Well hopefully we can get some confirmation soon.

Well all I know is since discovering this where the rpm lever is now dropping lower for me I can undoubtedly see a trail of faint black smoke from the airplane. Similar to the smoke trail from a F4 and B52. Maybe that’s also combined with having maximum throttle setting as well. Also it does explain why my speed went from 260kts to 320kts. Also when this RPM lever drops it also affects the distance the cowl flaps open. When we get some kind of confirmation from the devs then I guess it will all make sense.

When you do external view can you see a faint trail of black smoke when you have your axis set to maximum? What is presume is the water injection.

When I’m next on my PC I shall look at the figures I get for RPM. I don’t remember what they were. What I do know is I’ve gone from level flight of 260 kts to 320 kts since discovering this. 320 is more like the published level speed of the Corsair.

You can physically see the RPM lever move 2-3 more inches down, so if it’s a glitch it’s also been graphically modelled as well. also there the smoke that trails from the airplane once the RPM lever drops further as well.

Ah ok thanks for the advice shall try that when I’m next on DCS.

I think you are right in that when I force the throttle further down with the mouse as described on the video on Hind75s post I can see the smoke which I assume is the burning/steaming water, on external views. Its a shame no keybinds seem to work as a workaround for the time being, hopefully a hotfix will address it.

I now see exactly what you mean, just tried it and yes got over 300kts level flight. I tried mapping a button instead of an axis to increase to maximum RPM but that doesn't work seems as though only the mouse increases your RPM to maximum, Throttle axis seems fine though.

Difficult to see in this video so your saying your axis is not able to take your RPM to maximum?

Tried a mission on Marianas doesn’t seem as though you can set temp lower than 20degrees after flying Saipan to Guam started to fly home got to 20000 ft set everything up as everyone has recommended but got 250-260 kts. Obviously I understand altitude has an impact on TAS. However got my wingman to rtb and he just accelerated away from me. so I guess I’m doing something wrong somewhere. overall though I have to say I am loving this module and loving flying over the PTO in WW2 scenarios. It looks stunning.

Yes beta update. Corsair has been added.

thanks for the update

That’s not the point I’m making. The point I was trying to make is that if you have a shortened deck space due to say parked aircraft and you have to lift of or leave the threshold of the deck at the edge of stalling speed you experience a difference, I experienced it and I feel they have modelled that correctly, with a long runway or a nice long carrier deck yes it’s quite straightforward

This was from say mid deck so as i crossed the threshold of the deck I was closer to stall speed. Just listened to a podcast about the F4U and once you get the aircraft to higher speeds by accounts was quite stable. Say a shore based takeoff or a longer deck run. If your slow and apply full throttle like I did I got the torque and snap roll.

Have you taken off from a carrier yet? reason I say that, I took off from a carrier and went full throttle and it flipped me over into a snap roll and went into the sea. That happened a lot with the Corsair and cost many a life. Next time I tried not with full throttle and with a bit of rudder correction once going off the end of the deck had it under control. I agree with you that on shore based takeoffs it’s fairly simple in fact trimmed nicely it just lifts of the ground by itself. Maybe that’s how she was unfortunately I’ve never flown a Corsair so can’t say for sure?

Corsair added soon?

Started a new build mission, carrier only this time its working fine. Bit puzzled I think something in the conditions or an asset or something in my original mission is causing a bug, trying to pinpoint it but so far haven't found the culprit. Thought it may be wind as I know setting wind speeds effects ILS on Caucasus but doesn't appear to be this. Anyway created a new mission and its ok now so far.

Yeah hook is definitely down. I've caught the wire on every attempt in the training mission, done it about 6 times now. Just getting different results from my created miz I'll have another look and go through things again and Try the radio freqs Thanks all.

Completed the tutorial numerous times successfully. However if I add the Essex CVN to mission editor and fly a mission the corsair wont catch a wire? Any clues anyone? The ATC doesn't appear to be working at this stage but is it because I haven't requested to land properly?

Ok thanks for the info.

Is there? If there is I’m getting it

Yes I’ve pinched your photo. Hope you don’t mind. Looks like we are after the same outcome

Yeah bit busy for next few days but I’ll have a look and try and do something can you reply with the link to the skin you like so I can match it.

I've created a Mod to quickly adapt the brilliant denissoliveira GR7/9 variant to existing British harrier skins and have shared it in the downloads section with his permission. (I take no credit for these wonderful skins!) DCS Harrier GR7/9 Nose colour Mod (For use with denissoliveira variant pack mod) Hope people get some enjoyment from it. If anybody has an interest and a capability of doing the following - and adding an extra pylon to our harrier please let me know Id absolutely love for this to happen..... Best regards everyone!

Hi everyone, I've been trying to mod the mirrors on the harrier by adjusting the mainpanel_init.lua file using this mod as a rough guide, https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329063/ I'm trying to achieve similar results to this mod but I'm not getting anywhere could anyone give some advice, Regards,
