I had a nightmare once that I was trapped in kindergarden...AAARGH !

Cornering speed: 270 mph (not sure if that's how its called, but that's how I remember it...) I'm pretty sure its in the book.

Comparing apples and oranges will not get you anywhere. Your CPU is current, your GPU is 3 generations late. How simple is that ? Lou

Yes, but I was using a generated mission.

In a generated mission, I dialed in a wingman. As I was starting the engine (at night), I noticed my wingman far away from my plane, starting up at the other side of the airport... I took off and it took 3 orbits on my part to let my wingman take off, but he just kept taking off and taking off... An F2 view revealed it was going at high speed across the landscape never lifting an inch! Later in the mission (about 15 minutes), I checked on it again and this time the plane was angled as if on a steep climb, with the tail half underground, still going very fast.:pilotfly::huh: He (or it, the AI), never behaved as a wingman. I tried twice to make it rejoin formation, but no response...just kept careening across the land in a straight line :pilotfly: I thought I should report it, because there are several things wrong here.:huh: Lou

The A2A P-51D startup procedure stipulates that the magnetos (both) should be switched on only when 5 blades have passed, which pulls in oil throughout the engine...while you hold the starter switch, and the primer. And, as per DCS P-51D startup procedure, switch mixture to Run. A pilot remarked somewhere that you needed 3 hands to start a Mustang...

Nope, DX11 comes with EDGE along with the Nevada update. Not so sure FC3 (and the SU-25T) will use EDGE at all, it may be only payable with the Black Sea map.

Thanks Spy Guy, I hoped there would be a way in the GUI (there should be), but editing the lua for 5 switches is not to bad. Thanks for the clarifications on the meaning of codes in the lua file. :thumbup: Lou :pilotfly:

Hey Strut, I installed my engine starting switches on the Warthog throttle, with the spring loaded ones corresponding to primer and starter:thumbup: But I have a question: The two position toggles (like APU Start), when programmed through DCS World, work for 'on' but not for 'off '. It will start whatever is linked to it, in my case 'ignition, both', but won't turn it off. I examined some lua files and compared to my lua files and found that in the original A-10C Warthog throttle lua files, there is a 'up' and a 'down' position and in the one I programmed through the GUI for the P-51D, same toggle, there is no 'up' position (which btw corresponds to the lower position on the toggles, since the standard switch model used in the lua files is the pushbutton, not the toggle). In the T.A.R.G.E.T software manual, it is clearly specified that two-position toggles are like that, and that the reason is greater flexibility. And if you try the Windows 7 properties on the throttle, the toggles work and off, no problem (APU Start/Off being #20). So my problem is that there is no way to program a 'up' position (meaning lower position on the toggle, or 'off') to those two-position toggles, when using the controls editor in DCS. Lou

With TARGET loaded (Warthog joystick/throttle), if I start DCSWorld, at first everything is normal (CMD windows opens and TARGET reports everything is normal) but then nothing more happens, and the gui never appears. Anybody get this ? Is it a known issue ? Thanks

If everybody followed the same logic, international commerce and the world economy would collapse...and the US (and Canada) with it. Other countries need jobs too and you are saying that you won't help them, but you are asking them to help you...do you see the flawed logic ? Protectionism does not make sense in a connected world. There is no equivalent program in the US currently.

So , after upgrading DCS:world, can I remove the stand-alone a-10C ?

You are probably over-trimming.

OOps sorry, I read too fast...

IAS/TAS charts depend on altitude, not on the aircraft. So if you have any IAS/TAS chart, its good.

My first landing... Slippery !, must learn not to scrape the runway with my prop:pilotfly: first landing.trk

Drivers cause the most BSODs, hardware sometimes. Trouble with a computer usually goes like this: User, Software, Hardware; from the most flaky to the least.

Yes !

You know that a pilot would not understand what you are saying...maybe an engineer, and even then...

just dowloaded the Ipad version... Wow, just wow !:pilotfly: This will make the game even more enjoyable and will make me go further for sure. Thanks

Exactly ! Ps: Thanks ED :)
