Very many thanks jocko417. Good of you to respond amongst all the excitement. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi f410, A quick question for you if you would be so kind. When do you think we might be able to feel the rumble in the Mosquito cockpit with your fantastic SimShaker? Thank you in anticipation. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi jocko417, Glad you are enjoying it. One small question if you would be so kind. Do you have time delay fuse options for bombs? Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman

Which one was on top and which one on the bottom? Happy landings, Talisman

It is a hell of a learning curve RackMonkey and I know sod all about computers. I have spent many hours reading and researching and testing and then tweaking with each update for this and that. All I can say is that I now have what I consider to be a very good VR experience and I am very happy, but I am not qualified to give advice or help as I am no expert and things are constantly changing. I felt I was taking a risk with VR but it worked out for me in the end. I find that there are no easy answers I am afraid. Good luck. Happy landings, Talisman

Here (please see link below) are some real life tracks involving a number of FW 190 incidents that show some of the real life effects I think we are looking for: Incredible WWII Gun Cam Action | Military.com Happy landings, Talisman

Me too. No historic bomb fuse timers then no purchase. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks Neal, yes co-pilot OK but loadout not included for door guns even though door gunner positions available, just like co-pilot. Happy landings, Talisman Thanks Guile, will do. Happy landings, Talisman

Good thread DishDoggie, I can relate to a lot said here. Loving VR and find it difficult to cope with flat screen flying when my group wants to fly a particular flight sim that has not yet made the change to VR. For me, VR has revolutionised flight simulation and I am indeed a VRI pilot. Happy landings, Talisman

DishDoggie, Not sure if you have seen my post above from Jan 22nd, but here it is again. Tree-top level is easily 50/60 feet in Europe. You may wish to read up on this and reconsider your post above. Also, I think by now you will have had time to look at the historical movie posted above by PhoenixFR. Happy landings, Talisman Folks, This is a very informative book: Royal Air Force 1939-1945 Vol III The Fight Is Won by Hilary St.George Saunders: Good (1954) | World of Rare Books (abebooks.co.uk) Published by Her Majesty's Stationary Office in 1954, it gives some great information, including Mosquito timed bomb delay fuses for missions including 10 and 11-second delay and also 30-second delay fused bombs. Page 150 explains how for some targets "preliminary tests with instantaneously fused bombs dropped from a height of 2,000 ft gave no results. It proved necessary , therefore, to descend to tree-top level and throw the bomb into the main building..." Page 151 explains how eight to ten Mosquito aircraft attacked targets "flying in pairs, the first armed with 30-second delay fused bombs, the remainder with 10 second." Therefore, I certainly suggest that we need the ability to adjust our Mosquito bomb delay timed fuses from zero to at least 30-seconds. Happy landings, Talisman P.S. Volumes I and II of the above book are also a very good read.

I think that you will find an option to turn off/on 'auto lean to gunsight' somewhere; I think it might be under the 'special' list. Hope that helps. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks, I will wait to see if 'probably' and 'hope' comes to fruition. I will wait for confirmation of historical time delayed bomb fuses and be happy to pay full price later on to make sure I am not sold short. Happy landings, Talisman

I too am waiting for confirmation of the provision of historical delayed fuses for bombs before placing an order. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Folks, I purchased the Huey last week, but can't find a MP server that allows me to have door gunners as a loadout. The loadout screen just will not provide the door gunners as an option, even though MP servers allow crew positions for human door gunners. Such a shame that my friends and I can't get in the door gunner seat as a human player in MP. Anyone else having trouble getting door gunners as a loadout option in MP? Am I missing something about the loadout screen? On a happier note, the Huey is my very first helicopter and I must say that I am blown away by it Especially as I have a force feedback joystick, a JetPad with SimShaker software and VR. Can anyone recommend a MP server that provides for great Huey flying in a variety of roles and the chance to fly with other Huey pilots? Happy landings, Talisman

Quick question. Will the Mosquito model include force feedback? Hope so for the sake of all FF joystick owners Happy landings, Talisman

Another Korea event great news. Many thanks. See you tonight. Happy landings, Talisman

If no delayed fuse bombs then no purchase from me. Lucky there is competition and I will get delayed fuse bombs with another developer that is interested in meeting customer expectations for historical delayed fuse bombs. For a long time now I have stopped purchasing DCS stuff as, to be honest, I have not felt very valued as a customer because of issues like this, amongst others. I still keep dipping my toe in and reading the forums hoping that things will change though. I like to support flight sim developers but sometimes one has to draw a line somewhere. Wish I did not feel that I have to say this. I understand your scepticism, but I am standing by with optimism and hoping I won't have wasted my high hopes, again. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks for the feedback Crash Master. I don't have those aircraft. I have Spitfire, Mustang and Mig-15, but no instant missions for those with the new map Happy landings, Talisman

Good numbers and good fun last night, although things kicked off a bit later than I posted, so sorry I got the timing a bit early. Happy landings, Talisman

So I take it from your reply that you have no instant missions either and it is supposed to be like that for now? Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Folks, I think there will be good numbers on the server tonight as there is a bit of a gathering planned. So might be a good idea to join the party. 1st July from about 18.00 hours BST onwards. Happy landings, Talisman

I have the map but can't fly it. The map is listed but no aircraft are listed to fly with instant action flights, for example, take off, landing, free flight, dog fight, etc. I would like to fly this map but how? I don't do mission builder stuff (don't know how and never had the need), so please don't tell me I can only fly this map via the mission builder, because I don't use the mission builder. Any guidance would be gratefully received because so far this is very disappointing. Happy landings, Talisman

This combat report (see below) from 7th March 1944 shows 150 rounds per cannon with 76 rounds S.A.P.I. and 74 rounds H.E.I. per gun for the Spitfire XIV. This armament information is near the bottom of the report just above the signatures. http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/610_Harding_7march44.pdf This supports what is said in the book you have referenced DD_Fenrir. Many thanks for your post. I hope we can get SAPI and HEI loaded in 50/50 quantities as soon as possible for RAF Aircraft loadouts in DCS. Specifically this should be the case for the Spitfire and the upcoming Mosquito. I hope the developers have this information. Happy landings, Talisman

This could be great! Happy landings, Talisman

As a VR user this update is disappointing in the visuals department to say the least. I shan't say any more because its just too disheartening and others have already said it anyway. Back once again to flying other flight sim titles for me and I shan't be purchasing any new aircraft for DCS for the time being. Happy landings, Talisman
