It's odd. I flew with a 20cm extension with my winwing Super libra. And with that i never felt the need to use curves, even on the Spitfire. Sure it was more sensitive than a p51. But it's supposed to. Once I moved on to a FFB stick. Even though it was shorter (some 7cm extension) I again never felt the need for curves even on the Spitfire. So it's really odd that this aircraft twice the weight of a Spitfire should be more sensitive on the controls theb a Spitfire. I've never read anyone describe the Corsair as having anything sensitive at all. More the opposite. That it was a brutal machine. Hard stepping on rudders to control etc. Yet this feels like a slightly badly controlled Spitfire.

I continuously work the rudder trim. But even a 5knot speed change changes the rudder trim completely. And if you add 50-100 knots like in a shallow dive the aircraft goes sideways not matter how much trim or rudder i do.

I assume after 1+ years of fine tuning the flight model, this is correct. But it feels very odd. As even a shallow dive giving moderat speed increase causes the aircraft to go extreme out of trim. And you end up flying almost sideways and making it very hard to hit anything on the ground with guns, no matter how much I try and compensate with rudder or trim.

Doesn't seem possible. Honestly both the Spitfire and P51 are far harder to control. I've slammed the throttle forwards and back. And only slight rudder is needed to keep it under control.

Just visual as far as I know.

Is prop governor the same as propeller RPM? There is a propeller RPM +- bind in none axis, but in axis only the Prop Governor

I get this after I updated the server yesterday and installed WW2 Marianas. Quick repair didn't do anything, so I'm doing a slow one, I would be rather annoyed if I had to install it again(and since several maps are missing from the install, I have to manually install them again too.) Edit with slow repair I get this And this logautoupdate_log.txt

You'll need a lot more assets first. And i thin Marianas is way way to small as a stand in for Solomons. It might be a stand in for other islands. But it doesn't have a lot of dry land.

Love we finally have a warbird with this. But is it in feet, yards or meters.

Not sure why they use the 190 for zero. Ok. It lools vaguely like one. But it's flight characteristics is opposites. The Spitfire behaves much closer to the zero. Being a turn flighter.

It's over 24 hours since they added an extra day. So not news for us with no life who keeps close eye on it.

To be fair, as far as I know. No other combat simulators have this feature either. AI had always been able to do a Souron and their gaze pierce cloud and flesh.

It's the same people that added nukes to the MiG21, lets just hope the Bat bomb get actually graphical effects.

I'm less excited about the sniper pod then I was. It doesn't appear to be any major advantage over the lightning we have. A bit better zoom and resolution perhaps. But smaller FOV. And no major improvements in features. From what little I've found online about the lightning vs sniper

Would be cool. Not only for the Corsair. But for a tiny bit more namish real estate. However if we get the Corsair and carrier. There is a couple of empty islands up north on modern Marianas I can place some stuff to blow up. For a few weeks until ww2 Marianas shows up.

I wonder if those Japanese light tanks/ Tankettes can be damaged by .50cals

My understanding is that only the first few units would be free. While later assets would require you to buy the SA map. But that doesn't really matter now. Since we probably won't see any more SA based assets.

I doubt they'll add any new infantry units until the current new modern US and insurgent infantry is done. I assume they are making animated "skeletons" that will let them add different 3d models over them. Letting them use those new more realistic animation on all kinda infantry types. Basically making new 3d models and attach it to the animation "skeleton " I do hope this is their plan and I do hope those new infantry models can come soon. So we can get more infantry models for all periods and regions (cold war, Vietnam, ww2, middle east etc etc)

I was scud hunting in western Iraq in a 2 flight of F16s. I had mk82s and my wingman CBU87s. I attack the target. Keeping several thousand feet up to avoid the nasty AAA and Manpad threat. My wingman on the other hand. Flies just 1000 feet over the target area at 400knots at most to drop the CBUs. 4 AAA guns and manpad opens up on him. Somehow he surives 2 manpad hits. And does a 3rd attack (this time with guns, however he never actually fire his guns) he just makes sure the manpad and AAA can shoot at him. After a 3rd manpad hit. He flies for a few minutes before ejecting because of no fuel. To spend several weeks in Irai hospitality. It would be very helpful if you could add to the AI to never go below a certain altitude during attacks.(specifically my flight) I know you can add altitude for AI set to ground attack.

From the Corsair update a few weeks ago

My understanding is both the carrier and ground units will be part of DCS core. You don't need to own the Corsair. So if you don't want the Corsair. But buy the Hellcat. You can use the Essex carrier with the Hellcat

This is mostly for 16/18. When I want old school helment. I want my wingman(s) to use the same. As of now he looks stupid, flying around in that ugly JHMCS, while I'm sporting the classic sleek helmet. Same with the countermeasures. Now with the DTC. At least make the flight use the same as you, even if pure AI flights can't.

I think it's coming right away. I think it's been done for quite some time, just waiting for the Corsair.

Landing will be even more interesting...

I think we all should just be happy if they get the Corsair over the finish line.(which seems lie they might be doing sometime this year) we'll get to spend time crashing on the carrier. Trying to hit some Japanese tanks. I hope ED comes with infantry. As it would be very unsatisfactory if we never had the chance to bomb and strafe infantry. Or save some Marines. The island battles were mostly infantry battles. But that's for ED i think.
