OVGME (http://www.ovoid.org/ovgme/) is far easier to use in my opinion, And built by one of the DCS forum users.

Except the propeller control actually controls the engine RPM at witch the propeller governor adjusts blade pitch to maintain.

I'm getting a mental picture of laying in a hospital bed and my legs going up and down intermittently :megalol:

Happy birthday! Get some rest!

Great idea!

I stand (sit?) corrected, but the FM takes the longest so you might as well do a full aircraft IMHO (and M3's as well).

Also my thoughts exactly. We love Hi-Fi FM's!

Various devs have said many times that the flight model is intertwined with the 3d cockpit and engine systems (3d models being the fastest/easiest?). I admit you know far, far more about software development than me, but what M3 says and what devs have been saying for a long time just seems to match up.

Considering the bashing they got during the time of crickets i think they are entitled to mess with us a bit.

I greatly respect you and your posts, but may i ask how you know that it what they are doing does not require a fully functioning test-bed?

Looks like from their comments on the facebook announcement that it is real! (Also, they say it's a step towards the corsair in development) https://www.facebook.com/leatherneck.simulations/

Yeah i still think its strange to hype it like they did if its not a joke, although i am pro-CEII

:megalol:

I wonder if the helicopter noise at the beginning of the video means anything?

Yeah, there is still a part of me that thinks its an elaborate ruse. In the video the cockpit looks kinda low res, the FM seeming strange, no announcement on the forums, their emblem, ect.

I believe in the DCS mission statement posted by wags (Which i cant seem to find right now) specifically mentions civil aircraft.

Not mine either, but it seems they are doing some sort of groundbreaking changes to the prop system and needed to have a test-bed for it. Maybe a small agile aerobatic plane met all the criteria and they thought "heck, why not make it public, we have to develop it anyway!"

Would you like some cheese with your whine?

I don't see why there's so much anger, think of the revenue generated by civ people coming to DCS. For me DCS is first and foremost about flying, i have come to love its attention to detail so much that i can't fly any other sim, it just doesn't feel right. Is it a combat simulator? Heck yeah! but that shouldn't get in the way of non combat aircraft getting a FM that is second to none.

They say its a test bed for better WWII prop tech: http://leatherneck-sim.com/support/christen-eagle-ii-faq/

If you like your developer, you can keep your developer. ;)

"Surprises"I agree that there is most likely another module...

HAHA! prop guys win this time!

:megalol: They probably were planning to announce it today, but were having so much fun psychologically manipulating us that they decided to wait till sunday.

While it would seem strange to hype up an aerobatic biplane, I think it would be great fun and challenging. P.S. Not paid either, we should start a club! :megalol:
