  1. Just noticed Dessau airfield has two NDBs (inner/outer) with the same frequency 765.0 KHz. Identifiers are different though, WN for inner and W for outer.

  2. Please see here for further tests:
  3. @BIGNEWY Here are some further test results: These are the settings that I set for my throttle axis for the Virpil CM3 throttle: After setting these values in an instant action mission, I did the same with the F-5E in an instant action and set these values to hit the physical AB detent. See how these values are basically inverted to those I set for the MiG-29: Next, I check the MiG-29 settings again in another instant action mission - and they have been overwritten to the values that I just had set for the F-5E?! Then, after restarting the game, I see these settings for the MiG-29... ... and for the F-5E - they are all gone again. Here's my log file as requested: I also see several .crash files in the logs folder, even though I quit DCS the correct way, there was no crash. Not sure if that means anything? dcs.log
  4. I always took MiG-29A as a colloquial form of NATO lingo Fulcrum-A following how NATO pilots talk about it and would have absolutely no sleepless nights if it stayed that way, but that is just me.
  5. I am also a non-VR User, and yet it doesn't save.
  6. I configure my Virpil dual throttle as sliders and add a -10 curve to match physical detent with in-game AB detent, but with every restart DCS reverts to the old settings. Axis inversion remains though. This seems to be related to the same issue in the MiG-29
  7. I just found out that the F-5E (FF) is also affected by this... I configured my Virpil dual throttles as sliders in-game and added a -10 curve to make the physical detent match the in-game AB detend, but whenever I restart DCS, these settings are gone.
  8. All the other fighter pilots, the aircraft manuals, the procedures of the fighter-bomber wing I served in, many books and many videos. What kind of fighter pilot told you that?!
  9. Same. Quite annoying bug.
  10. I'm not going down to that level of yours. You don't know much about NATO or aviation.
  11. That's nonsense. If a military or commercial pilot was not able to speak and understand basic aviation English, he wouldn't belong in a cockpit in the first place. Speaking English in aviation is a matter of professionalism. Exactly. The L-39 cockpit was labelled in Russian for all the other Warsaw Pact nations too, not only for Russia, because Russian was the lingua franca for the Warsaw Pact and the only aviation language there.
  12. Because it is a question of standardization. And professionalism, if you will. So again, not weird at all for those who are familiar with professional military or commercial aviation in the west. Military or commercial is not the point. The point is that even in Russia the labels were not changed into local language.
  13. Yes, all factions in the Middle East use proper English, as this video proves (sorry, could not resist )
  14. That's ok, because Russian was the official aviation language in military and commercial aviation in East Germany (and all other Warsaw Pact states)
  15. That is good news. Would you like to tell us what you are working on in detail? For the Cold War NATO Training Server I only used basic features offered by the ME to keep it as simple as possible. The pilots/squadrons plan their missions based on what's given.
  16. Correct, JG-3 with two squadrons MiG-29 and one squadron MiG-21 (MF if memory serves right) Preschen was promised by Ugra for phase 3.
  17. Did Warsaw Pact countries use their own native language in their MiGs, Suchois, Antonovs, Tupolev and Iljiushin? Were there Polish, Romanian, Czech, Hungarian and German labels and Natashas or Nadjas or whatever the East called their Bitchin' Betties? No, of course not. Nothing weird about that. Of couse every NATO nation uses English in aviation- except for the French, but their history in NATO is special in many ways, so... And I'm guessing that nowadays Airbuses and Boeings in Russia also have English cockpit labels and avionics.
  18. Why? The German Airforce is a NATO airforce, the fast jet pilots have been training in the USA since the 1960s, it has used US aircraft for a very long time, English is the international language in aviation, so naturally avionics in Geman AF aircraft are labeled in English.
  19. We are not playing around here, we mean serious business
  20. Some action on the CWGNTS: 1./JG71 had two different flights in the air today, and we had excellent ATC support on the server alongside. HG10 was a two-ship practicing Maverick and Gun employment on the Baumholder Range in ED-R1, while the three-ship HG13 went into the TRA205 to practice 2v1 ACM. Concidentally, all aircraft met at their homebase, which was an interesting sight to see five aircraft at once in the pattern. HG13 flight departing Buechel RWY03 as seen from the cockpit of HG10A. We are continuing to offer milsim squadrons and lone wolf pilots a virtual homebase to fly and practice on the CWGNTS and become a member of a community of pilots and ATC to create a living and breathing military air traffic network. Contact us via PM for further details.
  21. Die 1./JG71 fliegt weiterhin regelmäßig Montags und Donnerstags ab 19:45 Uhr auf dem geschwadereigenen Server, den wir zum "Cold War Germany NATO Training Server (CWGNTS)" als Kooperationsangebot an die Community ausgebaut haben. Heute hatten wir auf dem CWGNTS fünf staffeleigene Flugzeuge in zwei Flights in der Luft, und dazu freundliche und kompetente ATC-Unterstützung von außerhalb. Während die two-ship HG10 in die ED-R1 (mit aktivierter ZSU-23 als Feinddarstellung) für AGM-65B und gun employment flog, ging die three-ship HG13 in die TRA 205, um 2v1 ACM zu üben. Eher zufällig kamen beide Flights dann zur gleichen Zeit im Pattern an unserer Homebase an, sodass es zeitweilig voll wurde mit vielen Flugzeugen in der Platzrunde, was unseren Towerlotsen aber nicht aus der Ruhe bringen konnte. Anbei eine kleine Impression vom heutigen Flugabend: HG13 flight departing Büchel RWY03 Die 1./JG71 ist weiterhin offen für neue Mitflieger, die Interesse an realitätsnahem Übungsflugbetrieb einer F-4 Jagdstaffel der Luftwaffe in den 1980er Jahren hat. Wir werden dazu in naher Zukunft unsere "Zentrale Ausbildungseinrichtung (ZAE)" an die Staffel angliedern und Rookies im aktiven Flugbetrieb vom Backseat aus an die Hand nehmen, um ihnen die wichtigsten fliegertheoretischen und -praktischen Aspekte unseres Flugbetriebes effektiv und realitätsnah vermitteln zu können. Wir arbeiten derzeit an einem komprimierten Syllabus und der Qualifikation der "Instructor Pilots (IPs)", mehr dazu in Kürze. Wenn Du Interesse hast und bereit bist, etwas Zeit und Engagement in Deine fliegerische Ausbildung und das Hobby Flugsimulationzu stecken, um nicht irgendwie nur ein bißchen rumzudaddeln, sondern möglichst realitätsnah und professionell zu fliegen, dann tritt gerne in Kontakt mit uns und schreib uns eine PN.
