I would say some, not many, it is not the norm, tricycle gear represents the vast majority of PPL training, even back when I did my PPL (late 90s), nobody was offering tail draggers

True but the OP's message here is focussing on making DCS more user friendly for the newbie / beginner, neither of the 2 free aircraft supplied are user friendly. The SU-27 (for example) is much easier to take off, fly and land. I think that is a given but wasn't it you that said "Took me over 200 flight hours to get confident and combat ready" ? That kind of time frame is unlikely to encourage new blood.

This! Tail draggers are notoriously difficult to take off and land and TOTALLY unsuitable as a first-time trainer platform. (The P-51 was the legend BTW) @draconus Can be a beast to land with tyres made of paper-mache! I think this is one of the points being made re. not beginner friendly... I have never understood why the ED website is, initially, so user unfriendly, yes, when you know where everything is and what the links mean / refer to (Texture templates?) all is fine and dandy but as a first time user?

.trk file fails to load with 'unexpected end of track' error
buceador replied to buceador's topic in General Bugs
Fixed in the last update! -
76.4 percent of statistics are made up on the spot! However... I think ED have stated in the past that the majority of DCS users are SP.

Severe loading performance issues with 2.9.16
buceador replied to Nightstorm's topic in Game Performance Bugs
Forgive the ignorance but what constitutes a 'signed plugin'? Can you give me an example please? Thanks -
Static Templates vs Selected Groups with Statics.
buceador replied to Weta43's topic in Mission Editor
I understand that there are probably better options but in the interim the COPY / PASTE option does work ( I tried it 30 minutes ago to check and copied a mixed group from Caucasus to PG successfully) -
Static Templates vs Selected Groups with Statics.
buceador replied to Weta43's topic in Mission Editor
I'm not sure I understand correctly but... As it stands at the moment you can select a group of mixed units and static objects with the SELECT tool, then CTRL C to copy, load a different map click on desired location and CTRL V to paste the copied units? Have I missed the point? -
I wouldn't. For such a simple mission use the mission editor, select the map you want place the Phantom where you want set the phantom to PLATER and off you go!

Hurrah & many thanks!

Same problem! Neither custom nor standard templates can be place on the ME map.
-
Ha! Hurrah! Thank you!

Ok, all done. No change. Sequence: Load DCS from bin-mt dcs.exe Mission Editor New Mission Caucasus Select (in this case) F-16 Place on map Select PLAYER Create 1 waypoint Save mission Run Exit Save track Watch track or simply Watch track without saving - result is the same As mentioned earlier, I have repeated this sequence for 5 years and created over 500 videos using the saved track combined with nvidia shadowplay without ever seeing this issue. Looking at the log I see that 24H2, which is recent, is parking logical cores - I will turn this off again and retest. May 22 track test.miz LastMissionTrack.trk dcs.log
