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.

Did we read the same update? That sounds to me like they are working on a map for the Hornet! Edit: double snipe xD

Für die WWII Fighter und die Helis sind Pedale dringend zu empfehlen! Die Module mit der komplexesten Avionik sind z.Z. sicherlich die A-10C und der Blackshark was aber nicht unbedingt heißt, dass sie mehr Spaß machen müssen. Im MP sind beide natürlich fantastisch und die A-10C bietet zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sicherlich am meisten da das einfach eine klasse Waffenplattform ist mit der man unglaublich viel machen kann. Wenn es einfach nur um's Rumfliegen geht dann bevorzuge ich die WWII Fighter, insbesondere die Fw-190D-9, oder den Huey/Mi-8. Dogfights machen auch richtig viel Spaß in den alten Fightern und Truppen mit den Helis durch AAA an die Front fliegen ist auch ein Erlebnis; insbesondere im MP mit anderen Spielern in A-10Cs und Ka-50s. Und dann ist da natürlich die MiG-21Bis. Alles was ich davon bisher gelesen habe hört sich fantastisch an. Damit werde ich bis Weihnachten alle Hände voll zu tun haben um die Grundlegenden Systeme zu lernen. Außerdem kommen dann ja noch die Bf-109 und die Spitfire die ich dank Kickstarter so erhalte. So viel zu lernen in nächster Zeit... :joystick: :pilotfly:

After flying a lot over the last couple of weeks I found this to work best for me: Line up on the runway and lock tail wheel, break, center the stick, full throttle, release breaks before the nose tips over and then just keep it centered with (mainly) right rudder and let it fly off the runway. It works perfectly even with light crosswind. With strong crosswind I just lock the tail wheel until I build up some speed and of course you might need more rudder to keep it on the runway. I can keep it pretty much centered on the runway with this method

Da ist ein kleiner Drehschalter links unter der Gunsight (unterm Licht vom Radar) wo man die Reichweite einstellen kann. Ganz nach links ist aus.

F-16 has force sensing which is something completely different. Basically the stick registers how much pressure you apply to the stick and the computer moves the control surfaces based on that. The stick doesn't even have to move for that although I believe it does move a little bit in the F-16.

You can just edit any mission that comes with DCS. Open the editor, click on open file, select Fw 190D-9, select quickstart, then open free flight or any other mission and change the skin. Save and you're good to go

This has been posted numerous times on this very forum ;)

I have no curves or deadzone on the stick and a small deadzone and a 20 curve on my rudder. I based my TIR profile for DCS on this video and I use it for every module: TASEXUd4Oto

I find the cannon to be quite powerful! It didn't take me much to turn the Mustang into a fireball in this Dogfight. A few hits with the cannon and it's down:

It's definitely possible. I think he is talking about the idle detent on the throttle and that it doesn't work for the Dora by default. Flaps and throttle work like that in the default profile for the A-10C and a little default.lua mod achieved the same for the Dora on the first day after release. Of course you can use TARGET but that's not what he was talking about.

I know there are quite a lot of us who speak english fairly well so that should not be a problem. I would be willing to help as well

I pre-purchased the FW 190 so I chose the Bf 109, the Spitfire and the P-47. Gonna buy the Me 262 once it's available
