Someone made this video of this phenomenon over a year ago. Disappointing that nothing has changed...

I'm still a little unsure on the use of the throttle and RPM control. While the propeller RPM should be fully forward on take-off, how do I handle it in flight? If I understand it correctly, the RPM lever controls the blade pitch whereas the throttle controls the amount of fuel flow to the engine, right?

I hate having to make script or profile for each aircraft and much prefer to assign controls in game. A major problem here is that many warthog buttons are not recognised by DCS (3 position flaps etc.). I was long frustrated with all of it until I found a great workaround. There is a limit to the number of buttons a device may have, but I configured the throttle only, leaving the stick to be recognised as the default Warthog stick. This leaves many more buttons and HAT functions (which can easily be assigned as generic buttons) to cover 95% of the Warthog throttle functions. You can then assign these buttons in game with greatly expanded functionality.

Saw the title and immediately wanted to post this song :P

Anyone notice that the DCS F-5E theme is quite obviously based on the Top Gun anthem? I think something along this vein would fit best.

Honestly, I think I'd rather see each dev team do what they are good at and where their passion lies. The helicopter modules from other teams have been great so far, so I don't see why we'd have to call on leatherneck to do some too.

What could be more appropriate than this?

Unfortunately, that comment is about 10 months old now. I'd be surprised if we even see the Viggen this year...

Does anyone know where all the sound files are located? I can find most sounds, but I can't find the back engine sound for instance...

Thanks, it's hard to find previous threads if they have generic titles such as "strange bug" :P

I noticed the bort numbers on the MiG-21 external skin revert to a generic number, like 000, when you zoom out.

Just for reference, this is how close they were in the movie: I always wondered what happened to their vertical stabilizers :P

Ah that's the information I was looking for. If they were labelled in Russian, then that's the way it's supposed to be. Thanks :thumbup:

Like the title says... Is there a German labels mod for the GDR MiGs? I haven't been able to find one, but I would have thought someone would have done one by now.

Just noticed this too...

True, but the hear like in helmet option is there if you want to apply it. I didn't think the helmet blocked out that much of the noise though. The intercom was essential to talk to the pilot. No way you can hear each other without. Kinda like having a vacuum cleaner running in the cockpit.

I thought it was pretty loud even in cockpit... See video: https://goo.gl/photos/kCKE3CW5P8fUSSMZA

Thanks! Temporarily unplugging it shouldn't be a problem.

I do in fact! I also have a Sidewinder FFB 2 I use for helicopters and the WW2 aircraft. You're saying if I unplug the Sidewinder, trim will work again?

I've found a few threads about trim not working in 1.5.4, but nothing on 2.0 I wanted to take the A-10c for a spin in 2.0 and the trim just won't work for me. FFB is ticked off and the controls are assigned correctly. I can see the trimmer moving on the virtual stick.

No matter what tactic you use, Vikhrs are still woefully underpowered against helicopters. You can get three or more direct hits and not bring down a Hind, where a single burst of the canon will do the same job.

This bug was originally reported over a year ago. It's kinda worrisome that it's not fixed yet. It's almost like they tried but gave up on it.

Ah, thanks, you're right! I was almost going insane over this...

This would be awesome. However, it does include a multitude of very well known und unique cities that would have to be modelled to some degree of accuracy.
