A short list of all my fix-wishes (ongoing)

[Michi.G85]

As far as 2024:

- No possibility to be #2 in a mission. It´s impossible to make a mission without being the lead.
- Missing radio calls even in the very old SU-25T (which may hook many people to DCS - no response)
- Missing Pilots(models) in different modules (BS3/SU25T)
- Stupid AI behaviour (going Melee and not using stand-off weaponary)
- Godlike enemy AI seeing through trees, buildings and clouds
- Terrain textures in Caucasus map look poor/old (which now with Helos is even more impartant beside the fact that its the first thing new players see)
- Civil traffic going through military vehicles because of higher speeds...
    (+Fixed?) Dissapearing shadows if object not completly visible (the shadows should remain)
- No standard of aircraft in missions - sometimes DL is on, sometimes its not. Every single time it must be set up - where is the cartradge?
- Rain effect even inside hanger, but instead...
- Jet-wash outside/behind hanger
+ AI generated calls from ground troops like from AWACS (but for ground units being reported to player)
- Flightplans are only saved for the lead flight (after switching planes the flightplan of the wingman is gone)
+ A little Animals/Wildlife to add more life to DCS - it feels kinda empty
+ Better briefings (especially in the old modules)
- Only show my active/bought modules in the main menu (instead of all)
- Success indicators. If mission successful, why no percentage of success? Thats frustrating.
...

- = Missing in Game/need a Fix
+ = Would be a great new feature

That is a problem from TDK (terrain develop kit), the map traffic has outside of any vehicle posted on the mission editor, on fact has only "attrezo", no EDMs, the same situation with the naval traffic, more attrezo without funtionality.

the Jet-Wash/Prop Wask has some new and only affect the grass and other terrain. Has no a propper phisics with affect to a buildings, making Wash dark zones.

On fact, AWACS dont control the ground units. That require other type of HQ level to get orders to the ground troops with a propper command structure.

Has cows on DCS World, but not more has added, and actualy the comunity see them as a "waste of resorces", meanwhile have other more necesary features.

I think what the OP meant in regards to ground forces and radio messages is that it would be good if ground units could be set up to report units they can see via radio, even when they are not a dedicated JTAC unit. I like that idea, because as flawed as the current AWACS/GCI system in DCS is, it would be quite sufficient for this sort of thing. Set up a radio frequency for a vehicle and it'll just list bearing and distance either from itself or from a bullseye for all units the group can see.

In regards to the cows: yes, they got a lot of a laugh, but actually, they are fun. I'd like to have a few more of those myself. Also lets face it: since when is 'community sees it as a waste of resources' an argument for ED?!
