gyroscope going off ?

Art-J, thx for the follow up. I'm glad it's fixed ! DCS World and the ED modules are always for me and other seasoned ( grumpy ) simmers a reference in terms of accuracy / quality / dedication to the flight and systems modelling, even if, like me, most of us don't even use DCS as a combat platform ( I already have a lot to combat IRL to want to pay to play more combat in leisure times :-) )

Well, not my video, but one I found from a P-47 user : Weird P-47 FDM quirk Condition appears to be being in a sidelsip ( ? ). No chance for the 190s or 109 against this one

Well, it looks realistic to me, also, applying your glider wind gradient example, don't forget the deck of the Carrier is maybe 60 ft height, so, the wind at that height should be more intense than at MSL... I don't think DCS's weather model encompasses the modelling of turbulent flow due to structures, but IRL the deck of a carrier in a windy day should actually be even more tricky due to that...

Just saying I want my glider stick forces and prop torque in ALL DCS Modules! NOW! :pilotfly:

I am sorry to say, but DCS prop fighters fall short from realistic compared to my glider!!! I have tested it several times and I don't experience anywhere near those stick forces and even less the torque effects, unless I enter a rotor... So, ED, work on your FDM and make it all feel like a glider please!

It's a "C" model in this video, but worth following the flow...

A BIG Thank You to ED for this initiative. It actually made me install, again, this superb sim, and acquire all ( less the D-9 ) ww2 modules, plus the ww2 assets pack and Normandy, and I have had a great time online again, after months away from DCS :-) ED and DCS Rulezzzzz !!!!

In my case the problem actually comes to play when flying low, not high. Configured for landing, and in the short final, sometimes it looks strangely slow motion when you look around. Also, I don't fly any jets in DCS - just WW2 stuff :-), and waiting for the announcement of a ww2 military glider .... :pilotfly:

Yes, it's a complex problem, the representation of 3d in 2d, and I do have some experience flying IRL since 1980, gliders, so..., a lt slower than a 109 configured for landing in most of my approaches :-) and yet, I do have a rather different sensation from my glider... There was an option that I once tried in the Graphics settings of DCS ( "Depth of Filed" ) but it was a true frame rate killer.

Oh, but I do have my wife at home now while playing DCS... Isn't that enough of Butt Kicking already ?

I concur with the OP. Sometimes I have that same sensation of a very slow relative motion to terrain. It's more obvious over the default Caucasus scenery than on Normandy ( the only two scenery areas I have installed ). I agree that adjusting FoV may help, but it sometimes feels really weird.

Hi 85t_Maverik, please check your PMs. Unfortunately some of the links are no good :-( so I'll to find the original texts somewhere else.

Well, after all this years, and whenever I return to DCS - only for the ww2 props and the uh-1h - I remember those discussions, as well as the one I had with Yo-Yo regarding a "weird" effect of downwash under high x-wind takeoffs where the aircraft during the initial takeoff roll can actually call for rudder into the wind and aileron away from the wind - the kind of stuff I would never imagine could be realistic... Yet, after having come across some pilot descriptions and even a scientific ( aerodynamics ) paper I started reconsidering it and giving Yo-Yo the credit he really deserves. OTOH, I am just a glider pilot IRL, grounded for ages now with Covid... so, who am I to say it is or isn't correctly modelled ...

Exactly Art-J, that's it, and I had just found it when I noticed you had replied in this thread. Thx! Will track this bug - no big deal, and I am really enjoying my "new" P-51D N25 module :-)

Sometimes inflght the engine sound turns into a rather low pitch variant, as if I had transitioned the sound barrier ?

Thx! :thumbup:

Does this still apply, even for non VR users ?

Running very acceptably in my rig ( i5 2500 @ 3,3 GHz + 16 GB DDR3 RAM + GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 ) with SSLR and the other option that can be used with a multiplyer factor in the Nvidia GPU also OFF. I alternate between 2x and 4x AA. Runs between 60+ and 40, sometimes down to the 30s in complex scenarios, but still very acceptable.

MrExplosion, your mission was the first time I flew a complete mission in DCS! Thank you for making it available! It was really FUN!

It's a question I've been willing to ask for some time. What's the "clock rate" for the flight simulation engine? Are there any other clock rates - for other components of the simulation - and in that case what are their values? I'm curious to learn :-)

I did it in the past, but I forgot how to :-( When I first load the Spitfire in a QuickStart mission or go direct to the Configurations menu and defina all of the controls, it goes ok until I load a mission with the CW variant - then I find none of my defintions is there :-/ What's the easiest / safe way to port all of my defs to the CW model ? Thx!

Apparently all good now. Must have been due to the stress on the servers thismorning as the whole World started DL'ing the modules. Have been flying since more than 1 hr without any glitches.

I have the problem too. Yesterday, before the 1 month free journey I didn't have it. I pushed the full clean Beta install, then bought the A-8, the WW2 Asstes and Normandy, and made a few great flights. Today I started early in the morning by picking Normandy, D-9, Spitfire and P51d, as well as the UH-1H. I may give a try to the Christen too and the F-5, but I am not sure. Anyway, every time I try to leave a DCS session it freezes. Only way out is: CTRL-ALT-DEL and then choosing "Sign Out" so that my Windows user session quits, terminating all of the associated processes. Tried with freebie and the A-8 which I actualy bought, but same result. No big deal anyway, we can still play !

Well, starts tomorrow, but as a form of thanking ED for their move, I already DL'ed DCS Openbeta today, and bought the Fw190 A8, WW2 Assets Pack, and Normandy Maps. Then I'll restrict my D/Ls to the 109 K4, the Spitfire and the UH-1H. Most probably ending with buying them during the promotional campaing. Thank you ED !!!
