No it is still not working...

Same issue. It's ridiculous it was first raised many, many months ago yet still not fixed.

Just came across this issue today. It looks like it will take forever to fix.

I already opened a ticket yesterday regarding the bomb / pylon issue, and got this "very professional reply" to it: From: Konstantin Kharin Hello. Please discuss this here https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=512 this is not a competence of technical support. Best regards and many happy landings !

For me a low visibility ILS approach is always exciting.

I'm quite new to DCS, don't know how things work here - how long does it usually take to fix bugs like this?

I think this issue has the exact same roots as the one I reported a few hours ago regarding the MK82 bombs and the pylons.

Exactly.

I am wondering if the MK82 is correctly positioned to the center pylon. It looks really weird to me, because when the bomb is attached, it looks like the pylon's lower edge has an arc, kind of taking the shape of the bomb. But when the bomb is dropped, the pylon's lower edge is straight. Can't seem to get it.

You are right but it has nothing to do with the lack of ILS. Sure one can "break the rules" and carry out a non precision approach when a precision approach is required and sure it is a lot of fun and yes, landing on a carrier is cool but I was talking about the lack of ILS. I want to carry out precision approaches onto conventional runways, not boats. At least, not always. And it's a pity ED won't implement optional ILS capability.

Not gonna happen - and I'm quite disappointed. Wags replied in a Facebook discussion that neither conventional ILS is gonna be added, nor PAR. Which is a pity - because operators such as Finnish, Swiss, Spanish, Kuwaiti etc. Air Forces, just to name a few, don't base their Hornets on carriers but on normal airports and it would be very essential to have proper precision approach capability. This news basically destroyed my further interest in the Hornet - coming from civilian flight simulation - with a background of about 20 years or so - I truly love challenging night time and/or zero visibility approaches, and I thought it's not even a matter of question that the Hornet is gonna have ILS. I was wrong. Wags recommended to use TACAN or waypoints but that's a nonsense. Those are not precision approaches.

+1 on this

I would also like to know why this happens. I am sure it serves a purpose but very much interested in what is the idea behind it.

It would be awesome, I hope it will at some point be implemented. Wouldn't mind paying for it either, along with a Huey mod with no doors and with bubble windows. :-)

How to install the mods in Open Beta please?

Is this normal? Parked on the Stennis. Boat speed 25 knots. Is this effect realistic provided the aircraft is parked on the carrier?

Now reading this, I suddenly have serious doubts regarding a Polychop Kiowa. It looks like it won't happen and indeed it's quite unclear what is going on.

Whoever has the licence, they better release it soon! :-)

Do I understand correctly that the next helicopter from Polychop is gonna be the Kiowa? If so, that's amazing, can't wait!

Not that unique. Finnish Hornets also operate out of road bases as well as Czech and Hungarian Mig 21 aircraft used to, too, just to name another. Also, ED already refused to enable Heatblur's implementation of such road based systems in the online environment and added that such a functionality should be developed by themselves and not limited to the Viggen. So I guess it may actually happen at some point, even if it is not such a high priority item right now. Might be a good idea to go and lobby for it to come.

I very much prefer the Gazelle. I wish rain effects on the windows were added though.

According to others it does actually work but the knob itself isn't animated. Fingers crossed this and other missing animations (at least that of the toe brakes and the radar stick movement) will later be added.

I am not too sure if this is the correct behaviour after a less than perfect landing. After a hard contact, I drifted kind of sideways on the runway until coming to a complete halt. Going to exterior view, I kind of expected collapsed landing gears and possible further damage but all I found was the landing gears half sunk into the runway. I guess there's no damage model for this kind of event? I managed to reproduce this on multiple occasions.

I am not expert at all, in fact very limited knowledge of aircraft but based on what I read so far it seems to be very realistic. The "way" precision night bombing was meant to be done in the Viggen is by using the illumination bombs to light up the target and then throw whatever bombs on it. This is normally done by a co-op work of multiple aircraft, one drops the Lysbomb and the other(s) then bomb the now lit target. Correct me if I am wrong.

Keep us posted how it went!
