Training Lesson 2.2 "IFR flight" bug with weather (wind)/ runway direction.

Hi,

currently training mission 2.2 "IFR Instrument flight" seems broken. The mission briefing and setup is made for a departure and ILS approach in a easterly direction (RWY 08 in briefing, but in DCS F10 map its now called RWY 07).
However now at mission start instead you are put in take off position in a westerly direction on RWY 25. I think this is because of the wind direction in the mission.

You can of course backtrack on the runway and still depart in easterly direction. However the next problem comes later in the mission. You are supposed to fly an ILS on  RWY 08 (07) , but the ILS is not switched on (by the airport) and even if you set the correct frequency in the cockpit you receive no ILS indications , again probably due the wrong wind for this mission. In DCS the airports seems to switch off the ILS on a runway if the wind direction favours use of opposite runway direction.

So you cannot really complete this mission in the current DCS version.

 

Would be nice if this can be looked at . Could be very confusing for less experienced virtual pilots.
Thank you.
