II.JG1_Vonrd

Great! Thanks again.

Thanks for the info! It's been years since I've flown the stable version and the way it's looking, the beta is going to be the de-facto for the foreseeable future. There are no skins, campaigns, screenshots, etc. in that Saved Games folder. Would I lose control bindings in the Beta if I delete the Stable Saved Games folder? Looking at the Config/Input folder, all of the bindings are for my old Hotas which has been put out to pasture. It seems that there should be no issue then... correct?

As per the title of this thread, I want to get rid of everything related to the stable version of DCS since I never use it. I only run the Beta. I have run the uninstaller but there are still folders taking up space. Can I safely delete the folders shown? They are so large that Windows says they won't fit in the recycle bin and have to be permanently removed. Therefore, I'm hesitant.

Yeah, the glaciers are a nice touch but the rendering of the mountain peaks, close up, are very blocky and reminiscent of older games. I think the Caucus mountains are rendered better. Still, it's early access. Hoping for more fidelity at close ups.

This Polish Air Force MiG-21PFM flew with the Tenth Fighter Interceptor Regiment and was charged with the defense of Warsaw. It is located at the Intrepid aircraft carrier Air and Space Museum, New York. The aircraft is painted as an example of the Polish MiG-21s that participated in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Tiger Meet 2018 in Poland, at the 31st Tactical Air Base in Poznan-Krzesiny.

Sierra Hotel Kerbo!

East German MiG-19S (Farmer C) of 1 Staffel/JG3. Pilot Htm Heinz Stammberger. One of two painted in a special scheme for the 5th FAI World Aerobatic Championships at Magdeberg, GDR in 1968. Both aircraft crashed during training and neither flew during the championships. Note: Bort numbers are selectable.

Also, is the RSIU-4V radio volume all the way up?

Seems to me that the "Cockpit Pressurization Lever" in not functioning in the module. It should be Open in order to supply bleed air for pressurization. With it closed it should stop the flow of bleed air and the cockpit altitude should rise to equal the flight altitude and the differential pressure should be 0 (equal). The Razbam manual says to have the lever Open while Chuck's says to have it Closed for flight. I think Chuck got it wrong but that's understandable since it has absolutely no affect. I think the training start up mission says to close it before flight. Once again, I believe that to be wrong.

Do you have plans to sell them?

Why the need for multiple PTT switch bindings? Pretty much every real life aircraft that I've flown has a single PTT switch for each pilot (some have a supplementary PTT switch on the glareshield but they're wired in parallel with the stick / yoke PTT switch). The different radios / intercom are selected to active in the COMM panel. Even in the older aircraft, you can select which radio is in use and your single PTT switch activates the mic. I'm not going to use this feature if I have to set up 4 individual PTT switches. Am I misunderstanding how it works?

Regarding the above thread: Jul 18NineLine locked this topic NineLine said: It is technically not a bug, but we are updating the load outs for WWII with proper fuse settings. This will give all aircraft, allied and axis some long delay options. The way it was before was incorrect. It shouldn't have been "fixed" until it was right, but here we are. Well, if it's not a bug the current behavior of the bomb delay is certainly inaccurate and problematic. It absolutely needs to be addressed.

It looks like there are other modules that use the "Target Practice" nomenclature... it's just confusing... Personally, I wish ED would just name the actual round and the type of ammunition it is, it would make things so much easier, and this absolutely goes for CA too. Going down the list it's as follows (at least AFAIK): HEI-T High Explosive Incediary-Tracer: M242 HEI-T HEI - High Explosive Incediary: M56 HEI (M56A3? A4? no idea) AP Armour Piercing: M53 (though this is an API round, again - why ED should just name the round) TP - Target Practice Tracer: M220 TP-T SAPHEI High Explosive Armour Piercing PGU - PGU-28 (A/B?) SAPHEI TP - Target Practice Tracer PGU: PGU-30 (A/B?) TP-T Here's the thread that a search brought up (and there are similar others)...

Actually I was asking both but more as to what is actually meant by the "Target Practice" nomenclature. I was thinking that it might be some form of frangible round... "T-44 .30 frangible round. The projectiles were made from a mixture of lead and bakelite, and trainee gunners fired them at specially armored Bell RP-63 Kingcobras. Despite the RP-63's armor, muzzle velocity had to be kept down to 415m/sec, and the recoil-operated Browning .30 M2 guns needed some gas assistance to function. Gunsights and aircraft speeds were chosen to give trainees the correct "feeling" of the .50 that was the standard USAAF armament of the time." or maybe a Beobachtung round... B-Geschoß was a Beobachtungs or observation round: It had a small HE charge and some incendiary material, and exploded on contact with the target. In this way the pilot was able to verify that he was hitting the target. During the Battle of Britain, the British used the Dixon-De Wilde round for similar purposes, and pilots generally felt that this was extremely useful. but we didn't note any marking explosions when the rounds hit. They were HIGHLY lethal though. We felt they were more so than the "normal" ammo mixes of HE, AP, etc. See this thread: http://users.telenet.be/Emmanuel.Gustin/fgun/fgun-am.html In Cliffs of Dover the rounds were given their historical names so you could know exactly what you were loading. I really wish DCS would adopt COD's belt loading and convergence options. It would enhance what is the most realistic sim currently available.

There's an option to choose "Target Practice" as a gun ammo loadout. My squad was doing some training on our server and we were thinking that they were probably non-lethal rounds. Nope... if anything they are the most deadly. Immediate flamers. Does anyone know what the "Target Practice" rounds are for and what Luftwaffe ammo type they are supposed to be?

There seems to be some strange button mapping now for weapons release buttons. What is "dcs.FW190A9.trigger_t" ? EDIT: Looks like this weird nomenclature has been there for a long time (since the release?). I guess I mapped them by trial and error and just don't recall. This should be fixed. A new player has enough to deal with without these undecipherable button descriptions.

Thank you! I didn't know that... but before they came up with the catcher prongs, it seems that they did fling them off the bow and that the reason for adding the catchers was monetary. According to Chris Bolton (Royal Navy but I bet US Navy had the same life limit on the cables). Two shots of Phantom. The Cutlass is the oldtimey way... Chris Bolton @CcibChris Bridle arresting gear clearly seen at the end of the catapult shot. Each bridle was used 50 times. On the 50th launch it fell freely into the sea.

Here you go... no building required ... https://www.ebay.ca/itm/203560966417?hash=item2f652dd911:g:zIUAAOSwYxxg7Hkd

You think the joystick is force activated (load cells)? Base seems too thin for a gimbal set.

Saitek had consistent problems with broken wires due to the wires they used being brittle and thin. You might want to look inside to see if there are any wires about to throw in the towel. They can be tricky to solder though.

The launch bridles that are flung off the bow for each launch, I wonder how much they cost (and what they would cost today)? They must have had thousands stockpiled onboard for a cruise or were they a replenishment item?

As an aircraft mechanic I would completely agree... however, some MP servers have them spawned in the hangar hot. Even if they were cold I don't think we have tugs active in the game and good luck getting the ground crew to push you out (and it wouldn't fit through the doors anyway).

Yeah, I just tested it again and it's working in 100 rpm increments. Maybe restart of my computer removed the glitch. Thanks for checking.
