Will take a look. Might take some time though- reading through an extensive book series, called "Spitfire Saga" about the Norwegian 331 and 332 sqns (which flew mk IX's for extended period). Thousands of pages- but I'll see what I can find.

I need to check for sources, but I am pretty sure that the mk IX had a safety function that disabled the guns on the ground. (Needed to be turned off for ground testing etc)

I shyed away from the brakes in landings, but after I started using them (gently, like Wags said), I am starting to rack up nice and clean landings. Did some formation flying with friends today... Best module I ever flew.

Thanks for the input:) However, I meant like in wallpaper/main menu size:) I guess its not available. I have made my own menu screen for now- but would very much like that specific one in full HD. Maybe they will release it later:)

Not the most important of issues, but I was hoping we would get the gorgeous render of the Mk IX used on the DCS web page/manual for our main menu screen. (And also- for me to use as a wallpaper). Personally I don't know why they did not use it for the main screen, but thats just me:) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/ Is this picture available in any way, shape or form?

Seconded! My favourite aircraft and favourite mark of same aircraft since I read The Big SHow 25 years ago up until today. Now it's mine. Unbelievable. Thank you ED!

Awesome clips!

Some information would indeed be nice as we are getting close to said date. If I need another version, it would be nice to know before the release. Strangely quiet methinks..

Fantastic clip!

Alright- I see. Does anyone know if these verbal cues exists and are used by eagle pilots? Or is it just a gaming help cue?

A couple of updates back- I heard a voice saying "Shoot" when I had good missile parameters. Never heard it again. What was that?

Will the following flight carry out ther obejctives? Engage E/A, bomb targets, reform with lead flight etc? I assume this can all be scriptet or some such wizardry- I just want to learn a quick and effiecient way of setting up missions on a squadron level.

I have actually been lucky enough to do some online flying with french pilots and that is exactly how they sound:D

Dear San... I mean ED. Hoping for: Spitfire take off and landing video (Over Normandy map) Announcement that the above map will go into pre-sale

As cool as TopGun is- I prefer not. The puns alone are insane. I will take 80's synth rock though!

DCS framework is currently built around the 4-ship flight. As I asumme most of you know, squadrons in WW2 regularly flew in larger formations, at least squadron size- for bombers- well, you know- much bigger. When flying multiplayer this is not a big issue, but it is when flying solo and when flying against AI opponents. Are there plans to include this type of formation set-up? Also- will the Spitfire and later WW2 releases have realistic voices for the period (Like the brilliant German radio mod) or will the feature the generic radio available to western aircraft?

2.0 is free, as long as you have a map it can run (NTTR and maybe Normandy if released on that platform)

Not the latest version of it I believe. (Look backa few posts.) I checked the source forum afterwards and could not find them.

Thanks!

Fired up the Mirage for a test drive after the NTTR expansion. Noticed missiles hanging in thin air. Sorry if already reported.

Not the quote I was looking for, but I found in newsletter 28.8 "We expect to release the updated Caucuses map for DCS World 2.5, the final version of the NTTR map, and the Normandy map this year." I understand that they have stated the delay of 2.5, but I have not seen a similiar statement for Normandy:) All just pure speculation off course:D

Sith, you said that there is no timeline on the map, but if memory serves- a newsletter said earlier this fall, not that long ago, that it "...is still on track for release/early access 2016". I can't remember which one, but I am quite certain and have not seen official sources stating otherwise. Just trying to justify my own cautious optimism:P

Good God...

I am experiencing super smooth performance. The map feels way more complete and populated now. Looks and plays very well. Can't wait for the enhanced reflections and lighting that is in the works:)
