I seem to get a flickering screen, when i'm near an airport. I know there are other threads about flickering screens but mine happens only when I am landing/taking off/overflying.

Yes in real airshows the aircraft are at minimum weight to complete their demo. Fuel is enough to complete display, divert.

I have the exact same joystick, I also use keys for DMS, TMS and slewing. Thrust me it's not that bad once you learn the systems and get proficient then you wont notice using the keys anymore. As far as learning, it takes practice... and alot of it. My advice is to jump in at the deep end. Do a tutorial, then just keep doing all the tasks in it until you can do then without thinking!

Yes Hoggorm, all you have to do is edit the mission to add another jet, heli etc. To do this just add an aircraft and set the skill level to client. Then save it. The next time you fly multiplayer the new aircraft you added will be there. You will need to add weapons in the editor.

Love the Cobra, thanks for cockpit pic!

I feel TS is the best, my own opinion mind. You download the software then connect to a TS server, usually servers will have their own TS server. The DCS pilots lounge is a good place to meet other fliers. It very generously provided to the community by Krebs20, ch.teamspeak.cc:9083

I don't want to drag this thread down, so i'll finish on this. You sound like somebody who is too stuck in books and theory, The mathematical theory is only a part of a larger design process. I have done flight testing, the maths is close but not exact. It is wrong to dismiss what a test pilot who flies the aircraft at the edge of it's envelope has stated and instead claiming that he's wrong because your maths doesn't say he's right. Somehow backed up by "other" pilots. You should do some more research about it I think. You can stick the biggest engines on an aircraft, doesn't mean it's going to go Mach 5 does it? So many more parameters come into aircraft speed than high thrust:weight ratio. Remember the mathematical model for the F-35 cannot be determined by simply using standard aerodynamic formulas. It's shape demands a far more complex model.

Go to DSMS, press OSB with SJET, then select the item you want to drop, master arm on, hold weapon release until it drops.

From where quick mission? Yes Blades off, I believe the reason you are having trouble in the mission is because of the wind, It has a large effect on retreating blade stall and what direction you are flying relative to the wind. On a very windy day flying into the wind will break the helicopters blades at a lower indicated airspeed than a calm day. Flying away has the opposite effect. Press the wind button on the INU, then fly towards it, it will make your rotors collide I bet ;)

I tested and my rotors collide whether it's already running or cold start.

I found this, think it's from the closed beta

I'm sorry but my knowledge goes way past wikipedia! Yes I read the test pilots reports from the test flights. What I said about supercruise was actually said by a test pilot himself, not somebody on wikipedia. The aircraft cannot reach Mach 1 without burner and this is in a test loadout, no weapons. It can reduce burner to minimum when past Mach 1, but not sustain supersonic speeds without it, but again test conditions. No matter how much maths you do, the aircraft will never behave 100% to what the maths predicted, this is one of the reasons why flight testing is done. To see if the aircraft actually matches what you thought it could do. It rarely if ever does match the maths. You need wind tunnel testing and flight testing to evaluate an aircrafts performance, not only numbers from theory. There are also 3 variants of the F-35, A- Conventional, B- VTOL, C- Carrier

Just so you know it's called cyclic control for a helicopter. A track is a video replecation for when you complete a flight, then in the debrief, there is an option for watching the "track", you can save it, then post it here, people use it to show problems visually. Edit: Damn sniped, but a far more in depth explanation :P

It should work yes, I can still use missions I created in DCS-10C in World

This sounds a bit like new helo pilot syndrome :smilewink: ,just kidding Firstly you are experiencing retreating blade stall, simply put this happens when you reach the helicopters maximum velocity. The blades hit each other because the advancing blade produces more lift than the retreating one and it's a co-axial helicopter. Normal configuration, helicopter rolls over, not blades hit. Second, you need to keep trimming the aircraft to maintain course, you can read about it in the manual. The KA-50 doesn't have an elevator? do you mean something else?

- They were not all directed to you, sorry if there was confusion. - For the second point you are right, I meant to say contributes the most to lift(F-14,F-15). - I picked that up wrong when you talked about matching performance, anyway an aircraft is never designed to match another, it's designed to be better.

There is definitely a mission, can't find it thought! http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/214324/ Found it.

F-35 can NOT supercruise, it can reduce power to minimum afterburner when gone past Mach 1 but still requires some re-heat to keep it supersonic, albeit a small amount. Increasing the wing loading (W/S), aircraft weight over the wing planform area of an aircraft will increase the maximum speed it can achieve at any altitude, does not mean it can supercruise though. For an aircraft that has a rather seamless connection between the body and wing, it is actually the upper surface of the fuselage that creates lift, not the belly. F-15 for example. The reason it has computers is not to match another aircraft's performance, but to keep it in the air! Stealth aircraft are not aerodynamically stable. For what it's worth Concorde could supercruise, so it's not just some recent discovery by the F-22 ;) Only the lightning prototypes could supercruise, not the production aircraft.

I am very wrong! just finished reading an article on the "razorbacks" A-10C and they can indeed employ the Aim-9X! Also got me thinking about bomb fuzing, airburst, delay etc. I don't believe it's implemented is it?

Well they all use it! ;)

Well that's very interesting mvsgas thanks! good to know. I only associated it with off boresight A2A.

Cool, then it's open for discussion! :D I can't imagine much use in a mud mover though, I understand that it's only for A2A, the A-10C doesn't even carry the Aim-9X.

Sorry didn't realise it was already posted!

Just saw a picture in my aircraft magazine of an A-10 with the pilot wearing the JHMCS! Amazing

As far as I know armour penetration is not modeled. Like you say it's done by hit points, so no getting lucky with a single shot into the engine.
