Nice!! I usually fly from LEJU, near Seville :smilewink:.

You're quite right mate :). Now I've take some chances on combat flying with P-51, but at first I also enjoyed P-51 only for a walk, like MSFS. Just the pleasure to see all that systems working like it's meant to be, start using the procedure like I do often (it's like a big Cessna one!!) and just fly... may be a bit a navigation, or some touch&goes... and that's all, it's just the pleasure of flying... :):) May be lot of people don't understand that, but it's the same I do in a Cessna (but without paying for it... :lol:) I'm also "very old" to flight simming and this is the very first time I feel that in a simulator, so mate, I don't mind the limited map or not having another WWII era counterpart.
S!
P.D. 1: I fully understand what you say from every simulator you comment, so don't take the chance with CloD... I recently bought it in a 3$ offer... it's the worst spent 3$ in my life, it's rubbish, they screwed things completely with FM.
P.D.:
Where do you fly? I'm relatively close to Portugal in Spain and I fly around here.In RL I fly gliders at more than 25 yrs, and I do not own any engined aircraft pilot license (not even SLG or SSG because here in Portugal it requires having ULM in your license too) -
Not if you demand a high-fidelity simulation. IL-2 may have been a super-fun game, but it is 100% unacceptable as a simulation. With such low realism, I wouldn't play IL-2 if it were the last flying game on the planet.
You say that because you should be very, very young or absolutely new to flight sims. My first "Flight Simulator" was Digital Integration Fighter Pilot in an AMSTRAD CPC464 with green screen, and since that I'm looking for a bit more (until I got my licence, yes, but even now...). Il-2 was great and the best simulator 12 years ago when it comes out. Yes, it's outdated and Oleg didn't go further with realism but in very limited details if any, but if you where one of those FS geeks looking for realism in a 8bits PC since 25 years ago you wouldn't talk like that. I look for absolute realism and I like it the most, be sure, but Il-2 is still playable :smilewink:. (but CloD is cr@%...)
S!
P.D.: Just for the record in case you don't know it, that's it...

Lamentablemente no te puedo contestar a ninguna de tus dos preguntas Mirmidón, en cualquier caso en mi anterior post estaba en modo irónico.
Sólo te digo una cosa, y puedes leer entre líneas, no pierdas la esperanza ;)
Gracias a ti por darnos esas esperanzas :thumbup:. La verdad es que es una pena que no sea a nivel DCS, pero esas capturas del Cy-27 tienen una pintaca brutal.

But it's great!! It's combat probed in many aircraft you can still fly with a wing broken like that (although I don't want to make the test myself...), but no one simulator simulates that, until now... :thumbup:

Well, manual says it can't be maintained, not it can't be done :). I also hadn't flown a real P-51 but in some common general aviation aircraft you also can't maintain a sideslip for a long time. When it can't be maintained I usually make sideslips changing one side to other (RL I mean), so you can keep runway track when she wants to go out of track because lack of controls. Have you try in DCS not if you can do it, but if you can maintain it for a long way or may be you have to change on side to other?

Mientras lo tratas de instalar, ¿no te pide la ruta a donde tienes instalado el simulador? Ese mensaje es típico de eso cuando no lo tienes en la ruta por defecto y se te olvida cambiarla a mano durante la instalación.

I got, don't remember exactly, 38-40k Yeager style as you said :), it was in Viazma cold start mission (not every "day", temperature, pressure, you can reach what you want). No track. Hard but you can reach easily with time. At that height maneuvering is difficult, you have to move stick carefully and she's like very overweighted. I did to probe supercharger stage change, and then go ahead higher. When in top I dived hard to probe high speed controls and Vne, but although I wasn't in a 90º dive (may be 45-60º) really I was unable to overspeed her. Then landed with no further notice. (it happened in a 1.2.1 game).

Not a bad idea as also FC3 is not a hardcore simulation but a simplified one and anybody screams for flying together an ultra complex A-10C and a simple A-10A online for example. Anyway I guess ED team is not so big and have other things in mind to afford something like that from scratch.
S!

Por fin salió. Viendo las capturas y aunque no esté al nivel del resto de DCS la verdad es que dan ganas de pillar ese FC3, además sólo por tenerlo todo junto en World en vez de cuatro instalaciones ya merece, pero la verdad es que duele pagar de nuevo un contenido que ya tengo 3 veces... :music_whistling: Al final acabaré cayendo...

Auto rudder option gone for me also. I auto updated yesterday, didn't notice because I don't use it.

Nice!! I had that poster... the nineties and it looks like it was yesterday...

Just a question, what atmospheric settings are you using for testing? You're talking about MP values not matching test but, are you using same atmospheric pressure and day temperature as test? If not MP can change from day to day with different pressure and temperature. And of course, altitudes will change with different pressure altitude. You have to compare Density Altitude not gauge altitude.

The question is, yes, she've less dials and systems, but she's way harder to fly as the real thing :).Recently bought A-10C and, while I'm enjoying learning how to work the plane, the thing is so complex it will be a while until I can fly it regularly. Decided to purchase P-51D to learn something with a few less switches and dials to get off the ground with until I can tame the hog.For taking off the easiest way I found while learning is follow RAF Mustag III manual I bought last Duxford (pretty similar, but have a bunch of tips and hints). That's, as you are taking-off from a long enough and concrete runway and not a grass field even at full load you don't need at all go to max military power (60" - 3000rpm), but max continuous power is enough, that's 46" manifold pressure and 2700rpm (you can get 2700rpm with pitch lever slightly behind white marks on pitch lever base). You are plenty of power and don't need more until you master her. And second and even more important, line-up runway properly before take-off run, don't use 5º right rudder trim as said in videos but 0º, nose pitch 2º forward, put power not very fast but at one time from iddle to 46 inches without doubts or messing around with throttle, and the thing, hold slightly back stick while running. That will make three things, first that locks tail wheel so you'll manage torque better (but still you will have to be quick on pedals), two, that will prevent tail to raise from ground, that's the moment were you feel she starts going side to side of the runway because torque affects you all at once (when you master her you can raise tail but not until 70mph at least), and third and as is stated in RAF manual, if you keep that until 100mph at least (no flaps) that will make you take-off in a three point attitude far easier than raising tail and will let you manage torque easily. You'll have to keep pressure in stick until she speeds up, but will get you airborne without further problems.
As said, that'll not prevent you from being profuse in pedal use (it's better to make quick movements one side to other all the time), but torque will not affect you as much as raising tail. Keep and eye on aircraft attitude, and you'll realize that when she gets nervous and finally crash is because you raised tail soon, so keep tail on ground!!
Try that and let us know :smilewink:.

Yo-Yo, download the track and take control prior to turning onto finals and see if you can get her down in a two-pointer.......I must admit that I cannot (after two or three attempts) as even the slightest touch/descent rate balloons her into the air. No problems with three-pointer however. Has to be the weather in this particular mission but even then should not contribute to such bouncing I would have thought.
That sounds like a cold high pressure and high density day (here we call that "flying on butter") when aircraft don't want to descent at all. Is atmosphere modelled to that point in DCS?
S!

What you are describing is probably a too fast landing and not performing adequate flaring. For joystick input use curves, not direct input, you set it on controls.
The problem in bouncing is probably you are trying to get aircraft to ground, and you don't have to put it on ground, but at last moment you have to try "she don't touch the ground" keep stick back, that's a flaring and it is used to slow down aircraft while inflight and not on ground with brakes or something like that. With the bouncing you have also another problem, if you bounce twice the third usually you break the aircraft, you shouldn't try to land when aircraft bounces. So, don't try to "put her slowly" on ground but let her slow down inflight while 1-2 feet or so above ground (flaring) until she doesn't fly any more and falls (watch flaring altitude!) and approach at 120-130mph, not more. With that aircraft will fall over ground with no speed so no bouncing.

Lo de instalar encima el otro podría funcionar. Pero prueba con lo de borrar la carpeta de mods (también borrarla y luego instalar encima la otra versión, porsiaca).

No se puede apañero. Al instalar un módulo ya está integrado en World y la única información de desinstalación disponible es para World completo.
Si quieres hacer experimentos vete a la carpeta mods/aircraft y borra el que quieres quitar, pero lo más normal es que luego no funcione y tendrás que desinstalar igual.

Yep, data surces are complicated, even were they are good because you don't know how that info were taken 70 years ago, so, why not simply (not so simple, I know) copy available airworthy aircraft? Everyday more and more wardbirds are in flight condition and that would eliminate any doubts about data. I don't know but, wasn't P-51 made that way?If you want to make IL2 quality planes its not so much a problem... P-51D level... it takes a little more researchS!

También es verdad... vaya chasco... :lol: :lol:

...I find it enormously rewarding to 'fly' the guns and bombs on the mission, and deliver them to the target 'by eye' - through practise, procedure & judgement - carving the most efficient arcs in the sky to get in and out of harms way ASAP, (all whilst managing a sensitive engine:)) I'm still learning don't get me wrong.
I think the WWII (/ Korea) wish lists are here to stay, so don't get 'a little tired' by them, watch this space, or tune to another frequency: I'm sure developments are coming.
Put me down for FW190 and B24

Of course I think most people have feet on ground, P-51 have been a "demonstration" (and what a demonstration...) on DCS engine and so. It lacks a lot of things for being a complete WWII simulator. But, if I have to choose a simulator WWII after P-51 I would choose DCS with no doubt because only DCS demonstrates can afford it (as engine) and can give us "the real thing" over a lot of guys out there saying during years they were doing "the real thing" but giving us "the real sh*" while we believed we flew the most real simulator out there. May be DCS to be the WWII future or may be it stands on P-51 only, but DCS way IS the way for THE SIMULATOR not a game for the first time in PC after 30 years of PC simulators, so if a real WWII simulator has to be done I wish it with DCS. Let us dream and wish :smilewink:.
And some are forgetting, with a simulator at DCS level I don't need 300 aircraft to be flown... with a bunch of them but high simulation level (don't forget you have to study and master them all to fly!!) would be enough at least for me and I'm sure for lot of people, and later time would say how many aircraft we finally have. Of course I know also many people will claim for this or that aircraft, but you have that on modern DCS also and there is no problem, isn't it? It's simple, for a high level simulation you have to "copy" a real aircraft, how many aircraft there are in TFC? Only having that would be fine :thumbup:.

I think we are not understanding between us. We are talking different things. Don't know what you fly in RL, I fly light aircraft of course (Cessna mostly) but anyway I think I cleared my point and it's a nonsense that "yes it does - no it don't" because RL operation changes from aircraft to aircraft even for same models. As said, what I explained works for P-51 and at the end it's only a simulator (and I have flown simulators many years before getting my PPL to know the arguing for "what is real" is a nonsense) so you have to do what works for you. That's all :thumbup:.
And...
Yep you are right if you want to do what you say, I didn't said you weren't at any moment. But if you haven't flown a real P-51 you are comparing to what you know (same as I do) and you don't know real P-51 inertias or brakes power. In my experience it's normal to stop aircraft applying only one full brake and it didn't means the other are working, but may depend on model, on maintenance level, on owner own taste, etc. In your experience not. But any of us have THE experience with a real P-51, so... :smilewink:Agh! Aren't there any real pilots out there who've noticed this? [looks around] Come on, guys, some input? I can't be the only one who's flown real aircraft and is noticing this weak spot in the physics.S!
