Ah, great, glad you catered for that!

I mentioned that as a precaution, in case the OP heard somewhere that one can turn on the exterior lights to salute, and tried to apply that to taxiing.

Just keep in mind that magnetic declination may vary significantly in different parts of the same map. That difference could be as big as 15-20 degrees (Kola).

IIRC it only has a quickstart guide. There are couple features still missing, and several non-critical bugs await fixing. Guess Deka just being honest and don't want to say it's done until it is indeed 100% done.

It's not a map's bug, but the aircraft's feature limitation. DTSAS can only hold so much data in its memory. You get this message whenever one of the waypoints in your route is further than ~245 nm from the starting position. If you have further questions, the A-10C forum would be the better place to ask.

Binding the refueling door open/close command to an easily accessible joystick button was the first thing I did when learning the AAR in this aircraft

It shall be noted that the inability to build our repaints upon the default liveries is only part of the problem. The other - and much bigger - part is that locking away the aircraft's model made the repainting prohibitively difficult to anyone who value their time and mental health. ModelViewer is a lot more than a mere "instant texture reloader". It gives us ability to preview different texture channels and material layers, and see how they react to various environments and times of day. It allows playing with model arguments. It permits much easier and precise camera control. This list goes on and on, but I'm sure that ED, and anyone who ever tried to make a proper livery, are well aware of all that. And that's why teaching the Mission Editor texture refreshing will not solve the problem we have at hand.

NineLine solved the OP's question. Not their fault that this thread later got hijacked by painters

Just tested this in a simple SP mission, and it works fine. - Do not use the radio menu "Salute" command. - The "Exterior Lights Master Switch" hotkey doesn't work as a salute substitute. - Use the "F-14 Pilot" > "Catapult Salute" hotkey command (defaults to Left Shift + U) when ready to taxi. If done correctly, the yellow message changes to "Awaiting salute gesture". Press the salute hotkey again, and after a brief "Awaiting permission" message the brown shirt will hand you off to yellow shirts for taxiing.

You're overestimating the F-4E and underestimating other sims. Those sims have quite a few ultra-complex aircraft, plus all the effects I mentioned, and more. We can easily have both too, if ED opts for a sensible implementation instead of a NASA-grade weather simulation. For example, one can equally believeable imitate airframe icing by increasing the drag or by calculating every icicle. The former is a sensible approach. The latter is insanity.

What complexity? Wet runways, icing conditions, wind gusts, thunderstorms with lightnings and proper turbulence effects have been an integral part of other sims for at least a decade.

Hi! Should this be considered a formal successor to v2.0 because it's no longer maintained and/or has become too buggy (I'm not closely following its development)? Or is it indeed simply a fork for those who want more features? If it's the former, should we start pestering Retribution & Liberation authors to include v3.0 support?

Could've fixed the typo as well (Moa > Moza)

AFAIK, yes and no. This mod hasn't been updated in years. And seeing that even the CJS Superbug Tanker, which is very much alive and actively supported, still has similar issues, I doubt this could be resolved by modders alone.

We previously had an iPad-like frame, but thankfully they got rid of it several years ago. I belive that the actual content should occupy as much of the kneeboard's real estate as possible. This allows for better readability and higher information density, thereby improving kneeboard's usefulness. Wasting this precious space on meaningless decorations for the sake of immersion? That's a definite no from me. (Having this frame as an option is also not an option, as the creators will be forced to cater for it anyway.)

For this you must simulate cockpit interactions click by click using the "X: Cockpit Perform Clickable Action" trigger. E.g.: Trigger-1: Press "TCN", Trigger-2: Press "6", Trigger-3: Press "7"... ...and so on and so forth. Open Bankler's CASE 1 Recovery Trainer and see how he organized these triggers, then try to replicate some of them in your mission. This post should help with understanding the logic behind the Cockpit Device, Command and Value attributes, and where to find their values. It is not particularly difficult, just time-consuming and may require a bit of trial and error.

Looks nice. You're probably aware, but in case you don't, our F-5E semi-unoficially supports the 100-399MHz range.

Here's the track: Kabul_CFIT.trk Edit: OP beat me to it You mean the stock C-17A? Because MAM don't have any C-17.

That's too bad. You were only ten bumps away from this being marked as "not planned".

This is very true. Furthermore, navigation in DCS often feels like an afterthought. One could spend more time dancing around missing navaids, frequencies that don't match the charts, and beacons that don't work as expected than actually navigating. It is certainly doable, and could be quite enjoyable. But if OP wants to learn it for something more substantial than finding their way back to base at night, I'd look elsewhere.

The C-101 is the only aircraft in DCS that simultaneously supports TACAN, VOR, ILS, marker beacons and the in-cockpit GNS430. Can't do better than that for IFR. As for the map, get whichever has the best navaids coverage and charts availability. I would recommend Nevada. Finally, the training materials. You can go easy mode by looking for specific stuff on youtube (e.g. "how to intercept a radial"). Or do it old-fashioned way with the AFMAN publications, such as the 11-217V1.
