VH-Rock

Hi Manuel, Tank & SimFreak are correct - even though the speed is still high, you are entering an accelerated stall - a trait for which the Mustang is well know. The trick with the Mustang is to be very smooth with your stick and, as Tank suggests, you could try lowering the pitch saturation in the control axis setup. She's a beautiful aircraft to fly once you've got a few hours in her and understand her a little better - best of luck!

It is indeed for DCS - To lead VH with hopefully towards the end of 2013 but I would not be surprised if it dragged on to 2014

I can't say I've suffered any noticeable performance drop in DCS at all yet, although I built a new rig this year to quite high specs so I wouldn't expect to. Interesting how this only happens with the 51 guns though

Thanks Gentlemen :)

A big thank you to all who watching us at VFAT! For those who missed it, the replay is available here: http://www.livestream.com/virtualairshows/video?clipId=pla_8ff6ac6f-73ee-42a5-93c1-9d240fcc2491&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb We have a blast flying this year and we can't wait to do a few more shows in 2013. A quick build update on the P-38: Now that VFAT is over and all our spare time is not taken up by training, I've been able to get back into 3DS Max and work on the P-38 a little more. This afternoon I got the gear bay cut and the gear door made for the pod. A few other little bits and bobs added here and there too. Gear cut: Overall project:

Other system specs would be useful, but I used to run DCS:P-51 on win XP 32bit and my wingman currently runs it on win 7 32bit, so I think you'll be fine.

Yep, I've landed like that a couple of time.

If you and the host have the skin, you will see it. If you have and the host hasn't - you wont. If you don't have a skin that has been assigned to an aircraft, but the host does - he still wont see you in a skin. Both parties require the skin for it to be visible online. Even if you and the host have all the skins - if a 3rd person join and flies an aircraft with a skin applied to it that he doesn't have, neither of you will see the skin.

Client and server must have the skin for it to be visible.

So you're seriously trying to tell me that the FC3 style push a button and go fly is just as hard has having to know all your aircraft's systems, how to manage them and use them correctly in specific situations that you do in a DCS fidelity aircraft? Pah! :lol: My 7 year old cousin has flown FC series aircraft - try sticking him in the A-10 or Ka-50 and you'd better take cover (If he can even start the thing, that is). These mixed servers, especially in a combat situation, will just never work. Can you imagine it in F1? We have half the cars with ABS and other driver aids, and half the grid without? The ones without the driver aids wouldn't stand a chance. If you've got the computer doing 90% of the management for you (infact, you don't manage the engine at all other than power), then that's a lot less for you to think about in a mission ;) If you guys want to fly with these mixed aircraft, go and host your own ;) If you enjoy that kind of thing, great. But I do not see why I should be told how to run my serverl

Indeed. The divide between DCS fidelity and FC3 fidelity is like the divide between PC and console pilots... A huge difference between the too. Some times, no matter how hard you hit the 2 pieces, they just aint gonna fit together.

Spot on! I host because I can choose my own settings, my own aircraft and who I let in there... Dead simple way to get what you want. ^^ Isn't it you that was complaining that the community wasn't doing what you wanted? I agree with most of what is said here... I normally host public servers. But, on occasion I have seriously considered passwording them because of idiots we get in that simply either can't read/follow the server rules or, after spawning, start questing the rules and my decision to enforce them. I find it quite a simple thing really: If you don't like the server rules - get lost and find a server where you can behave... Dead straight forward. Jabo, If you don't like these passworded servers, host your own. If many people feel the same way, they will start joining. You can not tell people what to do with their spare time. 'pbishop' is dead on with what he said. It's our time, our money, our servers. We'll run them how we damn well want. If I want to password my server, I will. If I don't want to allow FC3 aircraft because I consider them too easy, I wont. I personally don't like the idea of having mixed fidelity aircraft in the same mission... Over this last week, 90% of the people who have disregarded my server rules have been flying FC3 aircraft... Out of that 90%, most of them argued when I stated the server rules and started to question them. Some of them also then blatantly and repeatedly broke the server rules intentionally, several times. I never have this issue with pilots flying the higher fidelity aircraft.... Normally with anyone in an A-10, Ka-50 or P-51, if I warn them once or reiterate a rule, they acknowledge it, apologise and it doesn't happen again. I am seriously considering removing the FC3 aircraft from my missions if this attitude keeps up... If you really have a problem with people choosing to lock their servers or limit aircraft choice, go host your own and fix it for everybody. If you can't find somebody who can - It's really not that complicated! At the end of the day, you've come here moaning at people who are providing a service for others to enjoy. I host every weekend as much as I can and usually get a good crowd of respectable pilots in. People who can't follow simple rules, or don't like my server settings are more than welcome to **** off and find another one. I really don't care for this attitude. Most people appreciate having servers hosted for them. You then question why we choose the settings that we do, and then when you get a no bs answer from 'pbishop', you dismiss it angrily. He said exactly how most of the hosts feel... No bull s**t, no sugar coating, just saying it straight. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Don't like what we offer? Feel free to go and host one yourself to your own specs - until then, stop telling us how to run ours!

