We're blessed to have so many legal experts who enjoy flying in DCS...where would be with them, and the self entitled consumers too... ? And in the mean time, Razbam modules are still very much enjoyable.

Nope. No GM1 tank fitted. Double nope. See above.

Since that is the reference material for the approval of GM-1 at 80gr/sec in the BMW801D2 engine it says EXACTLY what I have told you. And for the third time: LOL. Okay let's walk you through it using the specific instructions from Focke Wulf and BMW. 1. What is the only engine the FW-190A8/R11 came from the factory with? A. Chevy 350 V8 B. Lycoming O-360A1A C. BMW801Q (BMW801TU) *hint - its the same motor found on the NORMAL FIGHTER Variant that crashed in England in August 1944. You know the airplane that wasn't an R11... The FW-190A8/R11 operated by II/JG301 for example: https://www.ww2.dk/oob/bestand/jagd/biijg301.html 2. True or False "The BMW801Q engine came equipped from the factory to use GM-1" A. True B. False It's an open book test so I will give you a hint: *GM-1 is mentioned right here in the Engine Installation manual...the document the guy picking up a wrench uses... How do we know this was ground reality? Well, we have an airplane with this exact engine equipped from the factory to use GM-1: The British conclude it was equipped to use it.

We have fixed this issue as described below. Take into account that this will only be available in a forthcoming DCS update: - Cockpit livery selection was added to the module options. It returns the ability to use custom cockpit liveries. In particular the "Mirage F1 English Cockpit CE and EE version" user mod. Note that the mod contents should be modified by renaming 'default' folders to 'english'.

I'm struggling with JDAM delivery using MT mode with the new pod. I have multiple targets selected in point track, so all have the square around them, with one with the circle, that stage has worked well... Once within range, I release a JDAM, then TMS right to cycle through the target list, and see the circled target does indeed move, together with the crosshairs. However all the JDAMs. hit the same target. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if this is a bug. Can record a video of this in a bit.

Well, I've also had some slight lags during flight without using the UI or doing anything which seem to also be dependant on multicrew. But apart from that, it's just the HB UI

Court System, Is not limited to actual use of the Court Rooms, Trials, etc. But if we want to get technical, Mediation is prolly the accurate term for the current phase. Something like:

So this was posted on Friday, July 25 and the sale lasts only until Monday July 28. Seems a bit weird to call it a "midweek" sale!

Thats why we are here waiting for the outcome.

I’ll take your word for it, I don’t AAR in aircraft that use this. What part of that is broken exactly? I still see the lights there in your screenshot.

Is only the HB UI lagging but the rest of DCS works as usual and without lag? You might be running into this rare issue that we had before launch, causing the delay of the release. Which was then fixed for all testers. Mh, odd stuff.

Seems like Chuck's Guide IS the official manual.

Perhaps they should stop advertising that it has English documentation then. Thank goodness for the Chuck's Guide on this module.

It's broken man.

I've figured out a workaround: right after the helicopter spawns, use the trigger "Set Internal Cargo On Unit" as quickly as possible to add some weight to it. The weight shouldn't be too large, but it needs to exceed the takeoff load. In ME, set WP1 very close to WP0 and set the "Perform Task - Land" action to the position where you want it to wait on the ground, along with setting the "On land" duration. Then the helicopter will stay on the ground with its engine running and wait. It might even keep its cargo door open. If you want to end the waiting state and take off, just set the takeoff condition in the "Condition" section and remember to remove the extra weight. By the way, the extra weight may prevent the helicopter from performing the "Embarking" task properly.

