Could also just as easily be a Ki-43 Hayabusa... Which were all over. Including the Honey-Hole Solomon Islands. Bowie

W/ Antisotropic Filter at 16X... Instant Action P-51D V. FW-190D9 Up close, damage textures reflect damage. As range increases, damaged parts disappear. Bowie

Computers - can render anything they want to. So why not RW? Bowie I use the default [Enter] setting. Bowie

Can stand in the road in front of my office, and look down it to an elevated highway exactly 1.25 miles away. Can distinguish motorcycles, compact from full size automobiles, including color. Can almost read the writing on the side of a semi-tractor trailer. Could distinguish type and attitude of a War-Bird fighter easily as well. In DCS it's a speck. Bowie

Mission Debrief - Hit/Round/Type/Number Info... ...was removed with the latest? update. This feature is sorely missed. In War Birds, It provides not only the quantity, but the quality of hits used/needed to knock down particular A/C. Hit counts in the 20's meant good shooting, hit counts in the 60's meant sloppy shooting. If possible, please bring it back. Thanks. Bowie

That may be. But never had to zoom CFS2. 3-5 mi. was still a discernible A/C. A speck at a mile just isn't right. Have flown through furballs that were just a few thousand feet above or below me, and was not able to see them. Had to use the map/altitude cheat. Bowie

I'm gettin' about 1.4 miles on a warbird w/ 4K. Should be 2-5 miles. Bowie
-
Well... That would have to be the Bf 109 K-4. ... because they are tough to beat in the P-51D. Bowie

Like the sound of that. See people zooming all the time on vids, like cyborgs. Call that cheating. But a visual range of 1.4 miles on a warbird isn't right, either. Bowie

Bigger fireball and more smoke when crashing into the ground
Bowie replied to Tree_Beard's topic in DCS Core Wish List
The inflight burning engine smoke is twice what the burning fuel is. Just make it more persistent, say 15 seconds instead of 5. Bowie -
Yes. Need somethin' to feed the F4U-1D Corsair. 8>) Bowie

Not sure if this is the same issue or not - but the aircraft are not visible (w/o zooming in) past ~ 1.4 miles. Fly mostly War Birds on Realistic, and I don't use labels. (nor am I a cyborg w/ zoom-able eyeballs, so I don't use that function, either) The 28" 4K monitor should render War Birds visible at 3-5 miles. I use the 1x [Enter] key as default. Same problem? Thanks. Bowie

A more persistent burning smoke trail, say, 10-15 seconds, instead of the current, what, five? TIA. Bowie -
First off, Thanks for your recent addition of IA Missions. But IA/Quick Combat - is probably over 50% of my DCS flying, especially in the War Birds. If there is 30 minutes free - that is how it is spent - honing my skills against the Dora. A One-on-one for the Bf 109 K-4 and Fw 190 A-8 would be greatly appreciated as well. And maybe Two-on-one and Two-on-two for that matter. IA/Quick Combat is the Octagon when it comes to War Bird ACM. Decades of CFS2 taught us that. Thanks. B/RE: Bowie

To the point that he is not used. Yes, please. Bowie

This is my gripe. Running 28" 3840 × 2160 (4K) monitor and [Enter] zoom setting. (Will zoom to read gauges) While everything is sweet in a boil - detection on merges at similar altitudes is ~ 1.5 miles, and maybe 2.25 mi. in the plan view. Which means a 5,000 ft difference in elevation of a grey plane in a grey sky, or a green camo plane over the bocage of Normandy, is all but invisible. The grey NZG A/C will sometimes disappear just on the zoom climb. Find it necessary to use the map to intercept or reengage if drawn away. Flew w/o labels for decades w/ CFS2, and never needed that. Five-Ten mile visibility was pretty reasonable. Won't use the zoom, and refuse to use the labels. Size at Distance - is a Squared function. DSC - acts like it's linear. Bowie

When the music stops - the P-51D Prop Does Not Automatically Feather. Should it? Or was that just for multi-engine. Thanks. Bowie
