Guys, Any way to add a radio beacon on a moving unit? I want to be able to fly back to the Tarawa or the Stennis with low visibility, but our choppers do not have TACAN. Thanks.

You mean the Take off from ground option for the group of aircraft? Same place than the Take off from Ramp, Take off from Runway, Take off from Ramp cold, Turning Point, ... No mod required. Hope I understood your question.

Thanks feefifofum!

Suntsag, will the troops move with a moving ship?

I think it was mentioned already for Open Beta, but when spawning on the Tarawa, you are falling through the lift and crash into the sea on Release version.

Very strange move from ED. I checked it wasn't April 1st when I read the news. Interesting point on ED FB page: they are also working on adding civilian foot traffic as well as civil air traffic. The latter is simply awesome. I am really surprised by the quality of the animations for these cows. It looks too good to be true honestly. But maybe I am too negative. And I guess we will have other livestock like goats and camels for PG? Bears, deers and sheeps in Caucasus? Coyotes and rattlesnakes in Nevada?

Yes, you are right. But how to place units there? There must be or have been a way to do that for CTLD to deal with this case. Or maybe it deals only with dropoffs on ships. Not pickups?

Going from the self centered Warthog to a hall effect/hydraulic damping non self centered set of controls to fly helicopters has degraded me from "master pilot" to "pretty average at best". I guess this is good from a realism point of view since I was struggling as much in the sim as I did IRL on my R22, but it was frustrating nonetheless and I am still not back to the level of confidence I had when flying with the warthog.

I cannot set my choppers as 'start from ramp' on the two tunb islands airfields parking. I have to use the 'start from ground' otherwise they are sent to the closest inland airport (in that case in Iran which is not good when you are a US helicopter :P).

Thanks Silver_Dragon.

Hi guys, Any way to place infantry on the deck of the Stennis or Tarawa for example to be picked up with CTLD in PG? Do I have to use the copy/paste trick to place those guys on the sea? Thanks.

CTRL+E is the ejecting command. For Mi8, the crew is simply leaving the aircraft. In the Huey, you can see them running away from the chopper then duck. So basically, CTRL+E 3 times is a irreversible solution.

Keeping an helicopter away from mother earth is the essence of helicopter pilot's job. Helicopters hate flying and are waiting for the slightest pilot's mistake or inattention to crash into the ground.

Well, whatever they do for our beloved Shark, I am really happy and thankful to see that they are putting some love back into this fantastic old module. Maybe for the 10th anniversary of the release of this module? (Dec 2008 if I remember?)

No chance for rescue. A 2 seconds WTH happened?, followed by a lot of laughing.

The new ships in PG are not sinking the way units or statics are sinking. The ones which are part of the map are actually collapsing like a building. It happened during one of our training and it was hilarious.

Thanks. Anything else has been modified or corrected?

OMG, again this bug?!!

Having to spawn one after the other is a real pain. You have to coordinate precisely through TS/Discord. There's always one who miss it and spawns on the previous one. And what an immersion killer too.

Welcome to DCS World. All the aircraft carriers, including the Tarawa are unplayable in MP. Unless you are spawning one after the other and move away (for helicopters) before the next one spawns. It's been like this for a long time but I am not sure this is actually dealt with at ED.

There's no point in editing a mission of you cannot launch it to check if things are working the way you want. This means you would also need to be able to launch DCS on the iPad which will never happen obviously. In this case, you'll need to be able to edit in real time a mission from the ipad, then launch it from your PC next to it. But then, what's the point of using the ipad if you have your PC already available?

Or you can have to config.lua files (VR and non VR) that you switch using OvGME.(That's what I am doing).

There’s a dedicated translator team at ED but only English, French, German,Chinese and Korean. The work cannot be done with just one guy. We are not talking about 68 pages but rather 300 to 400 sometimes when talking about A10, Ka50 or Mi8. Translators working for ED are under NDA. We are using specific tools and a team leader is distributing the tasks and managing the progress. You need to contact Groove to see if ED wants to start a Turkish translation. But if they do, this won’t be just one manual but all the modules as well as the website. Now there have been before initiatives to translate some manuals and ED never get crossed about that assuming they had no team already working on it.

Just trying to help. This release/open beta system is not obvious for everyone.
