@Echo38 You just make me laugh so hard man.Where does all your frustration vs the old il2 come from ? Because it's irrelevant in this discussion. The biggest aces of all time Erich Hartman , Richtofen said that they almost never dogfighted.In fact Richtofen got shot down because of loosing his cool and chasing for far too long the enemy plane. My old il2 mentality tells me that you win fights with your mind(deciding when and where to engage and to disengage) ,not with your dogfighting skill, if you enter a dogfight with a superior maneuvering plane, even if you are able to kill him you still have a big "chance" to get shot down by another enemy in the area. Because you get slow and speed=life. Look at the video posted by WildBillKelsoe tha p51 wins but his speed in the end is 0. In a multiplayer 30 vs 30 for example game what if a enemy catches you at 0 speed while he is diving at max speed? He is going to set fire to more than your tail tip. I say again speed=life, never get that slow. I'm not saing not to do a yo-yo or 2 but one should know then to disengage from a fight. When i dive with the p51 at maximum speed on a 109 in the old il2 i only need a split second burst to brake a wing off. Because the speed vectors of my plane and my rounds combine, and the mg rounds have a lot more energy. kinetic energy is calculated like this: Ek = ½mv2 (that is m*(V*V)/2) So this equation reveals that the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed. That means that for a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. For a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.So if you shoot at max speed your mg rounds have far, far more distructive enery. If you shoot from low dogfight speeds like "profesor echo" here your rounds have a lot less energy so you will shoot a bucket of bullets to get the kill if you are facing a pilot that takes evasive action and not a noob. DCS AFM or arcade fm has nothing to do with this topic.My arguments are valid even for arcades like war thunder. The only arcade jokes i seen are those History Documentaries.If Candelaria did anything like that in real life he would be dead. Because if you get slow enough to do that turn(The rudder can turn the plane like that only at stalling speed) the other guy just blows you apart with a very easy deflection shooting. And at high speed you just can't get slow enough , fast enough to do that sci-fi turn. And the other guy just stands still and calmly passes through your field of fire ?And the "concentration" of your mg rounds would be 0.Shooting like that i think would be a miracle if any hits on the enemy plane are scored. All the time the germans atacked in pairs(leader , wingman).The leader attaks while the wingman watches his 6. Stuf like: the skilled german leader fights the american and everybody else wathes is TV crap. it's just as realistic as a monkey shooting down a 109 by throwing a banana while hanging from a weather baloon. If i was in that p51 i would do a downward defensive spiral because tha 51 accelerates much faster in a dive and disengage. Why should i go up when the 109 is beter in a climb ?

Just seen this hotas project on sukhoi.ru forum. http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=169104&d=1374834391 beeing made by VKB FSC Europe i think. Looks like a pak-fa stick.or from a mig 29.

262 is the reason i pledged.

Good things abour war thunder: -The terrain, clouds, sky look realy good. -The plexiglass on the canopy and the reflexions on it look awesome.And so does the volumetric light or what it's caled(rays of dinamic light in the cockpit in morning or late afternoon). -multiplayer stability, number of online players,netcode,fps. -Number of planes. Bad things. -Planes look like crap.Well compared to DCS P-51 -Cockpit(gages and stuf) looks like crap.Flat and ugly. -Fm is more or less crap. -I want to fly jets without paying money. I got to level 6 without money and i intend to play it further but only for free.

A sad day indeed .Rip

"DCS has stopped working" But hey they fixed "Flight tasking commands when not in Game Mode" :megalol: Returning to 1.2.5.

All that talk about corkscrew , propeller physics mambo jambo , and they put a big bar in front of the revi. @Nate--IRL-- you can raise your head(6dof ) but it's still a disadvantage to look over that bar.

I can advice you as a thrustmaster flight stick x user that you should go for a thrustmaster joystick : T.16000m, warthog, flight stick x hotas. The 52 pro is to expensive to replace in case of wear and tear.I would go for a T16000m with a separate throttle if possible. I heard the microsoft sidewinder ffb i also a good joystick.

For me it's the second time it happens to buy at full price a dcs module and weaks after to see the price fall greatly. I want to support the developers.But it's great to get a cupon as thanks.

@RusPilot Yes. Fc3 will include the su27 and f15 AFM when the implementation is complete.

hanging out :lol:

I wish for a Dcs me 262 but i don't think the kickstarer meter will go that high. So for myself the me 262 stretch goal is very atractive.

For me 1.2.6 brings a crash at the start of all missions. I do have a crap system but 1.2.5 was very much playable in single player and even online to some extent. Please ED make multi core support or a patch that improves performance.

I can't play any mission at any graphic setings.But i'm not upset.it's an old pc.Need to buy a new one. But previous versions worked well at least in singleplayer.

i use it

Win 7 32 bit

I got crash at the start of any mission.All previous version run perfectly in singleplayer.very decent framerates. Amd phenom 8450 4gb ram nvidia gt570

And if we get the ontion to change the 109's mk 108 nosecannon with the mk 151/20 high velocity 20mm model like in real life then it will be even more maneuverable.

I wish for a bf 109 and a spitfire.

When Lock on first apeared on the market it got my atention because of the Sus and migs.And i am sure lots of peole wold have payed top dollar for a Su-27sm. The new su33 model is great and a DCS su27s.But in the near or distant future there is a big discrepancy between the number of modern western jets and eastern ones that are in project stage.People would pay top dollar even for a Flaming Cliffs stile(semi realistic) Su 34 or 35 "simulation". Also why not build a russian hotas. i would pay even 1000$ for one.Not joking.

@GGTharos So why anounce the project if the info was not available ? Are you for real ?

If you can compare SU-27sm with F35 wich is a developing project like pak-fa for example than i rest my case. Are there 100% exact info on AA missiles like aim 120 c? No but they are still present in the game. If you were paying attention i was responding to someone about absolut realism.which is impossible to achieve in a simulation.My general idea was to have both the f35 and Su-27 in DCS. It's not normal to have a simulation where on one side you have the most modern available planes and on the other you have an 80's jet.We will be playing online F15E vs F18 or something.So what is the point of realism then. ED people are profesionals so i belive they had all needed info before anouncing the project.It is ilogical to start a project and get the info on the go.

I'm not a su27 fanboy so will buy the f15E and F18 and harrier and so on. But i would have wanted also a Su-27SM or another DCS modern russian fighter jet as realistic as could be made(not 100% i mean).I want realism but i'm not a total fanatic about it. And i see that the eastern jets are totaly neglected in terms of future projects.The only exeption being Studio Beczl: Mig-21Bis Besides in terms of realism f22 and f35 will be two jokes.

Wow so people that like western aircraft get :F18 ,F14,Eurofighter, F15E, F18E, F22 and F35A , harrier and a ton others. People that like russian aircraft get nothing. So i guess we will fight online f15 vs f 18 or something.Realistic ?

All we need now is Rafale.:lol:
