Do yourself a favour and get the new Ultrawidescreen from LG, running at 3440x1440. It's bloody marvelous I tell you. http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-34UM95

Cannot Replicate. At the very least we need a track, where relevant, to accompany all reports :) See my track here: Wheel-brakes seem to hold throughout. Butcher Brake W.trk

Yeah they are, was just referring to the Pahzotron Kopyo radar channel upgrades that were necessary for the 77's and probably of more interest, the ability to drop the KAB-500 TV Guided Bomb: Now that right there is a pretty neat fire-and-get-the-hell-out-of-there boomstick.

The Bison is an export version. Bisons that went to India are amongst other things upgraded with the Kopyo radar suite (potentially R-77's with a further software upgrade, 27's, HMS with 73's). At a guess I would say that modelling is definitely hindered by lack of adequate documentation.

I honestly don't know where to start, which is probably a first for me on these forums. In any event, waiting on you to explain exactly what's happening in this vid. I am the original 'armchair-pilot' with admittedly zero knowledge of real-life aviation as it pertains to hands-on experience so please, waiting on you to provide enlightenment: 8wvyfSIWeIA Why do I enjoy this Merry-Go-Round so much? What causes the craft to induce in me such a bout of gut-wrenching giggles?

I'll ask again: Have you watched the vid? Then again, I suppose I should ask if you are aware that differential braking/toe-brake usage animation is actually modelled in the Dora? Guess what: It is! Which is incidentally exactly why I posted the In-Cockpit view zoomed in so far: So you could get a good look at the Rudder Pedals to see rudder movement AND any indication of toe-brake usage. Had you done so, you would have noticed absence of toe-brake use. In any event, I see now that spoon-feeding is necessary in this particular instance so here goes: A supplementary in-cockpit vid with controls-indicator as well as the track for you to learn from. Vid included in the case of track-replay problems. Butcher takeoff.trk 1FYIrkXeDAU

I post a video for you to have a look at me doing the exact thing I wrote down and you tell me it's impossible? :doh: :megalol: Did you watch the video? Look and Learn: It's all there. Do you want the track as well? Or are you saying that it's impossible for you? If so then all you need is to practice and you'll get it right eventually.

He should have been higher in such a small aircraft. That said, watch the AWACS at 2.20 and the Vulcan at 4.20......I think I prefer the F-16 rather than that Vulcan squatting on ma heed :megalol: Oo23ABZkIFM

Nothing is impossible. 1 - Lock your tail-wheel. 2 - Flight-stick in the centre (neutral). 3 - 100% full throttle. 4 - Dance the rudder, especially right-rudder, to keep her straight. Leave the brakes alone. 5 - Compensate for aileron movement. Take-Off in 450 metres or thereabouts. Here's a vid showing take-off and cockpit view. I have not flown the Butcher in more than a week or so, so I'm a wee bit wobbly but that's besides the point: Point is you leave the brakes alone, keep flight-stick neutral while compensating for the aileron and you're good to go at full throttle. hC1U9Imp57U

Having spent countless hours to date with my head in the cockpit I can state with certainty that it's not that bad as what you see in the vids etc etc. Youtube always does a stirling job of pulling whatever quality it is through their a$$es and depositing a HD sticker on the vid as it comes out the other side, irrespective of end-product. The english cockpit lettering is crystal clear, as are the dials and the like. What is worn is the paintwork and such but even then, it's done so well as to look aged and used, but not excessively so. It tends to lean towards the new side of worn and not at all beaten up. Granted, if you want factory-fresh you are not going to get it but then again, my personal preference says that crystal-clean would not 'fit' well with the Mig.

If you are experiencing gremlins like that, best to run a repair and see if that sorts out any issues.

Ok yeah does your CH stick input a continuous keypress or not? Easiest way to check this is as follows: When encountering a problem, attempt to replicate again with a very short mission, in this instance set up a Sabre runway-start mission. Once spawned in, test operation of Flaps with your CH throttle, ie Flaps up and Flaps down. If they are operating correctly, toggling the switch for Flaps down should extend them completely unless interrupted. If interrupted, they will stay in their position they were when interrupted. Same for Flaps Up. Just check with a quick mission and verify that they are functional or not. If not, I suspect your CH throttle switches are not sending a continuous input command.

As stated, you need to hold the LShift/LCtrl key depressed and the F key depressed for them to extend. If you press the short-cut key once and release, the flaps will not move. Flaps will only extend/retract whilst key/s is/are held down.

Which short-cut key? There are 3. Flaps operate as follows: F = Flaps completely down or completely up. Once you press F then the Flaps will automatically extend completely. If the process is at any time interrupted by pressing F again, then they will retract completely: No middle ground. LShift F = Flaps Down. Whilst holding down LShift, F key can be used to set desired degree of Flaps down. If you want 6 degrees, just hold LShift and press F and release F when desired angle is obtained. Keep going until Flaps meet their maximum deflection angle. LCtrl F = Flaps Up. Whilst holding down LCtrl, F key can be used to set desired degree of Flaps Up. If you want 10 degrees, just hold LCtrl and press F and release F when desired angle is obtained. Keep going until Flaps meet their maximum deflection angle. Same principles above can be used with lever In-Cockpit. Checked your track, took control and all is in order.

If one wishes to use complexity as a scale to judge then I'd safely assume that Leatherneck, should they want to, would knock the F-4 out of the park. What probably excludes the F-4 at present is the fact that it is a two-seater. Let's be honest, not everybody has a RIO on call 24/7 for a quick SP/MP fix and A.I. sometimes struggles with intelligence so it's a gamble for a small studio. Then again, that's just my guesswork as it pertains to two-seaters. What is however fact is that the Mig-21 is a showcase of coding mastery: Complexity as it relates to a 60's-era airframe is no problem for these Gents.

No. Replica was a GBP 20 million programme, jointly funded by BAE SYSTEMS and the Ministry of Defence via the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). Programme ran from 1994 - 1999 and illustrated the UK's ability to table an affordable, low-cost 'stealth' aircraft.

Did you highlight the relevant axis box in your options screen and clear it? Did you then click 'add' and move your collective on the X52 fully forwards and fully backwards and again and it failed to register?

It has definitely not :) That said, this is the very first DCS Fast-Jet to be released so it's satisfyingly good to know that the bar is being set sufficiently high for others to follow.

And that means what exactly when you are referring to an 'arcadish' flight model to begin with?

Yeah, at 7kg of fuel consumed per second it's real, real soon.

Correct.
