Theres a lot of trainers in DCS, but not a WW2 one. A Harvard (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_T-6_Texan) would be nice to have! What do you guys think? :)
Am I missing something? With DCS Spit I have to fly with 1 notch nose up trim. With A2A and CloD Spits I am flying 1 notch nose down trim. I heard that Spitfire is a tail heavy plane.
A must watch for Spitfire lovers. Second half of the video shows take off and landing and uses a WWII pilot's journal description of his impressions of the spit and his detailed notes on start up, taxi and take off procedures.
Is there any way to make the saiteks trim wheel to work in DCS? It would be cool to use it to trim my Spitfire. :) I can see the wheel in the controller list, but can't assign it...
I think I can handle this aircraft now. I can take off and land without problems. Yey!:D The next step is to learn to dogfight. I love this plane! Thank you!
Terve terve! :)
Yes I have CH rudder pedals. I hardly ever spawn on the runway. I think cold starts are more fun. I think one of my problems is that my tail wheel is not straight or something...
I also did take offs few hours today, and I didn't succeed once. I find taking off impossible for me. Landings are fine..
Edit. Don't get me wrong; I love the plane, but these take off problems are driving me crazy..
The hard part of landing is that I can not see the runway because spit has a very long nose. I can land 99 times of 100 just fine but my take offs succeed only 1/10. That sucks..
DCS is a combat simulator... well not for me. :) I do not do combat. I just fly around and enjoy. I suck at dogfighting. Even average AI shots me down every time.
Look at this video:
There is a finnish GA-pilot flying a mustang, and with no experience, lands a 2-pointer. That would NEVER be possible with DCS P-51D!
