If anything.. Oleg and Ilya will inject a 'new world' into DCS, and development should (hopefully) speed up.

Trying to upload a skin onto the eagle user site.. but the upload (15MB) seems to hang - Are there alternative ways to do this ?

NE coast of Aussie, unless there's another, and not necessarily an English speaker. Oz has a large influx of people from Indonesia, Asia, where English would not be their first language :-)

How is anyone going to teach you, if you cannot even listen to common sense. Maybe you misunderstood - I take it you're not a native english speaker !

I'm looking at a simple mechanical linkage system that, I think, will be able to emulate stick forces. :-)

Blerry cowards.. how dare they run before the aircraft.... the aircraft are supposed to retreat before ground crew... What ever happened to 'stand to the last man' (aircraft are ok to leave !), 'at all costs' :-)

Excuse if it's an obvious (answered) question.. Does DCS output control surface stick/rudder forces which are speed dependent ? I'm not sure whether this is done with Force Feedback already... but I'm looking at a mechanical application that 'stiffens/loosens' the stick/rudders dynamically.What I think at the moment is either I have to have a aircraft specific speed/force transform chart, or use the data from DCS. Essentially the result would be that the stick stiffens at speed, requiring more force/effort to move it, or loosens such at landing speeds where you have to yank the stick around to get the same effect. This will make you nice and tired after an hour of flying :-)

Mention the word Steam... and I come out with a rash... :-)

This is from a recent local airshow

The fuselage star insignia is lower than on the aircraft, but I did this on purpose as the star would cross 'texture spaces' making it difficult for sizes and alignment. I already had to split the star across front and back fuselage textures...what a mission to get that lot right.. maybe I'll lift the fuselage star when I'm more energetic !! :-)

Yeah.. I'm going on the current paint scheme of the plane in that weblink. I also knew that the nose art was on the LHS, and originally did it so... then some local guy show me that it was also on the RHS on the current a/c.. 'when in Rome' I took it for a quick spin around Vaziani.. to make sure the colours were aerodynamic :wink: I see I must paint the inside of the radiator input, and extend the 'P' a bit, not to mention the Pitot and radar colours https://www.dropbox.com/s/bk5c208a31eed98/QoH_1080.f4v (142MB (HD))

From what I understand.. that's the one. :)

Nearly finished this one.. will place it in downloads section when finished Photosite: http://www.airstrike.co.za/queen-of-hearts/ Skinpics: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vv2ay2vqo6l61rz/QoH%20%281%29.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgvylt0obmsl87g/QoH%20%282%29.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/6sjo1pwo0wicabx/QoH%20%283%29.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk8v21pcygx0eay/QoH%20%284%29.jpg

P-51

This has probably been mention before. Here's a broken wing appearing on the wrong side of the aircraft.. It looks like a simple +X, -X placement value. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9wj26n9utd20kl9/MisplacedWing.f4v

How about this idea... When one views the online server list.. you never know whether you have a flyable plane for the current server map. How about an indicator (check attached picture [or link]) that show's you that you can fly on that map (green bar) https://www.dropbox.com/s/xlsj4771xw85j4d/OnlineIndicator.jpg Most of the map descriptions give you little clue.. and this would just be an easier automated indication.

What you will find that flying slow with flaps down, can be matched with flying fast with flaps up - IOW same rate of turn. The advantage being with the faster a/c, as it can climb faster or just 'beam away' from contact.

I'm at GMT+2.. but I can drink a bit of red 'aviation gas'.. to keep me 'jumpy and ready' for GMT-5.. :) Depends what time you start though ?

The problem is that it's only P51s fighting each other... If the server only allows certain a/c colours per side, then it's not a problem... but at the mo it's really hit-n-miss. When the FW arrives into the fray it's all about IDing the a/c, which will be a lot easier. I'm used to full pit (no externals/map icons), no labels and a/c IDing for many years now.. so for me this is only frustration to the extreme, as online DFing is all about tactics and surprise.

I've done this a few times myself on other, 'cannot be mentioned sims'.... Not a problem though :-). After the first few shots.. I realised that the person hadn't crossed the line 'mentally'. Only after posting the video did I look at the bottom left hand corner... Oh! Anyway I thought it would be a nice video of how to avoid being shot down. Nice server.. and cool action. :-)

Aircraft Recognition Skills ?? (Who's on your side !!) https://www.dropbox.com/s/gituozjvajj3prl/dcs%202013-11-17%2021-03-27-21_1.avi My ping isn't that great (approx 250 if I'm lucky).. So popping onto DOW server which looks to be a bit of fun - I have no comms. Take off, gain some height and patrol over the rig. Two allies appear heading for the rig, and as they get close, a bogey appears as well in front of me, somewhere. I notice the allied planes vectoring on me like a bogey.. have they mistaken me for the bogey I'm looking for. Sure enough this 'blue' P51 is latching onto me, and I'm watching it... Ok! let me turn sharp so he can see I have the same colours/side.. fook!! he's firing.. is that fooker blind ?? (or does he want me off the server :-) ) Take avoidance action.. he'll have to do better than that... Then the Brown (german) P51 appears on his tail.. cannot he see it ?? Ok! maybe if I do a few wild moves he'll see I'm on the same side, and we can drag that 'german'. Afraid not.. my shipmate has intentions of sending me to holyland. Time for some aircraft recognition education !! A three-to-one scenario in our favour went to a complete disaster.. losing 2 to their none.. and I couldn't find the brown guy, so headed back home.

Thank you... Sire !! :-)

I thought I'd try comms with ATC without turning on the main battery.. seems like the radio functions with no power ? Screen shot shows ATC comms, battery and radio off (no lights) Edt: Can you guys see the attached pic ? (I don't see it!)

How does one unlock the external views in replay, when the external views are locked on the server ? Thanks
