Brun Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Might be wrong on this, but as far as I'm aware all of the runways in DCS are completely flat. I'm guessing that very few (if any) are perfectly flat, it would be good to see elevation changes modelled properly where appropriate. I'm gonna take another guess and assume that the standard flight model might not have been able to cope with this sort of stuff. Is the AFM up to the challenge? Couldn't find any useful photos of the airfields in DCS, but this sort of thing is what I had in mind...

Grimes Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Some of the runways in DCS are not perfectly flat. Sogalung in Tbilisi is probably the most noticeable. I believe it is something they started doing with the airbases added with the A-10C release, but most of the airbases haven't been updated like that yet. I'd imagine on future maps or map updates the feature would be implemented. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Robin_Hood Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah, Soganlug actually looks a little like your second picture. Other non-flat airfields (but more slightly so than Soganlug) would be Tbilisi, Vaziani, Beslan and Mozdok. I think that's about it. It is easily tested in the editor map, check the elevation along the runway. 2nd French Fighter Squadron

joey45 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 :) i want this one :thumbup: Will try.....;) The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
