jay!so it will be removable!:thumbup:

^^this.this will go a long way, and was a very clever decision.

^^well, the normandy map they are creating can be used for pretty much all scenarios during the whole period of ww2 fortunately...

ATTENTION: LOD MOD ok...had a look at the 109 LOD models, and was pleased to see that its the first aircraft which does not use the ld_tec.edm box anymore.for people who dont know what im speaking about: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=131673&page=5 unfortunately, the fw190 and the p51 still use it.also there is consistent inconsistency between all 3 planes and their distances where LODs switch. so, i made a little mod, which basically takes advantage of the new lod model of the 109(the least detailed one which looks like a plane made out of 4boxes) and also uses it for both the p51 and the fw190. i also made sure that all LOD system follow the same rules, and LODs will all switch at the same distance and all will stop beeing rendered at the same distance(they are all fighters of the same size pretty much in the end so this makes sense)this all grants=FAIR GAMEPLAY, and also should grant a more realistic spotting in DCS....so therefore... i disabled for now one part in the integrity check, to allow this mod beeing used on our server.we will give it some time, to gather feedback from YOU about this mod.if the majority gives us positive feedback, we will enable the integrity check again, with the adjusted files, and make this mod a requirement to join...so please, feel free to use this mod, and give us feedback!its needed. the mod is jsgme ready.if you are not using jsgme, just put the files into the folder paths resembling the structure in this mod. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2264647&postcount=7

^^well maybe in future we will get russian ww2 planes and maps. currently though im also very happy that ED does not go the same route as the competitor you are speaking about but starts with a western europe late war theater.really happy here that wags asked for british airfield details.also im really happy that VEAO is doing an africa map.now we need a late war central europe map(austrian alps please :) ) and im more than happy..

well, there are claims that more 109 pilots lost their lifes during take offs and landings than during air combat...whether this is true or not i dont know.

^^yeah its an updater update...dont think it was anything else?

what update?

yeah sure, there are only so many hours in the day...but the thing is, all the work is done already...of course i dont know what their future plans are, and whether they completely re-make the LOD system, spotting system...but if not, then now with the arrival of the 109k4 we have everything we need to get at least rid off the ld_tec.edm box... i had a quick glance yesterday at the files and was positively surprised that the last lod model of the 109 is a very very basic box-plane. does it resemble a 109?well no, and yes.it just looks as much as a 109 as it looks like a p51 or any ww2 fighter plane.this model would fit for all upcoming ww2 fighter planes(as long as they are of approximately the same size).and to make use of that lod model for the p51 and for the fw190 as well, its a job of not even 1minute.change two lines in two files...thats it. and the p51 and the 190 also take advantage of that lod model, and dont use an invisble box anymore. so as the hours in the day are limited, and as i well know that the ED team is only so big, i made that little adjustment/mod, to finish the job. what i did: i made sure that the p51 and the 190 also use the proper lod model, and dont use that ld_tec.edm box anymore. also, as i am a fan of consistency as long as it makes sense, i changed the lod distances to the same numbers for all 3fighters. i also got rid off the 4th lod model of the 109 which is responsible of the changed shape of the wings. so, even if ED has something better in the plans already, something way more advanced which will take time to finish, which i can understand, i would expect to give us something like this meanwhile.please, devs, feel free to take exactly this mod, and implement it into the next patch so we have something official. until you come up with your finished work. LOD.zip

yes, the LOD models are really bad.wing shape changes at quite close distances...gear is visible through the upper side of the wing.ailerons,elevators trim tabs disappear and so on and so forth. quite ugly and looks like a rush job. but more importantly, whats really annoying is, that now the 109 as the first ww2 aircraft actually uses LOD models up to 20km until it stops being rendered. but the p51 and fw190 still use this stupid ld_tec box..partially invisible and if not invisble green,fitting perfectly into the surrounding. cant believe that such an important yet really easy to fix BUG really need that long to get attention by the devs... also the inconsistency is rather annoying...all aircraft are of relative same size, but follow totally different rules of how they are rendered.i am really interested to see a logical explanation for that...:)

haha,...no 19" cheap monitor here...but eagle eyes :)

yes it was me :) and i knew from the very beginning of that dogfight that it is you russian aces fighting me... so i was careful because i knew as soon is i stick to any of you guys i will have 3others on my arse :) awesome fight!very much enjoyed that :thumbup: visibilty...thats my secret :)

no problem on the acg server.i checked so you can use it. i have to take a closer look at the file and how to make it only every 3rd round to be a tracer...other than that, i dont want to adjust the loadout itself as i would consider that as a cheat...so i wont touch them.but i will take a look and see how i can make it less tracer :)

ok according to some videos it seems plausible that the 109 Mk108 cannon would carry tracer loadouts...so i adjusted one file and made a little mod..it helps to learn to aim with the 109 cannons for sure, and maybe its even realistic. according to JST here are some "evidence" videos showing the Mk108 cannon with tracers: and: so here is the mod, its jsgme ready. otherwise just put the Weapons.lua file into the following directory: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CoreMods\WWII Units here is the mod, hope you enjoy it: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2262732&postcount=9 EDIT: new version, with real tracer loadout: tracers.zip

well, here is a little mod then, definitely helps to learn aiming with the MK108. its jsgme ready. tracers.zip

^^are you sure JST, that these are MK108 tracers?

hey guys! just wanted to ask whether some of you guys have knowledge/sources for the cannon loadouts, and whether there really never were tracers used for the 109 cannon.

jsgme is not the problem.many of us use jsgme for mods which are accepted on the server, including myself.other than some mod interfering with our integrity check, or a patch version mismatch i cannot think of why you cannot join the server.

yes i also increase manual prop pitch for landing.this with full flaps and throttle on idel, and the 109 becomes slow enough really quickly.

^^sorry QuiGon.we only used the beta on the server as the 109 was released with it already while it was still not available on the official version. normally we will stay with the official version.we do have the beta version installed on the server machine, in case a official patch goes seriously wrong and has game braking bugs, so that we are able to either run a beta or revert back to the previous version. normally we will stick with the official version though. EDIT: im really glad though, that since the 109 is out we managed a couple of times already to have a completely full server.

+1 i dont notice any aileron trim problems at all in the 109.really stable and properly trimmed out for my taste in regards of the ailerons...

what are you talking mate?random failures are definitely not in there.you're welcome edit:and yes we do run that "awful" flak script in certain areas.the script is accompanied by physical flak batteries which are destryoable of course.that way you can also get rid off the "awful flak script". :)

what, they took that away from us???

acg ww2

im not part of DOW anymore since a few months.
