PD919

It feels like a new campaign now. I loved escorting bombers all the way to Paris. One question I have though is why do you put the drop tanks on the Mustang. I rarely end up using them as by the time we make contact with the enemy I sometimes still have fuel in the fuselage.

That's a shame. Lining up on the catapult is a pain without it.

Does the Forrestal have a deck crew yet?

This campaign is better than a lot of other campaigns with full fidelity planes. It makes we wish the C were full fidelity.

Send your wingman to attack them to cheese it.

P-51D just really needs an update to match the newer warbirds like the P-47. P-51 was the first warbird. I would love to see it as the P51 is the most fun to fly. It can do everything and is good enough to win in a dogfight if you keep your energy state high.

Order your wingman to attack them and he usually makes quick work of them. I launch two 120 at max range then tell my wingman to clean up.

Unfortunately I think the general attitude on this is "get gud". Some campaigns do the AAR for you.

I think the plane is mostly done. They only have the damage model to finish. Also, I believe there is supposed to be an asset pack releasing with this and WW2 Marianas as this is the first Pacific Front plane we are getting for WW2.

One improvement for each campaign would be that Reforger 1 to have cold starts on missions not in the air, and on Reforger 2 to give you an option. To change radios and waypoints instead of Jester.

Dcs bug. Try exiting mission and pressing fly again.

Would rather have ED make the cockpit click able even if they didn't make it 100% up to full fidelity. I would like workable radios, navigation, ILS, TACAN, etc. I wouldn't even mind if they just ripped it from the A10 or F16 instead of accurately modeled. It would make the F15C fit in DCS better.

A quick workaround that has worked for me is that once I load into a mission, I test it. If it doesn't work I quit and press fly again in the mission recap.

There is a weird ground lighting effect caused by the light sources only illuminating on the ground out of one screen. If I close one eye the image looks either lit or until but will be "half lit" otherwise.

What are your next campaign projects coming up?

I bombed the bunkers. Then I bombed the SCUDs. There was no update to move to the next step in the mission. I even went down to the ground to use guns on the wreckage to try and advance.

I guess I found a small work around. If I close the mission and reload it then sometimes the TCS/Lantirn will start to work.

They are transforming it to two months with this one.

It's all well and good for marketing but with the sheer volume of F-15E content it looks like it's out. If I had just discovered DCS I'd being going to this forum wondering why my F-15E download isn't working because someone on Youtube seems to have theirs working. We are talking 1000 sub channels here too. I want a quality product more than it being rushed out the door, but if it works well enough for a content creator, it probably works well enough for people who ordered it understanding it's early access. It'll still be buggy as anything on initial release. No one will be upset about that. If someone is upset about bugs in early access that's their problem. I don't remember the Apache getting sent to that many people before release. There were maybe a few previews and Wags. If there was one or two previews and Notso's tutorials, I think the backlash would be minor or nonexistent.

Unless they release it by the end of the week/month, they all have it so early that it feels like mockery. It's mainly the videos of people like GS playing around in it. If they were dry tutorial videos, I'd feel different. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If I didn't get the extra discount for pre-ordering I wouldn't after seeing it.

I believe there is a Tomcat VR mod that makes it more readable.

Half year of the Strike Eagle

In SteamVR a lot of work went into the motion compensation to make sure the prop on WW2 planes don't artifact. Is there a way to make this happen in OpenXR. My P51 sight looks very bubbly with OpenXR. Otherwise OpenXR runs better.

2 weeks

The Tomcat's RWR seems give less notifications of getting targeted by a SAM or AI. Is this in my head or are they modeled differently?
