Perhaps you have just finally got over the steep learning curve. No matter how hard to handle I have first found different aircraft, in various simulators, I always get to the point were I can manage them almost without concern because I have skilled-up on them. However, as soon as I fly with a rookie to teach them 'the ropes' I am reminded how far I have come and how much I take it for granted. Also, the small improvements that I seem to continuously make to my rig set-up and associated peripherals tend to incrementally improve my performance over time. If anything, because I had not flown the Mustang for a while whilst waiting for the 1.5 public release, I have found it harder to fly in combat against AI and human pilots. I never found much difficulty in handling the P51 on the ground or for take off and landing from day one. I suspect this was because when I first started in DCS, with the Mustang, I had learnt a lot flying the BoS Lagg 3 and FW; try to taxi and land them (on an icy runway) and you will soon find out why everything else is easy, LOL.

I think perhaps AI pilot behavior has been improved, so may not be all down to aircraft changes when fighting AI. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks Andre, I have a FF joystick, but I don't want to disconnect that. I have given up trying to get working for CloD for now, but if anyone stumbles on a solution I will have another go some time; no drama, but it would be the icing on the cake to use for both of my flight sims. Might also expand the customer base for the jetseat. Happy landings, Talisman

This is one of the reasons I have stopped playing MP, and thus DCS, and purchasing any more modules than the one warbird I have, pending public release of V2. If MP is not viable for us WWII types with the visual air-to-air capability and the historical environment then I am out of here I am sad to say; living in hope though. I want so much to be an enthusiastic customer, but, oh well... Happy landings, Talisman

If anyone is able to get the jetseat to work with CloD I would very much appreciate it if they could let me know how, because I have drawn a blank :(( Thanks. Talisman

No amount of training is going to make anyone able to see what is not displayed on the screen.

The visibility, environment and campaign building issues are key, as I believe that if DCS crack this the WWII side of the house has the potential to expand the customer base, pilot population and the on-line MP experience for the better. However, at the moment I am starting to lose a bit of hope from the WWII perspective; perhaps it's the early New Year blues :(( Happy landings, Talisman

Strongly agree! I am here recently attracted to DCS for WWII, not modern fast jets at all, so I thought I was going to have a great time in MP when 1.5 was released. However, it has been so disappointing with the model visibility and other problems (like no bomb delay availability for the P51 and lots of other issues too many to go on about) that I have stopped flying DCS again pending the next public release version. Moreover, I am now starting to think that even with the Normandy map I am going to have to lower my expectations, or even give up on DCS. I was so excited about the prospect of WWII with DCS that I invested in a gametrix jetseat (great bit of kit by the way), but I hardly use it since DSC WWII is in the slow lane as far as I can see :(( I can't help feeling pessimistic at the moment and, on a bad day, am wondering if I will even bother purchasing the Spitfire if I can't get a decent on-line MP experience.

Andre, Will this work for Cliffs of Dover (CloD) WWII combat flight sim? Originally by Oleg Maddox, IC Games, but now Team Fusion. I fly CloD a lot because DCS is not up to speed with WWII yet, so if this works for CloD that would be great and might give you more customers. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi WarriorMP, Check this out: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=157677 Happy New Year, Talisman

Is there an enforced setting for Model Enlargement on this server and if so, what is it? Thanks, Talisman

Hi MB2_Svejk, I notice that your sound module gain levels are all set to 100%. I have left mine at the default 50%. What difference does it make with the higher 100% setting? I have been thinking about changing mine to 100% but am not sure about it. Happy New Year, Talisman

Andre, Don't know what you did for the latest update for the jetseat, but it is working better than ever now. The 2 motors to the rear of the seat cushion, directly under my backside, are now working better than ever :) These 2 motors were very weak compared to the others before your last update. Happy New Year, Talisman

Thank you very much for getting back to me with this information :)) Happy landings, Talisman

Copy that. I just wish we could have more information on how DCS is going to pull things together to make WWII simulation in DCS viable for the WWII enthusiasts who would like to fly the aircraft in the way they were intended to be used and actually were used in the historical context. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks for replying gents. So, is this omission intentional, historical or a mistake or what? I find it hard to believe that the P51D bombs could not be set for delay! Is this another indication of how far the WWII project has to go! Happy landings, Talisman

Is there a way to get rid of that immersion destroying, annoying and distracting white chat envelope on the left of the screen in MP, but still be able to call up chat if wanted simply by pressing the key for chat? At the moment I have to keep pressing tab to get the envelope to clear, but then the blinking thing keeps popping up again every time there is a new message; would not be so bad if it wasn't in such a darn silly place half way down the left of the screen. Bottom left or right would be better. Also, is there a way to display the lines of chat by moving them to the low left or right of the screen, rather than in the darn silly place it is by default, half way down the left of the screen, just were I need to keep a lookout? Happy landings, Talisman

Is anyone able to get the P51D bomb delay setting to work? I set the in-cockpit switch from right (Inst) to left (delay), but the bombs still go off instantly. Happy landings, Talisman

Sorry, I should have said that the aircraft I am using is the Mustang P51D. Is anyone able to get the delay fuse to work for the P51D? Oh, of course, this is the Dora thread, doh! I will post in the proper place. Talisman

I cant get the bomb delay to work in V 1.5 :( so I suppose we have to wait for V 2.0? Happy landings, Talisman

Carried out a DCS repair and then my P51D was suddenly delivered :) Happy landings, Talisman

Top tip :thumbup: I had the same issue in that I could not get the P51D I owned, but after running repair to DCS the module installed ok. Thanks for the info. Happy landings, Talisman

Ok, fixed problem. When I selected DCS full uninstall, it actually left a DCS folder in program files. When I deleted this folder the fresh installation worked ok, so must have been something in the old program files folder that caused a conflict. Shame the uninstaller did not fully uninstall DCS and all associated folders. Now have a new problem, lol. The module manager lets me download the Mig 15 that I own, but not the P51D for some frustrating reason :mad: Thanks for your positive replies folks. Happy landings, Talisman

Tried a complete uninstall then clean installation of 1.5, but still will not launch.

Not just me then. Mine fails to launch too. I use Windows 10, what about you?
