Bottom line, to answer OP - yes it seems it has. ED have sold it, made their money, moved on to new shiny modules. Poor Mosquito deserved a LOT better than what it got here...
-
Because there is simple no need - there are numerous onboard videos of a Mossie rebuilt in NZ flying low level around Auckland without the warning horn sounding, including views of the manifold pressure, throttle position etc. Even the warning horn sounding in flight when he pulls the power RIGHT BACK to maintain slow formation. It also just takes having room-temperature IQ to know that flying around at MAX CONTINUOUS power setting of 7 lbs of boost you WOULD NOT have the gear warning horn blaring the entire time - I mean REALLY? The boost/throttle position relationship is just wrong. I mean I could ring up some mates working in Auckland rebuilding the things - by why bother, ED would just completely ignore my input anyway. The entire power delivery of the DCS Mossie has been totally incorrect for years and ED steadfastly refuse to admit it. Is the same as the Airspeed indicator reading TEMP of MPH - these aircraft were developed by computer programmers that simply have no idea about the aircraft they are developing, which is fine (not having a dig at the devs 9Line!) - but they need to accept when they have implemented the operation incorrectly, or misread an image of an ASI where the needle was obviously covering the wording (and as they do not know any better - anyone even remotely educated in aircraft knows you don't measure the temperature of your speed....) implement the wrong info/operation. I think ED would gain a lot of respect from their community if they were more willing to admit they were wrong and make effort to correct. Have been flying DCS for a very long time and it is very common to see ED adamantly profess their particular FM or system is absolutely 100% correct and has been tested by in-house SME's etc and is operating correctly...then 2 years later, X aircraft FM to receive complete overhaul (thinking of one specific fighter in particular...). Really? What happened to 100% correct? I realize it is probably easier to shut people up in the forums if you just refuse to admit it is in fact not correct, is just a shame that's all, as things like the Mossie just never get 'fixed'. Just my 2c, not gonna change anything, but poor Mossie is sitting in my hangar till fixed, and as a Kiwi and ex-RNZAF aircrew that is very sad.

DCS Apache seems to have the most unstable 'stability' system of any aircraft in the sim - surely it can't be that bad IRL? Have also shelved the Apache till it behaves like an aircraft with a actual 'stability' system.
-
Aapparently it is ok to have a 'skip BIT test' button for the Apache FCR, but not for the ATP BIT on the Viper

All this talk of drive space - at least we have understanding 3rd-party devs that are nice enough to use up 31.4GB of your drive space for aircraft liveries.....of two AI aircraft.. (So yes they are in your install if you have the aircraft installed or not) 17.1GB - F14 14.3GB - F-4E Don't get me wrong, I love HB aircraft...but I mean come on..
-
So today the launcher has decided to launch with Chinese? language...What??..... Let me guess - english conflicts with ED logic? 'Deal with it' response posted and marked as 'solution' by 'someone' in 3....2...1... EDIT: Yesssss - my language is selected to English - sigh.

You can find the latest DCS: AH-64D manual in your local install here: Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Doc

Good idea - not really interested in seeing blue units in target list unless specifically called for by some mission parameter. Should really defult to just listing red units perhaps.
-
Ah ok - yea I had uninstalled the Moquito Module due to the ridiculous fantasy power curve with warning horn sounding continously at the Max Cont power setting of +7 lbs....guess I will be deleting it again lol. Is why I don't buy new modules anymore... Riiiiight.. Well, my hats off then to the brave men that flew the Mosquito across Europe at Max Continous power setting of +7 Lbs boost with the gear warning horn sounding the entire time - guess it helped drown out the sound of flak explosions....
-
Latest Changelog.... DCS: Mosquito FB VI by Eaglе Dynamics Fixed. Undercarriage warning horn sound in improper conditions Gear warning buzzer still sounding at +7 lbs of Boost??? Why say it is fixed?
-
Haha it's all gd BN - just giving you a hard time. I also totally agree with you - was interested in the Afghan map as well and considered the full terrain the better deal. Just saw a few issues with slow mesh/texture loading when I trialled it last week so just investigating before purchase. Shame Kola doesn't have a Trial either, as that would go well with the great new Viggen module I just bought - should have got it ages ago, awesome aircraft!

Map Terrain/Texture Loading + Wavy Runways
VampireNZ replied to VampireNZ's topic in DCS: Afghanistan
Oh it didn't happen on just the first flight, as I thought the same thing - it happened in a similar fashion on all my flights on the map. As I mentioned I don't experience it on any other map. As you say it might just be a thing with the 'newer' maps - as Syria would be my newest map, if you don't count Marianas WWII. But yes - def a deal breaker for me if that is the case unfortunately. -
I recently downloaded the trial of the full terrain to try it out, having operated in the area. I noticed that when I checked out the F10 map, and then went back to cockpit the terrain mesh and textures would need to re-load, which they did very slowly - like over around 5 seconds or so? I don't have anything like this problem in any of my other terrains, so Caucasus, Syria, Nevada etc. Is this just because it was the trial version, or how this specific terrain behaves? Overtall I thought the terrain was very nice and very familiar - but not interested if I need for the terrain and textures to re-load every time I look at the map etc. EDIT: Oh and just a quick question - what is up with some of the airstrips?? Super wavy with a ski-jump in the middle? I noticed it with a few of the smaller airstrips - can't remember the names specifically but I did try to get a pic of one of them. Is this how they are actually designed to be - or still WIP? (I can't remember getting air time in the middle of a landing roll-out IRL)

Congrats on taking the opportunity...but generally when people are asking if something is worthy buying, they would usually like non-biased opinions of people not associated with the company selling the product.... Customer: "Hmmm Is it worth buying a Toyota Tundra?" Toyota Salesman: "Absolutely!"
