I don’t think any other WW2 aircraft unleashes such a concentrated stream of hurt as the Mossie - and the combined devastation of quad 303s and quad Hispanos is well represented Not sure if I’m pulling at the controls or whether the modelling joggles the nose, but for A2G and A2A fire, opening up pulls the aim off - generally up and left Anyone found similar???

Just need the aircraft to go with this classic next…. Need 2 more Merlins

Has to be the best Mustang paint job ever

@NineLine thanks for the check / confirm - must be enjoying flying the Mossie more than I had clocked

Perfect just cannot believe how much this mod has lifted the DCS WW2 experience

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but my hours logged on the Mossie seem to be unjustifiably high… 23hrs may not seem much, but I was away when she was first launched and have been fitting some flying in around work and domestic commitments I’d be prepared to believe 10-12 hrs on type - is the log double counting???

interesting… \ Fx (Nav) F2-steer course 123(numpad entry) F2 to commit

Sorry, this is just silly… I know that there is a cohort here who is fervently opposed to autopilot or “dumb down assists” - but that’s not what’s requested. If you’re a SP user taking another flight crew position, then it would be entirely realistic for the AI Pilot to fly the aircraft. If DCS ever decided to make a multi-seat B-17, would you expect to have to, or be able to, fly the aircraft from the gunner’s position???

Hardware first, I guess… I have FFB for racing on the PS, and find the immersion to be very intuitive - much better for “feeling” the wheel grip under hard braking / cornering. For DCS I fly with a TM Cougar HOTAS set up, choice was very clear between stick functionality and FFB

Also search Gooseneck Flares… Reality was, blackout or no blackout, pilots needed the reference marks on the runway…! Seems like the Airfield Identification Beacons also flashed out a two letter red / white ID code whilst Ops were on

BOAC Mossie FB. VIs to Sweden… Yes, this one at least…

25 out of the 60 subs sunk by the US - certainly a good tally… … but not very representative when you realise that the German Kriegsmarine lost 765 U-boats From u-boat.net

Sorry what…!? that’s a bold claim…!

More illumination…

Well, it’s obviously true that the blackout was essential… … but so was getting large numbers of bombers into the air and back down again! BTW, my interest and background info come from childhood discussions with a Bomber Command aircrew. Even with the benefit radio navaids, it’s still necessary to eyeball the runway. FIDO was the “Big Daddy” to burn off fog, but the RAF also used Chance Lights to floodlight runways and Sandra Lights to beam a light cone over airfields…. IIRC Geoffrey Wellum describes his collision with a Chance Light in his wartime memoir “First Light”. Description & Photo of Sandra and flare path lights FIDO Sandra light cone and flarepath - (possibly also a Chance Light runway floodlight judging by the light flare beyond the Lanc’s port undercarriage???)

Nice music… … not quite 633 but a good stand in

Really excited for this landing tomorrow Work and travel commitments mean it will probably be next week before starting her up…

Depends what your priorities are… Personally I found the Anton to be the easiest to get going on - taxi, take off, circuits, landing, basic A2A and A2G gunnery. A good Jabo, but very difficult to get results against AI fighter opposition Dora is quite similar but better for A2A.

Doesn’t read with the professionalism that would be expected from a commercial platform… Is that from Steam or from the Steam forums…?!

I like the A8 as a Jabo… (but yes, as a fighter it seems severely handicapped in the DCS arena) I’d still like the teased (promised…?) F8 version… This account suggests that even in its F8 Jabo form, the 190 was a dangerous opponent - something that doesn’t really show in DCS: F8 vs Beaufighter & Mustang escorts

I doubt the rev fluctuations are real??? I’ve seen RL boat and tractor tachos flick around like that - I’d suspect either the tacho or if genuinely engine speed then still on warm up??

Doesn’t sit well with most assessments of the raid…?

Pretty much what all Mossie aircrew said… from what I’ve read /been told

At least one 3rd party was looking at making a campaign (IIRC). Reflected posted on this sub earlier in the summer ETA - not sure I’ve seen anything re ED’s plans… although the videos, screenshots, aircraft IDs and ground assets all point towards the Amiens prison raid

15th is also the first Wed (open beta day) after close of the Channel / Mossie bundle offer
