Wasn't aware of this difference between the SA342 and the SA341. I find it rather strange that we'd leave the starter switch on (I've never seen that on any helicopter... but stranger things have happened). I will update the manual.

Enjoy! https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/mig-19p/

Cool beans!

I don't think so. Open Beta should work well with both modules. How did you start the training missions exactly?

Will be available shortly. It's 99 % done, only missing three minor items.

MiG-15 and F-86 guides updated to be more readable. Added some missing information as well and various quality-of-life improvements. MiG-19 guide is almost complete.

It's a tricky subject. Your altimeter calculates your current altitude with pitot-static air pressure sensors located on the aircraft's fuselage. Normally, the way to perform an approach at any airport is to consult the ATC (or carrier) to get the proper barometric pressure setting. This way, you know that the altimeter will give you a reliable reading since the altitude you see on the HUD in BARO mode will always be correct. However, in the tutorial I didn't bother with the barometric setting. 29.92 inches of Mercury (Hg) (or 1013,2075 HPa) is what we call the "Standard Pressure", which is a reference pressure used above the "Transition Altitude", which is yet another altitude reference as explained by Jak525. Instead, I used the Radar Altimeter mode in the groove since in that particular situation it gave a more accurate reading. You could've totally landed with the Barometric mode, but for that you absolutely need to get the right Barometric Pressure Setting from the Carrier Controller. Otherwise, fly the ball and forget about the Baro Altitude reading. The Radar Altimeter mode has the advantage of being more accurate when flying straight, but the reading gets completely wrong when performing bank manoeuvers since the radar altimeter sends radar beams perpendicular to your fuselage, which is problematic when the wings are not level. Performing approaches over uneven terrain gives erratic readings as well.

Nothing on the MiG-19 for today's patch?

Sound design is overall awesome all across WWII modules. The P-51 and Spitfire are my favourites in that regard. The framerate is roughly the same for all WWII aircraft and they are more or less all bug-free. The P-51 just got a cockpit overhaul and I think it looks great, just as good as the Spitfire (which is IMHO the prettiest WWII cockpit in DCS at the moment). As someone who has flown all DCS WWII modules for hours and hours... my two main choices would be the P-51 and the Spitfire.

At the moment the tutorial is almost the same... word for word! Current version dates from 23/03/2019. If you have a version dated before 09/12/2018 it's very likely that the procedure is just plain wrong.

How about we let them finish the MiG-19P first?

It's not fixed yet. This should go in the Bugs section.

It's out-of-date for radar functionalities and IFF... and it's missing the new radar modes, Mavericks, AMRAAMS, AIM-9X, JHCMS, HARMs, Datalink... I plan for an update once the Targeting Pod is implemented and existing features are mature enough. Keep in mind that it'll be a LOT of work.

Would you have a quick video for those of us still stuck at work? :)

You must be new here... (edit: as a matter of fact, you are!)

Fixed. That's what happens when you live in an alternate dimension.

I dream of the day I can fly the mighty Mossie. It may just be my favorite WWII aircraft after the Spitfire and the Lancaster. I'm sorry, but I have absolutely ZERO interest in generic systems modelling. The full grade systems are the trademark of DCS and cutting corners in development time is IMHO the best way to bring the community's interest in the module to a screeching halt.

Flush your cache and try again. I just re-uploaded it.

I did try it out. The tutorial I did is almost a carbon copy of the IRMV DMT TV Mode training mission. I will add a note that the steps 8 through 12 to use the DMT are optional (however, they are still valid). Otherwise, I really fail to see how my tutorial is wrong. It isn't. At least according to Baltic Dragon's training mission.

I gave the Mirage and MiG-21 guides a coat of fresh paint. Mirage start-up procedure updated and MiG-21 RSBN and PRMG tutorials clarified.

Just to clarify: the speed brake switch has to be reset to Neutral if you want to be able to trim again once the speed brake is deployed. That way, you can have the Speed Brake OUT while being able to trim yourself properly for landing.

Please explain in detail what exactly is incomplete or wrong. I can make the change. Is it just the redundant use of the DMT for the IRMV that bothers you?

Did the FM changes make it into today's patch, or will we have to wait for next Wednesday's OB patch?
