  1. Put 'em back the way they were WITHOUT the pilot. The reflection looks very cartoonish.
  2. I tried again with a smaller ordnance load and no problems. Stuck to two 500lb bombs and four HVARs and the engine did not seize. Although the load of two 500-lb bombs and eight HVARS was within limits on the accompanying chart (98 percent) it seemed to overstrain the engine. I think that was my problem. In other news: I still can't find a WEP switch or the A6M5. I have the latest update but don't see them. Strange.
  3. May come as a shock to Rudel (who has helped me too many times to count) but I have never, in 15 years of flying DCS, made a track file. I had to find a lesson Here is my track file. It now happens every time both with and without wingmen. Thanks! LastMissionTrack.trk
  4. Great find! Thank you!!!
  5. SAME PROBLEM
  6. No, devil, everything vanished. Spent today putting it all back together. Great tip, though. I'm gonna make a backup config folder and tuck it away. Thank You!
  7. Fired up DCS today and: 1. Had to sign in manually. 2. All my control bindings vanished. Now I have to rest them manually. WTF???
  8. Figured it out. It's called "Propellor Governor Handle" in Axis Commands. Same as "RPM" in other warbirds. Would really be great if ED enforced some continuity in common command names. Ah, well. It's fixed.
  9. In all my other single engine warbirds, I map my RPM to one throttle lever and the thrust or throttle to the other. These settings are both under Axis Commands in the menu. In F4U, the throttle lever is working fine. BUT there is no RPM control in the Axis Commands menu. In the All But Axis Commands menu there is a Propeller RPM selection. It allows me to link it to map the RPM function OTHER controls on my stick BUT NOT to the throttle lever I use for all other warbirds. This workaround is okay but very clumsy. Did I miss something or was it designed this way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  10. I have a ton of historically accurate missions for the Mossie that I couldn't make because I didn't have a proper map. Having much of Denmark and the Baltic Coast also will allow others. Thanks for the kind words!!!
  11. Forget the jets! I (or my mission-making doppler tttiger) will be using this map for Warbirds missions, particularly the Mosquito. Mossies were long range aircraft that flew missions deep into Germany and frequently over Denmark and the Kattegat as well. In my book, this is a new Warbird map!
  12. Amen, Brother!
  13. I can't remember a command line but it was a link that force installed. BUT it is still corrupted the way my own copy was. I'm still doing a slow-motion dance with Support due to the time difference.
  14. Never say "Oops" in an airplane! No, the AI in support just linked me to a download link, I downloaded it and ran it. Easy Peasy! Flappy was ahead of you on this one.
  15. LOL. I hate it when a repairman says: "I've never seen that before!"
