I assigned a TRANSMIT keybind which brought up the same (looking) COMMS menu as before but this time I received a reply! The same with contacting my wingman! Many thanks! I can assure you however that this has not been necessary in the Viper before 2.9! Again, many thanks.

Ok, In the Viper you press the COMM 2 button for VHF, enter the desired frequency of the corresponding ATC and ENTER, press F12, select the relevant ATC and the relevant request, for example INBOUND... I have been using this system for 4 years without any problems, today I get no response, I have attached a track file.. As I have said this problem ONLY started today after the 2.9 update. Many thanks COMMS.trk

Thanks razo+r but this has only occurred after the 2.9 update, normally I assign 127 on COMM 2 to my wingman or in ME but also I cannot contact any airport ATC, I've been following the same procedure for 4 years without any problems but suddenly today the world is frighteningly quiet! Edit: the Viper doesn't have a PTT button as far as I'm aware.

Clearly I have missed the relevant YouTube video... After tuning to the relevant frequency and opening the comms menu and selecting ATC for the relevant airfield I get no response, nor if I set in ME a frequency of 127 for my wingman, what have I missed? Thanks in advance...

There is a possible workaround, especially if the quad point edit zone gets more nodes... Check the .miz file SA5 no fire zone.miz

I am aware of that, my point, as I'm sure you know, is that buying bigger and bigger storage is not solving what many people see as a problem.

I believe this has already been answered, create a livery manager - choice is the key word. That would suggest that your solution to all aspects of PC bloatware would be keep buying bigger storage devices...

That file doesn't exist on my installations?

I ONLY fly FC3 aircraft in re-enactment scenarios that require aircraft from eastern european countries (potentially) in conflict (I cannot specifically name conflicts without being castigated )

I disagree! It's like watching something totally new, completely abstracted from reality, you literally have no idea what will happen next, It's SO exciting!

Strange / counter intuitive ME behaviour... Load DCS Click on MISSION EDITOR Select and load a mission from the list Exit MISSION EDITOR Click on MISSION EDITOR again and BOOM - it loads an empty mission based on the last map used? Why?? Why not present you with the missions list as before??

A beautiful aircraft but one with a poor safety record and plagued with numerous problems... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-104_Starfighter#Early_problems

I have the map, I don't fly it because I find it garish, no seasons and many, many low quality textures, DCS is all about immersion, anything that detracts from that immersion is detrimental. I have all the modern maps so there is plenty to keep me busy. I will revisit the map in a couple of years to see if has improved...

This, in many ways, is a bottomless can of worms. The list things that need changing, improving, re-modeling, creating is almost endless. If you look up ED as a company it lists employees as between 100-200, so firstly it's tiny (whichever of those numbers are correct) and secondly only a proportion of those will be software developers / coders. They have an immense task in front of them so as the moderators are fond of saying, it's all about priorities. Microsoft has about 220,000 employers as a comparison...

Unnecessarily antagonistic?

Thank you for the clarification! (How disappointing!)

If you create a mission and add drawings (lines, polygons, whatever) and save it as a STATIC TEMPLATE, when loaded into another mission the drawings do not show (and yes, the drawings are COMMON) Do they ONLY display in the mission in which they were created?

Ok, thank you for your input. I did a quick test at Ras al Khaimah with a 10 knot wind speed running, in relation to the runway, N/S/E/W - 345 / 165 / 257 and 27 degrees. Each time I was instructed to use the same runway - runway 17 (actually 17 doesn't exist it's 16). The received knowledge here is that runway designation changes according to wind direction - What am I missing? Edit: I just lined up with a variety of different runways at North LV Nevada with different wind directions, each time ATC instructed me to land runway 25... Ras Al Khaimah 27.trk Ras Al Khaimah 257.trk Ras Al Khaimah 345.trk Ras Al Khaimah 165.trk

Wind direction as a DCS / ME preset or as set by the mission creator?

When you contact ATC for landing (eg Ford 1.1 inbound) is the runway allocation static, i.e always the same or it it linked to ME settings for weather? If this is NOT modeled where lies the information for which runway will be assigned for incoming / outgoing aircraft? Thanks in advance. (Apologies @BIGNEWY for my unthinking transgression!)

I didn't realise that graphics cards were exploding? I guess this is more about what the DCS users in general want rather than than what any one individual wants? Crappy cinematics seems harsh!

Although I totally understand your point, you are speaking purely from the perspective of FLYING the aircraft. Many DCSers, fly "missions" interact on servers but also are heavily into cinematic video and this area REQUIRES the kind of realism to which you refer. Venom Cinematic, Phenom and all the DCS promotional videos that showcase the sheer realism of DCS thrive on this kind of detail.

This is simply a question, not a complaint! Ground units can be placed and designated LATE ACTIVATION - VISIBLE BEFORE ACTIVATION. Aircraft (seemingly) cannot? Now I am aware that placing an aircraft IN FLIGHT with LATE ACTIVATION - VISIBLE BEFORE ACTIVATION would be counter intuitive but why not ON RAMP / RUNWAY / PARKING? I know you can designate UNCONTROLLED to kinda get around it.
