Buznee Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Small bug but when you call for a hover check you don't hear your voice as compared to calling in for engine start up clearance, taxi clearance or takeoff clearance. Another bug relating to ATC, not sure it handles air taxi very well. Is it normal in a helicopter to stay in ground effect when reaching the hold short line for the runway? IF so it would be nice to be able to request a takeoff while in the hover instead of having to touch down at the hold short line. If instead it is normal for the helicopter to land at the hold short line before requesting takeoff clearance then ignore this request. Another note though, if you do touch down at the hold short line and request takeoff, then air taxi to the runway and takeoff, The ATC does not seem to recognize a takeoff.

Yes it is, unless there is significant traffic delaying your departure, then you would settle for a moment. But this is at your own discretion. I suspect ATC issues being in ED's responsibility and not belsimtek's. There are lots of issues and most people agree the overall ATC within DCS World is far from realistic and deserves a complete overhaul. Otherwise it is not really something of priority.