Gotta say, I would love to see the F-86 in DCS, but my real hope is for a Spitfire Mk V. I would really love to see a good Spitfire modelled for this sim! I do understand the need for an opponent though and I personally think that a 109G would be the best choice to do before any other WWII aircraft.

Exactly the same for me. I hosted a few servers over the weekend and each one crashed after a while. Had 8 - 12 people in each time.

Thanks for the fix, I'll install when I get home :-)

Thanks for testing that, Suchacz. I'll do a test when I get home tonight to see if I notice any differences

I really hope it's not stuck in game mode or with the assists on; that would be a disaster for us so close to VFAT... :/

90% of VH's servers are open and we regularly have 8-10 people in there. I write the active runway in the mission brief and any other rules I expect to be followed. If people choose to ignore them, I will warn them once which will promptly be followed by a kick if they proceed to break the server rules. I've only ever kicked 1 person. I do not require teamspeak or membership - Open servers are a great way to meet new pilots and learn from each others skills. However, I do understand that when I am leading a formation of 5 or 6 aircraft through aerobatics, I do not want to be typing like a 'mad man' trying to get some dumb punk to obey the rules... A DCS Dedicated server would solve a lot of these issues... If multiple people could have server admin rights to manage the server including a ban list and changing missions etc... It would be a very valuable tool.

Thanks for the tip, just purchased A-10 and BS2. What a great deal! ****Edit**** I also payed with 'Paypal'.

Thank you, Will be sure to read :)

WIP.

Is there not an old story about Eric Hartman and Hans Joachim Marseille? Hartman was asked what it was like to be the greatest fighter pilot in the world with the most kills, he replied that he wasn't. "Hans Joachim Marseille was because he got his kills against the british" - who's pilots he considered superior. Ehco, Obviously an F-22 against a Fokker E.III is far to extreme. During the war, the Fw-190, Bf-109, Spitfire and Mustang were all relatively close - sure they all had their own advantages and disadvantages. But, the fact is that the performance of the aircraft was sufficiently close for the pilot to make the difference. He knows how to exploit his aircraft the most, surely has the advantage. We could debate this all day and sure, in some cases, it's the aircraft that makes the difference. A spitfire against an old bi-plane for example. But, in close combat in WWII between the most common fighters from the U.K, Germany and the U.S.A, it has to be the pilot who is the deciding factor. The aircraft were developed in competition with each other, always fighting for that advantage over the enemy. Sure, one would have a slight advantage, but that small advantage is in no way great enough to offset the skill of a fantastic pilot who understands his aircraft.

Just depends on the pilot ;) If the P-51 gets suckered into a turning Fight, Spit has the advantage. If the P-51 uses Boom and Zoom, P-51 has the advantage. Same with any aircraft though, the better the pilot, the better chance you have of winning.

Shame you're not in a B-17 - Lower me out of the bomb bay and I'll fix that problem for you! :lol:

Oh grow up and stop taking everything so seriously... It's a bit of a tongue in cheek joke ;) Even though I would love to see the P-51B and there already is a model in game.
