All Activity

Good to know thanks!! Hopefully fixed soon.

I’m also a plane pilot IRL and although not as experienced as you, never seen that before as well. And seemingly the airspeed wobbles is not associated with transient airspeed changes.

Are you still active and recruiting?

That's not true. The kneeboards you copy to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard are available with every aircraft and on every map - even if it's confusing, if you have a lot of kneeboards. That's an option, but you may have to reinstall the kneeboards after every DCS update. And it maybe impacts the game integrity check, if you copy the kneeboards directly into the DCS installation files.

Hi, I've sent you email about parts. Thanx

Yes, pretty much. In the SNJ, T28 and even the little 400hp T34C, when your left hand isn't doing something else, it's resting on the trim controls, which in those aircraft are knobs and wheels that allow for very precise control. The downside compared to jet coolie hat trim, is that you have to remove your hand from the throttle to make inputs. You don't trim during aerobatic maneuvers, but during cruise, climb, descent and approach, any power input or speed change, then the wheels are constantly moving to relieve control pressures. The mantra was "Power, Attitude, Trim", in that order. We get away with it in flight sims, because our controllers produce very light spring forces (I'm about to move to FFB, hopefully it will be a more realistic experience). I posted an article here that talks about the F4U having very light control feel, almost "too light", in contrast to the P47 and especially the Mustang, which was a two handed airplane due to it's heavy stick forces. There are maneuver evaluations in the article that are surprising. It describes how the F6F ran out of rudder trim in some flight regimes, requiring constant, heavy rudder inputs which caused pilot fatigue on climbs and diving maneuvers due to the fin offset typical in prop fighters.. The DCS F4U-1D will roll inverted to the left if you give it full wellie on a wave off if you allow it to get too slow. On carrier final turns, pilots report having to use right rudder in a left bank to coordinate the turn properly due to the power requried for approach. The sim seems to be in the ballpark, but I haven't flown the Corsair, nor have any of the Youtube "test pilots" who are making claims about realism, pro or con.

Добрый вечер. В последнее время замечаю что на МиГ-29С на СПО "Береза" не фиксируется захват от ПВО средней и более дальности. Точно от БУКа, т.к. видел на карте что по мне летит ракета, но сигнализации не было. Сегодня ситуация повторилась. Видео повтора. Видно что есть пуски, но Береза молчит. https://disk.yandex.ru/i/7OWUMnZkgPxy6g

Yeah, I can imagine. Must be like reverting to an older OS or something. [emoji12] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I have to trim often all 3 axis. But don't feel much torque at all. This is me slamming rpm and MP to max as I'm more or less standing still in the air. Very little danger of rolling on my back. As seen in historic film.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but are the dimensions of the Essex-class carrier correct? You can't park more than three Corsairs side-by-side in the currently modeled version, yet looking at old images online, it appears that they used to park 4 planes with space to spare. Not really complaining, just curious. null

Now at the three month point - any update apart from locking the thread and tagging it with new rotor model being created? Any timelines worth sharing? Thanks...

I Like that cockpit. Some scratches and wear but very nice readable white labels. Not too new, and not too old. Still a matter of taste of course.

All in support of having a basic altitude and attitude hold mode for all modules. Realistic, nope, but you're not forced to use it. Make it an option to enable/disable for MP servers to keep it "fair" for everyone on the server.

Any chance you could PM me your TelemFFB settings that you used to get a good setup?

I propose we wait for a fix for the naming bug before calling it a day, you never know.

It's a separate position. Looks like if you left-click the gear handle to extend it goes to brake, and right-click it sets to gear down. The brake position only lowers the main gear.

IMO it should also be in yards, not meters, because that's how it would have actually been measured. And agreed, we also need options under 300.

Looking really nice - I welcome some clearer labelling in the cockpit, even better if it can be made a bit lighter.

Всё тайное рано или поздно станет явным, наберитесь терпения.

It seems odd that US amphibious assault ships only have the LHA-1, and there are no CH-46E Sea Knights, despite the existence of AV-8B flyable mod.

Can anyone else confirm this? Is there actually reasonably accurate levels of torque? If you are constantly required to trim all three axes, that is what you get in a real world high horsepower prop.

I do not know how much the A and B version differ from one another in terms of performance, guidance and CCM, but an A version would be historically relevant for whenever the southern Part of Iraq gets released. Both Operation Desert Storm and Operation Southern watch had Aircraft equipped with the AIM-120A, although only it only saw combat in the latter.(National Museum of the USAF)

THANKS!!! Always good to know I wasn't missing something obvious. Latest manual still had the f? shown, so I didn't know it was deprecated. While I have your attention on artilleryZones, a few questions if I may - watchFlag (f?. in?, artillery?) shown as NUMBER. Does it still have to be a numbered flag, or can the usual DML flag NAMES be used? - I should just try it, but I will ask anyway: Can multiple artilleryZones use the same watchFlag? e.g. Simultaneous bombardment on 2 (or more) sites using a WatchFlag with Flag 100 Never mind, I tried it and answer is YES.. and the new artilleryZone.lua works perfectly!

I could not agree more with julpeuz! I've been flying IRL since 1973 and have accumulated over 11,000 hours, mostly in helicopters and have never witnessed that kind of defect in those type instruments. As opposed to Havebug, I find it very annoying, especially given that there doesn't seem to be any good reasoning behind it.
