thank you!

The summer sale started today: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/ I indulged myself with a few Campaigns Didn't purchase any Modules as just a few days ago I bought the F4U Cheers to all, Eduardo PD: question: which is more correct, began or begun?

Probably they were referring to an updated 2.0 version of the Mig-21 ... I agree that it is still too son, but once the F4U is more mature I'd love to see M3 focusing on a paid upgrade to the -21, like the A-10C2 or the BS3 (not the F5E remaster, which was merely an aesthetics upgrade)

I fail to see your point

Acting and story so-so, but many scenes featuring Corsairs .. well worth the watch:

Right at this moment the P-47 is better: Pros of the P47: More immersive engine sound. More comprehensive control bindings. And most important for me, there are a couple of truly excellent Campaigns available at very reasonable cost. Its only Con would be no carrier operations. The F4U has great Pro: it has a WW2 map available for free, while for the P-47 they are payware. Edit: just realized that this is irrelevant, as the P-47 can also employ this map As the F4U matures during its EA period, this balance will change.

You can easily customize your default head position, with this procedure (its for a modern jet, but works the same with warbirds): a) Begin by pressing the 5 key on the numeric Pad, to center the current view. You won’t notice any effect if it is already centered. b) Now press the [NumPad Enter] key, to re-set the View Zoom back to neutral (1x). Again, you won’t notice any effect if the Zoom is already at neutral. c) Headtracking OFF. If you are using a Head tracking device, for an easier POV adjustment press its software hotkey to center its view, and then press its hotkey to stop or pause the Head tracking. d) Move your virtual head forward or back with [RCtl + RShf + NumPad*] or [RCtl + RShf + NumPad/] until the whole width of HUD symbology can be seen. e) Next, move your virtual head up/down with [RCtl + RShf + NumPad8] or [RCtl + RShf + NumPad2] until the whole height of HUD symbology can be seen. f) Finally, zoom the view with [NumPad/] and [NumPad*], to adjust your view of the front panel while keeping the HUD symbology legible. g) Press [RAlt + NumPad0] to store this customized view on the [NumPad5] view position, which is the default view. h) If you are using a Head tracking device, press its hotkey to un-pause or start its software. This completes the point of view adjustment, from now on all flights with this aircraft will employ this setting as default. The setting is independent for each DCS Module.

man, I'm so jealous ... in a good way of course

perhaps you have a user mod conflicting, attach your dcs.log file to take a look.

Here is a diagram of the Hydraulic System of the F4U:

the corsair has a lot of systems that employ hydraulic power: the landing gear, flaps, wing fold, cannon arming, and the cowl flaps, all of them can operate for a bit with the engine not yet running, until the accumulator depletes. I haven't flown the p47 recently, so cannot really compare the two

at least the cowl flaps are operated hydraulically, not electric. the hydraulic system includes an accumulator so you have a bit of hydro pressure available at cold start, but will deplete fairly quickly you can employ the manual hydraulic pump at your left, to build up more pressure

I agree .. the developer should warn on the changelogs whenever they alter the keybindings, alerting the users that they may have to re-bind. Aerges and Razbam used to put this kind of warning on their changelogs, ED should have done the same.

I have experienced it, but only on a few occasions, like after a Windows reinstall, or when a DCS developer has introduced new control bindings for their aircraft. I never backup the DCS program folder, for one it currently uses 815 GB and I don't have enough free drive space for such a backup, and on the other I can always download any missing or damaged file from this folder using the "DCS_Updater.exe Repair" command. Yes, its always useful to have a backup of it and it is usually small enough, mine is just 7.1 GB. However, on my case I prefer to have a continuous backup, by placing most DCS config folders on a Cloud Drive using windows hard links: This only works if the updated DCS does not include new bindings on some modules, or if the Windows USB configuration has not changed between the backup and the restore. Besides, it is unnecesary as DCS updates never touches your Saved Games folder. Before updating DCS I only disable all my user mods, for this I employ the OvGME mod manager utility, and re-enable them after the update. Can you show us the contents of your CH47 input folder? I don't have that Module, but for example my F-18 folder looks like this: No, it is still the same. Not necessarily, most likely your bindings still are there, on my capture above you can see that for every device I have several bindings files, this is because DCS will generate a new one when the Windows USB ID of a device has changed.

Thank you for the credit

thanks a lot for the detailed information, will try it tonight

I trust the opinion of people with actual flight qualifications, more than those of random users:

With my new contact-less potentiometers I don't need dead zones either, except on my rudder pedals as sometimes I rest my feet pressing the pedals slightly. However, when I still had my older standard potentiometers on my HOTAS I used to have a small deadzone to prevent the flight stick from vibrating slightly when at rest.

Just tried it, but it seems it will only work with all-blue skins nice detail with the exhaust flames when dark Best regards, Eduardo

hopefully all the additional clues that this thread provides should help ED to pinpoint the problem.

Maybe that's why I've never had this issue ... I have the launcher disabled (personal preference) :

here you go: Haven't yet flown it, as I'm busy with the T-45 and the F4U at the moment

Take a look at these videos, I'm sure there are some on landing and take-off: Yes, they are old videos, but the F-86 is a mature Module and has not changed on the last few years.

I got the parameter list using the software DCS-BIOS, specifically its Lua-Console utility

The F-14B has a parameter for horizontal acceleration in G: BASE_SENSOR_HORIZONTAL_ACCEL perhaps you could trigget when that parameter exceeds say 0.5 while it is on a Moving Zone placed over the catapult of the carrier?
