The Hanriot HD.1/HD.2 has been released. The floatplane HD.2 version:

Great photo, MysticPuma!

Possibly. And the planned aircraft would be out of place on the map. And the existing map only covers the extreme southerly part of the Caucaus front anyway.

Don't know - but you have certainly posted your question in the wrong place...

Sent. :pilotfly:

Thank you Wags. It's good to see that you are listening to us.

I think I've tracked down what was causing my problems - I was using an old Saitek RumbleForce gamepad as a secondary controller, and unplugging it has cured the crash. I've had problems with it before, and I should probably bin it...

:mad:

My dxdiag file: DxDiag.txt I've reverted back to version 1.2.7 for now, as explained here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 As far as I can tell, this version seems to work ok.

I hadn't run DCS for a couple of months. Updated to 12.8. As soon as I try to run a mission (or replay), I get a windows 'DCS has stopped working' dialog. :mad: Details: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: dcs.exe Application Version: 1.2.8.27915 Application Timestamp: 537df6ef Fault Module Name: pid.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Fault Module Timestamp: 4a5be03a Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0000000000002d52 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: da3b Additional Information 2: da3b245c387cda21ca2c9e43d0181353 Additional Information 3: cecc Additional Information 4: cecccb80368f4c66d7c4c821e8d52a15 At this point, on closing the Windows dialog DCS carries on, and I get a DCS 'Cannot open debriefing file' message. Any suggestions?

Looking good. :clap:

My first successful landing - came in rather fast though. :ermm:

Many thanks to cichlidfan for his generosity - the Huey will have a good home. :D I'm airborne :pilotfly: The copilot doesn't seem impressed by my first landing :cry_2: I'm clearly going to need time to master this beast...

A UH-1H Huey would be nice. :thumbup:

A climbing flat spin? Difficult, as the aircraft is stalled (or at least, one wing will be). As for 'roll speed', an aircraft doesn't roll in a flat spin, it yaws. I think you may have got your terminology mixed up somewhere.

At a given speed and rate of turn, the G force is fixed. Flaps make no difference whatsoever.

BBQ, Luthier explains all that in the first post. He's in the process of finalising how rewards are selected.

Regarding the 'elliptical wing effect', it is worth remembering that the Spitfire has noticeable washout too - something like 3 degrees, from memory. Consequently, the wing root should generally stall before the tips.

That was what I was wondering. As I see it, there shouldn't be any. There might possibly be a slight 'tug' on whatever holds the rocket in place, but beyond that, I can't see why there should be anything at all.

I don't expect unguided HVAR rockets to be particularly accurate - but having a recoil so they consistently miss targets to one side or the other seems a little strange to me. Anyone else have a comment?

Before that, you have to get to the runway: :music_whistling: From Bombs Away: WW II Eighth Air Force Stories http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8dwiwH26FFYC&pg=PA63&lpg=PA63&dq=me+262+towed+by+cows&source=bl&ots=pKZjjZku-B&sig=P8GIuMlnOZxCQm9QLpIKCJ0mzqg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hDNPUtvRF-nH0QXhtYGYAg&ved=0CE0Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=cow&f=false

Anyone prepared to make a serious effort to develop maps for DCS:WW2 probably deserves the sim for free.

I'd have thought that a cockpit layout that required the pilot to physically lower his whole head to see the instruments needed a little redesign. Doesn't just nodding forward work?
