Awesome ... for me definitely a DCS candidate!

Hi, I was wondering how the warbirds like P-51D & FW-190 compare to the new generation of Turboprop trainers/COIN aircraft like Super Tucano, Texan and Pilatus? Of course the warbirds beat the fancyplanes in looks and sound, but what about performance? Does anyone have some RL knowledge to share?

Yes, indeed linear; the FW-190 is very responsive and extremely precise in flight. A joy to fly.

I took it for granted that the whole work on the Mig-21 was just a prep for the Phantom. Trying to argue why the Phantom is such an evidence would be somewhat disrespectful imho. :=)

Honestly I had the same impression, it takes me somewhat longer to get in the air.

Taking off in the Dora is frustrating until the moment you realize what you are doing wrong. I had about 30 crashes while I always started carefully with not to much thrust, hoping to get a "feel" of the aircraft. That was wrong: you do not have rudder authority at low RPM. So once I realized that the forward vector was my friend and I needed overwhelming forward power (and propwash) fast, I just slammed the throttle forward and then I finally got rudder response and I could "feel" the aircraft. With the amount of power the engine gives you, you are airborne in no time. It is immensely rewarding to master the take off in this bird. And OK, somehow I will figure out how to land the thing ... I hope??? Maybe I should have tried that first :=)

Some more ...

Airborne, at last! After what, 30 crashes or so? I read your post wernst and that did it for me: full throttle from the start, and right rudder/right aileron. Now I feel the plane and get airborne safely time and time again. Many thanks!

Nice, thanks for that!

Small question: which is the largest runway on the DCS map? :music_whistling:

Nice panoramic view of Greenland with GoPro in F-16

I have the same issue, but only in crowded missions where there is a lot going on. I thought it was just my PC that was to slow.

Another classic bows out: salute to the fléchette!

Anyone an idea how I can put the RTY3 and RTY4 buttons to good use? I would like to use them for selecting radio frequencies.

Could it be a factor that the Typhoon is made largely out of carbon fibre composites?

+1. Go NASA !

Thanks!

Now that 1.2.8 is out, is there a simple way to update 1.2.7 from the openbeta, our do we have to download 1.2.8 again?
