reported Soganlug ATC is very broken.

Following up on Virgo47’s issue related here— 

 —I tried a cold ramp start and discovered that, when I attempted to request start up, Soganlug is not in the ATC menu as a selection. TRK attached.

With a hot ramp start, Soganlug can be called for permission to taxi but there is no response. TRK attached.

And, finally, Virgo47’s issue. While airborne, Soganlug ATC can be called and you will be directed to the correct point for landing but the wrong runway name will be provided. When landing on runway 32, you will be told you are landing on 14 and vice-versa. TRKs attached in Virgo47’s thread.

Hi @Ironhand. Sometimes, DCS ATC can be stubborn, but in this case, they have a pretty good reason not to answer you.

I cannot reproduce issue #3.

 I stared at that image for 5 minutes before the penny dropped. I wonder how that happened.

Anyway, I’ll check your trk, next time I get to my computer.

Unfortunately, I don't own the F-16 and, so, can't check how your track plays out.

Here's the same track with a Su-27.

I didn't get it either first time but when you said there is something I've found out after 1 minute

Watching your track, everything is fine. The same is true if I set up a mission approaching the runway's end. However, I moved your start position so that I approached the airbase perpendicular to the runway from the west. For inbound, ATC gave me directions for a landing on 32 but referred to it as 14. (I had to take control of the aircraft because in your original recording, Soganlug was the 2nd option. Approaching from the west, it's the 1st.

Also, here are two more tracks taking off from the runway. In both, the directions for the approach are correct, but the runway number is wrong. If everything is okay on your end, then I guess that's that.

Thanks for the tracks. I did some more testing:

8kts of wind blowing to 300:

• Vaziani: runway 13 wherever you come from
• Tbilisi: runway 13 wherever you come from
• Soganlug: runway 32 wherever you come from

0kts of wind:

• Vaziani: runway 13 wherever you come from
• Tbilisi: runway 13 wherever you come from
• Soganlug: runway 14 wherever you come from

8kts of wind blowing to 120:

• Vaziani: runway 31 wherever you come from
• Tbilisi: runway 31 wherever you come from
• Soganlug: runway 14 wherever you come from

There's definitely something wrong with Soganlug. Issue reported.

Soganlug, not Vaziani

Thanks!

I understand you meant Soganlug as every third airport tested in your examples, right?

[Flappie]

Oh yes, you're right. Fortunately, this error didn't make it to my internal report.
