[DCS Issue] Jester freakout on runways

[=475FG= Dawger]

I have experienced Jester freakout when departing certain runways. 
 

I assume this is a terrain issue as I understand he freaks if you go too fast on a taxiway. 
 

Where is the appropriate location for posting specific runway locations where this occurs?

I've had him do this on airbases with multiple runways. I'm assuming it has to do with taking off from a runway the AI doesn't believe is active/primary. Probably all based on wind direction.

Jester pisses me off more every day.

It usually happens with the extra start and end areas some long runways have. Dont know the exact term right now.
And yes, its a terrain issue, these areas are not classified as runway in the map.

We are looking into it, cheers

Displaced threshold and/or overrun

I’ve had this happen at Nellis while on the runway proper - but I usually take off on 03L to deconflict with AI which tends to use 03R. So perhaps that’s the issue in that specific scenario?

There are a few selected runways in DCS that arent marked properly in the map properties indeed.

Your wife doesn't piss me off at all. 

Jester, on the other hand...love having to squirm my way into the back seat to change radar range after an engagement because he suddenly can't seem to remember how to flip that switch.

This happens to me usually if I land and take off again. And occasionally on first take off if doing it from the cold start.

Persian Gulf / Khasab is one of the places this often happens. It's the only runway there and certainly within the actual runway area.

You might be on to something. Jester freakout on first takeoff after Cold start was the pattern I saw as well.

There are a few runways in DCS maps that have these issues because they are not marked properly as "runway" in the map data.

We are looking into ways to mitigate the issue. But ideally it would be fixed by the map authors.
