Sri to be late to the party but since the Mossie appeared I have been blowing myself up with low level shallow dive runs using instantaneous fuses. Yet (YET!) every source I have read makes it clear the Mossie routinely used time delay fuses, usually 11 seconds. They were used at Amiens and at the Philips plant at Eindhoven. At Copenhagen, one bomb went in the front of the building, out the back and blew up well behind the building because of time delay fuses. "...it is a core feature and will take time to implement and test." What a lame response! This is a brand new module with a major deal-killing flaw in what was historically a standard feature and it should be fixed immediately. Please do so!

Thank you!!!

Well done, that man!

Thanks,Art-J. I couldn't figure it out. Steam pouring out but engine OK.

Good idea!

I stumbled over this on YouTube. Despite the title, it contains great info on making corrections to your landing approach. Hope it helps some that are struggling with them (like myself). HotTom

Unless the constant crashes are fixed, none of this stuff matters.

The constant crashes have made DCS unplayable. Unless you get it fixed, everything else ED is working on is pointless. Don't you understand that?

Sri for the late reply. I figured it out. Thank you!!!

Wags is only concerned with the modern jets. He doesn't do WWII.

That's exactly where mine are but they don't show up in missions. Strange....

Two questions: What ever happened to the Gola Heights series? I was looking forward to trying it.... And, I haven't been able to figure out where (in my files) to put the two third party apps you require for your training missions. I've tried everything I can think of bit your missions refuse to recognize them. A little help, Please? Your Haiphong missions are great! Thanks, HT

These look great, sidekick and I hope you make more. But where can we get the actual missions?

Stumbled over this on YouTube and it is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo_irQ9bjzU&t=1688s

https://www.amazon.com/Terror-Starboard-Seat-Dave-McIntosh/dp/0825300258 Terror in the Starboard Seat: A truly good read by a Mosquito FB VI navigator who rode 41 missions with a wild man for a pilot. Mostly, his duties consisted of what the pilot kept yelling at him: "Look out the back!" Highly recommended!

If you get rudder pedals (or even a twist stick) and turn off auto rudder, you will find what you are looking for.

Great module! My only complaint is not with the F-86 but with the AI Mig-15. Even on rookie setting, the MiG is entirely too good. Needs to be nerfed. But that just makes thjings more challenging (frustrating). Buy it! You won't be sorry.

Andrew, I couldn't agree more! In fact, I could have written most of your post. My only disagreement would be about Vietnam. I was there. It was a terrible war that served no purpose. Counting civilians, various estimates claim 3.4 million to 3.8 million people were killed, including about 56,000 GIs. For what? That said, I love the DCS prop jobs and especially the P-47. I've been writing historically accurate (within the limits of DCS) missions for it under by nom de plume tttiger. My favorite uncle was the adjutant of the 406th Fighter Group all across Europe. I met many of the surviving pilots at a reunion about 30 years ago. These were the guys who rescued the 101st ABN at Bastogne. Lesson: Never scoff at an old man sitting on a park bench. He may have amazing tales to tell. Like you, I fly only off line. I got fed up with all the nonsense of on line play. But I try not to criticize those who would rather furball than recreate history. To each his own. Great post! Thank you!

Check the date you are using for the mission or turn off the little clock in the bottom right of the screen. When it's on you're locked a a set date and if the plane had not been flown operationally by that date, you won't get it.Turn off the clock and date won't matter any more. Hope that helps.

Watched it today: Excellent!

Cunning Fox, this is just a troll, right? If you have problems with the way DCS modeled the Spit 9, this is the place to come and make a case for change. But ONLY in the model. Which, apart from a few quibbles, most people here believe is a very accurate depiction. You have to be careful about not firewalling the throttle constantly and not trying to zoom with German fighters. Wait until they come back and out-turn them. Your problem seems to be with the actual airplane. Well Supermarine went out of business in 1957 and designer R. J. Mitchell died in 1937, so I don't think there's anyone still around for you to rant at. Why are you bringing it here? (shakes head). My take is that you just don't have the skill to fly it well so you blame the airplane.

And their glory days in the Ninth Air Force were just beginning.

Okay. I finally got this sorted. Trial and error always has been my method of figuring out computer stuff. But why so many errors? Why do I never hit it on the first trial? Never mind. Rhetorical question. So, in case this ever happens to anyone else, here's the solution: As I describe above my quest was to get rid of the corrupted P-47 module. Tried the little red trash can in the Module Manager. It was still there. Tried the disable switch in the Module Manager. But when I enabled the module again, it was still corrupted. Then I removed Saved Games and let DCS replace it. Nada. So, I thought, well, if I just dump DCS Open Beta and replace it with a fresh version, it should work. So I went to Widows 10 and uninstalled the whole Open Beta. But when I reinstalled it, the problem was still there. Finally, today, with no help from ED (don't they even read these forums???), I looked in the SSD where Open Beta was stored and (lo and behold!) Open Beta was still there despite uninstalling it from Windows. So I clicked on delete and it went away. Then I downloaded Open Beta again from the DCS web site and SHAZAM! Worked a charm. Open Beta and I are together again. Happy ending. Thanks to all.

Thanks, Gav. It's still working in the stable version so at least I can fly it. But I really prefer the Open Beta. Stuff gets fixed faster. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Tried uninstalling the saved games folder (just gave it a new name) and did a repair and, yes, a new one reappeared. I used the trash barrel in installed modules to remove the P-47 (it showed it installed) and then downloaded and installed another P-47 module. It appears in the manager as installed again but he game refuses to recognize it is there. So, I'm still at Square One. The game refuses to recognize my P-47. Any ideas? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?
