I'll be flying that thing a LOT

I know it's a poll thread about convergence, but one of the options is "Don't care", and since I don't really, I'll say why... I'd RATHER see... The higher octane and MPs Lighter bird (no IFF) M8 ammo (and a believable DM for the Krauts) These things are much more important than convergence.

Sounds like the D is having pains like the Stang's governor has had for years.

Yeah, and we wait and wait for what the Stang needs, and every Kraut fights to deny her.

LOL!. THIS. We have been dealing with magic bullets that find the governor more than any other bit for years. POP POP VaROOOOOOOOM! Aaaaaaaaand, we're bailing out yet again. The Dora shouldn't have to deal with this, no one should, but it is kinda funny. The Stang gets no love.....

Very nice, Phil.

Two weeks - for the news

Four of them, on strafing approach..... :music_whistling:

Philstyle and his gang say that a steep dive from above, say about 60 degrees IIRC, will do the trick. If you stay on a level course for more than a second close to 300 meters they will acquire you and hammer you. The closer you are to level flight, the sooner you will die. Keep altering your approach. This makes it harder to hit them, but harder for them to hit you, too. The only advantage they have is more guns. You have the bigger target. And until the DM gets its tweak, they are plenty easy to break up right now.

I think ED said that the DM had to come out after the Normandy map for some reason, and that all planes would receive the rework at once. So, it appears they have a lot to chew on. I'm hoping the promised lighter P-51, with better fuel, is included in this.

DMs for the Fort will likely come along with the promised DMs for the 190 and 109, to get all of them up to P-51 standards. This is my understanding of the situation,and since this is Alpha (some say pre-Alpha) I am content to play what they let us have ahead of time and see it progress. I'm not to thrilled about Forts losing wings so easily, but I am thrilled to SEE them up there, and now firing back!

Spit will take more practice to get landings right, and to steer on the ground. You'll not have the speed you like to catch a Kraut diving away (and away and away to rise and come back at you) But, if you wind up low with no friends, the Spit gives you a better chance.

Well, last night I was on with 11 pilots. Earlier this week, 24....

I'd love to name mine "Hun Hunter", but I see there was a historical name of that type. "Hungry Hound" is my next bet, which is a play on my dad's squadron "Puking Pups."

Damn it all to hell, but that video made my blood boil.

....and I'll never fly Commie Red

Now I might have a reason to concentrate on the Sabre.. :)

Variation on the Mustang theme. Nice.

Dude, that post was from 2014.

I ran the 750Ti for a while. It works passably, but I had access to a 780. That would runs okay except when the 780 driver issue reared its head.... crash to black. Just grabbed a GTX 1060 FTW, and I'm pulling over 70 fps at times. IT can drop horribly low at Novo, but that seems to be a known issue. It's under $300, and has 6GB. I'm happy with it.

WIP Looks great! I will probably pick this one up. A good old bird, the "fleet defender."

I may put effort into learning my Huey... the rotor heads are right, this map would be cool low and slow. Might even exit a bird and walk around a bit. For me, I'll certainly play in the Stang and Spit, Stang mostly. My real dream is the Thunderbolt. I have a feeling that once this matures a bit, I'll drive the Bolt and the XIV.

A few months ago, I copied my installation from my HDD to me SSD, and started running it from there. Weird things were happening, so I deinstalled it, and reinstalled. I never did delete the original installation. Now, that I have reinstalled DCS, and I'm having trouble getting things activated. All but one module has failed. Here is an example. F-86F module is enabled, I have "No Key" where the serial number should be, but DRM License management displays the correct key when I click on it. It says "Activation is required. Enter your Serial Number and click "Next". But the number is already in the box. Clicking "Next" gives me "Activation with the Serial Number has already been performed and the license is still active. Run without re-activation?" If I click "Yes", I still get no key. If I click "Activate", is says "Activation is successfully completed. License parameters: Activations left: 9" I've tried activating it 3 times. The count isn't lowering, and I still have no key. How is this done? I tried deactivating it and reactivating.... The weird thing is that I can still use them in MP, without a key showing.

Hi, My installation is two years old. I recently moved it to an SSD. I want to deinstall and do a fresh job install on the SSD. Will I have garbage left behind on the original HD that will slow things down? After the deinstall, the profiles and settings are stored where? Are any files /folders left behind in the original location, and can I delete them? Lastly, what is the difference between 1.5 and 1.5 open beta? Will all servers show up in either installation? What advantages do each have?
