Dirty Rotten Flieger

Hi I just bought the Fw190 on steam. Payment went through and there is a licence number I can view through steam DCS DLC page but when I start the game I there no FW190. Only the option to "buy" it

Now that I think about it the sabre flaps are located on the inboard section of the swept wings so they are quite far forward in relation to the centre of pressure of the wings. The inner most section the flaps may even be in front of the centre of pressure. If the centre of gravity is close to the centre of pressure, and some portion of the flaps is location in front of both, it would make sense for the pitch up with flaps down. I think...

We need human opponents . There is no way around it. To do it right we need a flyable Mig15bis. The AI doesn't know its planes strengths vs your planes weaknesses. I have played many missions now and the AI always dives down to the deck and trys to turn fight me. As long as I keep my speed above .7 mach I win every time till i run out of ammo. We really need a human opponent to see what the mig can really do.

I had a great fight just now. I zoom climbed up to 45 kft and then dived on 4 Migs that were flying at 30 kft. As I was just about to pull onto one Migs six I went super sonic and lost control of my plane. Man I was so excited to try and get a super sonic kill in the sabre my heart was pounding, but I just couldn't hang onto it. I really hope DCS brings out a Mig15bis . Multiplayer F-86f Sabre vs Mig15bis would be just about he ultimate air combat sim.

I've been playing for hours and hours and the Sabre is definitely my favourite DCS plane ! Are you guys fighting up high? My AI enemy keep diving to the deck and trying to turn fight me. The sabre seems to beat the mig15 pretty easy on the deck. I have read about he Mig15 climbing away and the Sabre being unable to follow him up to 45 or 50kft but in all my fights the AI dives to the deck and trys to tuen fight me.. Anyway on the deck you can win every time pretty easy ... Just don't let your speed drop below .7 mach. A gentle turn at that speed will get round on him slowly and when he breaks off and trys to climb away you got the E to catch him in the climb shoot him down. Once you know how, its a bit too easy to be honest... The Mig15 sure is a beautiful target, zooming in front of his vapour trail with the swept wings and high tail... Just needs some glinting in the sun.

Well I'm glad the MIG15bis can out climb the F-86F. When I saw they were making the "F"Sabre version I was worried the sabre would be able to out climb, out dive, out turn and out run the MIG. I love the idea of two planes equally matched with one better in the vertical and the other better in the horizontal. Makes for a good close and the best pilot can win. I'm in Australia and we write dates day/month/year. So I got up this morning excited to buy the steam version available on the 8.9.14. and I've been wondering all day why it isn't unlocking yet... I just realised 8.9.14 means 9.8.14. DAM gotta wait till tomorrow. Oh the humanity!

When I log on to steam I can see at a glance if any of my friends who have DCS games are playing them and join their multiplayer game by double clicking their name. It's very easy to get multiplayer games using steam
