These few things may help, in DCS manual is written about Gyro Horizon Indicator that "The horizon bar will indicate pitch up to 60°.." So, when horizon bar touches top of instrument, you are in 60° dive. pic.1 Not from manual but, when horizon bar touches marks for 30° bank from painted bank scale, you are in 30°dive. pic.2 For both you have to have precisely set horizont bar... And when you are in 15°dive, outside horizon line nearly touches top of your bulletproof windshield. pic.3

Even Mustang pilots during WWII did not know exactly this value. You do not have any AoA indicator in these planes. It was reason why they used several aids like painted lines or marks on canopy or wings. It is not answer to your question, but .. You can at least use "Info Bar" to gain reference where are AoA indicated and then "remember" approximate planes position against horizont line. But, finaly your ability to destroy target will always depend on your actual speed, vertical speed, altitude and training not on some exact "value".

confirm that, pictures are for 5./JG301 skin

Coolant volume was increased several months ago, since that it is not as easy to overheat engine as it was before that patch. efficiency was increased : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3556954&postcount=631

You perhaps did not see any server with Normandy map because you do not use BETA DCS and the most of servers is running on BETA. Now STABLE DCS is the same, so you wil see few. Unfortunately, majority of players who play WWII go on Burning Skies and this server is running on Caucasus map not on Normandy.

pictures are from K-4 ground attack tutorial, fuse was set with delay, 250kg bomb but i have to admit that sometimes when bomb hit somehow object (house, ground unit or ship etc.) it does not explode or explosion is not visible, does not matter if it is off-line ar on-line game

Corsair`s weapon bay with 20mm cannons, do we get -1C and -1D models? GREAT!

Yes you are right, even Ucle Dog was much simpler, it only gave tone to pilot`s headphones. It did not give to pilot any information about real course (means in degrees). technicians from 506th FG (458th FS) made pretty "full mission simulator" for pilot familiarization with new equipment :smartass: from 165 gallons external fuel tank I hope, one day ED give us proper radio communication and some from radio navigation for WWII planes :)

silly question, do you drop bomb then use F6 view (to see weapons) and do not see bomb`s explosion after impact? do you have bomb`s fuse set to any position "with delay" or "without delay" or you just left it in the middle "safe" position?

Hi, every fighter units involved in VLR had assigned navigation B-29. They met them after take off from Iwo, just North of island and followed them until they joined the bomber formation which they should cover over Japan. This meeting with bomber formation happened just few miles from Japan shore. Way home started at Rally Point, south of Tokyo Bay where all fighters (and lost, damaged bombers) flew first to met others and put together before flight home. Fighters met their navigation B-29s here. From this point they started flight home. Navigation B-29s circling above Rally Point had own fighter escort and they waited there as long as possible. Fighters pilots in trouble just asked any B-29 for help (and all helped) with travel home and they led them home in that case. Fighter pilots did not always find any B-29 for some reason and then they had to flight home alone, and they did it! 660 miles from Tokyo to Iwo only with magnetic compass above endless sea! Rules was when fuselage tank was empty, they immediately headed to Rally Point and search for way home to Iwo. Yes, they fought against IJA a IJN with fuel in fuselage tank! Several destroyers and submarines were along route, plus P-61 from Iwo helped during return to find the last part of their way. After UncleDog was introduced several B-29 was equipped with beacon and one was installed at top of Suribatchi on Iwo. But it was useful only with range up to 150 miles. This was only radio aid used for navigation. The most dangerous enemy was weather, it caused the majority of all loses, include the 1 June 1945 Black Friday disaster. Navigation chart was generally simply, North to target and South to home... %5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/KWtWPWl.jpg[/img]

7th AF Mustangs flew at 10000ft from Iwo to Tokyo, they flew 210MPH IAS (because of B-29 minimal speed for sufficient engines cooling). They used "special" engine setting, low RPM with hight MP, do not remember exact value. Have book home where it is written. And they had 110 gallons external fuel tanks (165 gallons when they flew with 6 HVARS), we have only 75 gallons here in DCS...

D-30 was the first model with dive flaps, si if we get P-47D-30 we will get the Thunderbolt with them.

I forgot that in MW50/3rd fuel Dora`s tank is a booster pump. It is probably reason why is MW pressure steady. Booster pump seems to be used as a MW supplier and not air from supercharger. Without it (Off C/B) MW does not work. My fault...

MW system is pressurized by supercharger. Above 7km supercharger starts losing power to keep 1,8ATA MAP, it is probably reason why MW pressurure starts falling down. There is not enough pressure from supercharger, i suppose. This makes sense to me. When use it, always when you go above 1,45ATA. Why then Dora`s MW system holds MW pressure steady up to "space" is another story.

few things -coolant set "Auto" or "Open" -manifold pressure less than 1,4ATA with MW50 set "OFF" -propeller set "AUTO" (default setting on mission start is "MANUAL")

I try to follow these, 109 is from G6/U4 handbuch, but weapon layout is the same. It seems to me that ED is close them at least 190.

You must set COALITION PRESETS to WWII during New Mission Settings on "page" where you chose map. It is pre-set to "CUSTOM" where Germany is with USA, just chage it.

Full rudder and some slight touches on brake will keep you on RWY. And tail wheel lock...

Yes, it helps :thumbup:

Is not it because you are in the air? When you are in the air, one button does not open comm menu. You must use RAlt + \ keys to open comm menu.

Fuel warning lamp extinguished because you switched On "Fuel Pump Switch" and thus pressurized fuel system. Then you do not need use Wobble pump, it is correct. I do not know if is possible/correct start without engine prime, i think no, but...

Is new WWII map shown in this video?

I think, this is the most important in case a new P-51. Not now, but it seems to be confirmed for future. :thumbup: source: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3726012&postcount=50

When you are expect climb above altitude where engine fuel pump loses the ability to keep fuel pressure. But it will not restore fuel pressure if it is lost, must use wobble pump for it. Do not forget that we have Spitfire with "early" (wobble pump and "Fuel Pressuring Cock") and "late" (fuel buster pump - Fuel Pump Switch) fuel system. You can use first or second procedure for fuel management. Simply if you use "Fuel Pump Switch" - the late, you do not need touch none of wobble and "Fuel Pressuring Cock". It was debated in past here.

Just turn ON booster pump switch (Fuel Pump Switch), is under Elevator Trim Control Wheel.
