  1. I had this problem with MiG-19 even before F-14 release. It seems to be DCS issue. I resterded application and it helped. Today I assigned some axis to Tomcat using drop down menu since usual method stopped working.

  2. P-51 and Dora are taildraggers, so I don't think that Yak experience would translate directrly to honing your skills with them. It's really fun aircraft to fly, but in my opinion the only thing that could be somewhat comparable is torque effect on takeoff. If you'd like to fly WW2 planes effectively I suggest more practice with them, and don't discourage yourself. It's like that - try to takeoff, crash, try to takeoff, crash... at some point it "clicks", and you suddenly know how to take off a Mustang. And might I suggest - practice the P-51 first, as it is easiest to fly of all the WW2 aircrafts in my opinion.

  3. Thanks for fun module. So I use realistic comms, and I bound Radio Button, and INT Button to my joystick however, there is "ralt+" command that is "push to talk". If I press either of the first two mouse coursor starts to flicker, but nothing else happens. Comms menu shows after pressing third option.

  4. Hello everyone. How can I "tell" DCS 2.5 that I have 2.2 on my disk, so new version won't need to download Nevada and Normandy from scratch over Internet? It's over 32GB of data, and with my current connection it'll take more than 2 days :D I've always had a copy of DCS installations, so I wouldn't have to download it every time I reinstall Windows, but somehow this time they don't seem to "see" each other.

  5. I had similar problem with other third party module (Mirage), and after some reading I suggest trying mapping controls in different circumstances. To be more specific: if you have black screen after assigning buttons at main menu, try the same after loading mission, and select ESC ingame menu. Or the opposite, if that happens while you are in the middle of the mission. I hope it's somewhat understandable (I'm not using english enough recently and I got rusty :D)

  6. I tried to connect to server that did not feature Viggen, and I still got timed out. In 2.0.4 however multiplyer seems to work fine, there's just not that many servers available.

    One more thing, loading times seems to take longer than usual.

  7. One needs to remember, that beside "balanced - nonbalanced" capabilities of current aircraft lineup there are obligations, that ED took after KS campaign, and that all models were chosen back then by a different team, so any additional variants of Bfs, Fws and others are all up to current developer, and probably are highly dependant on profit from what we have now. Not to mention P-47, and hopefully Me262.

    As for me, I enjoy a lot what we have now. And bow to ED for not abandoning the project.

  8. My suggestion is to use max continous settings (47" MP, 2700 RPM), and both coolers set to full open. I never actually managed to fly with full power for more than few minutes, as engine keeps dying.

    Near max ceiling you might want to use trimmers instead of stick and rudder for keeping her steady, since air is really thin up there.

    I reached over 42600 ft this way before I lost lift.
