man, such a disappointment for no fuzing in the latest update "Fuze parameters are now set up to use real-life values" <-- what does this mean? Instead of 0.08s delay we get 0.079s (sarcasm)? sigh.. ************ WWII Weapons. Reworked fuze modelling of WWII bombs and containers. Fuze parameters are now set up to use real-life values. The GUI to adjust various fuze settings is in the works. ************ They could've at least released it for WWII. The Mosquito fans plus all other wwii ground pounders (myself included) would've been super happy.

This past weekend I saw a bunch of folks on Normandy Wolfpack server(s), around 30-40 folks at night (Eastern time). During the week it's pretty much 4-8 players on whichever server happens to attract the most attention.

reading your commentary is exciting. but all I'm waiting on for now is the delayed fusing so I can do some proper low level bombing runs in my favorite wwII bird without blowing off its wings.. If ED doesn't include delayed fusing in tomorrows update I'll do something drastic. Like not play DCS for couple of days. Sigh.

Reshade 6.0 gets native support for OpenXr
peachmonkey replied to speed-of-heat's topic in Virtual Reality
can you possibly point me to the "forked foveated vrperfkit" ? I found the regular one on github, but where can I find the forked one? -

ED acknowledged it in this thread: -
constant new expert-abbreviations/ED statistics of their playerbase?
peachmonkey replied to D4n's topic in DCS Core Wish List
finding the proper abbreviation in the context of the text is the challenge, not the lack of effort. The centralized location of all related abbreviations is a wise approach. -
I know this isn't a fix per se but I use it in P47. I mapped a button for 'move pilot down' or something like that in the bindings, so when VR view is too high it's very easy to adjust it by pressing the button.

correct as-is The engine does not overheat
peachmonkey replied to oreste's topic in Bugs and Problems
wow.. this is cool.. i've never seen it reach such high temps! .. So those louvers (sic?) can actually be used for their purpose to cool off the motor. But the engine won't die, that's for sure. I once ran it with 0 oil pressure for 25 minutes flying back from Dover to Dunkirk ... -
correct as-is The engine does not overheat
peachmonkey replied to oreste's topic in Bugs and Problems
in the Russian forum I read that ED introduced a new engine cooling couple of updates ago, however I haven't seen anything in the release notes... not sure if this guy is making stuff up, however he's very active in WWII modules.. translated: Somehow "quietly" the process of adding a new cooling model for piston engines went through, IMHO the question is actually very interesting and important. I would like to ask Dmitry Yo-Yo (if there is time and desire) to describe (as was done as usual for engines and systems related to them) what is the meaning, differences and basic principles of the new cooling model -
thank you very much for a prompt response, @BIGNEWY !
-
yup, you're not alone. The last update screwed up the trim axis for p47 big time. @NineLine doesn't respond to any request to look in to the issue. The update had zero to do with WWII modules but somehow messed it up so bad I don't understand how is that even possible. @BIGNEWY are you guys going to acknowledge this at all?

peachmonkey replied to Cool-Hand's topic in Bugs and Problems
i secretly hope they've fixed it but didn't mention in the patch, however I have to wait another 8 hours to try it out ... fingers crossed -

so ED releases a hotfix but doesn't address the P47 axis that got broken with the last update.. What gives, @NineLine ? -
oil temp gauge breaks during warm-up
peachmonkey replied to twistking's topic in DCS: P-47 Thunderbolt
yup, like @grafspee said it's a CB breaker failure, look on the CB panel (near left foot), you'll see one of the buttons extending out (top right corner of the panel). Just push it down. to prevent this from happening make sure not to twist "Instrument light" rheostat (#9 on the picture) all the way to the right, i.e don't set it at 3 o'clock (i.e. max), instead set it at 2 o'clock. -
there is, but it works a little bit differently from other warbirds 1) the main fuel pump is turned on when you select the fuel tank 2) there's a booster fuel pump, which is controlled by the rheostat on the lower left panel (# 3 on the second picture) None of them introduce the RPM fluctuations, I've tested it when I discovered the open primer handle rpm issue..
-
yes, it needs to rotate to the right (clockwise) to be closed.
-
this may be an unrelated hint, but I remember seeing a post from Yo-Yo warning the pilots not to drop the RPM's below 2,000rpm whilst the throttle is in max continuous/WEP, indicating that the ignition timing will be totally messed up resulting in severe detonation leading to a full on engine seize.

I never had any issues with climbs in this bird. I keep it in 2600/46" zone through out + Auto Rich mixture. Come to think of it I've never used Auto Lean ever.. Never had a problem you guys describe. Dials stay in the blue/green and this baby pulls nonstop.

Why P-47 is so much harder to control than P-51?
peachmonkey replied to brucewhf's topic in DCS: P-47 Thunderbolt
P47 is a pleasure to fly with vkb gun fighter pro, no curvature needed for me.. now, for Mosquito i had to put a 20% curve. If you think P47 is twitchy in the pitch axis give Mosquito a try... -
cool story! I noticed that the fw190 Anton 8 can travel much further on an engine with no oil pressure than P47. Feeling that A8 might still have some bugs to be worked out I love P47. One thing that stands out the most to me in P47is when you go to external view (F2) and turn on the cockpit lights you can actually see them come on. A8 doesn't do that. D9 doesn't either, nor any other birds...

peachmonkey replied to Cool-Hand's topic in Bugs and Problems
hi, @NineLine can you possibly take a look at this report? It started after the last update, and specifically for P47. I've opened another thread on the issue the controllers section: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/292195-saitek-x55-axis-for-elevatoraileronrudder-trim-only-moves-50-in-cockpit/#comment-4883802
