Maybe I didn't explain it very well.. The engine runs if the starter is held in, as if the mags are turned on. Which should not happen as far as any aircraft I understand or know about. As the magneto is what provides the spark, so with them off the engine should turn over, but not catch and start. Hope that explanation sort of makes sense, in the current state I belive it is inaccurate unless someone can show me some documentation which says it is correct that there is a spark in the cylinder when the starter switch is engaged.

Hi all, This has long been something that has confused me. Haven't posted it in the hug section yet as I'm not sure if the P51 has a weird set up. I have always noticed that the engine catches before Hi all, I haven't posted this in the bug section as I'm not sure it is yet. Hoping we can confirm if it is correct or not. Usually with these aircraft you would start by holding down the starter and counting the prop blades, before turning the mags on and introducing a spark into the mix. This does not work in DCS. When the starter is held the engine actually fires up. If you keep the starter held down the engine will continue to run, even if the mags are off. To me this seems very wrong, can someone wiser please confirm or deny?

I'm assuming this is why I keep getting stutters as well, although possibly cpu usage related whilst looking around

Not sure if I have a poor set of setting however in vr the stuttering is frequent and makes it quite unpleasant. Which is a shame since in between the stutters it's greatly improved.

Can anyone speculate as to why my stuttering is worse when using motion reprojection? Usually I see everyone saying that's a help, but to me it gets far worse.

Thaks for taking a look! I have 32GB ram and have a 32GB page file set as well. Although the pagefile is helping I'm not sure it's working as well as it could. Debating updagrading the RAM, Cpu and mobo now £££

Hello all. Whilst I'm glad to see the CEII has received an update. I believe there is still an issue with the LOD model (lack of) meaning massive fps drops for folk in eyeline of the aircraft on MP. The sounds have been updated, however they really aren't anything like the actual aircraft. I look forward to future updates, hopefully more frequently than the gap between the last updates.

Hi, Already did those things so my crash logs are following that. I have got the game running but it seems like it struggles to load in without a CTD, using all the memory available.

An other crash just occurred. Fresh save games folder and all memory used. dcs.log dcs.log-20230311-162925.zip dxdiag.txt

Hi, Had this issue as well. When it got to 100% my pc actually crashed, then another time half the programs running crashed. Attached logs for help. dcs.log.olddcs.20230310-164733.crashdcs.log-20230310-172917.zipdcs.20230310-172917.crashdcs.20230310-172917.dmpdcs.log-20230310-185718.zipdcs.20230310-185718.crashDCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.logdebrief.logDxDiag.txt

Hi, I had a similar experience (although not bluescreen but half my programs crashed and then the pc rebooted). I had to turn textures from high to low. Then the game would run. Looking at task manager my memory went to 100% and then this happened. So could help you possibly.

+engine feathering doesnt work. Stopped functioning around november.

I don't disagree. I have all ww2 modules as I live flying them. I don't actually own the asset pack as it isn't anyway near what I'd expect yet to justify the purchase.

Can we expect some upates for the mosquito soon? Seems to have gone quiet with regards to bug fixes and getting it feature complete (plenty of good suggestions in the wish list as well). Many thanks.

Back again, just jumped in the Dora after about 2 years and the prop effect on that looks like the mosquito and the helicopter one. It isn't the same image in each eye it seems which makes it horrific to look at. It's worse in this compared to the mosquito since you are looking through the prop to fly.

Hi all, has anyone managed to look into this yet?

Anyone managed to look at this at all? I tried to post it on discord as well however the ED bot deleted my message twice.

Last time I checked it does not have a full damage model which would explain this. There are some basic expectations of a DCS product that was put to the side because the original customer didn't want them. This has led to us not getting a full fledged product which we expected. I hoped we would get more things like the yak in dcs, however my feelings changed 1 year after release with the lack of updates etc. The lack of motivation for supporting the product paid for, because its a lower earner and a low priority is disappointing. I imagine it didn't earn enough to wet the appetite to produce anything similar. Same thoughts for the CEII.

I am in the same boat. I own almost everything, but have stopped in recent times due to issues being overlooked, being told products we have paid for aren't a priority etc. It is very disappointing and can only hope there is positive change ahead. I find when I go on DCS I see an issue with an aircraft I am fairly familiar with, go to the forum to report it... and find a post or thread that I have made years prior. I still do enjoy DCS but it does take away the shine.

No progress on fixing this?

Hi all. Every warbird I have flown in dcs appears to have an excessively high oil pressure on start. P51, Spitfire, Mosquito, P47. If you followed the checklist for these aircraft, especially the merlin variety and set the engine around 1000-1200rpm to warm up you would exceed the oil max oil pressure. This is something that is all too easy to do in dcs, something isn't correct. On startup the oil pressure rockets up super high, in reality it slowly builds up and would only go over the max pressure with some serious miss management. See below video of kermit weeks starting his p51d. You can see the oil pressure gauge in the corner of the screen and it slowly rises, but never above the max rpm and is lower than our oil pressure(his rpm gauge appears to be inop at the start). I please request you to take a look at this bug as it is not reliastic for the aircraft in this sim. Many thanks. See forum post below (especially recent comment)

Hello, do we any update on this?

Hi all, I must apologies at the start of this post, I'm not trying to poke the bear or cause any issues. I don't play DCS as much as I used to and when I do I find myself coming on here asking the same questions I have been asking for years. I see for the first time in quite a while the yak has an update but just for the "cooling system". Please my I request when the yak will be getting other updates. I still see it as unfinished and not really out of beta. Looking at the bugs, none have been fixed. It still looks like there is no LOD model for the aircraft, is that correct? I understand it is not a big earner but why make the effort of making cake mixture if you aren't going to put bake it?

That would be great. It feels like the engine simulation is not as advanced as it could be. For all aircraft (jet and piston).

Was looking through YouTube to try and find a suitable cold start video. The only one I can find so far is of kermit weeks starting the p51C. Not the same but still relevant. You can just about see the oil pressure gauge on start up and it doesn't leap up and go off the scale as in DCS but instead remains within limits and quite low. @NineLine please can you revisit this and mark as a bug - this counts for most or all of the piston aircraft in the sim.
