That's pretty much standard procedure that unfortunately nobody ever explains to you. You aren't really routed to the airfield, but to the known 'reporting point' where you begin your standardized approach to an airfield's active runway. That's usually a couple of miles straight from the airfield's runway, in opposite of the landing heading, so you end up a couple of miles in front of the runway, ready for a straight in or precision approach (which, since for that you'd be on a VOR/TACAN would never require you to get an Azimuth, but I digress). That would be quite convenient if DCS implemented better ATC, right now it feels somewhat annoying. So just ignore, fly to the reporting point and hope that you'd recognize the surroundings so you can turn to final by yourself. Oh, and let's keep our fingers crossed that some day we get some game ATC that's better. Edited October 29, 2023 by cfrag 3
greyseal494 Posted October 29, 2023 Author Posted October 29, 2023 Are there approach plates somewhere in the documentation?
RedeyeStorm Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 In Caucasus I believe the kneeboard has them.
