I don't see it in the screenshot, but, are you flying on an ISA conditions atmosphere? otherwise you'll never get the listed TAS. Remember, all your tests should be performed on international standard atmospheric conditions (ISA), meaning T=15º C, Pressure = 1013'25mb , otherwise numbers won't ever match.

Those are the problems you face when IA is used without checking out.

I didn't ask for anything. And my "fantastical assertions", as you saw yourself… , are just based on actual period pictures. Let me show you one more, a Navy training film, pretty low quality and still you can see scratches all over the control panel, around instruments, chipped levers, and all ,

Then again, sorry I have to correct you on this. You mean quite autistically literal but you've already attributed intentions and feelings, like arrogance, you didn't know .

Hahaha, I don't know for how long have you been around here, but I don't "think", I do KNOW as a matter of fact WHY is there that option, and that's only because some unacknowledged about aeroplanes and aviation people here is these very same forums asked, or should I say demanded, those "alleged factory fresh cockpits" because they didn't "LIKE" it. And I do know because back in time when that happened I was in those discussion and many others about the same tiresome subject . Still stand on my point, "you might like or dislike it but that doesn't make it more realistic as many, and you, say it is just because they haven't the experience of the actual filthiness an aeroplane constantly grows" Just a hint, aeroplanes gross weight is never the one said at factory, in their airworthiness certificate it must be updated every now and then because aeroplanes gain weight!! Do you wonder why an aeroplane actually gains weight over their service lifetime?? Guess… Whatever it is, you dislike worn out aeroplanes, I love them. So?

No I can't dear ac5 because those high quality color kodachrome pictures costed a kidney and half your liver back in the day so why would they take any color picture of that small unimportant detail in the first place? But apparently you haven't seen a real aircraft in a daily use, and they got scratches and stained all over very quickly, even at the factory. You know, in a war they don't pay attention to cleaning the planes before sending them to the front line . Not to mention, usually primer is the only thing used in the interiors so a relatively thin coat of primer between you and the bare metal, and that lasts really short time until it gets scratched and stained all over (primer is not even a paint and it's usually a rough finish which gets smudged easily). Anyhow, my point being, you might "like" it, or you might "dislike" it, and I'm all about respect for others opinions and likings. But you both can't pretend the "factory pristine condition" is any sustainable argument for your own likings when that doesn't match real life at all the moment you know any real life aeroplane and I've known a few to know even private modern aeroplanes get dirt the moment you take them home. Not to mention you dismiss the "museum relic" thing as it wouldn't be a reality, and you don't know the half of it, those museum relics are actually pretty clean since they are, you know, museum relics and are kept clean and unused any more… Sorry mate, "maintenance in the cockpits and aeroplanes are an oxymoron. They don't even clean the airliners you fly in, wait for the us navy to clean your cockpit… Bear in mind it's usually and most of the time ground crews who start the engines for you (watch the Corsair period training films, they say it), and that's after the pre-flight check and all which means filthy hands, clothes and boots. You can expect oil, grease, gas and all kind of filth from the aeroplane itself staining the cockpit (they aren't your house maids, you know, they don't try to keep it clean and all). Plus, that means a lot of people pass through the cockpit even before flying just for checks and all and the more people the more opportunities for the plane to get filth. It's as simple as that.

Yeah, then again I completely disagree with you whatsoever. Aeroplanes are usually the filthier thing you've known and even unreleased aeroplanes at factory still in tests are usually worn out just with some engine runs up and a couple of test flights, so they reach front line not even close to that "factory pristine" you claim to be. Actually, if something, DCS F4U-1D Corsair's skins are if something waaayyy too clean. For the record, these are your "factory fresh" examples, brand new yet already filthy even without having seen a single day of front line service,

That's interesting. Is it anything that could be shared?

Come on mate, we all crave for the MiG-21, but allow them take a breath at least

Yep, I don't receive any spam from ED or ED related stuff. At all, and I used to have a hotmail account time ago which is horrible getting spam, but still not ED or DCS related. Anyhow, try to change your emails here at the forums and ED account (they're 2 different ones) for a better and safer email provider of your liking, they're usually way better with the spam.

This was the procedure I was mentioning. So long since last time I used it, didn't recall. Thanks mate

Every axis, place, angle, zoom level, everything can be changed in the aforementioned fashion to your personal liking. Just try it.

Default PoV can be easily changed and saved in any module, and this one I'm sure is no exception. Look for the procedure in the forums, I can't recall the key combos used.

Still it says 6 hours now, which matches the usual time ED release their patches. Right now there have been no plus time added. Let's just hope.

That 3D model is absolutely beautiful, stunning, gorgeous looking. Can't wait to taste it
