But the p51D is same generation as k4. The Spitfire is 43 model. So those are apples and oranges. That said as long as the AI goes into a turn fight you'll always win in a Spitfire. But that's not the point. The point is to have the correct German aircraft for historical missions and campaigns. The k4 was used late late late 44. Didn't actually fight over Normandy or channel front at all.

The G models(Except for 10/14) were quite a bit slower than Spitfire and P47. The K4 is like 100kmh faster than the Spitfire in DCS. So to simulate the G6. A major speed/power nerf is needed for the K4. In 1943 flyia MkIX you shouldn't have to much trouble overtaking any of the 109s or 190s you'd meet. In DCS you'll never catch a 109 Except in tight turns. You can't even turn off the MW50 in the k4. As it seems the AI always use the MW50 even if you remove it.

And the viking/BvS10

109G is the most important. So we can have actual somewhat realistic scenarios for 43 to 45.

I have to be very very careful when flying helos in Afghanistan. 1 minute in any wrong direction and you'll end up surrounded by low texture and terrible geometry. Most of the terrain along the Helmand river looks terrible. While on Syria i can fly any helo almost anywhere for more than an hour and not encounter a single part of the terrain that looks off or wrong

Not sure they are developing it. Or planing on developing it some time in the future. They have said they want to add it. But i don't think they have actually started on the process.

Wings don't fall of as there really isn't any wing damage modeling except for ailerons falling off. In reality if you fire of a few 20mm into the wing of German aircraft, they wing would Not stay off. A single 20mm Hispano round delivers around 90 000 joules in kinetic and chemical energy. Compare that to around 3000 joules from a rifle caliber bullet. DCS also doesn't stimulate wing ammo detonating. In the book tail end Charlie. A p47 gave a short burst with its .50 cals and the wing of a 109 or 190(can't remember which) fell of instantly. That just can't happen in DCS.

I'm sure it's "correct as is" and that's just how the F16 works. But it does seem to be needlessly complicated. Say I want to CCIP bomb a target. But I want to make a point at the target with the tpod to have a better target to aim at. But I can't do that in CCIP it seems. So I have to go to ccrp, make a point then back to ccip.

It has quite a lot of problems. Airfields not working right. Bridges that can br destroyed. If you look at the Sinai map subsection on this forum. You'll see quite a lot of frustratiated players.

Preformance.

Rain is terrible, snow is horrific in VR.

I don't think DCS can do pure sand. I think on every map I've checked there is shrubbery a foot in the sand. And no true sand dunes.

A squadron of P-51s are returning from an escort mission in western Germany. They've pealed off the main formation. As the mission didn't meet any enemy aircraft. They all got 1800 rounds of .50 cal to do damage to the German war effort on their way home. They encounter a similar sized formation of Focke-Wulfs north of Paris. The P-51s has the advantage of altitude, position, and quality of the pilot training. They dive down on the Fockers. It's a blood bath. 14 of 16 Germans shot down to the loss of just 1 P51. The P51s even had time and ammo to waste on some German locomotives and railcars.

Easiest way I guess would be for ED to add a trigger. That stops GPS bombs from tracking within a trigger zone. Then really any unit can "GPS jam"

I light up a FW190A8 (Kraut-3) He then continues to fly his burning aircraft, for several miinutes, his props is feathered and he is happy sitting getting roasted. He then decided to try and land in the middle of Paris only to futilely attempt to bail out way way too late. good old combat-20240730-141822.rar

I assume DCS needs core updates for the flachetes to work. I assume DCS needs proper fragmentation effects for flachetes to work. There are many aircraft in DCS that did use flachetes. F4 used them liberally in Vietnam, so did AH-1(not that we have that in DCS, but one can hope)

I saw that easy com was on and turned it off. Problem was still there. But a restart fixed it. The odd thing is I flew the apache and F16 after the update and there everything was normal. No easy com. So it's all a bit confusing.

I've bound the Push to talk radio menu, the button on the throttle goes in as I push, but no menu comes up The Default communication button works, but I've always used the Push to talk (radio menu) and it has worked, now it dosn't

Bloody day in Lashkargah

Changing minor flight model stuff can't be that hard. Flight model changes each time you add or remove weapons from an aircraft, that happened in all DCS models all the time. The wing is still mostly the same shape. So nothing drastic is happening. It's mostly 3d work. Same with the gunsight. The Mk II gyro is basically the same the k14 in thr 47 and 51(k14 being just an American version of the mk ii) so it's mostly 3d work and some coding to adapt the gunsight to the ammo used by the spitfire. Not saying it can be done over a weekend. But hardly a new aircraft. From my understanding our spitfire is already a bit of a frankenbird. Originally being a MkV upgraded to MkIX. But missing many standard MkIX features both visual and practical (I've been told standard mk XIs had bomb arming switches etc)

Smoke should also be affected by jet wash and prop wash.
