Tried it out. To me the labels were just black. Do I need to change something in a file somewhere? Thanks.

muahaha, kneeboard maps only and get rid of ctrl-k. :renske:

I've read similar remarks about the P-51, which also has heavy controls. IIRC, its stick forces are reported as more than 20lbs per g. Supposedly this decreases after you reach about 5g. Still, your 550km/h is a helluva lot faster than 400km/h.:smilewink:

Thank you rel4y. I don't read German, but I know that our 109K-4 controls start to become stiff at a mere 400km/h near sea level. I've always thought that was a bit overdone, but that is my subjective impression based on what I've read about flying the aircraft.

Depends on airspeed and angle of attack. If you just just mean straight and level flight you'd have to compare power to airspeed ratios. But it's not a linear comparison because parasite drag is proportional to airspeed cubed...do I remember that right? Or look up the zero lift drag coefficient for each airframe. Smaller numbers are better.

I will definitely give this a try.

Bien fait. Once you merge the M-2000C has a definite advantage over the F-15C, as you show in your video. BVR the F-15C should win every time. In the first engagement I noticed that your RWR was not in your field of view. I highly suggest changing your default trackir view to the old standard where the RWR is visible with your head in the normal position. You can find the necessary changes buried somewhere in this giant thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169894 :book:

It works the same way with the F-16 where you have Cat III to limit AoA with external fuel tanks or bombs, and then you switch to Cat I once the aircraft has less weight. The Mirage 2000 is the first 4th Gen fighter in DCS to accurately represent these things.:thumbup:

Why are we using them for WW2 multiplayer? I see that the two more popular servers have them. Is it a VR thing? For me the large impostors are just so bad I can't fly with them. Obviously, anyone is free to run his server with whatever settings he likes. I haven't hosted in a long while but I might start again. No impostors is just impossible to see for WW2, but small is a workable compromise. Sorry if this is technically the wrong forum, but in the multiplayer forum this will be lost in 10 seconds amidst the discussion of multiplayer jet combat.;)

In the video the second magic is slaved to the radar even though we don't hear the tone. How does the pilot know this?

Method 1 was the first thing I tried. No change. Just tried Method 2. No change. Only way to change the Mirage controls is from the in-game esc menu. From the main menu it's still the black screen every time.

Yes, you get zero warning for Fox-1 inbound. We're waiting, expectantly, to get it.

Already tried that. Still get the black screen bug. Fortunately, I looked at an old thread and figured out that I can change the controls from the esc menu in flight. Now we're back to normal, whew!

I think my old HOTAS switch for guns is taking me to the AG gun pipper. But I can't change my controls because of the black screen bug. I am completely stuck. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=172665

That was my first thought. Only the government would pay that much...

I'm still hopeful! Russia celebrates the new year a second time on January 14th.:smilewink:

It doesn't seem like the manual was updated to reflect the change. At least, I don't see in the manual what I see in the new HUD. All I get now when I select guns is a little circle with a dot in it corresponding to boresight. The snake is gone.

You don't have it too? That's pretty surprising. Here is a track. All I do is leave the controls centered, throttle up, and let her go. First she tracks straight, but after 60 knots or so she yaws left, and the yaw accelerates until we go BOOM.:doh: This is with the latest NTTR released today, DCS 2.0.3.55945.98 Update 1. mirage yaw.zip

Just tried the latest NTTR patch. The Mirage gunsight is completely different. Is the explanation of the change buried in the giant fix-it thread?

Thank you ED! ---------------------

Thank you for this thread. I don't own the F-5, but in the Mirage 2000 it is a really awful bug.

The 109K is faster than the P-51D.:doh: We all seem to believe this, but are there charts or graphs to back it up? There is no way the P-51 climbs better than a 109K above 20,000ft, but is it faster? Does it have a clearly better sustained turn? P.S. Before you all get started, I'm talking about the in-game performance only.:smilewink:

In multiplayer the P-51 should be flown with no more than 40% fuel, and if you drop a notch of flaps you can keep up with or even beat the 109K in a horizontal turn.
