The F4E experience has been the reason to hold on for purchase on/after release, regardless of the product. Paying the higher price for a product in hand, is for me, the more sensible option.

Guys I think I have got the hang of it now. The full engine rpm must be applied once the rudder is active. Not in the beginning while holding the brakes.

Farnborough but I tried others too without success.

The DCS mosquito cannot get airborne. I only managed twice out of the fifty or so attempts. It’s impossible negative chances of getting it in the air. Won’t happen.

Guys Thanks for the recommendations for the I-16. I may well get it next sale

Guys, Guys - I have discovered Warbirds!!! Instead of agonising over the F-4E - I am botched-take-off-crashing Mosquitos, P-47s and BF-109s in Normandy. My take off attrition rate is currently 87%.... B!tches to take off, the lot. But it is fun when you do actually take off...Besides, it sweetens the F-4E wait.

Talk about challenging. The flying the combat and engine management immersion is by far more than any modern jet. And the frustration. So many things can go wrong as well.

Well I press this charging button and there is no result. It does not seem to work.

The thing that enabled me to actually take off in the Mosquito is the elevator trim down.

Are the runways of the short fields of Normandy, sufficiently long enough to enable take offs of warbirds such as the above ??

Yes that is how I do it. Yet achieving 100 mph is almost impossible and it is just too slow to take off. I end up crashing as a car would at the end of the runway.

I do not understand how the boost is achieved. Do I need to rotate the valve which is partly obscured on the left upper of the panel? How do I boost? I never achieve more than about 80 mph during my take off roll and my tail never lifts up.

While at the same time a bit disheartening, it is totally understandable and quite frankly I expected this and had previously estimated a April/May release. I hope Heatblur can complete their project well, however long it takes. I wish them good luck with that.

I have two words for the upcoming F4E hypeware preorderware yes, i did pre order it. I even put it in my signature of owned modules. The anticipation is similar to the FSX PMDG Queen of the skies 747-400.

I think the best way to wait for the F-4 is to buy a different module. I have my eyes on the harrier.
