In the real jet, the cable has to be connected by the ground crew. If we can't ask them to connect it manually, then no option was actually added, just text labels.

How can you do that?

TCN had reduced range, but it still has nothing to do with your issue with the INS.

You should post a track, because I'm getting the INS to align even then I use a nonexistent tacan freq.

I agree. ED, please make this page more useful. We know it might be classified and you could be missing some info, but the general QOL features would be great (setting DL codes, setting up your group, and so on).

Then it isn't really changing anything. I wonder why it was added at all

@NineLine @BIGNEWY Can you please share some information on this new feature? It would be greatly appreciated! Should we expect the cable connection to be available as a part of the ground crew menu?

It does not mean anything at the moment. What it means in DCS, is that you can align in two different ways, depending on the availability of link4 on the carrier. If link4 is activated, and you turn on your DL (just link4, so only the first submenu) and tune in to the correct freq before you start aligning, the label 'CV RF' will be shown above your alignment timer. If it's not available or if your DL is not turned on, the label 'CV CBL' will be shown. Alignment speed seems the same for both modes, regardless of std hdg status. So, it actually does not mean a thing for us players.

On the throttle. No problem. It's a 4-way switch. I believe SRS added that functionality for people who don't have those available on their hotas system.

SRS does not reflect RL here, as the real jet has multiple PTT keys.

It does not

What I'm basically saying is "game breaking bugs should be fixed within a reasonable time frame" that is all.

There's no problem on my end. On speed flying is the same as it has always been.

I wasn't asking for the LRLS to be easily noticeable during the day. Just stating the fact that a visible laser won't suddenly become invisible during daytime, but it might be very hard to spot.

Flappie is stating the LRLS light cannot be seen during the day because it is a laser, which is false. This is what I was referring to, and this subject is not even DCS-related. As for the rest - may I suggest asking your SMEs before you ask us to search the internet for that one very specific frame in a video that will prove us right? A subject matter expert can easily tell you if the system is on during the day, and how easy it is to spot during the night.

I don't need footage to prove you wrong. You said, and I quote: "The LRLS system is not supposed to be visible in daylight, for it is a laser". As I said, being a laser has nothing to do with it. I don't need a document or a video to prove laser can be visible during the day. Can you spot it from miles away during the day? who knows. If it's on, it's visible, even during the day.

It's very very hard to notice it even at night, which is the problem. Also being a laser has nothing to do with day/night visibility.

That can't be the solution to every DCS-related problem we are facing, and honestly, that statement is very weak. I accept the drawbacks of EA and SAS modern gaming industry leans towards, however, I choose to criticize the developer's decision to NOT patch the terrain until they are done with phase three update, which is planned for December.

Maybe, but I don't care. I paid money for this module, and they had PLENTY of time to push those hotfixes. There's no excuse. The map was released 4 months ago. It had zero updates. Zero bugfixes. Now I know to avoid OnRe as a dev in the future.

Hot fixes should not take too long to implement. In my opinion, it's odd that you have not addressed the serious issues and tied them to phase three, which will come when... December? Come on, OnReTech - you can do better than that.

ED has done nothing to support these claims. This module seems very SP-oriented (ATC alone should prove this point). How many virtual squadrons are testing your upcoming SC changes?

Are we waiting for phase 3 to get those bug fixes? Can we at least get a hotfix to the BE location?

I click on the menu using my mouse. Still, a radial menu approach is probably the worst. It works for the tomcat because the menu is very specific, but don't forget the game lets you add menus and submenus yourself, which will probably not be a good fit to the radial menu system.

A change? Definitely. A radial system? Not the way to go here. The menu has too many submenus for that to be even remotely user friendly.

I have massive amounts of respect for the development team, but just like with the night equipment - get the basics first, and then take care of the extras. A specific WP command that allows the carrier to turn into the wind should have been there as a day-one feature. I am sure you agree with that. Most of us would appreciate those additions more than the elevators or ready room. Additionally, what's the purpose of developing this complex deck crew routine if you don't allow us to select custom spawn locations for aircraft, disable cats or support more than 12 jets on deck? I mean, it is really pointless. The ATC doesn't even want to cooperate with me and my friends flying in MP. If we can't get it to get us back to the ship, why should we care about a system that helps us park or taxi?
