Yes! And I hope it would be a late war type, not Battle of Britain.

So how is this new channel map? Why should I want it when I already have the Normandy map? We don't have any of the planes that go with it except for the Spit IX.

Please add force feedback when you can. It works great with all the WW2 mods, but not with the P-47 (yet). Thanks!

Give me the P-47M or give me death.

Good to see who gets special treatment for having a youtube channel. Some of us have been waiting since the original kickstart for the P-47.

Is it? I've spent a good chunk of change on DCS modules and it's annoying to see others putting it through its paces before I can. :mad:

You hear one sound, but you're being hit by a lot more than one shell. Anyway, come to think of it, the F-18 also goes down with one sidewinder. Sorry everyone, but for now I think the F-14 is not in line with the other fighters. I'd like to hear from Heatblur and ED about the DM and what we can expect in the future.

Recommended this as an entry level stick to a friend, and suddenly the prices are through the ceiling. Was it discontinued or something? I don't know of any comparable entry level stick.

This F-14 is more difficult to bring down than other twin-engined fighters, a lot more difficult. More than 75% of the time it takes two sidewinders up the tailpipe to be sure it's dead. F-15 and Su-27 are both usually dead with just one. FWIW, this is in multiplayer against other human opponents.

But there is no setting in the mission editor to adjust an aircraft's config for an airstart. This is done by Razbam.

It's like that for every quickstart missin, offline too, don't think it's the server.

Been flying on some dogfighting servers and I noticed that the Mirage 2000 starts with Radar off Nav lights on IFF system off Master arm off There is no other fighter that starts so assbackward with an airstart. This post will probably end up in the abyss, but just thought I would point it out.

Perfect. Thanks. ------------------ for anyone else who reads this (some day), the file is called "autoupdate." Change 'openbeta' to 'release.'

Fair enough. But I remember that if you install the "release" it only asks you to update to the latest release. No?

I successfully rolled back to the release to fly on a specific server. However, now I am always prompted to update to the open beta. Any additional secrets to type into the dos prompt? I'm considering 2 installs because I have the space on my SSDs, but it would be nice not to be constantly prompted to update to beta.

Pass I've spent lots and lots of money on DCS, and I think I'll pass on this one. It's not the price, which is only a trifle, but DLC fatigue. I buy your aircraft, I buy your maps, but I ain't gonna buy your boat!:music_whistling:

How is that helpful? If the bug requires you to do it then that is the solution until it is fixed.

Yes you do.

I also noticed that during the loading screen multiplayer will ctd if you alt tabbed and looking at another window.

This open beta is very unstable in multiplayer. But you almost have to use open beta to play multiplayer....:joystick: Sorry, I know this isn't helpful.:cry:

Thank you for this post. Solved my issue, too.

As soon as you make the map and ground assets separate purchases from the airplanes you've decided you don't care about popularity. Anyway, the DCS WW2 planset is a chronological mismatch, and so is the current map, and so is the future map. I would really like to see an effort to have some consistency moving forward, but it looks like it is too late.

My experience is that with less than 40% fuel the P-51 can even out-turn the 109K in a flat circle. I reduce the default fuel load to 30% usually (sorry Hot Tom!). But flat circles aren't worth as much as the 109K's impressive climbrate and the near impossibility of overheating its engine. Also, the 190D-9 is underrated in my opinion. It has the most balanced controls of all our fighters, and when flown with group tactics it is simply the best. Truckload of ammo, good visibility, fast, accelerates well, rolls like a top... the only place it doesn't shine is furballing on the deck, if that's anyone's thing. Keep hoping for a Spit 14, P-47M, Tempest, or whatever...

This is the way to go because, as I said in the OP, it is not realistic to expect people to downgrade. Any server owner who took away MW50 would probably see the players migrate somewhere else. So, yes, a better Mustang, a Spit XIV, a Tempest, I don't really care, just something so it's more comparable. But we're going to see a Me-262 before any of those, so I'm wasting my breath.

No, pilot skill and teamwork just make the pilots better than their opponents. Aircraft performance remains unchanged, unless you are fighting someone who is so incompetent he cannot manage his engine correctly. Look, I've been playing ww2 combat sims online since dial up. I don't need a lesson on the importance of practice, teamwork, etc. Let's just stick to the facts about aircraft performance. The 190D-9 and 109K-4 are in a class above our 67" Hg P-51 and 1942 Spit IX. It is accurate, yes, but I like to fly German planes sometimes and I just feel kind of cheap if I have a huge leg up on my opponents. P.S. Didn't we fly in a AH scenario together way back? ;)
