Incendiary components aren't even modelled for the APIT. You can in the code add a little bit of an explosive compound, even tough it's unrealistic. You can also change so that every 5th round is a tracer. Open with Notepad++ In here you'll find data on all the shells in the game. The M2 AP bullets start at line 645, and M20 APIT starts at line 672 DCS World 2.0\Scripts\Database\Weapons\shell_table.lua OR DCS World\Config\Weapons\shell_table.lua Here you can change the amount of tracers in the belts for each of the guns in the P-51. It's all the way down the bottom. DCS World 2.0\Scripts\Database\Weapons\aircraft_gun_mounts.lua OR DCS World\Config\Weapons\aircraft_gun_mounts.lua

Check the oil pressure. Sometimes, at startup it can get really high in cold weather. I've never had any problems as long as I keep an eye on both pressure and temperature. You wouldn't happen to have the RPM set to too low, would you, gavagai?

Bugs: -Too large of a dispersion after you've been shooting until the outboard guns run out of ammo -Dispersion cannot be reset unless you respawn in a new P-51. It's unrepairable. I'm not joking when I say the dispersion can become as large as the entire gunsight, ring included, even after you've shot all the bullets. Controlled bursts doesn't matter. That alone though seems overdone. There's no way you'd get that much dispersion out of a M2 browning that has shot 400 or 270 rounds.

I usually use the left wing tank for startup, warmup and take-off. I switch tanks every 15 minutes. It works for me. Fuel imbalance isn't a huge thing, unless one tank is full and the other is empty. The fuselage tank is never used, unless I want to go on a really long flight. Full wing tanks are enough for 1 hour of flight at full throttle, so you have plenty of fuel without the fuselage tank.

Did you even read the PDF that I posted? I quote: Forward center of gravity postitions result in high stabillity and high stick forces; and as the center of gravity is moved aft, these forces become less and less until a center of gravity (called the neutral point) is reached at which no change in force occurs with changes in speed. The stick forces will reverse if the center of gravity continues to move aft and the airplane is then unstable. The neutral point for the P-51B, C and D airplanes is at 28.3% of the m.a.c." For reference, the article says the test was done with the P-51 at exactly mid CG. Mid CG stick forces is measured in the article at 20lbs/g, and in the actual 1944 report, it is at 6.3lbs/g. The article uses modified aircraft and as such it has no place here and does not prove a thing when it comes to stick forces. The P-51 had light joystick controls according to the pilot's manual as well as the report that was done with unaltered combat aircraft. End of discussion, and end of OT.

Keep in mind the data is misleading if you don't read under what conditions they were tested. A lot of the aircraft are modified in the test. Removal of a 100 gallon auxiliary tank and turbocharger in the P-47, and removal of the 85 gallon fuel tank in the P-51 to name a few. So the data is not representative of ww2 combat performance.

Something else that's interesting. Installation of bobweight in the mustang and the effect on lbs/G. Given the results, removal of the fuselage tank but not the bobweight could render the stick forces really heavy. That's maybe what's happening in the article pdf crumpp linked. 60J-28.pdf

Where did you get that image from? I'd like to read the source material, please. The article also mentions that they removed the fuselage tank. Which in the original ww2 manual, states that it made a huge difference, and with stick forces reversing after 4Gs, pulling more isn't going to be difficult.

About the so called heavy controls in the mustang. Page 66 in the reprint of the pilot's training manual says this.

DCS world is having problems with passwords using signs other than alphanumeric signs. I had. Change your password to only contain standard numbers and letters and you should be fine.

Are you sure? Take off assistance was reset for me, so I had to reduce it first.

What about the Fw 190? Should you really be able to pull over 7Gs and not black out? It seems unreal.

Okay, but would it make a difference as big as 1.5 G?

Hello there! I found that the blackout limit (where the pilot starts to black out) is around 5 Gs for the P-51D, 6.5 for the Bf 109 and 7+ for the Fw 190. I find this to be a bit unfair... If anything, they should be at the same level, considering they're still humans in the cockpit. Any probable reason as to this, or is it just overlooked?

It's enabled by default. Won't stop users from joining, but they cannot use crazy payloads.

I did try to ask for a repair. No luck. They didn't want to repair my aircraft as it didn't seem damaged. Damaged my propeller intentionally, then they did do a repair, but the guns still had crap accuracy.

But no matter how long I fly without shooting after that, the guns still stay with crap accuracy. Is it supposed to be like that or?

Hello there everyone! I have encountered a problem. I was flying on a mission where there's a lot of trucks at an abandoned airfield. I shot up trucks with my guns and after I only had my inboard guns left the spread got awful. I returned to the airfield and reloaded and all of the sudden all of my guns have a spread the size of my gunsight. What gives? Is gun overheating modelled? Is it a bug?
