Impossible repair when damaged.

Hello sometimes you make it back to base with more a brick than a plane and you are proud of that achievement, but then it's impossible to ask for repair...What a shame, maybe something could be done about that?

Same sometimes your plane still flies but you are like a ghost (can't be seen on f10 map) ans enemies don't see you etheir.

Keep up the good work guys.

As far as I know, you can have repair only on an airfield of your calition. So if you land on neutral it won`t work.

Make sure that all home airfields are blue, not white. Also applies to rearm and refuel.

Well even when  I go back to base as I said it doesn't work.

Never happened to you?

Happened to me and some friends playing online.

When this happens, look at the F10 map.  Is your location shown on the map?  If not, it's because DCS sees the aircraft as totally destroyed, and thus will not be repairable.  

Congrats on managing to get the crippled aircraft back to base though.

Well that's the problem, and why I'm wishing dcs would be more grateful when you bring back steel home.

No one caring.

Should be moved to bug reports. Happened to me too. You disappear from the F10 map, DCS thinks you are dead. enemies don't shoot you. One time I broke off the wing top on my F16 and still had some bombs. I could fly happily to iran, blow up an SA 10 with some bombs I still had under my wings, then gunned down a few sa15s and 2S6.

As ever I don't have a track because MP.
