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 Should this be considered a formal successor to v2.0 because it's no longer maintained and/or has become too buggy (I'm not closely following its development)?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.

If you wanted the action to open and close the refueling door, this is literally it.

Try 'Air Refuel Control' or something.

In the Mission Editor, point anywhere in the vicinity of the aerodrome, and it will show you the magvar for this area at the bottom of the screen. Add/subtract it to/from the white ILS course to get the magnetic headings for this particular runway at this particular year. On the in-game F10 map, simply stretch the ruler parallel the runway, and it will show you magnetic heading in cyan: ...Or drag the compass rose over the aerodrome to see the the local magvar:

Those are true headings, and so is 352° at Banak. The jet is showing you magnetic heading. 342° at Banak seems like a correct magnetic heading for a mission set between 2006 and 2010 when the magvar was approximately +10°

I had the same problem until I fixed tanker waypoints (contrary to what you say, they were NOT set to same speed) and re-saved the mission without wake turbulence.

Do yourself a favor and disable the wake turbulence in DCS settings. Then cycle through *all* tanker waypoints and set them to the same speed (I used 0.48 mach but that's just an arbitrary number). Like other people already told you, the tanker is rock steady. Play your own track and watch tanker's airspeed and altitude using the F2 camera. Then look at yours.

Hi, thanks for your response! I am aware that both airfields have unpaved runways. In DCS, however, it looks like a bug because the blurry satellite photo that goes as a "runway" doesn't match the rest of the aerodrome neither in pattern or in quality. And the taxiways are abruptly cut without any transition. Maybe try making runway more pronounced by adding a semi-transparent detail overlay? And/or make aprons and taxiways semi-transparent, so their underlying photo background could better blend with the runway.

They claim this for an empty map. Any decent mission and a full fidelity aircraft will require more for a smooth gameplay. And God forbid if you're running anything else in the background (like a browser).

Well, I have them all, and simply symlinked those I don't regularly use to a slower disk. No point in having older maps like Caucasus, PG and Nevada on a fancy M.2. There is another problem with these "new-gen" maps tho: they're quite RAM-hungry. With Syria you can almost get away with 32 Gb. Afghanistan and Iraq simply demand 64 Gb.

Not at the moment. ILS is not yet installed even on aerodromes that have it in real life.

Seems like you're missing the required mods. Most likely this one:
