A fine plane it is - also looking forward to the ZA :)

I agree - but in my opinion to a certain degree there are a few corners which needs to be cut as long as the person flying doesn´t have a 1:1 replication of the actual cockpit. Even in such high fidelity simulations like DCS.

I´m sure other things have priority atm but just checking back in - anything new in regards of the template?

Thats not how I feel, thats the way it´s implemented at the moment. And why should I put myself to a disadvantage if surely everyone else - well, obviously not all - are using it the same or a similar way. Binding the trimwheel to keyboard buttons is probably not the best idea as I´m sure you just can´t hit them 100% accurate in the heat of the battle and you´d need to take a glance at the keys. While in the real plane you´d just know where your trimwheel is and just reach back and operate it - the same as it is with HOTAS controls. Well, and the thing which you are criticising .. you know - to turn an axis and wait for the trim to get there - it´s already possible in the P-51 And even if I´d like to bind the trim to an extra set of trimwheels in the 109 I couldn´t do it in any useful way.

lol .. I really don´t see the difference - I already can trim and fly and use my throttle - all at the same time. All people are asking for is a better implementation for an axis. e.g. I´ve mapped the stabilizer to my castle switch because the current axis implemantation is - at least for me - just useless. So I go into a dive and when pulling out or a bit before I simultanously start trimming with the castle switch while I´m pulling the stick back. During all this time I can operate my throttle as needed while I don´t have to get my hand off the trim"wheel"

Hab mir die Start Engine / Relight Funktion auf Home / Pos1 gelegt - damit funktionierts. Hatte ganz am Anfang auch Probleme mit der Standardbelegung - versuch vlt. mal, die genannte Option umzubelegen.

I´d love to see a Zero in DCS with some fitting scenario and oponents.

I think you need at least about ~50% on your RPM level or else it will not work. At least this is the case for me - also the left flap isn´t going to operate if you don´t have enough power.

Here´s my entry: L-39_v01.rar

Just tried out a single center smoke pod and couln´t get it to activate either.

Can anyone here push me in the right direction? So far I´ve done my skins with DCS running in the background and switching back and forth. But I wanna try the model viewer now. I´ve downloaded and installed it. I´m opening the corresponding .edm file from Bazar\World\Shapes - but it seems that I can´t get the model viewer to show me the textures. Wether I mount a directory or a ZIP file doesn´t matter. I´ve also tried to copy the textures / the ZIP into the temp textures folder of the model viewer (textures as .bmp 24bit). Any suggestions for me?

xxJohnxx is doing a tutorial series with navigation being its next part. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2505439&postcount=20

Der Umstieg von den WWII Modulen auf die MiG-15 / F-86 fällt eigentlich nicht wirklich schwer, da diese beiden Flugzeuge auch relativ einfach gehalten sind. Die MiG-21bis mag auf den ersten Blick vlt. ein wenig einschüchternd wirken, aber die Systeme halten sich auch bei der in Grenzen (zumindest meiner Meinung nach - und auch, wenn ich die noch nicht ganz beherrsche). Wenn du ein Flugzeug der Korea-Zeit nehmen solltest, also MiG-15 / F-86, dann hast du da im Prinzip noch einen Dogfighter, der halt technisch weiter ist als die WWII Maschinen. Mit der MiG-21 kommen halt nochmal einige zusätzliche Systeme dazu. Bisher bin ich am meisten mit den WWII und den Koreamaschinen geflogen - besitze aber auch die anderen. Kann nur sagen, es sind alles tolle Flugzeuge. Die MiG-15bis finde ich persönlich auch sehr schön zu fliegen - aber wie gesagt, sind die beiden Maschinen halt noch eher klassische Dogfighter. Wenn dir die F-86 nicht so gut gefällt, dann wär doch vlt. die MiG-21 ne Überlegung wert. Anleitung gibts halt nicht auf Deutsch soviel ich weiß (zumindest noch nicht - weiß nicht, ob noch eine Übersetzung kommen soll) Kannst auch mal hier reinschauen - xxJohnxx hat eigentlich auch ziemlich gute Tutorials zur MiG-21 und zur F-86 - vlt. helfen die ein wenig bei der Entscheidungsfindung. Die A-10 ist wohl der größte Brocken, wenns um Systeme geht - aber wohl auch die Maschine, zu der es am meisten Informationen gibt und das Fliegen an sich hat man auch mit dem Ding bald raus.

You have to duck - there´s a valve under the main center panel. If turned fully to the left they are automated - you can however still adjust them manually. LAlt+A --> open them LCtrl+A --> close them

You´ve probably got better FPS with 1.5 as the performance has increased. And with more FPS different things in games can be much easier than with lower FPS.

Ah, that could explain it - thanks for the information xxJohnxx

Yes, Erich also mentioned it in the video interview.

Just tried it out - could launch a few missiles but had no luck. I found it a bit strange though that I´ve got locks when the enemy plane was at positions where I thought it impossible to get a lock (somewhere near my 3 / 9 o'clock) and I didn´t get locks where I thought I should get one (pretty much on his six). But then I´m a noob when it comes to missiles and stuff (mostly I´ve got experience in WWII and Korea planes when it comes to air combat :D )

Haven´t said otherwise and I certainly haven´t said anything about server settings now have I? Just asked if you already thought it too simple now and gave my personal impression - nothing more, nothing less.

Do you think it´s overly simple now? Personally I don´t have this impression - is it easier in specific situations to spot enemy aircraft now? Yes I think so. But I dont think it´s overyl simple or like having "magical eyes" now where you are able to spot every contact in an instant.

Hehe .. maybe I was subconsciously inspired by the Star Trek movies which I´ve watched recently :D

Yes, same here. Also I think the windscreens are way too dirty now.

Site is working for me - just tried it out.
