Not really. I did have my engine cut out once, but I had forgotten to open my cowl flaps and the cylinders overheated. I didn't notice the needle pegged to the right, deep in the red.

Yes, the constant rudder trim is a pain in the butt, until you assign rudder trim to a button on your hotas . Then it’s not too bad constantly trimming the rudder. I noticed that trimming the rudder to dead center alleviates the aileron trimming as well. If I’m rolling to the right, I’ll check my rudder is centered first. Once rudder is trimmed, then I’ll move to aileron trimming.

Hello, I'm reading there are Japanese ground assets that came with the F4U package; if true, where are they? I'm not even seeing Japan listed as a country. Thanks and good day! EDIT: Just found them. There is a "combat" button next to the country field. Press the combat button so it says "all", and there will be Japanese assets.

I seem to get mine to bounce, unfortunately! I just bounced off the flight deck of the Essex! This morning, I landed so hard at Groom Lake it flipped !

Interesting, there seems to be a lot of detail behind those panels that we never see from the pit. Wonder if everything is modeled, like the fuel tanks, fuel lines linkages, full motor, etc?

Yea, taxiing is a mess. Toe braking is the only way I can get down the taxiway. The rudder steering seems very unpredictable; it kinda works, then doesn’t.

Just watch your instruments; the alt, artificial horizon and attitude indicator, which tell you if you are ascending or descending. Plus don’t fly noe over the ocean, esp at night.

That’s indicated air speed (IAS), not kts or mph. 250 IAS is more like 310mph.

Damn!! That looks so nice! Great job @ac5! Can’t wait to load that instead of my beat to hell jalopy of a cockpit! The one we have looks like it’s 10 years old, when in fact it’s probably a few months old.

I notice my toe brakes do not work properly or at all, not until I hit esc, go to keybinds and immediately exit keybinds back into the sim. Then they work as expected. Also had issues with tail wheel during taxi until I set rudder pedals to slider. Now they work as expected as well.

@felixx75 Thanks buddy, this is great! Is auto mix the full forward position, and auto lean middle posit? How about the blower handle, which is low and which is neutral? Hard to read the labels with the wear and tear . Thanks again!

Hi guys, When do I move the supercharger handle (in between the throttle and mixture lever) from full forward to middle position? I notice that sometimes, when put into mid position, the RPMs increase, and then decrease when pushed forward - this is not always the case, it seems. Other times, that lever seems to not have the same effect. Same question for mixture lever; is it always forward? Do I use the middle position for cruising at altitude or something? One more question; prop angle. The lever is down for most flight, for the blades most bite - should I move the lever up when at higher altitudes for cruising and gas savings? Never really messed with warbirds, my go to is the F-16. So not sure when/what situations these settings should be adjusted. Thanks and good day, DrDetroit

Yes, I love this module too. I'm a F-16C guy (fast movers in general), but I just had to get this one as my first prop plane, as it's the most beautiful of the era and beyond. Got to give kudos to M3, thanks guys! Of course, things to fix, things to add, lots to do, but we got us a Corsair now! Good day!, DrDetroit

I can't get this thing to turn at all unless I give it a <profanity> ton of throttle, then it's uncontrollable and I can't steer at all. Man, what a pain! No problem with any other module. Thrustmaster Warthog, Saitek combat pro pedals, working great. Not sure what gives, but this is frustrating. EDIT: seems using differential braking is the only way to turn while taxiing.

Yea, the scary part is I've been flying DCS since the 2008 release lol! I'm still working on my competency with this baby. Even got the TM Warthog HOTAS, and Saitek Pro rudder pedals many moons ago; but yea, been a long time since last flight though. Anyhow, I was sooo hoping they had evolved the ATC and comms by now, was a bit disappointed to find that nothing has changed in this regard but, hey, this ain't F4 BMS after all. But I'm loving the multi thread - sooo smoooth with high FPS, and this is a very pretty sim as well, so there is that!

Yup, finally figured that out after redoing the training for carrier takeoffs - apologies good sir! But I do appreciate your assistance! EDIT: BTW, dig your handle; ode to Max Verstrappen and the legend Ayrton Senna! Good day! DrDetroit

Comms-1 and Comms-2 are bound to TM Warthog throttle comms switch. No issues other than SC - but may be my mistake; I think I need to contact ground first before taxing to the cat. Going to try again shortly. EDIT: No, I guess that's not the issue. There is no option to request taxi unless I'm training carrier takeoffs. Odd. EDIT EDIT: I just did the training again, and seems there is no need to request taxi when on flight deck. Thought that was a thing, guess not.

Hello all, I setup a mission, taking off from the Stennis, but when I use comms (using advanced comms - easy comms off), I select ATC, then Stennis, but there is nothing in the next menu, only option to return to previous menu. I just updated to latest this morning, worked fine prior to the update. Anybody else having this issue and/or knows how to resolve it? Thanks and good day, DrDetroit

Seems this company took a dump! Good day! DrDetroit

Sorry for the rudeness, but that guy deserved it and started it in the first place!, I simply replied to his comment. I think a warning is a bit much, my first in 10years here, but ok. AnyhowI will actually buy that Supercarrier this weekend, when x-mas break starts here at Boeing. Sounds like what I’m after as far as ATC goes. Last but not least; not upset with ED, was just pointing out a few fundamental issues, no disrespect meant! DCS is a very awesome piece of work, I just hoping for a few things to happen. good day! DrDetroit

Yea, remember that flight sim scam 15-20years ago called Hangar-18, some crap like that. Screens kinda looked amazing for it’s day, and people paid for access to Hangar-18 for full updates and first look; well there never was a first look, they took whatever monies they pulled from folks and quickly left the building lol. Yes, we are lucky that ED is full on, high fidelity flight simming, and looks great too. They need to get the ATC and ATO working though- I mean F4/BMS has had a full working ATC and ATO for damn near 25years. I use to get put in line as like number 10-12 in takeoff orders at times the airport was so busy. Then inbound would usually get an orbit position instead of clear-to-land for the same reason; and once it’s your turn ATC contacts you with CTL vectors. Plus, if you dial into the airport freq, you can hear ATC talking to all the a/c it’s handling…quite impressive and amazing!! It’s a real working airport and ATC! Come on ED, let’s get ‘er done already! Such a fine sim w broken ATC, pathetic wingman commands and zero ATO. EDIT: of course you can’t have ATO w/out a dynamic campaign but for the love of all that’s holy, fix the ATC and wing commands…simple things like ‘declare fuel’, ‘status’, drop tanks, ‘contacts’, etc. Still, love DCS! Keep it up Ed!! Good day! DrDetroit

Alt hold works, so does Att hold, which is on the pitch switch, which also activates the AP. He has to set roll switch as well, which I’d bet a dollar to a donut that he is default setting which is heading, not steer point (roll switch full down for steer point, not centered). Again, F16 AP is fully functional and no issues. Def pilot error. I can fly all waypoints hands off, if necessary.

The AP works just fine, I use it daily You probably have it set to course/heading and not altitude/attitude. I have absolutely no issues with it. EDIT: you also have to set desired roll setting, not just pitch setting.

Ah, ok. I'm running MT, will try the beta. Thanks for the quick response! Good day! DrDetroit

Hello there, I just purchased your DLC, it looks like a lot of fun, but I can't get it to install, I get an error "Unknown Module - Ground Pounder Sims F-16 First In Weasles Over Syria campaign". Any idea what that issue is? Below is the log. Thanks!
