This is a limitation of the alternate sound API, and is out of our control.) 6:LOAD-OUT Various Ammo and Units added.

Does it have Lights? Currently it only has taxi and take-off lights nothing else. 16. Is the bleed air system fully implemented? only a basic simulation. 17. Why is there only one heat-blur? DCS only simulates 2 engines max, so no way to get blur on all now, we will check if it can be added later, for now it’s best going without any heat-blur. 18, Is there no radio after take-off? The communications is in a SDK that is for official 3rd party devs only 19. Does it have navigation? No it has been removed pending a complete rework of the waypoint capture function - Compatibility Issues - Reshade is known to cause serious framerate issues - Help Needed Knapsack said: Hello People So many of the things like PFD, RWR, CMS can be made via .lua and if anyone has the know how and would like to help making some of these things Please send @Knapsak or @Anubis a DM(on discord) and we can start talking all help is welcome and this will enable us to make the mod even greater faster.
