In the 109 you have to lock it with the lever, not the stick:music_whistling:

Did you try it on different airfields? Some airfields don't supply you with ammo but with fuel. Just a guess:music_whistling:

Out of the manual: The MW/Fuel Selector Handle is used to set the MW 50 tank status. Normally, it is set on the ground before the engine is started, according to the filled liquid, and left alone for the duration of the flight. Please note that incorrectly setting this switch can have catastrophic results, by either feeding the water-methanol mixture into the fuel lines, or spraying aviation fuel into the supercharger. The liquid type (MW or fuel) can be assigned via Mission Editor in the specify Additional Properties tab of player's aircraft panel. NOTE! The liquid will be filled in this auxiliary tank if the fuel in the main tank is set not less 100 liters (34%) in the ME. The pump in the auxiliary tank is low-output device. Therefore the pumping of fuel from eiliary to main tank request about half an hour and depends of motor's manifold pressure. Soo, set the switch to fuel, and the MW50 tank feeds the main tank. But it will take some time. The MW-50 is sprayed into the supercharger, not the engine, so it shouldn´t be used to spray fuel into the supercharger as mentioned in the manual.

Despite the fact that I would love to fly the Horten, you´re absolutely right. Some other jet aircraft that saw some combat would make more sense. For example an Arado Ar-234, the first jet powered bomber used in WWII.

Thanks for sharing! Gonna try it out next time I´m in Zurich :)

The V3 is the frame that got captured by the US forces and is the one being restored in the USA nowadays. It never flew and was the version by Gothaer Waggonfabrik to get into production. The V1 was a sole glider and the V2 was the version that did 3 flights before it crashed on the fourth flight because of engine failure and killed the test pilot:music_whistling:

I think it might be some error with the repair function. I had a hard landing and lost my tail rotor. After getting repaired and all systems were resetted I tried to start the Hip again, but the Batteries were dry and external power was needed. Despite having ground power, the engines wouldn´t start. Had to switch to a "fresh" Hip and the start up worked fine.

How did you do that? My ABRIS stays in Russian, no matter what setting I use.

Thanks! Very interesting:thumbup:

Afaik, pushing the Trim button with activated heading hold has the effect off confirming the current heading to the autopilot. So no need to push the on/off button.

Make them red, call them MiGs! - Dangerzone!:D:P

There is also this wonderful Cockpit Trainer which helped me a lot. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/147/

How much angle between you and the target? Sometimes it helps to aim a little higher if the angle is too shallow.

Dear Santa, while I enjoy my Black Shark as it is I would love to have it in another version too:music_whistling:. Noo, I´m not talking about the secret Ka-52 but about the later version of the Ka-50, the Ka-50N (sometimes referred to as Ka-50Sh) as a night flight capable and modernized version of the Shark. Better optics and target acquisition at night, modernized cockpit with more glass:D and more sensors. And I think that it was tested around 1997-200x so I guess it´s not that secretive anymore. Some details: "Ka-50N (Nochnoy: Nocturnal): Also reported as Ka-50Sh. Night-capable attack version; essentially a single-seat Ka-52. Programme began 1993; originally based on TpSPO-V and Merkury LLLTV systems, which tested on Ka-50 development aircraft. Ka-50N first reported April 1997 as conversion of prototype 018 with Thomson-CSF Victor FLIR turret above the nose and Arbalet (crossbow) mast-mounted radar, plus second TV screen in cockpit; FLIR integrated with Uralskyi Optiko- Mekhanicheskyi Zavod (UOMZ) Samshit-50 (Laurel-50) electro-optic sighting system, incorporating French IR set. First flight variously reported as 4 March or 5 May 1997; programmed improvements included replacement of PA-4-3 paper moving map with digital equivalent; by August 1997, FLIR turret was repositioned below nose and Arbalet was removed; by mid-1998, had IT-23 CRT display replaced by TV-109, and HUD removed and replaced by Marconi helmet display. Proposed new cockpit shown in September 1998, having two Russkaya Avionika 203 x 152mm LCDs and central CRT for sensor imagery. Indigenous avionics intended for any local production orders; French systems as interim solution and standard for export. Republic of Korea Army evaluated both the Ka-50N and the baseline Ka-50. In 1999, pre-production aircraft 014 was exhibited with a UOMZ GOES sensor turret in place of Shkval." Filled with hope and sincerely yours, a passionate rotorhead:pilotfly:

Well, since the second "franchise" in production is called "DCS:WWII - Europe 1944-1945" I bet on an American or Russian plane:music_whistling:

During my military service being a passanger in: - C-160 Transall - CH-53 - UH-1D - Bo-105 - EC-135T

+1:thumbup:

Keep the autopilots off in the Shark and you have a different feeling aswell ;) But you´re right, the Huey is awesome :)

I don´t know if anybody already said this but the Deutsche Museum in Munich is in possession of all the original blueprints, construction drawings and materials about the Horten H.IX/Ho 229. They have been given back by American authorities and are accessable to the public through their archive page. You need to go to the museum after setting up an appointment and can view and copy all the material.

Haven´t tried it out in game yet, but if I understand it correctly then it doesn´t work for the Ka-50 because of the missing tail rotor? Am I correct?:book:
