for the LAT and LNG but I've made the try as shown in video but the issue is still here. But there is something else that I don't understand: The first steerpoint ( number one ) isn't the start place but a steerpoint already in flight. The start place is the number 0 in the ME but the DED shows "1" in its right upper corner. So at this time, is the DED showing the "1" steerpoint parameters or the actual parking place parameters ?

I've made some tries and I have the issue. I press enter after the end of alignment for the Lat, the Long and the Alt and it's the same.

Thank for having informed me.

Hi I don't understand: When I choose the short alignment, when the alignement is done, I switch on NAV and the HUD displays in the right down corner the distance to the selected waypoint. If I choose the NORM alignment, impossible to display this information on the HUD after the alignement is done and I've switched on NAV. I don't understans why ?

In fact, "Ctrl Alt Suppr" and I saw DCS.exe in use yet. After closing the application and restart, all was ok

Hi, DCS OB doesn't start and I have this message after the today update: Waiting for another application copy to release c:\users\XXX\saved Games\DCS Openbeta Help please

Thanks for the info

Hi Since the last versions of 2.8, I have the tooltips in the cockpits even if disabled in the menus. A bug ?

Thanks for the fix. It works for me.

Since I have re-started DCS two times with no issue at the end as I said, I think that the log will be OK since it gives the last start parameters.

Hi. I've updated today my Open Beta to 2.8.0.32937 and when I've launched DCS OB, Steam VR started but DCS was in no VR mode despite the fact that VR was enabled in the DCS parameters. So I've disabled VR in DCS, DCS has closed then restarted in no VR mode. Then I've enabled the VR again and DCS closed again and re-started with VR enabled and this time, all was OK. So if you have this issue, you have to do like I've done.

For now, we can't see isolated cumulonimbus and lightnings going with far from our position in the DCS. Hope they will come one day. And in a more general wishlist about clouds, more clouds than just cumulus and cirrus. (Stratus, tower cumulus, cirrocumuls, nimbostratus and so on...)

I have a reverb G2, all parameters are set the max except MSAA at 2X2 and the only issue I have in 2.8 are some black flickers in the Reverb G2 if I use the back mirrors.

So this topic isn't useless. It's a wish to have the possibility to choose the place where the player's plane spawn on the deck without having to fill the deck with static airplanes to force dcs to spawn where we want.

Thanks for the link. I understand better but it's still a shame that we hadn't the choice of the parking place to begin the mission, like we have on ground. After all, a carrier is a floating airbase.

So here the screenshots: https://imgur.com/nMrHLiN Then after, I've just just changed the F-14 by a F-18 without changing nothing else and see what' happens and explain me why: https://imgur.com/N8JgiUR

So explain me why the mission starts where I want in 2.5.7 and crashes in 2.5.8. For information, I've tried in 2.5.7 to replace the F-14 by a F-18 and the F-18 spawn in the midle of the deck. I will try to do some screenshots. You'll see as soon I post them.

Hi Now it's a fact, a long time ago, just after having purchased supercarrier, I had made a mission with the F-14 cold and dark on the Harry Trumann Carrier, and when I launched it, I was beginning on a parking place, just near the elevator behind the big tower. Nowadays this missions crashes DCS 2.8 when I try to launch it because we hadn't the choice of parking places anymore. If I create a new mission, the mission begins by placing the F-14 somewhere on the middle of the deck. It's totally unrealistic and we have no choice to change that. Despite this fact, my old mission began on the parking place I wanted and worked good until 2.8 but today, it crashes DCS totally. I regret to have bought supercarrier because it doesn't let us the choice of the parking place to begin a mission on a carrier and I just wish the return of the choice of a parking place to begin a mission with supercarrier, where I want on the carrier and not just with the plane put like a poor sh.t anywhere on the flight deck.

+1 It's the same with the stable version since the last update. Until today, I thought that the OB was used to spot the issues and to prevent to duplicate them in the stable version.

Hi If you look at a world map, you can see that from Batumi to Anapa, you have around 540Kms. And if you look, you have just a little more from Gazantep to Batumi (640 Kms). Gazantep is on the Syria map, Batumi on Caucasus map. And why not having the possibility to fly from a DCS map to an other during a flight ?

Hi, in the ME, we have the capacity to delete trees or objects and trees in a zone but I would like to have the capacity to delete the grass too. Some mods have hangars but the only solution we have to not have grass growing inside them, is to delete all the grass in the menu section. It would be a shame to deprive ourselves of grass elsewhere in the Caucasus.

Thanks to your answer