Nah, still waiting for my delivery, might take more than 1 month

Change the channel, your brain is stuck on GM-1, LOL. It's not a mystery. The instructions are very clear. The equipment is very clear. It was approved for the 80gr/sec use in July 44. Definitely, every FW-190A8/R11 came equipped to use it. It's use in the BMW801D2 engine was approved but not recommended. The BMW801Q and BMW801S series came standard with it. Drawbacks: 1. It's heavy and unlike the normal 115 liter fuel tank, you are not using it up while you fly to the combat zone thereby decreasing your weight. Fuel is more useful. GM-1 gives you no viable performance boost unless you are operating in the Altitude band above 8km and there it gave the FW-190A8 a 58kph increase in speed at Climb and Combat Power. Below that, it is just extra weight. 2. It cannot be readied the night before or allowed to sit for long periods. It must be filled and used within a 6-8 hr time frame. It will leak out of the system. Therefore, your alert flights have to be filled just as they come on duty and the system pressure monitored. This was a huge problem for the British as their transit times to the combat zone were much longer. 3. It is extremely flammable and Liquid Nitrous requires special handling/equipment. The Germans used Liquid Oxygen daily which is even worse so unlike the Royal Airforce at least the Ground crews were already familiar with the procedures and equipment for handling such HAZMAT. The fill ports for the Liquid Nitrous were external and it could be done directly from the portable fill tank cart. You just plugged it in and open the valves to pressurize the system. Those valves must O2 clean and not come into contact with any Petroleum based products just like every Pilot O2 Oxygen system in existence no matter if is liquid or compressed. BTW. There are many more BMW801Q engines and BMW801S engines in existence today than there are BMW801D2's. The BMW801D2 is extremely rare to find and it took years of searching to find one that could be rebuilt for White 1. Guess what motor is Displayed at the BMW Museum: Notice the Rocker Box Housings modification to simplify maintenance and Exhaust Routing for Cylinders 9-10... BMW801D2 for comparison, Notice the Rocker Box Housing: Notice the exhaust routing on Cylinders 9-10: Here is the FW-190A8 that is on display getting ready for display. Notice what engine it has....

Thankfully wwiiaircraftperformance is back online! http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/fw190/td284.pdf Blatt 2: "[...] Zur Zeit ist jedoch für die Großserie der Fw 190A-8 nur der Einbau des zusätzlichen Kraftstoffbehälters eingeplant." Blatt 3: "[...] Der Einbau einer GM1-Anlage anstelle des Zusatzbehälters im Rumpf ist grundsätzlich möglich, jedoch für die Baureihe Fw 190A-8 nicht gefordert. Der Einsatz erfolgt in Höhen ab 8km und ergibt einen Geschwindigkeitsgewinn von ~58km/h bei Steig- u. Kampfleistung." No mention of GM1 equipment for Rüstsatz 11 (Blatt 4).

I'm not saying you can't somehow, but that would be news to me. I suppose you could try setting the entire Walkman dir to Ready Only, that might do it, but I don't recall anything about being able to have multiple folders.

@CF104 I'm quite sure OP's comment is not about engine reaction time to lever being pulled to cutoff, but more about how fast the prop comes to a stop. There's some inertia in this big prop and, looking at vids of restored 3-blade Corsairs, it takes between 8-9 seconds for the prop to stop. In module right now, the complete animation finishes in half of that time. Not a deal breaker issue, but something worth tweaking a bit in my opinion.

Sure can @BIGNEWY. The 'meat and potatoes' of all three of the WW2 planes with the upgraded suspension is pretty much in this post. I understand that 'tracks' are not really replays but they are my/our only means of referencing things that we've done/not done during Missions etc and also to make videos from. In my case, often to illustrate custom skins and the like. I have put a couple of tickets in about it and also removed ALL Mods etc, all to no avail. You'll find tracks and videos of the problem here anyway and thanks ever so much for your reply. Here's hoping...

lol, oh ya, forgot about that one... have also run into that, usually trying to refuel/rearm somewhere mid-mission.

It was the AGM-88D that got upgraded to have GPS and ability to engage targets after turning off their radar - not our AGM-88C (which to my knowledge only used radar homing) Just tested in POS/EOM just toggle launch too - ripple them all within a few seconds and then turn off the emitters - still precise hits from 35+nm This does make all IADS systems / Skynet etc. a bit pointless (since if the harm will hit anyhow, no point going silent) - and didn't used to be the case (else these projects wouldn't have existed!)

@-Scrat- I'm on it. I'll publish here the list of all affected aircraft and make separate reports for devs (some modules seems to be OK: A-10C, F-16C, AH-64, AJS37...).

Well that should certainly be fixed if it’s broken, then the graphic overlay wouldn’t be needed. It looks visible enough here although this was two years ago
