Indeed: I only found out myself recently

Certain modules can already do that, but it would indeed be great if this was incorporated into the DCS core

Yes: the AI versions of full-fidelity modules are part of the DCS core.

The loadout that's considered to be standard for A/A sports a centreline fuel tank (instead of the wing tanks) so that leaves no room for an ECM pod. For purely A/G missions where you take 2 wing tanks, it's probably a good idea to take an ECM pod but that would also depend on the expected threat level. IRL the last 20 years or so have seen operations in very low-threat environments so I can't see any reason why you'd use one - as there's simply no need.

Ah yes, I see it now - thanks. Let's hope this mess gets resolved with minimal further damage...

I see no such thing. So either it's been turned into a "private video", or else it's been removed altogether.

Well, one can argue there is no “C” without the back-end: support, CSAR, transport of ammo and other logistics, … There are a lot of people including myself who are VERY interested in more support-related tasks, and in the end it should integrate well with the upcoming dynamic campaign as well. For short: more action-oriented people should be happy there are others who take care of logistics, and the people who enjoy logistics can be happy they don’t have to be constantly in the thick of the action Win-win!

I doubt it: they always said it will be a part of the DCS core and I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. It would be quite silly to offer it as a paid module when the DCE is meant to attract new people into the sim

The point of that is to set home base as far away as possible so you don’t get the annoying deedle-deedle every few seconds. 59 is used by the system as Bullseye by default so 58 is as high as you can set it. You probably won’t ever have 58 waypoints in a flightplan so there’s no risk of interference.

ED have stated from the start they want to do something different, more unique to DCS - and as far as I understand also more in-depth, which is why it's taking this long.

Apparently that is correct IRL, but as far as DCS is concerned it can be considered a bug. I do hope however that at some point we get a more realistic interpretation of RWR/electronic warfare in DCS...

I've been able to prevent/fix problems by running programmes in admin mode. Here on the forum I've seen posts from people recommending both normal and admin-mode. So I'd say try either but then if you run into (weird) problems, try the other as first step in your troubleshooting process. *edit* After reading the thread linked above, it's probably best to try non-admin first: Flappie comes across as someone who knows what he's talking about. I have been running DCS for years as admin and I just turned it off.

The sad part is that the SA map being heaven for helo ops was actually a big part of the sales pitch, and one of the reasons I decided to buy it... Oh well, lesson learned I suppose.

Yes the “home fuel” caution - even when taking off fully fuelled - got so annoying I always set HOME waypoint to 58 as part of my startup procedure, before I even start taxiing…

You can read about people’s observations on the new FM in the many existing threads about it. There’s no need to make a new one.
