Just reflew the Channel Cold Start and Free Flight missions. Now the guages are working. Warm up and climb at 12 lbs boost and 2850 rpm at 180 mph temps at 60 degrees'ish. Cruise at 10,000 ft. maintained 60 degrees'ish and full boost and 3000 rpm diving to the deck and maintaining for 4 minutes maintained about 90 degrees coolant and oil temp was just above 80 degrees. Rad was in auto. I am happy and cannot understand why yesterday the guages moved very little. Yesterday's missions were flown just after the upgrade install. Thanks for listening. Cheers

I'll make a new one and send.

The temp guage for me stayed at 40 degrees or less. Did not rise on warmup with rads closed before takeoff. During flight, it was usually around 10 degrees with a variety of settings from cruise to full power including rpm changes all prolongued. Only once did the guage get to approximately 60 degrees. If the cooling process has been changed, should not the guage reflect that? Not sure what I am to expect in this regard. Thanks,

Dec. 16 after upgrade the rad temp guage still runs very cool. Does not rise above 60 deg. at 20K alt. and on long descent drops below 10 degrees. Ran prolongued rpm's at this alt and experiemented with boost settings from full to 4 lbs. Temp guage did not deviate. Engine does not stop as it used to when on prolongued cruise despite cool temp guage. What should the new numbers be?

Looked for your server this a.m., not showing up.

Apologies, new at this. Sent the wrong file. Hope this is the one you are looking for. dcs.zip

Several crashes in last 2 weeks to the desktop. Computer is frozen. This last one in a Spitfire on tarmac pressing comms button. Seems to happen after being online. Thanks Latest updates and all software upgraded to latest dcs.20210814-222307.zip

You are generous in your figures.

Naming conventions in all the aircraft in DCS are very problematic. They need to do a wholesale change in all areas to conform to standard military naming conventions. For example: Cap/Field/Men's Not: Men's field cap. or . . . Field cap Men's Noun first followed by adjectives to describe it. ie., What kind of Cap? The main article is a Cap. The main article is not Field and it is not Men's This puts the article in a proper nomative and alphabetical listing with descriptive adjectives that is easier to locate in a list.

The DeWilde bullet did not have a smoking tracer. It was a contact only thermal bullet. It did not burn on the way to the target like standard tracers would.

This!!

Just one more adjustment I have made is: to ensure that I do not have engines cut-out (mapped) by enthusiastic throttle pull-back through the idle detent, I have set a modifier key for the engine cut out. Pulling back passed the idle detent does nothing unless the modifier key is also pressed.

My experience is that the "feel" push-through resistance is directly related to the amount of friction settings applied to the throttle arms. Less resistance - easy pushthrough and vica versa.

Over the many pages in various threads that discuss the power of various calibre weaponry, one thing is not really discussed in more detail is the iniqueness of the round fired. Notwithstanding the .50 cal round compared to a 20mm round, the Armour Piercing Incendiary projectile (API) is quite phenomenal in itself. Fired in volume from 6 or 8 barrels can really do a lot of damage. Not knowing how the programmers have determined kinetic energy at impact, projectile penetration and then incendiary damage for the .50 cal. API, I'm wondering if the values need tweaking in addition to the damage values in the receiving target? I would also add the DeWilde .303 for British aircraft to this concern.

My TM stick has a digital control for the wheel brakes. When applying the brake lever, it immediately goes full on or full off. The Spitfire, with the same setup, has a slower response to the braking action and is shown visually on the control column lever. I would like to see the Spitfire method applied to the Mosquito. In order to use analogue, I would have to map rudder pedals but would prefer to keep controls as realistic as possible. Thanks, Catseye

Yes it can. Just select the correct option in the bindings.

A8 version designed for ground-pounding. An A4, A5 or A9 would give better AA performance.

Even with throttles pulled fully back is this real? For example, descending from altitude at idle is impossible because of the warning sound.

Did you set that option in the setup screen?

For me, if an aircraft has an engine fire or fuel tank fire, then the pilot should immediately bale out. and . . . . . . if piloted by a user, the screen should go black within several seconds if the real pilot does not bale out thus indicating death as per a crash does. Both online and offline.
