A real handfull to fly The German planes are so much easier to fly and I have no issues taking off or landing in either the BF 109 or the FW 190. The Spitfire is very challenging to takeoff or land. I'm no fan of the Spitfire's differential braking system. It takes a lot of concentration and energy to move around on the ground. This aircraft is super sensitive and you need to be extra precise and gentle with it, I guess due to its large control surfaces.

Ok thanks Cibit

Has Combined Arms been improved in DCS 1.5?

Follow these instructions and you will have a perfect landing every time. My approach, alignment with the runway and VVI were always perfect. My issue was always skidding to a stop and the wing tilting and hitting the pavement. I was never able to land without the wing hitting the pavement after touchdown as it drifted uncontrollably. It took a lot of practice to discover exactly what to do to keep the wings from hitting the pavement. • lock tail wheel • drop flaps and gear under 300kph • slow approach around 200kph • touchdown at 170kmh • vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI) must be 2.5 - 0 • use brakes and rudder aggressively to control direction immediately after touchdown Upon touchdown the BF-109 tends to start drifting to the left and you must correct it immediately with both opposite rudder and braking (light tapping). I find that if you only use the brakes or only rudder to correct the direction after touch down it will drift uncontrollably to one side and the wing will tilt and hit the pavement. You must use both the brakes and rudder simultaneously together to correct the direction down the runway.

Has anyone noticed increasing or decreasing the throttle has no effect on direction (yaw or pitch) in the FW-190, which is especially evident while at low speed and landing. The BF-109 definitely simulates this very well but its not evident in the FW-190. Also the bail out animation isn't as good as it is in the BF-109. BAILOUT HAS NOW BEEN ANIMATED IN 1.5 Is this due to it still being in beta, and if so when will the final version be released.

Thanks for the info Crumpp, its made a world of difference in my flying.

Ok sure but I'm a real nube even with features of the forum. How do I do it?

Thanks Crumpp Checked out the link Crumpp and what a difference it's made. The stalling has diminished greatly thanks to your advice. I'm using the Saitek X52 that has a twist grip for the rudder and it gets really tiring after awhile so I will have to invest in real rudder pedals in the future. Thanks again

Thank you very much Crumpp for your help, I sure need it. Will check out the link.

Thank You Bounder Thank You Bounder I will use for next time

SFM,AFM,PFM Thanks guys for your quick reply.

Hi everyone, What is the difference between the Advanced Flight Model (AFM), Professional Flight Model (PFM) and Standard Flight Model (SFM). I know the the SFM has basic flight physics but I'm not sure about the differences between the AFT and PFM. For example the F-15C for DCS World uses the AFM but the new Su-27 for DCS World uses the PFM. What is the difference and which is more realistic. Thanks

Thanks very much for the excellent videos you've created. I'm a nubie and I will be watching everyone of them to upgrade my skills. Great job bro thanks again

It worked Thank you so much it worked!

I opened up DCS World today and it started updating but was quite slow, so I went away and returned. When I returned the screen saver was on and I must have clicked the mouse and did something with the update by accident and an error quickly showed then disappeared so quickly I wasn't able to see it. Now when I open DCS World it still 1.2.4. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for your help guys, I didn't have KA-50 selected. Now I can finally start enjoying the game. All the best in the New Year!

Hi there, I have the latest edition of Blackshark 2 and A10C versions 1.1.1.1 and I've been unable to get the collective or throttle working. Everything else works pitch yaw etc., but the collective and thrust have been switched with the slider and I'm unable to switch it. Under Controls and Axis Commands I see pitch, roll, rudder and thrust but I don't see Collective in the list. Saitek Flight Control is listed in a column but they are all blank and if I right or left click there are no options and Add and Clear are dimmed out. Would really appreciate any help.
