  1. Could this be added in the special options tab? With my Thrustmaster throttle I have a physical detent mod, and I normally set the sim to mimic when I reach this physical detent. It works with most other modules really well. I find with the Mig 29 and the TM warthog throttle reheat is reached quite a lot before this detent. Would be really handy to have this setting.
  2. Doesn’t matter what I set this to in options frame rate in mirror is very choppy or at least what I am seeing is very choppy however I have decent frame rates in game? This is the only module where this happens can it be looked into. I use VR. EDIT: I apologise ED I jumped the gun, for some reason after restarting the game, and setting mirrors at 512 every frame the picture in the mirror is much smoother and mimics the rest of the gameplay. What I was forgetting was I needed to restart the Sim to apply these changes, as in the past you often get a prompt to say restart to make changes, and I didn't look and see the small *. But at first when loaded the Mig 29 mirrors were terribly slow. I advise if anyone experiences this experiment with your settings but remember to restart the sim. Overall I would like to say it feels dynamic, its a lovely flight model, and overall its so much fun to fly. It feels like the most convincing flight model in DCS, I'm no jet fighter pilot but I have flown aircraft and this feels great in my view. I've waited a long time for a proper Mig 29, it feels like it really belongs in DCS and is one we should have had from the start. I love this thankyou.
  3. Hi Andre. Is the latest version supporting the new Mig 29? if not can we expect an update soon. Hoping to fly the new mig29 for the first time this evening. Thanks for your good work.
  4. I apologise if this has been answered but will Murharraq Airbase Bahrain be included in Southern Iraq map? There are some missions I would love to recreate if we ever do get a Tornado.
  5. Yes it’s awesome
  6. Thought this feature was close ED as per one of your Friday newsletters. What happened?
  7. Don’t think I’ve been this excited for a module release for a long time. Probably since the F14. I’m very hyped about the fulcrum. Still pretty angry about the Razbam situation particularly the Harrier personally as I fly that a lot. But I’ll still be getting the Fulcrum 100% it’s just such a great looking jet with so much character.

    Does anyone know of a way you can definitely tell if the water injection is working? Aside from activating the water injection switch then pushing to full throttle I can’t seem to tell. Before the last update the green light would glow showing water was low. Now the light does not illuminate for me.
  9. Hi anyone else experiencing this? Bombs releasing in Auto/Laydown mode. I Tried again this morning and on first attempt bombs left the aircraft, but I realised I had set no fusing. 2nd attempt bombs would not release, so set fusing to safe again to attempt to recreate but after another go around again no release so I cant recreate that. I already have dead zone on TDC although I struggle to see why this would be a culprit but there is 100% and issue here on my setup. EDIT: I appear to have found another workaround if anyone is experiencing the same issue. If you adjust your bomb fall cue with a tap of TDC aft or forward it seems to give authorisation for the bombs to release. I have my TDC on an axis on my TM warthog same as I'm sure with most hotas users so I've had to assign a press switch for TDC Forward and AFT because the sensitivity of an axis throws the bombing cue way off. So after designating a waypoint as a target with the DESG button, the waypoint will change from circle to a diamond on the HUD, tap TDC forward with a press switch the diamond on the HUD will now have a circle around it, TDC AFT to place your bombing cue back onto its original assignment and now bombs are releasing, I've tried this now lofting (pulling at 3.0 nm 30 degree pull up) and shallow dive and level overfly release all are working.
  10. Having this exact issue but first noticed when trying to loft like I’ve done so many time before and now no longer working. I’ll look into the dead zones fix tomorrow hopefully it’s the answer
  11. Just seen this thread. But people here are talking about inside the cockpit which yeah I get especially in VR. But does anyone else notice that the canopies look too opaque with external views? Spitfire Mustang and Hornet spring to mind more than any others. If flying with cloud it’s very apparent in VR and in my opinion really spoils the external views
  12. Set Marianas ground textures to low. I notice little difference in terms of visual standards in VR but see huge performance gain. This however changes depending on maps so I use different graphics profiles for the maps I use which is a bit of a pain but that’s how it is.
  13. Well so far it’s not been acknowledged yet as an issue or discrepancy by Magnitude. Im not expecting anything to soon.

    As far as you are concerned do you feel this subject is closed Magnitude? i.e level flight speed and engine settings are where they should be?

    Nice FM Update

    Ah ok I do apologise I’m so used to people being hostile on these forums recently yes, I also saw that the drag on pylons had been changed and I haven’t tried the update yet will be interesting to see if there’s a change.
