Really? That's really good news.

Sure. I don't know why. But I have a bad feeling for the Normandy map.

Nearly all of them are sales promotion threads. Are there any progress reports?

It's weird then. I clearly remember when I practiced flying the Dora when it was released. It did flip over very easily. After a patch, it was fixed. Anyway, I have no difficulty to rein this bird. Let's hope the Normandy map will be out soon. There has been hardly development progress update since the NTTR was released. Does Wag still publish monthly newsletters? I haven't seen one for a looooooooooong time.

Of cause the FM of Dora was changed after the video is released. One is the rudder authority which Erich mentioned in the video. The other is the wheel brakes. Before the video was released, the Dora will flip over while applying full brakes, which is incorrect according to Erich's statement. Although I seldom post, I read the forum regularly.

I'm sure they had said something similar to this with Dora before the interview video was released in response to player's complains of the FM. But after the interview video was released, the FM of Dora was changed according the input from Erich Brunotte. I'm sure there is still room to improve the FM of the Kurfurst.

The reason I dislike it because I think it is unrealistic, not that I am not able to fly it or something else. By your logic, it is actually Eagle Dynamics that should produce evidence to support their claim which they did with the Dora. Now they need to ask a Kurfurst pilot to test fly it.

OK. Perhaps I didn't word it correctly. It meant difficulty by struggling. I am totally competent for this bird.

I didn't say I was performing a BnZ.

A lot of times, you don't need an expert to tell you something is unrealistic before you realize it. For example, Sun won't rise from west. Again, this is a simple truth that even a 3-year-old can understand. By your logic, nobody is eligible for making the FM of this plane and it's meaningless to discuss it. The correctness of the FM of this plane will forever be unknown. I'm wondering how all the WW2 flight sim developers out there would respond to your argument.

It's the same with zero throttle. Try it for yourself. And the T/W ration of the Kurfurst is far from 1. Even a Su-27 won't behave like that.

Finally a sensible answer. It's not that it stalls at the top of a zoom climb. It's actually the opposite, it won't stall. With the speed at around 100 km/h IAS at the top of a zoom, its head should naturally drop down without any control input. In the game, however, it will float in the air horizontally for 10+ seconds. You need to pull quite an amount of stick to make its head drop. No plane will hang upside down at 100 km/h IAS for such a long time.

To err is human. A man can't be always right, no matter how experienced he/she is. This is a simple truth that even a 3-year-old can understand. No one knows how that veteran and actual 109 pilot actually talk about the Kurfurst. But from this [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvKs9VLUcCg]interview video[/ame], you can clearly see that the veteran 190D pilot called Erich Brunotte kept complaining about the flight model when he first trying to fly the DCS Dora in front of a screen. Isn't the FM of Dora made by the experienced aeronautical engineer you talked about? Why he failed to make it right? What makes you think that every person that complains the FM of DCS planes does not know how to fly? By that logic, if Eagle Dynamics released the above video without telling you who that old man is, will you ask him to learn to fly? Wanna have a duel? Although I haven't flown this plane for over a year. I have faith to knock you out of the sky any day. :smilewink:

So you meant that the FM maker of this plane has flown this plane in real life? If it is true, I will apologize.

I stopped play Kurfurst 14 months ago because of its awfully unrealistic FM. Today, I fired up the game hoping that my favorite WWII fighter will live up to what it was in real life. Its FM does improve a lot. But its stability at the top of a zoom climb still doesn't feel right. I can stand its strong tendency to pitch up. The its poor stability at the top of a zoom make it very difficult to do BnZ.

I've never seen any 3D game of 3D software that uses the same external camera movement configuration as the one of DCS. I concur adding an option to reverse the camera movement.

How to uninstall Saitek driver and SST software? I fail to find an corresponding entry in the programs and feature screen.

We need a glossy skin for Ka-50, desperately.

When will the real dedicated server come out?

Back when FC2 came out, I made myself a profile and play Su-27 for some time, then I went back to IL-2 and haven't seriously played FC since then. Now since 1.5 has come out with tons of improvements and the FM of Bf-109K-4 still needs polishing. I'm considering spending some time to learn to fly the flanker seriously. Since a lot has changed for the flanker, I'm looking for a good configuration layout for X52 or X52 pro from experienced Su-27 pilots so that I can adjust the layout of my own profile in SST. Thanks in advance. Best regards,

I'm with gavagai and Hummingbird. And the plane tends to pitch up by itself when it is about to fly vertically up in a zoom.

The glossy skin of the Bf 109 looks amazing and very immersive in 1.5. But the skin of the Ka-50 is still matte as it was in 1.2, which becomes an immersion killer in the super realistic graphics engine. P.S. I've maxed out the graphics settings.

It does look nice in EDGE. However, I doubt you are able to fly it in EDGE when you get it.

I've never heard that 109s tend to nose up thus heavily. It requests a very hard forward push to keep it flying level. Let alone maneuvering it.

Track's attached. I do have sync option enabled. But my elevator trim controls are set on buttons, not on a axis. The configured axes are pitch, bank, yaw and throttle. I had made sure they were correctly calibrated. test.trk
