Yes I see it too

Same-ola.

I've used FFB since it came out in the Dinosaur days and I always expect it.

3 point is the way to go. Keep the tail in contact the entire run with constant back pressure on the stick. The aircraft will lift off when it gets enough speed. Ease the throttle forward in steps, letting the aircraft catch up speed wise till you increase the throttle more. It doesn't take long. When you feel the aircraft lift of the runway, ease the stick forward to avoid excessive climb attitude. Raise gear and fly away.

And don't forget the tutorials, they are helpful and informative.

The phrase Spazzing Out indicates a man of true culture. I hope the problem gets fixed.

I use the same pedals and I don't have the 'Slider' box checked...uncheck it and give it a whirl...oh I see that's Saburo's setup, well if your's has it try it unchecked!

If I understand right I think you are referring to what is also known as the 'safety switch', the little yellow bit that covers the landing gear red 'up' button on the left panel in the cockpit.

Stuka JU87-D with all the bells and whistles (and sirens). What fun! But so much not what's happening.

Or run repair, maybe that'll help:
open the cmd-window in the folder where dcs.exe is found
type in
dcs.exe - repair

I've had the engine quit right after take off and I get a 'Engine overheated' message. I now open the cowl flaps just before take off and no more issue. Seems odd though, the temps don't show that high a reading. Also make sure your oil pressure is reading right...sometimes it will go back to a low pressure reading and not advance when you advance the throttle.

Yes, lift the cover before you roll out, then when you get off the ground and hit your 'gear up' key, they will come up. Had the same problem, I just made lifting the cover part of my pre-flight checklist.
Also learned that I don't need an external power supply for startup, I only need 3 of the 5 fuel pumps turned on and...when warming up the motor if I pull the throttle all the way back after a couple minutes of warmup, the oil pressure needle moves into the area it's supposed to be for operation. If I don't throttle back, it stays just under the threshold level and it takes several more minutes to achieve the right pressure.
This plane kicks ass and is super fun!

Chocks would rule for the A8. Long engine warmup with brakes on. I always want to go get a bite or a drink but I have to sit there with my finger, well, uno

They said this:
DCS Warbirds Update
Earlier this year we showed off a greatly updated cockpit for the DCS: P-51D Mustang that will be released next month. In addition to a beautiful, new cockpit, we’re also updating the external model to include both P-51D-25 and P-51D-30 versions! This includes improvements to both the 3D model and textures.
And some other WWII cockpit updates. Nothing beyond that I suppose.

Would it be possible to move this thread to chit-chat or elsewhere?
I dare to assume most of the people have answers already and it's a bit distracting to have it in "Official Updates" section.
Yes!

Only this was mentioned...
DCS Spitfire IX
Adjusted the tint of the armoured glass.

We'll all get the A-8 :)

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2

Interestingly enough I removed the .exe from the CL parameters and attained success. I'm so glad. The un-install/re-install dance was getting very boring.
My CL now is .\dcs_updater xxxxxx It used to be (and didn't work) .\dcs_updater.exe xxxxxxx
Also interesting to me ('cause I don't really know anything) is the use of .\ before dcs_updater. But it works and I'm not too concerned about the HocusPocusness of it all.

Hi.
I'm getting this message when attempting update:
Can't move C:\Program Files\Games\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\bin/DCS.exe to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin/DCS.exe: (183) Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
I've done the delete _Downloads/cleanup/repair without success. Happened last several times update. I have to uninstall and re-install every time.
Thanks for the help!

Why do you fly FC3?
in DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3
Posted
I looked down on FC because it wasn't the FF deal the other DCS mods are. Then a buddy hosted a scenario where guys had to fly Su 27s or MiG 29s. I picked the 29 thinking I could nail it in 10 minutes.
A week and a half later and with a 116 page guidebook in hand I think I'm starting to get acquainted with it...I definitely underestimated the depth of sim I've been missing.
