I fly the P47 all the time, never blew up the engine. And I never use takeoff assistance in any of the warbirds I own. I have no problem in taking off, landing or managing the engine in any of them. Yet the Corsair feels very weird, both in flight model and engine management (FM feels easy and artificial to me). I agree with Saxman, having an engine that blows up every time you exceed POH for a few seconds is far from being realistic, quite the opposite actually. And I’m not suggesting it should be easier or more “arcade” to manage. I’m suggesting it should have a more flexible, less rigid implementation; possibly with some power deterioration before the engine just dies. But as you say, it’s still WIP so I hope it’ll get adjusted. BTW, I love the F4U and I’m glad that Magnitude brought it to DCS, just trying to give some constructive feedback.

Ok, a friend of mine had this weird problem with an X65f from saitek in windows 11. I found a post with a solution that finally worked, and i thought I'd share for future reference and for anyone having problems. The symptom are that in windows, the calibration of the axes seem fine, but in dcs the axis give 100% or -100% and nothing in between. turns out the calibration process, gets stored in the windows registry with the wrong values. Deleting these entries solves the problem, or, if you need deadzones, you can adjust the values manually. the post tells you how i found it in this post, read carefully. https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=20051.0 the post describes W10, but W11 works just fine as well. As i said, i ended up just deleting the calibration entries for the faulty axis and that worked. (reboot after deleting or adjusting) you need your product id used in the registry. i found that here: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/78117-fixing-problems-with-50-or-digital-onoff-action-with-saitek-levers/ this post didn't actually work, but going into the registry there i was able to identify the needed id because the entry values said saitek. so i cross referenced that with the other post and voila!. it is also possible to just go over the registry entries and see which one has a subfolder named 'calibration' it.

Has better wait to "Whole Earth technology"...

Having access to the new route tool could help so much. Can it be done for the release?

Глядя на карту "Холодная Война Германия" от Ugra Media в симуляторе DCS подумал, что во времена СССР там были какие то полигоны. Залез в Гугл и мне сразу выдало Магдебурский полигон. Координат там не было, но были воспоминания тех, кто там служил с указанием ближних деревень. Благодаря этому я быстро нашел полигон на карте и оказалось, что в DCS он реализован. Используя редактор DCS создал небольшую тренировочную миссию для вертолета Ми-24. Изначально миссия планировалась для Миг-21, но в процессе создания появились новые идеи. Миссию для Миг-21 я добавлю завтра. Возникли новые идеи и появились проблемы с бесплатной обработкой видео. Программа разрешает бесплатно делать ролик не более одной минуты. Приходится делать куски и потом соединять их онлайн, а это очень долго. Вообще, такой ролик я делал первый раз в жизни.) Если миссия понравится, пишите свои идеи и предложения по улучшению миссии. Изначально на полигоне никого нет. Вы активируете то, что хотите через радиоменю F-10. Я рекомендую активировать Blue Platoon, Red Platoon и дождаться развития боя. Враги будут отвлечены и их будет проще атаковать. Вы получите картинку боя, как в кино. В засаде стоят еще 4 Леопарда. Можете активировать их в любой момент с помощью F-10 Leopard start. Можно активировать допустим только грузовики( Truck start). Я летал на этот полигон даже на И-16 и мне очень понравилось. Слева от вас стоят Миг-21. Их можно активировать через радиоменю в любой момент и они полетят на полигон помогать вам. Над полигоном работают 2 JTAC, они будут помогать вам обозначая цели белым дымом.

Argument 26 will have the AI open the weapons bays? I was unaware that the AI could operate those animations.

I'll throw my vote in for this one. The KC-10 has always been one of my favorites. I'll honestly take any other refueling aircraft they want.

