This isn't much help during landing, but for taxiing and manoeuvring try setting the parking brake to appx. 40% and then you can steer easily with throttle and rudder (just remember to release brake before take-off run!)

May as well sneak this one in here since you got an official response....the gunsight is not centred.

Check my thread - same issue, same solution (hopefully temporary)

Yep. It looks especially weird when bombers gets shot down.

Another bump for this...can any dev shed light on this? i7-7600K, Z270mb, 32GB RAM, Radeon RX 6700XT, Windows 10 Proximity to units causes massive stuttering (Even on an empty map there's stuttering but not as bad) Disabling and re-enabling Core 0 in the affinity settings (1:20) cures it completely. Same result with both ST and MT .exes. DCS.log, DxDiag, .TRK attached dcs.logDxDiag.txtstutter_invincible_test.trk

This age spread is encouraging. I didn't expect such a large proportion of under 30s - figured they were all playing Warthunder.

Well some pilots e.g. Mig-15 didn't have G-suits (IIRC) so I'm wondering if, setting aside the time taken, the experience of G-LOC is noticeably different depending on whether a pilot wears one or not.

Just to prove me wrong, Bogey Dope on Youtube (hope he doesn't mind me linking) did some tests of the new G-LOC in the F-16 and it shows without 'warm-up' the G-LOC effects match those of the Spitfire (and the rest). I re-did the F-86 test and, after a warm-up, it's behaving as as advertised. So it seems the new G-LOC effect is universal across all aircraft and the F-16 clip with which I was comparing the Spitfire et al was post-warm-up - something I should have checked beforehand. Sorry for any undue panic! e: question for the team (or anyone who knows) does the addition of a G-Suit alter the perceived effects of G-LOC (visual, auditory etc) or just the time taken for onset? (or both?)

This is from the news letter.... There is no longer any tunnel vision effect flying the Spit (or the 109, Su-27, Sabre, Mig-15 etc) even after a 'warm up'. Until yesterday's patch there was. I think what's happened is that the new G-LOC code for the F-16 has accidentally removed the graduated tunnel vision for every other aircraft. If that's not the case then which of these is realistic? Because they are not the same. F-16 f16blackout_edited.mp4 Su-27 Sabre Mig-15

It's been gradual since forever; it's only in this patch that it's now like switching off the light. Same! But seeing the difference between the Spit and the F-16 makes me think they can't both be correct.

No worries, my snark was un-called for. The Spit (and 109, and probably others) do have the same loss of colour as the F-16 (check my video), just not the gradual darkening/tunnel effect. Here's a vid I stole from Reddit for comparison. f16blackout_edit.mp4 blackout.mp4

Ah...so it's not Spitfire specific. Thanks for the vid, MM.

We've all flown the Spitfire; a lot. Try it - it's been changed. There's no longer anything to ride.

I've watched video of the new F-16's G-LOC effect but where that one is a gradual fade out the Spitfire's is sudden; like flicking a light switch. Spit gloc.trk

I'm hoping it's just a case of 'We're on it, don't worry!' I had suspected it was something to do with low Core count. My CPU (7600K) has only 4, and I've seen others with the same issue who have similar CPUs. But if you're having the same trouble with a 13700K then....

No change. Unplayable stuttering (both .exes) until disabling then re-enabling Core 0 in the affinity settings. After which it runs perfectly smooth.

If Virpil comes with its own profiling software you might want to try programming the brake to produce rapid, short pulses that don't apply full brake pressure; a bit like ABS brakes.

....with a field for duration/threshold in milliseconds. Would greatly help avoid accidental deployment, activation, and droppage.

For those that do not own (or are not able to use) physical rudder pedals, ground handling, take off, and landing in those aircraft without differential braking can be overly complicated. So how about an option in the 'Special' tab for differential braking for those aircraft the don't have it? People with pedals and toe brakes can continue as before, nothing will be taken from them. And until the day competitive taxiway racing catches on I think we can agree nobody would be gaining any kind of unfair advantage.

The WW2 freaks here are gagging for a Bf109 G-6.

I don't think it's a bug, more an unintended feature of the current engine. Here's a couple of photos over land and sea. Similar clouds* casting similar shadows. * meteorologists don't @ me

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get a notification. These are the default bindings.... LH Dashboard Lamp Brightness DECREASE - LCtrl + N LH Dashboard Lamp Brightness INCREASE - LShft + N RH Dashboard Lamp Brightness DECREASE - RCtrl + N RH Dashboard Lamp Brightness INCREASE - RShft + N ....but they're reversed: LCtrl + N increases the brightness of the left lamp, LShft + N decreases it....etc. e: and the gain is mental Spit lamps.trk

Could be. It might also be the case that with current tech increasing the shadow effect over water to look more realistic will make the shadows over land practically solid black. Couple more pics of real cloud shadows over water. Compare from game to real life

OK, I'm on Team 'Cloud Shadows Are There' - but - they are not as visible over the water as over land. A lot depends on the type of cloud and its altitude. Quick vid and some pics (Water high, clouds standard) cloudshadows.mp4 This last pic was from 22k (online) and I couldn't make out any shadows. The clouds, IIRC, were at 12k. Don't know if this is realistic. Test Normandy Clouds Test.miz
