According to the original P-47 Pilot Training Manual you're supposed to turn on the defroster to prevent the canopy from fogging up. This would be a nice feature to have in DCS.

Does anyone with this problem have a track file? I find it odd that it only occurs to some of us while for others (including myself) the trim works just fine.

I agree. There are many more warbirds I'd like to see before the 262.

Not only that. If you keep accelerating with cowl flaps open you'll eventually end up in a spin.

+1 Turning off ASW helps with tearing but it has its own set of drawbacks.

Could you elaborate on "all the proper switches"?

*bump* Can we have at least some confrmation from ED that you recognised this as a bug?

For those who argue that we should not have Spit LFIX fighting 109 K4s here are some statistics: Spitfire LFIX The production for Spits LFIX began in Feb 1943. The last order (400 units) was in July 1944. The first LFIXs entered service in March 1943. During this time a total of 3971 LFIXs were produced. Spitfire XIV The production began in Aug 1943. The first XIV were delivered in Dec 1943. There were a total of 500 units produced. BF 109 K4 The production started in Aug 1944. The first units entered service in Oct 1944. 1593 units were produced. By January 1944 1/4 of all 109s were K4s. So... 1. Mk XIVs were produced simultaneously with LFIXs. In fact, production of LFIXs continued even after the XIV were introduced and there was significantly more of them. 2. K4 was not some obscure prototype variant that rarely seen action. 3. Historically speaking, confrontations between LFIXs and K4 were much more likely that between Mk XIVs and K4s.

Actually, this topic is a great study why someone might not like this awesome plane.

There you go. First test: WEP using water injection button (no lock). As soon as I pull negative Gs the water stops flowing and doesn't start. P-47 WEP test_negative G_water inj button.trk Second test: WEP using button lock. Water injection stops for the duration of negative G but then turns on when you return to positive Gs. P-47 WEP test_normal operation_negative G_water inj lock.trk This is mostly an issue with the early P-47D-30 as it has no water injection lock. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Same thing for me. One more thing. You can pull negative G before first usage of WEP and it will work. But when you use WEP and then pull negative Gs it will stop working and won't work again. Cheers.

To be honest, I'd rather wait and get a relatively bug-free version from the start.

I'm more interested in how it will work with VR.

It would be a good idea for mission/campaign devs to add expected mission time to mission descriptions.

IMHO it's a personal thing. First I wouldn't bother with RAM, as I don't think DSC would benefit from additional 16gb. As for GPU vs warthog... What is your current HOTAS? What bothers you the most when playing DCS? If you're struggling with controls, or want more immersion, go for warthog. If you're struggling with fps or the game doesn't look as good as you'd like, go for GPU. PS. If you decide to get the GPU, don't buy the 2060. Wait for 30 series. Also, the idea that non RT cards will soon become obsolete is bs. Even if raytracing will be introduced to DCS I'm 100% sure it will be an optional thing.

Try this. When approaching the target shoot a very short burst and observe where the bullets land. Then adjust your aim keeping in mind you constantly get closer to the ground. Also, try steeper approaches. You have less time to shoot but the bullets don't drop as much.

TBH, it doesn't look like a digital map to me. Perhaps it's just WIP.

I bet there's a typo somewhere on the code which results in RP calculation uses some fixed values for speed/altitude and not the actual ones.

Just in case it wasn't reported already. AUTO delivery at high speeds seems to be off. Here's a snippet from another thread: Track: https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=244338&d=1596808265

I did some tests myself and now I too believe it's bugged. I think I also was able to find the root of the problem - airspeed at drop. In the mission there are several containers and a Hornet full of Mk82s. 0 wind. 2 Drops, both at 9000 ft: 1st drop at 440 Kts - miss (by a lot) 2nd drop at 300 Kts - direct hit The only two variables in these drops were airspeed and attack direction (but since there was no wind attack direction didn't matter). The track is attached below. Hornet AUTO bomb test.trk

Do you have various winds at different altitude or strong gusts? These are all thing the targeting computer cannot take into account.

I can fly the Ka-50 and the Mi-8 with the English cockpit. As well as the Mig-15 and Mig-21 (even if it's not ED). That's why I said it's been the standard in DCS. On the other hand, If you mean using English cockpit for English manual, then I'm 100% behind you.

It's been the standard for every other Russian module so I don't see why they shouldn't do it here.

Yeah, I hope the AI won't be just a fancy autopilot. Talking AI like Jester would be a major step in the right direction.
