In DCS, the poor man's bearing pointer (ADF) could also help.

Nope, it's still there, in the Part 3 as always. I renamed all files in the latest update, so you might want to remove the old kneeboards and re-download the parts you need.

I did a brief test, and they're performing on pair with the 7M. P.S. There's no "H". AIM-7MH and AIM-7M share the same "7M" code. The SP TEST function is not implemented.

NAVAIR 00-80T-113, or this excerpt.

Looks that adding supply trucks (resources) to an "invisible" aerodrome (personnel) creates FARP without need of the actual FARP object. Without those trucks, the ground menu is still there, but they won't answer your requests.

Got a reply from guys at Bleaker Island. The map on their site is correct. The airstrip at Gull Point is currently in use, and the one near Lafonia Point is unusable.

IIRC you cannot actually request anything through this menu.

Nevada had room for additional info, most other maps don't.

Thanks! All kneeboards already have ILS frequencies.

To my knowledge, they only use Pagan a few times a year (to drop tourists and for occasional medevac). No aircraft is stationed there, and aside from probably a barrel of kerosene there are no facilities. North West Field, at least until the recent past, acted as an "extension" to AAFB, with no permanent facilities whatsoever (read: FARP). Olf Orote is used for training only. So yeah, while it would be nice to have them as spawn-able locations, I can see why ED is not particularly eager of doing so. It's a limitation, because AI require taxi routes that are only available at "proper" airfields.

I've been given this explanation. It's not from ED, but it could give you some insight into their logic. I don't think either of these airfields ever officially "existed" in real world (with published charts, ICAO codes, etc). The fact that some piece of ground is used for takeoff and landing doesn't make it a "proper" airfield. If anything, this gives ED a valid excuse not to bother.

I can think of some less amusing animations that should be added before ED could move to amusing things. Everything that happens before the catapult and after trapping would be a good start I think they've mentioned that some "collision avoidance" logic is planned.

Models in DCS have dozens of animations. For example, "canopy open" is animation X playing from keyframe 0.0 to 1.0. Animations are controlled with arguments that can be put into a livery. And when this livery is loaded, those arguments tell the game: "animate me opened canopy", "animate me extended speedbrake", "animate me ripped off wings", and so on and so forth. If you look inside the folders in my archive, you'll see files named "description.lua". Open any of them in a text editor, and at the very end you'll find these arguments. The way it works is that first you pick a "VFA-103 ... Preflight" livery (in the Mission Editor or when spawned in-game, it doesn't matter). The arguments in this livery will give you extended ladder, installed covers, etc. You then play your preflight or whatever, and when ready to start the engines, you request rearming and pick a "VFA-103 ... Ready" livery. The arguments in this livery will retract the ladder, remove covers etc. You can swap these liveries back and forth however you like.

Hi, try these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZmdPgNz-6dBBcRfaV6oP0C4JOYKawoez/view?usp=sharing Works fine with player aircraft (no chocks tho), uncontrolled AI (wings always folded), and static planes (no issues). Doesn't work with regular AI, as they cannot change their liveries and will fly with covers installed and canopy opened.

Да, вы правы. Похоже что в прошлом году поменяли логику. Пойду обновлять конспекты.

As stated above, there's no "official" way to do this. But you can try doing it a "silly" way by using a pair of custom liveries with certain arguments in them. The first livery (with covers, chocks and whatnot on) you select in the Mission Editor. The second livery you select via the comms menu when done playing preflight (to override arguments set by the first livery). Not all arguments work (the game resets some of them on spawn), and I haven't tested this thoughtfully, so there could (and probably will) be bugs. hornet_custom_args.zip

Наоборот - для ручной, если активирован TRIG. Лазер светит пока удерживается триггер, или же 2 секунды при однократном нажатии. У лайтнинга (не атфлира) также есть опция MARK - при ее активации триггер включает инфракрасную указку.

Skyvector is not the most reliable source of navaids. Port Stanley has the co-located NDB 305 and VOR-less DME station. You need both for the approach. DCS got the NDB correctly, but for some reason replaced DME that has no VOR with VOR that has no DME - so that's a bug. P.S. STA 340 doesn't exist anymore, at least not in 2022.

Or, it could be that the map on their site is outdated, and five years ago they began to build a (much larger) southern airfield Sent them an email, we'll see if they answer.

South Atlantic / Falklands added to the pack. Grab it here.

The southern strip at Lafonia Point (which we have in DCS) is unnamed/abandoned. And the norther strip at Gull Point (which we don't have) is the actual Bleaker Island Airfield. https://bleakerisland.com/maps/

I'm assuming you're using Google Maps/Earth? Their imagery of Falklands seem to be really outdated and inferior to Esri/Bing/Apple that all have Bleaker clearly visible.
