Please keep your people under a little more control. I'm a customer, and I have an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to say what I think about what's being produced in a fair manner. I don't tolerate raging kids and geriatrics throwing out neg rep for nothing well at all.

Ha ha! Love the neg rep. The little assholes that try to dominate and rule this forum are so funny. What little minds. Don't you guy's have anything better to do? Guess not.

Lol, if I wanted to fly a P-51D, I could just pick up MSFS or X-Plane. WWII has been done to DEATH. Come on DCS, you know what everyone is waiting for.

What an absolute waste of development time. Another <YAWN> WWII fighter. I won't be buying it.

Hmm, I was just reading through some of this post. 1) This guy is a REAL hacker. Good luck getting rid of him. My first suspect would be other server owners. I've played a lot of FPS and have seen people like this before. They are usually competing server owners who want people to come play on THEIR servers. Happened a lot in Crysis Wars. 2) One thing you might want to do is look through the logs on this forum server. These people are like Pyro's. They love to watch things burn and listen to people fight and talk about it. Anyone here who has watched this page intensely and not participated in the discussion? Big Red Flag. Good luck. Edit: I was just thinking, and also you should keep an eye out on the net for someone trying to sell this as a private hack. We had a really bad guy ( who was a genius at programming ) in Crysis Wars who did just that. His name was LongPoke. He about single handedly destroyed Crysis Wars online. Just my two cents.

Interesting. We can't do that as far as I know in FTN. If you stop head tracking, your view just locks. Maybe we can get that in FTN one day.

Signed up! Only way I'd ever be able to afford a Warthog. Joystick prices these days are INSANE!

Wow. TIR just got owned.

Yeah, I don't think that works. 1) I'm using FaceTrackNoIR which doesnt have that key, and 2) I think all that does in TrackIR is stop head tracking. You still can't use the mouse. What we need is something in the game that stops the TrackIR and switches the game over to the mouse panning. I think DCS itself would have to program that into the sim. It sure would make things better.

Hey guys. Is there anyway to switch from trackir to mouse view control ingame? I'm using facetracknoir which is decent for looking out the windows and near guages, but I need to switch to mouse view to look at controls to the side, below, and behind me. A button to transfer view control would be very much appreciated!

Same problem I have with Apaches. Six hits to kill one at times. They just won't die.

As above. For some reason, the checkbox isn't showing up. Anyway I can set it in the config files?

Sorry, but you really can't tell anything by those videos. All you see is flashes from the rounds exploding against the armor. I don't think the HE would do much in itself to the armor. It would all depend on if the head had enough strength (steel) and energy to get through the armor. So far, the best information I can find says 20mm HEI will pierce around 12mm RHA @ 100 meters range ( Probably the M61 cannon on the F16, etc. ). So, you can kind of infer from there. M113 usually has about 30mm RHA. Newer vehicles like the BMP-3 have about 60mm RHA on the frontal arc. From everything I can find so far, the head looks like it is made of simple aluminum, and except for the one quote above, it does not appear that the round was made to pierce anything more than the lightest armor, and mostly is for use against un-armored, anti-material. I think the HEAP concept of heavy steel round with a small amount of HE was abandoned after WWII, as armor got much better and thicker.

Move in at around at least 250 km/hr. Switch to manual sighting and rockets / guns. As you get the sight over your target, hit designate to fire the laser. The sight will adjust for THAT range. Fire. Get out fast. Make sure the dial for calculating rocket path is set for the right rockets. Its on the back - right panel. I think its set for S-8 as default. But yeah, I get the feeling heli's were meant for standing way off and just firing guided missles. Everything else is kinda suicide run. Even a .50 with a lucky hit can bring your copter down.

Need the link to the video. And 30mm API can only penetrate 80 - 90mm (kinetic value) RHA.
