Duxford is about 50 miles outside the map area. Apart from that, great suggestion.
-
It's cracking me up to think Ugra's developers are Chelsea FC fans. Love the stadiums!
-
It wasn't sorted. To this day the DCS Mosquito flings its tailwheel into the runway upon touchdown, something you can easily see the real aircraft does not do. That violent tail-down pitch when the main wheels touch down is a bug. I do not think this will ever be fixed, or any of the other outstanding bugs in ED WW2 aircraft. Enjoy them for what they are but treat it as a 1990s boxed game purchase: no updates, no patches, no nothing.

Magnificent, thank you Ugra!
-
This right here. I treat it as if DCS WW2 development is feature complete and no new development is planned or expected.

And slightly more/better information on Kuhn's ferry flight to Britain: https://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2011/04/focke-wulf-190-wnr-171747-johannes-kuhn.html Assuming that Wiesbaden airfield is the same one used by today's Luftwaffe, and that his route was Wiesbaden - Aachen - Ostend - Monkton Road Farm, that's a flight of about 520km/281nmi.

Fascinatingly, grid reference wR732850 means a field about 1.5nmi west of Manston. Wonder if the AA gunners there opened up on him? There's no way he wouldn't have noticed that giant three-lane runway. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VGo2aUygNCVbCJRz8

Have you got the propeller pitch fully forward? Checked the axis hasn't reversed itself in the bindings?
-
will we be getting more planes?
Skewgear replied to Alphagamer1981's topic in Western Europe 1944-1945
Development appears to have ended altogether. Enjoy what we've got but don't expect any new releases because there won't be any. -
Press and hold for slightly longer than you think is needed, there's a bit of delay on it. Same with the Mosquito.
-
Press the starter motor button. If the engine doesn't turn over, it's seized and your only options are a forced landing or bailing out.

Fighting and operating the spitfire at high altitudes
Skewgear replied to TED's topic in DCS: Spitfire L.F. Mk. IX
The 109K-4 is a substantially better aircraft in every respect except turn performance. If it has MW50 you cannot outrun it at any altitude. If it doesn't, you have the band from 18.5k-21,000ft, and even then your speed advantage is minimal. Keep your energy up, learn to manoeuvre smoothly and without jerking the stick so you don't bleed unnecessary energy, keep the ball centred. Avoid following 109s in extended dives, a Spitfire above a bandit has many more options than at the same altitude or below. -
Maybe someone could email Avspecs and ask how the throttle cables and quadrant are set up on the real thing? From memory, the Merlin 60 series doesn't have any non-linearisation features for throttle response (i.e. cable movement and action at the carburettor is directly proportional to quadrant input). I'll have a look through the Merlin 24 manual in a bit.

DCS WW2 server with real time stats
Skewgear replied to IIIJG52_Otto_'s topic in New Damage Model Bugs
DCS collects and records all that. On 4YA Project Overlord we just choose not to display it. Other server operators probably differ.
