I had the standard eight 120's and was at angels 40 painting some newbie headed towards me in the weeds for about 15 or so. He had no idea I was there (obviously) as his RWR does not look up and I was in TWS. Fox 3.... Fox 3... Fox 3.... for all eight. One right after the other about 5 seconds apart. A friendly locked him from 3 o'clock and the bandit began climbing to my left. Four of my 120's missed but the fifth took him out followed by the sixth. (I don't remember what happened to the last two.) The guy watched his replay (I guess) because about 10 minutes later he began complaining of 120 spam not being realistic. I replied that the first four missed him.

Paid version of Fraps. Plus: Aside the "replay" not really following the original flight, record multiple short segments to avoid the famous "replay drift" or, at least, watch carefully for that drift, and use Fraps... only the replay at 1/2 speed or even 1/4 speed. You should have a SSD to put the capture and, even then, you will see your sim's FPS drop considerably. If you are using TrackIR, leave the speed normal but smooth it to its max and then slow your head down a lot! Do not compress with Fraps. Record at full 1080p and 30 fps in Fraps for as long as your SSD will permit. Edit to get the resulting slo-mo with Adobe's Premiere, After Effects or equivalent to go back up to 30 fps (normal speed) but do not recompress. Use Handbrake to compress, move to a large HD and copy over or delete the source videos to save space. Hope that helps

Scarey. But we still love you! :)

I'm not sure what went right, but after the completely clean install everything is now working properly. I have 1.2.10.32095 and all my modules. I have everything except the Mig 21 nor the Me-109 which I have not yet purchased. (Yeah, I call it the Me-109:music_whistling: ) I spent all night putting in all my controller profiles and getting a little joyriding in. Let me see tomorrow where the logs are and what they say. I did deny the update upon installing World. I downloaded and installed the modules. Then, somewhere in there, it automatically updated the updater. I thought I was going to lose everything again, but all went well. I'll look for the logs tomorrow.

Did a total uninstall, deleted folders for Eagle Dynamics, downloaded brand new DCS_World_1.2.10.32095.521-353 ran install, it wanted to update, so I let it update. "DCS has stopped working." Can't get any cleaner install than what's on my D: drive. I will uninstall (again) and reinstall, this time without an update.

Totally trashed my DCS Tried everything. DCS has stopped working. Had not intended to do the update but it updated anyway. :-[ Not my choice since I knew of the updater problems. It updated on its own. Tried repair. Tried computer restore point. Will now uninstall and reinstall. :mad:

I was flying the Dora this past weekend and really wanted to do in a Boeing B-17.

Mine is solid all the way around. The three way switch outboard on the left throttle is very weak in feel. And, unfortunately, I am beginning to get stiction (friction until you start to move) on the joystick.

Morse code problem I flew last night from Novo (air start) to Krasnodar Center with the ADF and Morse codes working perfectly. Later, I added in heavy weather, moved down near Kutaisi and tried to work there. Morse codes were totally confusing. I tried locking onto all the nearby station freqs but the audio was fubar. At one time, I got a solid lock with the codes still messed up, but the ADF needle just spun about slowly (even though I had a great signal locked needle.) I think the Georgian airspace needs work on the ADF system. Up near Krasnodar, Gelen, Krymsk, Novo, and Anapa everything seems to work fine. Oh, and yes, you DO have to watch the engine RPM or you will lose the radio completely. (I was landing and noticed it!)

I still get goosebumps watching flights like that! Great video guys.

My favorite server. Thanks guys.

Ex-Navy here. The Forrestal fire was the result of an F-4, switching from ground power to internal power, inadvertently launching a 5 inch rocket across the fantail and into an A-4's external fuel tank. The resulting hell was unleashed when burning fuel began heating the nearby outdated iron bombs which quickly cooked off, obliterating the port stern.

I would like to see a Buff (B-52) or maybe even the B-2. And, of course, the B-29, 25, 24, all the way down. Anyone want to go back to the Sopwith Camel or Fokker's Triplane?

Yeah! Oshkosh on the Black Sea!

I am just now learning how to taxi this beauty. I should be competent enough by Saturday night (9 pm in Toronto). But, oh, she's a masterful angel in the skies! The smoke exhaust linked to throttle setting is too awesome! Eagle Dynamics and BST, I LOVE YOU BOTH!

I would be very frustrated if it was withheld until into August... for whatever reason. ED said July. Don't say it if you don't mean it. But I pray to the jet turbine gods that the Sabre is flyable by the end of next week! I neeeeed this! I am so addicted to DCS and Eagle Dynamics. :pilotfly:

:-/ General rule of simulator design: people want simulators not games. DCS is not a game. It's a SIMULATOR. A really good one, too.

Scared you, didn't I? :megalol:

I'm downloading now!

When you are roaring down the highway at night about twice the legal limit and you're peering carefully at the left and right sides of the road looking for radar installations and you wish like hell you had the targeting pod to ground stabilize and zoom in. Or the RWR.

As was said in a previous post, there are many different ways to approach your landing in a Pony. So, for my two cents worth, here's how I do it. Keep in mind that with the onset of power, the P-51 will want to twist. The Merlin is a huge engine and those four prop blades are big. I make my approach high and fast, about 150 KIAS. About 15 seconds before the apron, I cut power and glide in. By the time I'm over the numbers, I'm around 120. I pull straight and level and wait for the speed to drop ever so slowly. Around 100, with no power on, I slightly nose up and stall onto a perfect three point. If I'm too high, I do bounce a bit, but I let her bounce as she wishes. Usually, I am at a couple feet about the pavement at the stall. No bounce. Of course, this is a power off landing and, as such, when something happens to force a go-around, adding power will induce a lot of bank and twist. Just practice touch and go's to get the feel of going from windmilling to lots of torque. Look out your window when you add power. See what the Pony wants to do. Ease in the correction as you ease the power. Hope this helps you find your way of landing. Since you are flying a great plane in a great study sim, you are a great pilot (if you're not yet, you WILL be soon! :)

Two very idle cards. See my sig for specs

I'm sure everyone knows that DCS is the absolute top of the line in flight sims. The Mig-21 is going to be awesome, even for DCS. Take your time, Leathernecks. Do it right. I will do my best to study this aircraft and fly it as professional-like as you expect me to.
