Christ....get off my lawn!!!! :lol: I agree with the OP. We already have black guys flying the Red-Tail Mustangs so why not let DCS players choose their pilot's ethnicity or gender?

Subliminal advertising!

Steady - I was gliding looking for a place to ditch so I kept movement to a minimum.

This was on Burning Skies - I don't know if it happens elsewhere. The 'cure' is to leave and rejoin the server (which does work, until it starts again) but many people are experiencing it.

Maybe a bug or intentional but the P-51 starts 'gyrating' when the engine packs up.

An axis twin-engine attacker would complement the Mossie (Bf110, Me210, Me410?) but is there enough info to do a proper DCS level module?

Same. I've had more than my money's worth out of BS-1 & 2. But...the situation is different for BS-3. If you didn't want to upgrade BS-2 then you could continue using BS-1 standalone. But if you don't want/can't upgrade to BS-3 then what happens? But this is all speculation so....

Are the flood lights part of the cockpit or just for show?

Just a bug....the server switch for BDA was broken so clients could still see messages if they had them turned on.

Here's an engine failure in action. Flight time appx. 30 mins. MW-50 under 90 seconds total (non-contiguous). If the failures are temperature-based then the gauges aren't showing it.

Thanks Nine & Rik.

In Options/Misc see if this box is checked...

ams999, I just uploaded your video to Youtube so everyone can easily see the issue. Hope you don't mind - let me know if you want it taken down.

Just replayed your track and didn't see any flickering on my machine.

This is after today's update. (It's been happening since 2.5.4) Non-VR (and luckily nowhere near as bad as others are experiencing) FXO and Metashaders deleted and rebuilt (shouldn't the updater be doing this automatically?). Running nVidia driver 417.71. I've tried re-creating it (I thought it might happen at some specific angle to the sun or whatever) but I've had no success.

The Mig-15 thing took 18 months.

I was flying around in the Mustang for about an hour with no problem - I jumped into the Mig-21 and within a minute it happened.

Just to muddy the waters a bit....I've been flying around for about an hour and haven't *so far* seen a black flash. My water is full(!) and I'm running an nVidia card. Non VR. e: and there it is - bug is still there

I think this line might be referring to the black flashes

It's horrible - trying to maintain a gentle turn and you're bouncing up and down because you're constantly triggering the 2G bump. e.g.

Which can form the basis of a Korean War variant.

I think it's more or less useless above 6k.

Try it at night....place lights up like a Christmas tree! Only happens with shadows set to 'Off' or 'Flat Only'.

+1 A dim/red kneeboard/map/text etc would be great for night flying.

You want it right at the top. The centre should be visible in level flight, and if it isn't then you need to adjust your position, but the lower the pipper is the less room you have for leading the target.
