Gelendzhik RWY 01/19

[CougarFFW04]

Hi,

 

Gelendzhik runway is supposed to be 01/19 (as in RL) and per ATC

 

but is oriented 35°/215° in game.

 

Bug ?

 

Thanks

Historical change. You can see remnants of the old runway https://www.google.com/maps/@44.572491,38.0138129,1561m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en which was about half as long as the new runway. DCS has the 1nm long runway instead of the modern 2nm long one.

...and before you start other threads on similar subject ;), keep in mind the map is supposed to represent more or less how the region looked like in early to mid 2000s, so some of the airbases present on it either don't exist in RL anymore, or have been heavily redesigned since then. Gelendzhik is one of examples.

Hi,

 

 

Nevertheless shouldn't this consider as bug when :

- the runway marking is 01/19 but is oriented 04/22

 

- the ATC tells me "clear to land RWY 01" and the runway is oriented 35°

Ah, missed the ATC part. I checked and yes, you're right.

 

Looks like during the map overhaul for v2.5 someone decided to update ATC (and runway texture markings!) to match new layout, while the base still represents the old one. We've got an interesting Frankenstein-nonsense-of and-airbase then.

 

Well, you'll either have to ignore the geometric heading, or ignore the ATC and markings. Choose one that works best for your airplane :D.

Yes I can.

 

 

But isn't it the place to post bugs that are supposed to be corrected ?

 

 

Thanks

You're right again. However, being a relatively new guy here, you probably haven't noticed yet that within this franchise, customer's idea of what and when is supposed to be corrected is often very different to producers' idea, unfortunately...

 

By all means, post your observations. Will they be acknowledged, though and where will the issue land on fix-priority list, remains to be seen.

You are right, I am new and do not know at all about DCS ideas about bugs...

Let's hope they will put this on their todo list. It shouldn't be something critical to fix...

 

 

Thanks anyway :thumbup:

Gelendzhik maybe since february on the todo list, with aircraft carriers also: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=201558

Hi,

 

 

I didn't see it.

Let's hope this will be corrected sooner or later...

 

 

Thanks
