Ok, maybe I just underestimated the Mi-26... I honestly thought it would crash after a single missile but I guess it makes sense that it is very robust. Thanks for clearing that up!

I just tried to replicate it and it seems like I was just not patient enough and had bad luck... The Mi-26 seems to be very robust, I scored some hits on the main fuselage and it didnt crash but when I attacked it from the back it crashed after a few rockets. Im not sure the current state is realistic because i think a Hydra would probably destroy a Mi-26 in one hit but atleast it isnt invincible. Heres the Track of the Mi-26 finally crashing but being undamaged after a few hits (Ignore my awful flying, I just wanted to hit some rockets as fast as posible to keep the track short): a-10.trk

Sorry, I didn’t save it, I will try to replicate it tomorrow and will get back to you.

Inspired by the Wikipedia article of the APKWS which mentions that it was used to shoot down a simulated cruise missile with the Sniper targeting Pod, I tried to shoot down a Helicopter with the Litening and the APKWS. I managed to lock onto the Helicopter (a Mil Mi-26, the largest possible) in AG Point tracking mode and was able to hit the Helicopter about 7 times with the APKWS but it didnt crash. It did crash after a single Aim-9 though... I dont think a Hydra wouldnt make a Mil Mi-26 crash, and I think 7 would not be survivable for it... Does anyone know why the Hydra doesnt do any damage? Is the damage model of the Mi-26 broken and I need to use a different helicopter or is damage against flying vehicles just not modeled for AG Weapons? There was a kill of a helicopter by dropping a bomb onto the ground below it just as it was taking off during desert storm if I remember correctly so it seems the damage is not negligible in real life. Can anyone explain why it doesnt work in DCS?

No, actually the runway heading isn’t mathematically rounded but the last number is dropped so 25 will be 250 to 259.

Hello guys, Yesterday I tried to import some images for a custom Kneeboard and put them into saved games/DCS/Kneeboard/AircraftName, but some didnt show up. I noticed that the pictures where the png file Ending was in Caps (PNG) were not being displayed. I fixed it by running "rename *.PNG *.png" as just renaming it with rightclick>rename wouldnt work, but I just wanted to make you aware of this sou you can fix it, and if your custom Kneeboard doesnt show up, maybe try this.