Looking at the "Cold War Germany" map from Ugra Media in the DCS simulator, I thought that during the Soviet era there were some kind of landfills. I went to Google and it immediately gave me the Magdeburg training ground. There were no coordinates, but there were memoirs of those who served there, indicating nearby villages. Thanks to this, I quickly found the polygon on the map and it turned out that it is implemented in DCS. Using the DCS editor, I created a small training mission for the Mi-24 helicopter. The mission was originally planned for the Mig-21, but new ideas emerged during the creation process. I will add the mission for the Mig-21 tomorrow. There were new ideas and problems with free video processing. The program allows you to make a video for free for no more than one minute. You have to make pieces and then connect them online, and it takes a very long time. Actually, this is the first time I've done such a video in my life.) If you like the mission, write your ideas and suggestions for improving the mission. Initially, there is no one at the training ground. You activate what you want via the F-10 radio menu. I recommend activating Blue Platoon, Red Platoon and waiting for the battle to develop. The enemies will be distracted and it will be easier to attack them. You will get a picture of the fight, just like in the movies. There are 4 more Leopards in ambush. You can activate them at any time using the F-10 Leopard start. You can activate, for example, only trucks (Truck start). I even flew to this training ground on the I-16 and I really liked it. There are Mig-21s on your left. They can be activated via the radio menu at any time and they will fly to the training ground to help you. There are 2 JTACs working on the training ground, they will help you by marking targets with white smoke. Magdeburg Training Ground Mi-24P REL_.7z

Thanks. But it is not possible to move cursos in MT mode. I pickle JDAMs as cursor is slewed to targets. Yes, that is official information. But area track seems more precise than using MT mode. So far what we tested in my flight is that MT mode is least precise. I think JDAMs go off even a bit more than 5 meters. Maybe that is the case in real life ?

In fact, a lot of things has been upgraded, but there arre still some issues with ILS on several airfields and airports. I'm trying to make correction on the lua file. Unfortunately, I have no acces to RSBN using aircrafts at this time. If you want to share your corrections, so I can merge them to my file and share it on the user files. So We could make the best optimised beacons.lua file for both sides of Germany. Despite the fact that the devs didn't give any news about the navaids, a lot of reported bugs had been taken in account. You can take o look here about Frankfurt ILS issues And here my request about ILS issues. Of course RSBN issues and corrections are welcome.

Yeah, falling in love with cockpits in VR became my adiction. I bought modules, that I might have avoided in 2D, because of that, with no regrets though. So I go with @Killg0re NL...

Some additional perspective relating specifically to the Hellcat - this is the article I referenced above. https://rldunn.com/grumman-hellcat/ Essentially corroborates what Claringbould puts forth in his recent work.

He forgot the /j

Indeed, if it was just a matter of de/re-soldering a few chips (still not an easy diy job), I'd understand the point But having to use totally different PCB to get things to work is on a whole other level It's like turning a sedan in a pickup truck, you can't simply shove 33" wheels under your Honda Civic

This subject surfaces from time to time as sure as auto/easy AAR. I can see where OP is coming from, with valid points. Personally disk space is not an issue for me. Compared to the 20TB of baby/children videos of my daughter, it's nothing. [emoji6] Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Just stop using and forget about it. It's a relic from FC level planes, and only works with those unless you have enabled easy comms. Learn the radios in the modules. It's fun and gives you a better understanding of how everything works. Cheers!

Oh I'm pretty sure you'll get your money's worth out of it, my friend. And I'm very certain I will.

This had not been fixed 3 years ago. Engine oil, HYD Failures, and AMAD Oil had no effect on hornet. If you check Failures, since this topic is locked out, it has not been fixed See the Track and Screenshot F18 HYD AMAD oil and Engine oil had effect on Hornet.miz

Initial release IIRC, it would be very strange if they kept it SP only. Can't remember I ever read that. Cheers!

Oh my, ur lost now

Yes. It's now an neverending journey. There is no going back. Be prepared for a steep learning curve in optimisation though. Luckily there is lots of support on this forum.

Yep, my design was as close to a paper approach as I could get while still being usable in VR - so although it has the slide rule, it will do the basic calcs for you as well. But no gps, everything is manual, POI, sam locations, the lot. Fixes are placed by double tapping where you think you are - so if you don't plan well with good landmarks its easy to misjudge and get lost. I've found I can comfortably get TOT within +/- 10 seconds with this approach, with or without INS (though INS more useful higher you get/more cloud cover/night - blue ticks are at 5nm (or 5km if in metric) from waypoint so you can glance down and see where you should be up to compared to INS distance to go, and purple ticks are minutes to go as planned. I was improving fix logging and got this flight through South Atlantic in a gazelle with its tablet disabled and no INS that was cool image.pngimage.png

Good to know. Thank you for clarifying. And thank you for the work!
