Awesome! Thanks for sharing shagrat & Yo-Yo ;)

Take Off and landing:

You can also adjust your prop pitch manually to prevent the engine from dying

EDIT: I didn't take the changes to the default.lua into account. Just ignore this... :doh::music_whistling: I wanted to try todays update and noticed that my binding for the TDC Range didn't work so I checked the options and noticed that my assignment disappeared. After rebinding it still doesn't work ingame although it jumps to the binding in the options when I press the button. O and L still work but that isn't usable while flying.

I can't really put my finger on it but it doesn't feel right after a couple of rearms/refuels. I know about the nose cone, so that's not it. Even with a clean aircraft landings especially become increasingly difficult with time. No Idea what that is. Even repair doesn't fix this.

Head On. My first succesful kill on Camera, AI is much much easier to kill than eaven a semi terrible human pilot:

I'd sent them in. My Saitek pedals work absolutely fine.

They will break as you build up speed if you leave them on. Once they're broken they're not fixed after a repair though, so there's a bug ;)

Thank you for this ;)

No curvature or deadzone works fine with the WH HOTAS. With that stick there is no need for it tbh. I fly all my fixed wings without curvature. Dogfighting with curvature can be a huge PITA for example.

I agree with DavidRed here. To me it really isn't more difficult than the Mustang and you don't need a lot of right stick to keep her straight if you didn't overcompensated with your rudder. A few things to consider for those with problems and those who think that something is off: #1: The Dora has more power than the Mustang AND is lighter! #2: Only elevator trim can be adjusted by the pilot, trim tabs for rudder and ailerons are set on the ground for a specific speed and RPM range and cannot be adjusted during flight. #3: The tail wheel is either locked or completely free which means that you need rudder authority asap - so set T/O power before you release brakes. In the Mustang it moves a little bit. Even with the stick pulled back. #4: On the Dora you use take off flaps. If you ever forgot to retract flaps on the Mustang before take off you will notice a heavy left rolling tendency. It's worse than what happens in the Dora because if you forget them they are fully lowered. #5: According to Yo-Yo, Erich Brunotte, a German WWII fighter pilot who flew the Dora, was able to take off and put her through some maneuvers w/o problems and even helped fix a little bug in EDs FM that went unnoticed until then. I'm pretty sure he'd have noticed glaring issues. If there really is a bug it should be fixed but the only thing we have right now is some people who think something is off but no concrete evidence.

But in the Mustang you just cut MP, right? I'm sure there is a pretty significant difference between just cutting your MP on the Mustang or reducing RPM to 600 in the Dora which you shouldn't even do on the ground!

@Skull: That is just copy&pasta from the flight manual. As I said on reddit, the quote from p. 25 of the flight model seems to be plain wrong. I would agree with Kane that it is nonsense in regard to the Jumo 213.

I really don't understand this though. I took off on my first attempt in the Dora. It was messy, yes but I got into the air without damaging the aircraft. I cannot tell you how many crashes I had back in the P-51D Beta before I managed to take off for the first time but there were a lot of them. Now, I don't have any problem with the Mustang or the Dora. Difficulty seems to be roughly the same. Do they behave different? Yes. Is one harder to take off than the other? IMO no, I don't see a huge difference in difficulty.

Probably because the internet has proven that people generally don't even read big fat disclaimers. I have witnessed this myself not too long ago It went something like this: DCS player: 'Why can't I activate module X on Steam' Me: 'Didn't you notice the bold, red disclaimer on the ED store?' DCS player: 'Who reads disclaimers?' :D

Yep, the module is definitely not the problem! I don't find it harder than the Mustang in any way. Of course, the problem with any simulation is that you can not feel the plane moving, making it harder to counter things like torque or roll but with a bit of practice it shouldn't be a problem to anticipate it. The Dora is different from the Mustang, mainly because the tail wheel doesn't move when locked like it does in the Pony but this can easily be compensated by putting the throttle to T/O power, waiting for the RPM to hit ~2700-3000RPM and only then release the brakes. This way you will have rudder authority from the prop wash alone which is enough to keep her lined up on the runway before you build up more speed. I usually line up on the runway, lock the tail wheel and brake. I then center the stick, set the Bediengerät to Startleistung (T/O power), release the brakes just before the nose comes down and instantly, but carefully apply right rudder. In crosswind conditions I will keep the stick centered until I hit ~160km/h.

Actually the Dora has very nice and satisfying gear up/down sounds

Ich kann mit Sicherheit sagen, dass Wolken nicht gesynced sind wenn Spieler später hinzukommen. Wie es aussieht wenn alle Spieler vor dem Start der Mission den Server joinen kann ich allerdings nicht sagen. Da aber selten die Gelegenheit besteht die Mission erst zu starten wenn alle Spieler bereit sind wäre das auch keine Lösung für das Problem. Ich habe zwei Versionen dieser Trainingsmap. Einmal mit Wolken für reines Sightseeing und A-G Training, einmal ohne Wolken wenn wir Dogfights mit Fw 190 und P-51 machen. Das letzte Mal als wir versucht haben auf der Version mit Wolken Dogfights zu fliegen, hatte ich (host) Wolken im Dogfightgebiet während der Rest unserer Truppe freien Himmel hatte. Der erste Test hatte davor allerdings schon gezeigt dass Wolken nicht synchron sind da ich auf Grund von früherer Erfahrung explizit gebeten habe darauf zu achten. Allerdings war auch hier JIP im Spiel. Sollte ich Zeit haben kann dieses Wochenende mal testen wie es aussieht mit Spielern die vor Missionstart den Server joinen Edit: Um das klarzustellen es handelt sich nicht um dynamisches Wetter. Wettereinstellungen sind: Base: 800m; Thickness: 2000m; Density: 3; Wind: at 10m: 3m/s 266° at 2000m: 9m/s 308° at 8000m: 14m/s 265° Turbulence: 7m/s*0.1

A couple of weeks ago. 1.2.10 Mustang vs Dora

As stated earlier I had to remove clouds because they weren't synched for all players. Might have something to do with join in progress. IDK. But we definitely had problems with clouds not being synchronized for all players in my dogfight mission.

From my experience clouds are NOT synchronised in MP which is why I run the dogfight mission I have set up for our small community without clouds. When I first put it together I had clouds between 800m and 2000m at density 3 and when we tested the mission we had some players who were flying through clouds while others didn't see them fly through a cloud.

Ich versteh die ganze Aufregung ehrlich gesagt nicht. Während den Steamsales sind die Module auch oft sehr großzügig reduziert. Sales im ED Store waren bisher immer ein paar Wochen vor Steamsales IIRC. Abwarten und Tee trinken. Der Steam Autumn Sale kommt bestimmt bald und dann wird es auch da sicherlich großzügige Daily Deals geben. Ich kaufe im ED Store, da es dank Dollar meist günstiger ist als Steam wo auch für DCS $=€ gilt und Module im ED Store immer ~ zwei Wochen früher erscheinen.

I'd like to know this as well. ATM I mostly use manual control because this way it's far easier to keep the temperatures at the right levels

That's how it works in DCS as well. If you're not at max throttle pressing the MW 50 button does nothing but once you advance the Bediengerät full forward you can see the MW 50 gauge moving and you immediately need to correct the additional torque that is quite noticeable.
