Crumpp

After you fly and experience the behaviors, there will be an option to save the track. Then just look at the properties of the file in your video tab to find the folder. I gotta hunt for it every time I do it! Nobody is saying you are not experiencing an issue. Just understand that others are not experiencing the same thing. :thumbup:

What the some players want out of him is literally impossible. Not only is he charged with being a forensic investigator, resurrecting FM's, and behaviors out of sketchy information from the beginnings of our technical understanding, but he is doing it with so much less computing power than many single aircraft simulators have available. In spite of the obstacles, he is doing very well and delivering a plausible product. The cockpit immersion is fantastic, the stability and control modeling much better than anything in the past, and the aircraft perform well. Yo-Yo's work provides the suspension of belief required to attract many RL pilots. For what we pay on a home computer....that is a bargain. Here one of the sims at work to give the players an idea. Here is the computer room. It houses three mainframes that provide the computing power for the one aircraft simulator. The amount of computing power dedicated to just one aircraft and it is STILL NOT RIGHT is staggering. :smilewink: For example, If you make a greaser or even try to do it in the sim, the training department will not be happy. The simulator lands nothing like the actual aircraft and they do not want you building bad muscle memory that could potentially damage the actual aircraft. You just plant the sim, do not red screen it and everyone is happy. :P All that computer power still cannot replicate many of the flight behaviors of the actual aircraft. :huh:

Let's stay away from Aces High articles as "proof" for historical fact too, btw.

Which is why you cannot take what the RAF does as what the USAAF does...... Nor can one take the unusual circumstances of the early war as the norm, probably even for the RAF. Most likely, a stop gap measure was replaced with good engineering data as soon as it could be worked out and new bore sight targets produced for the squadrons.

I have not noticed any difference.

Is your controller spiking Hummingbird?

I agree Ala13_ManOWar.

It is noted in the Flugzueg-handbuch what the standard trim speed is set too. Usually it is Sparleistung.

:megalol: Well, spotting is certainly easier!

I think you are right. :thumbup:

Wow.....:doh: First of all, to get in the seat of a large transport category aircraft, you have to have no small measure of experience. Especially if you work for a US based carrier, which require up to 6 times the flying experience of many other nations. What BSS_Sniper said: Is absolutely correct and is the general principle taught to every tail wheel pilot. Even in short field take off's, with brakes set, you run the power up in a controlled manner. Not all taildraggers have effective rudders at taxi speed with an increase in power. http://www.stick-rudder.com/PDF-Files/The-Taildragger.pdf The FW-190 is both powerful and equipped with an effective rudder. That is why Eric used the technique he did which IS a departure from normal technique used for a World War II fighter.

Sitting on the ground looking up is not spotting traffic in an aircraft.

In a 90 degree upright seat: G = 98.4mmHG*(13.6/385mm) = 3.47G Loss of Light threshold is only 3.47G's. In other-words, sustaining those 3G's take a toll on the body and is accounted for in Dr Burton research. Nope..it is not me. http://ftp.rta.nato.int/public//PubFullText/AGARD/AG/AGARD-AG-322///AGARD-AG-322.pdf A detailed pilot physiology model such as presented by Dr Burton, U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) is very relevant to World War II ACM.

FWIW The server I was on was extremely laggy to the point another aircraft warped on the runway as I took off causing a collision. When I changed my MP name from player to Crumpp...the warping went away.

I agree the argument needs to be separated. Some pilots need to get with some smart computer guys and figure it out, LOL!! :thumbup: It was not my intention to derail Gavagai's thread. I honestly did not realize this was much of an issue, not because it was "easy" for me to spot but rather because the difficulty mirrored reality on my machine.

Of course. Watching airplanes on the ground and knowing exactly to where to look is not anything like trying to spot them in air.

Life is better with a long stick.

I tried that... did not work for me. :(

While it may or may not have been unrealistic in as far as the detail a human eye can perceive vs a pixel image on a computer.... The experience was very realistic in simulating spotting other aircraft in flight. You should have been on-board when the TCAS went off 2 weeks ago while we are looking for the ATC traffic alert because a cessna driver was at VFR altitude 500 Feet above on the arrival into Minneapolis. I would have LOVED to have some large pixels and an easy spotting feature! That is neither here nor there. I have not been able to get another aircraft online and use it. I did not mean to disparage this feature without trying it. I will try it and might even like it. I just was surprised there was even an issue. :(

BTW.. AirCombat USA looks like a lot of fun!

I disagree, most of the late war birds can maintain 3G or more. Have you worked the math? It is not me that alludes to anything. It is Burton and other medical doctors doing research to improve their countries Air Forces. Read the research. The body gets just as exhausted pulling 3.5G's as it does 7G's. In fact, it takes longer to recover from the low G profiles than the high G ones. BTW, Oskar Bösch would very much disagree with you. He once told me less than 5 minutes of hard ACM exhausted most guys. The science supports his experience. http://www.luftwaffe.cz/bosch.html

It stopped working. So far no issues with the engine overheating but the gauge is not functioning. Is it me, the gauge, or MW50 is not working?

My MW-50 gauge is not working in 1.5. Anybody else having the same issue?

No just one... I am an Airline Pilot and have some experience spotting traffic.

I will check it out, I have not experienced the new spotting. The spotting in DCS 1.0 very much reminded me of spotting traffic at work.
