Thanks for sharing; it's an excellent video! I'd been hoping that you'd be producing videos about the 109--keep up the good work!

Diveplane has already been at work creating a DB605 sound mod:

For what it's worth, the manual suggests that the ailerons should droop with flap extension: As Siegfried noted, this doesn't seem to be represented in DCS; however, after some cursory research, it looks like only the E series used this system and that it was discarded on later variants. If so, then the behavior is accurately modeled in DCS and the manual is slightly misleading. Either way, if anyone has any more definitive sources, please share!

Thanks to everyone in this thread who suggested setting prop pitch to 12:00 on take-off. I was starting to get frustrated with getting the Bf 109 into the air (never had problems with the Dora), but for some reason increasing the prop pitch a touch made all the difference! (Also, setting minimum prop pitch on the landing approach really helps to slow the 109 down, so thank you for that suggestion as well.)

I tried using the hat clip once, but it kept slipping and springing off my hat. X)

I'll second the G930 recommendation. I've had mine for nearly two years now and love it. Whoever figured out how to get 7.1 surround sound to come out of two speakers is a wizard. My only gripe is that it becomes a little uncomfortable to wear with glasses after a couple of hours. Guess that's a queue to take a break.

I recently ordered X-Plane 10; glad that my cash went to someone with a sarcastic sense of humor. :)

Yes the Su-25 and the Su-25T have both had 6DoF cockpits confirmed. Here's the post on the Russian forums confirming the -T. "[...] P.S.: It turns out there are already plans for a Su-25T cockpit."

The F-15C and P-51D both have full 3D, 6DoF cockpits, but many of the FC3 aircraft currently only have 2D cockpits that only allow for view yaw, pitch, and 'zoom'. Future updates will deliver 6DoF cockpits for the A-10A, Su-25, Su-25T, Su-27. I expect that the Migs will be beautified as well, but this has not been officially announced.

By even suggesting this, the cruel laws of irony dictate that the probability of this occurring are nearly zero. :smartass:

Of course they are. Doesn't mean I can't judge their marketing department. :D

3z4jxkkrrKM Really? Their tagline is "Prepare 4 Battle"? That's what they're going with? No one should ever give money to those who would so readily stoop to txtspk in their advertising.

Yeeeah, with an Xbox controller I can't dock without using the external cam. Even then it might take me two or three attempts to get it right. :doh:

Nerd3 has played a few other flight sims with some limited success (read: he actually managed to get airborne... temporarily); if you liked his A-10C video, you'd probably also like these: wnMI7_iCG4E QR0DzGS8Q2c 9:19 kills me. :megalol:

Nice video; thanks for sharing! I've been contemplating putting together a video of my own for a while. Got a few tracks saved of my AI wingmen being hilariously stupid. :doh: Damn things never point in the direction you want them to. :)
