White Owl

Keeping in mind that as long as the Mustang's engine is running, barely any water would stick to the canopy. Single-engine propeller driven planes are very effective at blowing the windshield dry.

Up 'til now, I completely forgot this piece of equipment existed, so haven't ever turned it on. :huh:

Well, at least I know I'm not alone in my struggles with track playbacks. This is so frustrating... Here I am, trying to demonstrate the P-51D module for Youtube, trying to talk up the DCS WWII kickstarter, and I've had six failed tracks in a row! At least reading here, I know there's nothing more I can do about it. Time to go back to external recording tools, and enjoy that reduced frame rate and poor image quality. Blech.

Very nice. I like. :) May I suggest replacing the generic airplane silhouettes with the described aircrafts' silhouettes, to aid in visual identification?

Yes it is! I swear I searched this forum and the official website. Really, I did. Silly of me to expect a sticky or other formal notice in the video forum. Silly of me to search for "Youtube monetization." Oh well. Thanks very much. :)

Making Youtube videos would be a whole lot more appealing if I could have permission to monetize the videos. Doesn't cost ED or RRG anything, and gives video creators reason to believe they might get a little something for the work and time spent.

It's possible to build and play COOP missions in DCS World right now, so I can't imagine DCS WWII would have less functionality that way. Unfortunately, the current DCS multiplayer is kind of limited, though. If you search Luthier1's posts, you'll find he wrote about wanting to greatly improve the current MP situation, but not yet making any promises or sharing any details; it's still very very early WIP.

A little more lead time would have been nice. :huh: My Youtube channel has been inactive too long, and I'm planning to start crankin' out Let's Plays again. After reading this notice, my plan is to record some P-51 vs. FW-190 fights. I'll upload that with the explanation that the proposed DCS WWII sim will have at least that level of detail, with more 1944 specific content. Sound fair enough? I'm not one of the really bigtime Youtubers, but I can certainly spread the word to several thousand people, and strongly suggest they back you.

At over 900 posts in a single thread, with most all of the useful information buried and scattered across several pages, it looks to me like it's a necessity right now.

So happy about this. :)

I didn't realize crtl-e jettisoned the canopy too. I've been manually clicking on the release handle, then hitting ctrl-e. Sounds like I've been wasting a couple of seconds.

Oh hell, that one gave me fits. Lost count of how many attempts it took, and I never did kill all four trucks with two bombs. Eventually I caught three trucks with two bombs, then kamikazed into the fourth.

Thank you! Problem is resolved. :thumbup: Both of your imagined possibilities may have had something to do with it. I first bought the P-51 beta last year, but for one reason or another never got around to actually flying it until recently. Also, immediately after updating to 1.2.5 the sim crashed and wiped out my campaign progress, so it seems likely some other files could have been corrupted then. Thanks again. :)

Okay, so I'm not going crazy this time. But something is definitely wrong... In my Flight Controls page, there is no listed entry for War Emergency Power. It just isn't there. I checked both in P-51D Sim and P-51D Game. If I change to All and press E in order to find what that key is bound to, nothing changes. It isn't bound to anything. What could possibly cause this problem? :huh: I've changed a few keybindings from default, but am very certain I never saw any entry for WEP.

I'm feeling dumb... would somebody help a clueless newbie out? Where is the option to change the keybinding for WEP? What is it labeled in the options-controls menu? I've read every item in the list, and don't see anything like WEP.

Yes, good business sense, even if it isn't the result I would rather see.

I only picked up DCS to try out the P-51. Now I find this news, although I missed it at the time. Fantastic! I just read through the entire thread, and one kinda important detail I didn't see mentioned anywhere. Following the collapse of Maddox Games and the abandonment of Cliffs of Dover, do we know exactly who owns the rights to all that work on the Spitfire, bf-109, Hurricane, Stuka etc.? Is there any chance of RRG Studios taking those same models and upgrading them to DCS standards?

Okay, nevermind, problem solved! I just found the option to play missions individually from the mission editor. Crisis averted.

Hello there. I'm a newbie to DCS, but have already been enjoying it a great deal. Bought the P-51D module first, and that was so much fun I grabbed the A-10c while it was on sale. I have a problem. I started the stock P-51D campaign, and I've been recording the missions for a Youtube video series here: Earlier today I updated DCS World, launched the game, played through one mission... and DCS crashed to desktop. When I relaunched the game, all progress in my campaign had been wiped. It started over at mission number one. Is there any way to get that campaign progress back? By editing a file somewhere, maybe? Or how about a way to play the individual missions? I'm trying to show off the sim, and this is a serious monkey wrench in the works. Any ideas? :(
