No mods running?

It doesn't work for me anymore on my new computer build running windows 11. I run it and it will not find my build, mainly because gui button is greyed out... they are all greyed out.. LOL, everything is greyed out. Not sure why it's doing this but it really ticks me off, the DCS repair isn't finding anything wrong with my build, I've lost my WWII assets with this latest hotfix 7/1/25 update to the last update. Closed Beta testing at ED is extremely lacking... Okay, figured out how to do it all manually in slot 1, I tell it to update and it tells me I have the latest update, I tell it to repair and it tells me I need the latest update... Catch 22.....

I can't play any of my WWII missions or campaigns because this last update to the update has errased the WWII assets pack from my install. My license ends with LACDMH and it as old as methuselah. A long repair did not work either. I sure as heck with the Closed Beta testing was an actual thing before an update is published.. My Mosquito landing gear horn is fixed, but I can't play any of the missions because there are things missing because my WWII Assets pack is kaput..... How long is this going to take to fix now? Okay, I went in and uninstalled all my mods again.. and did another Repair and it is back. And yes I always stop an update and uninstall my mod packs. Cheers...

It doesn't work for me either, the file structure is a bit vague on which folder of the download goes where. I hate it when there is a mod fix, but no clear explanation of how to install it. The first file in Sounds is called Sounds in my install, it the ATM88 mod Saved Games/Sounds/Sounds/Ground units The download is: Sounds/sdef/aircrafts/Mosquito What goes where.... figured it out, just put the sdef folder in the main sounds folder.. if at first you don't succeed, screw it up again... till you screw it up the correct way.. I'm wondering if the 88 mod actually has sound now...

Really..... maybe you should use Woody Woodpecker as a nose art on it... I believe you might have one..... And the horn is definitely very annoying.....

Good question, since it's a R2800 like the Jug, I thought ( however misguided) that the Oil Cooler and Inter-cooler flaps, should probably be set at mid point or ''Neutral" like the Jug. But I honestly have not seen a difference in temps doing it that way. Only the cowl flaps have made a difference in any temps (Cylinder) from what I've seen. It's early access, so who knows what works like it's supposed to.

I got it in the downloads section, if you can't find it let me know and I'll pack it up and put it on mediafire for you. You have the encoders? found it... https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-mod/unit-is-p-47d/apply/ LOL, it's the only mod for the Jug on the page....

Are you using the HAT on the stick? or a dedicated trim box?.. A dedicated trim box is the best way to go for warbirds. There are people on here that make them... GVL, K51, and a few others. this is GVL's, I'm sure he has a new model now, thats an old screenshot from years ago. It worked great. I gave it to a friend of mine and he's using it now. And this is K51's which I'm using now.... 8 axis'... all can be tuned in Axis Tune.... Hopefully someone will make a mod for the Corsair like they did for the P-47, on slowing down trim and gunfire rate.

I saw a youtube video on how to fix that a month or so ago.... go search for it and see if it helps..

Thanks for the input, but like I said, the Hog as is, isn't that bad, and his fixes aren't a niggling necessity for me.

"The correct place"............ If I were good at finding the lua files I probably wouldn't need the other two software items. I could just do it my self and create a mod I could install and uninstall. The controls he has done new lua for are not really a problem with me, I really want the fuel selector switch to work as the Jug and mustangs does.

It's fantastic, the two levers in the rear I either use for RPM and Mixture, or on the Mustang I use them for the Carb heat and Ram Air. And then I'll use the knobs for RPM and Mixture. But it's great.

I don't use their software.

Nothing about it sounds like this, engine or whistle...

Get one of these from K51.... he's here on the forums. Some restrictions on shipping to certain countries. 8 axis, you can have the knobs as rotories, mine are pots. You can de-tune... slow down speed in axis tune.

We noticed that last night in our group Thursday night flight. Took off from the carrier and everyone's gear was down. This was on the Caucasus map. Some went back to the boat, and some went to a land base. We were all sitting there at the ramp, gear up floating in the air. This completely kills any immersion in an online mission. I've never seen it in an offline mission. Someone didn't do their due diligence in on-line testing of the Hog.... MSE 1 certification needs pulled...... (Mfg Self Examination). JMTCW..... And just in case you lost the last one.......

I wouldn't know what to do with those Lua files. You should put them into a OVGME Mod pack and offer them as a download.

It doesn't matter if I have flaps up or down, it goes nose up really fast with recommended Pitch trim settings. So I don't use them. The yaw goes nuts, too after wheels up. So I have come up with my own take off trim settings for the Hog. I've got a K51 trim box and I can control the speed of the trim in axis tune. But it still feels wonky to me. Carrier take offs are completly different.. seem tame by comparison.

I remember Fireball fixed it to where we could load the flightdeck with lots of planes in the flight sim that will go un-named.

I'd really like the fuel tank selector rotary to be like the Jug and Mustangs. Okay, and the armament switches. For me the flaps lever is much like the Mustangs, physically sequential. Most of the time I dislike using the mouse once in flight. Engine start, engine stop is fine, I'm not flying anymore.....

Here's a good article on it... I still can't find the old charts we used to use in IL2 Pacific fighters. The mission brief contained information for each carrier participating in the mission. We used to do SEOW campaigns against other IL2 squads. We had to do scout missions to find the enemy task forces, so we were all over the place on patrol routes. You needed Hayrake to get you back to the boat. We had the paper copies of the charts and would write down the Alpha codes for each 30-degree sector. https://militaryhistorynow.com/2024/03/11/ye-zb-hayrake-the-top-secret-radio-navigation-system-that-helped-americas-carrier-pilots-defeat-the-japanese/

A guy in my group has found that if the carrier is on a certain heading the tail hook or wires don't work as advertised ... these are his findings.... For you folks that are building missions for the Corsair to fly off the Essex class boat, Please make sure that the boat is not on a course of 181 through 270. For some odd reason, the arresting gear will not engage the tailhook as long as the boat is on a course in that quadrant - between 181 and 270. Any other course is fine, from 271 around to 180. Not yet sure if this is map dependant. I will do some tests. So check your mission files and see if that may be a problem.

You feel the weight of the Jug, the Hog feels light even with a full load out. I feel the engine sound of the Jug, not so much in the Hog. Once they refine the Control settings (fuel selector, weapons switches... etc..) and make them more like the other warbirds, it will greatly reduce the usage of the mouse. The WWII map is beautiful, but a resource hog.... I turn off the mirrors and that helps a lot. It is definitely the Hose Nose Widow Maker, or Ensign Eliminator, when it comes to CQ on the boat. I can't tell how annoying the Island and Gun mounts are when they get in the way of a great approach...... the cat walk rails are a life saver when you're hanging from them like a dingleberry noob.... But I really like it....

Hayrake navigation had seperate codes for each boat, and it changed everyday. That pie chart in the aircraft was what was used to find the sector you were in by the Letter and Morse code you were receiving. Land based systems code never changed. I hope they put a code cheat in it for the morse like Pacific Fighters did for the system. I sucked at figuring it out...... We'll need printable pie charts like we used in PF, and get the boats code in the briefing.

LOL, there's always one in the crowd isn't there.
