I have to further investigate this, so forgive me if I'm on the wrong track here, but it appears to me whenever I use the new waypoint tool in MP with the M2000C, DCS will crash at some point during the following flight. DCS usually freezes completely then, and in 50% of the cases not even a crash message and crash report are generated. Has anybody else experienced this?

Mission planning and briefing is pretty much makeshift after all these years.

This wish also deserves a "Noted" tag by the mods.

Good idea. For training purposes the option "dry contact" could be added.
(Edit: I see s.o. else already suggested the idea here)

I'd also like to see AWACS/GCI giving optional vectors to tanker and to home base instead of just announcing their position relative to bullseye. Right now the DCS comm menu options even say "vector", but what you get is a bullseye position. (At least for western comms, it might be different for RedFor in DCS)

Good idea, it was already proposed a long time ago actually. This would significantly strengthen use of realistic callsigns in multiplayer. I could imagine graying out callsigns that are already in use to avoid double use of callsigns.

I'd like to read some news on the progress of the new ATC system and progress on mission planning/ DTC, especially for multiplayer. Those things have been promised years ago, and one can notice them missing every day in DCS.
Progress news on the dynamic campaign system and the MiG-29 would be the cherry on top.

Issue reproduced. Devs are working on a fix.
Flappie, I'd like to add that this bug also affects GCI in two ways:
1. No contact possible on MP servers,
2. in MP the callsign assigned to GCI will always revert to "Axeman" no matter which callsign was assigned.
In my tracks you should also be able to see that in SP the assigned callsign is mentioned in the comms menu ("Mantis" in this case), while in MP it is not, which might be connected to this bug.

Multiplayer on a dedicated server? Then yes, this problem has been there for a few months now, ATC doesn't reply. It's a bug introduced by ED. SP works fine.

Yeah, "old" bug, was introduced three to four updates ago...
Did anyone manage to get GCI to respond on a dedicated multiplayer server? It looks like in singleplayer it works like a charm, but in MP I can't get any contact... (realistic comms)

Neulich bei der 1./JG71:
PONTIAC 11 und PONTIAC 12 in der "last chance" für eine A2A training mission.
PONTIAC 12 im overhead break über Nellis AFB zur 21L
LOBO 12 bei einer A2G training mission kurz vor dem Tanken im anchor AR-625.
LOBO 11 kurz vor dem contact mit TEXACO.
Jester sagt, das sieht gut aus...
Die 1./JG71 befindet sich nach wie vor in der B-Course-Phase F-4 und lernt fleißig, das Muster in allen Einsatzprofilen der Luftwaffe zu beherrschen und realistisch zu fliegen. Wer Interesse an realitätsnaher Fliegerei hat und mit uns lernen will, ist herzlich willkommen. Unsere Flugabende sprechen wir derzeit individuell ab, so wie alle Mitglieder Zeit und Lust haben. Für weitere Infos gerne eine PN an mich.

Hi,
I want to create a mission where Jester executes two INS updates overhead different VORTACs. I also want to have Nellis as homebase and Creech as alternate. Did I label the waypoints correctly, will Jester be able to work with this?

This annoying bug has ever been present since the release of the Huey. That's more than eleven years now... unbelievable.

Very justified request; now that Vonrd pointed me to it, I see these helmets everywhere in old GAF videos. Interesting to see is that - if I'm not mistaken - it looks like both the French and American helmets were in use at the same time, sometimes by the same crew. In this video you can see the pilot wearing the French helmet and the WSO wearing the American one.

Would you happen to know which year?
I found this video which was posted 14 years ago, so 2010, and it shows the student pilots wearing the dark-grey Luftwaffe 1990s-2010s flightsuits, the dark-blue German Navy 1990s-2010s flightsuits and the green all-services 2010s-today flightsuits all at the same time, so I think it’s safe to say that the greens were introduced around 2009 to 2010.

What are your thoughts about the HB Default skins? It looks like only 37+83_n81a_jg74 has orange
Yeah, that is a pity actually, it is in fact not historically correct. All GAF skins for the 70s and 80s should have the orange-red flightsuits. In the late 1980s the GAF started to issue dark-grey flightsuits, but that didn‘t happen over night, you could still see some pilots using the red ones until 1990.
I don‘t know the exact year when the GAF (and German Army and German Navy too, before that they all had their own colors, army=olive green, navy=dark/navy-blue) started using the common all-branches green flight suits, it might as well have been in the early to mid 2010s, and same thing, the change did not happen over night, you could see the dark-grey flightsuits suits along with the green for quite some time until all personell were equipped with the new green flight suits, and the miltary uniform regulations even today still mention the old flight suits (along with the classic grey aviator leather jacket that was a standard issue since the mid-to late 1960s) as a regular uniform alternative to the green flightsuit and green fabric aviator jacket.

Ah... good point. But here's an F-104 pilot suiting up in Nevada Nov. 1982. I still think that both green and orange are correct. I might revise this skin giving one of the crew an orange suit.
EDIT: I just noticed your avatar... are you a former or present member of the GAF?
Your photo from 1982 shows two GAF student pilots in flight training in the USA. There GAF pilots wore and still wear the standard US CWU 27 flightsuit, but once posted to units in Germany, they wear the GAF flightsuits.
Green flightsuits where issued to all flying personel in the late 2000s, but in the 1970s and 1980s they certainly were orange-red. There are some photos from that era were you can see some wearing light-grey ones. I have no information though on which basis those were used, maybe they were issued as a "war time" alternative, along with the reds, but most photos and videos show pilots wearing the red ones. (Green flightsuits were introduced for German flying crews in the late 2000s, but they differ from the American CWUs.)
I am ex-GAF, but not as a pilot or in the 1980s, but being a kid of the 80s, I dig that stuff
The pilots of the 1980s were my childhood heroes. My avatar was made with the HB F-4 to represent that.

Thank you for the info, I learned something new today concerning the helmets. I only ever saw the American models in service.
I think the pilots in the screenshots from the movie above are wearing the "Frankenstein" protection suits, used mainly for flights over (cold) water or arctic regions, not the regular flight suits. Indeed these came in red and green, nowadays they are green only.
In the photo below these are regular flight suits, you can see that the GIB has pulled up his sleeves which would be hard to do in the "Frankenstein".

Eigentlich wollte ich den ewigen Zweiten mit "Second to none" nur etwas entgegen kommen und emotionale Hilfestellung bieten
( zumindest habe ich das so auch schon mal auf nem Patch einer Zwoten gelesen, weiß aber nicht mehr, ob das bei der 712 war)

Luftwaffe RF-4E 35+76 from 1984 Tiger Meet
Hi, thanks for this nice skin!
The helmet might be wrong though, the GAF never used French helmets.The original photos you provided show the backseater with that helmet, and he also wears a green flightsuit which was not used by the GAF at that time (GAF flights units were orange-red in the 1970s-1980a), so I think the backseater in those photos was simply a guest from the French Airforce flying the backseat at the Tiger Meet, a common practice at that time.
