+1 Great find man ! Thanks .

This real life comparison with DCS visibility is amusing. When a simulation that doesn't have zoom levels is released (real life doesn't have zoom) than it can claim it's somewhat comparable to real life. What i think is that games where you could see well at normal levels of zoom are more realistic.In DCS i have to use insane amounts of zoom and concentration to track a plane. After 3 hours in mp my head hurts. I have a real life helicopter pilot as my uncle who i can talk to .And he has a lot of real life pilots as friends. If on a 65 inch 4k tv you don't use zoom and visibility is good than i would say that is comparable to real life .But there are few people who can buy something like that.

kontiuka I fly exclusively air to air missions. It's not a problem to do some fancy shooting with the twist stick (I have a Thrustmaster T-16000) but i do feel the lack of a pair of rudder pedals. it would improve my shooting considerably. In the end depends if you want these planes bad enought to fly them without pedals.I know i do. It's possible and fun most times but sometimes i want to .... if you know what i mean .

Me too .I loved Band of brothers. But this looks better. Release date is 2015.

What's your source ? Because wikipedia thinks he's right about wing loading. F105 D Wing loading: 93 lb/ft² (452 kg/m²) F 35 A Wing loading: 107.7 lb/ft² (526 kg/m²; 745 kg/m² max loaded) F 104 G Wing loading: 105 lb/ft² (514 kg/m²)Wing loading: 105 lb/ft² (514 kg/m²) F 16 C Block 50 Wing loading: 88.3 lb/ft² (431 kg/m²)

It's a hudge problem for me not to black out in the dora. I broke my wings on some ocasions because i had no idea how much g i was pulling .And blacking out partially is a visual indication of what kind of turn i'm doing in a dogfight when not looking at my diales. Kwiatek " no risk with damage of plane airframe." there is risk of damage but you have to fly the dora to know that.

Fps is lower indeed(17-20 cockpit) but playable. I didn't try more than one Mig on the same map though. Everything else about the 21 is excellent.

Just an idea for ED or a third party: why not try to make the Mig 29 sniper It was designed by AEROSTAR S.A. Bacau, Daimler Chrysler Aerospace (Germany) and Elbit Systems Ltd. (Israel). Now it's a museum piece. If it was possible to bring the Eurofighter to DCS i'm thinking this might also be doable because modernisation was done by western firms.So all modern systems are western build.Maybe i't not as hard to obtain access , data as it is for russian modernised migs. Just my 2 cents.

Some dude kamikaze killed me while i was taxiing. :D

You're hurting my feelings. gsh 301 and m61 . :D

After looking at USARStarkey tracks: The damage model looks ok to me but: In the old il2 the pilot could sustain all kinds of injury form gun fire. It was debated that the pilot was too vulnerable.So i'm not sure if this should be implemented or not in DCS. The f15 looks to go down easier but does it have self sealing fuel tanks ? And of course the jet engines are exposed at the back and easy to destroy.

:music_whistling: .

@USARStarkey i'll take a look at those traks tomorow and tell you my honest opinion. The D9 cannon damage model seems fine to me : I got some quick kills with the p51 vs human players(B4 dora was available so p51 vs p51) while booming them.My gun fire converged on the engine and it exploded (Might have been luck).With the d9 i's easyer because convergence is irrelevant.

You should have posted info about the possibility to choose ammo type or lack of in real life. If you don't know that don't make comments regarding ammo type and my shooting. Btw how do you know when the guns are overmodeled ?

Souldn't there be a way to choose ammo type like just minengeschoss if i want ? And is there any way to fire just the cannons on the dora ? Have't had much flying time but would be nice to see if a turning plane that pulls G get's left without a wing faster by gunfire.

Maybe he used Tacview .

F-86 Kills Vs Excellent Ai Mig-15

I keep blowing up my engines. I know some things about creating shot down planes :lol: but my poor engine management is becoming a problem. I know you can use mw50 for 10 min with a 5 min brake but no more than 40 min in total. But other than that not much. What rpm should i use for cruise ? What rpm should i use after i shut down mw50 ? I opend my radiator flaps some 13 s worth. Should i open them fully ? Any advice is welcome.

Here's one of my tracks. I practice vs friendly p51s. d9-firing.trk

I think SiThSpAwN might be right about issues with the post mission info. It's just a gut feeling .I got kills in a split second and the cannon hits seem too many.

In real life you don't have to zoom .So DCS is not real life.

Why are people making such a big deal about the 1945 d9. The me262 was also the correct historical opponent for the p51 and had far better performance than a 1945 d9. I bet the same people that are asking for historical accuracy are going to ask for the 262 again and again to be available in Mp once it's released by ed.

1.Indeed i have to zoom a lot to be able to see properly. 2.When more than 3 planes star firing + AAA it tears my screen apart (screen tearing). I have a i3 proc ,8gb ram ,geeforce 570. Fraps or no fraps makes almost no difference.
