  1. Try to trim it the best you can. Smooth inputs on rudder and roll axis is fine for me (my problem is the touchdown, always a bit rough for me, but practice is the key)
  2. For armored vehicles like MBT's, aim to the rear of the vehicle. And you must have a good pitch angle to have a maximum penetration efficiency.
  3. Go to your DCS folder, on the ''bin'' file, Left Shift + Right mouse click and choose ''open command window here''. In the command window you shall see : ''C:\PROGRAM FILES\EAGLE DYNAMICS\DCS WORLD\BIN>'' Right after the ''Bin>'', type this : DCS_Updater.exe update And press Enter. DCS will update to its latest version.
  4. Night in DCS is really bad i think. We can see the ground to easily and those stripes are really annoying to me. Hope they can fix it by a way or an other.
  5. No problem, see ya on the battlefield
  6. You must ''crank'' the throttle, like the A-10C. Try ''Right Alt + home''
  7. you don't need to be a military to have a passion for aviation (even military aviation). Some of us have a family situation and want to keep it stable, some of us (like me) have tried to be fighter pilots but failled, so trying something else, still in aviation sector etc.. I work for a public company which takes care of military equipment, i'm not military, but i work on Mirage 2000 for the french air force. Reasons are multiple, and personnal to each of us I think.
  8. Same here. Sugest from some Kurfurst Aces are always welcome :)
  9. keep in cold start except for some situation (scramble or something like that). It's a real procédure, so keep it like this in my opinion :)
  10. Very interresting read, all of this
  11. My book is in french, and maybe not the best documentation sources. ''Les Chasseurs Allemands tome 1 : Le Messerschmitt Bf-109.'' Written by Dominique BREFFORT and with André JOUINEAU's profiles. Yes i understand what you're saying Kurfürst, but it's wierd for a book to say in technical characteristics of a 109 ''150 rounds'' for a MG-151/20. Sources are so confusing !
  12. Yes, i understand this. If i'm not clear please tell me, i'm not english and i don't use translator. I see those contradictions between some sources, it's particulary the case with german late war fighter. And i'm not in an hostile perspective, i'm always open to somebody else opinion/sources.
  13. WOW ! hey guy ! I never wanted to be rude and i never been ! Just wow this reaction is just incredible ! You understand my word like if they were aggressive but it's absolutely not the case ! I don't know what to answer to you. Let's clarify the situation, you came with an answer, and a good answer to me, i havn't notify it in my previous post so : Thank you for your answer. BUT in your answer you give me an other question about Freidrich/Fritz ! But finaly it's not that important to the topic that's why i don't wanted to go further more on this ''F'' signification. I have read your previous posts and confirmed it by my own very little knowledge. Only 65 rounds of 20 mm is really poor, I've noticed that, JUST LIKE YOU ! And finaly, i've read this book in the F/G variant and I was wrong. 200 rounds was not the standard dotation for the axial MG-151/20 for every 109 variants. Some variant only have 150 rounds of those 20mm cartridges. But it's what this book says, I don't think it is the truth, but it's still a source of documentation. It's incredible how people can find aggressiveness where there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOSTILITY ! It's very disturbing. But let's close this altercation. I take it on my own. Sorry Solty, i never wanted to be rude, in anyway. Let's focus back on the topic :pilotfly:
  14. So if i refer to your link, F stands for Fritz, and not Freidrich in the IIIrd Reich x).. Anyway, Kurfürst sounds way better to me than Karl 8) Yeah i've noticed, 65 rounds for a 20mm is not a lot ! And all other variant of the 109 which have the axial MG-151/20 have 200 rounds if I remember corectly Underwing pods must be useful against the ''viermots'', but Bf-109 or Fw-190 which take those pods must need a real fighter escort too.. Specially against late war P-51, Spitfires/Tempest and P-47. So, a lot of means was necessary to have an efficient use of Bf-109 with underwing gun pods. But it seems that the late war Reich havn't all those means
  15. Maybe hes Grandfather was a Bf-109G-2/G-6 or even Bf-109F-x pilot in 1943. Heavy drag and manoeuvrability loss when carrying gunpods was a common issue for all the 109 variants, as far as i know, and the same statement was made by many Luftwaffe pilots for MG-151/20 vs Mk-108. I've a book about the Bf-109 (actually i have plenty of them... But i'm interrested in this one particulary regarding this topic), the title is in french : ''Les Chasseurs Allemands Tome 1 : Le Messerschmitt Bf-109'' In English : ''German Fighters Volume 1 : Messerschmitt Bf-109''. Written by Dominique BREFFORT and with André JOUINEAU's profiles. At the ''K for Karl'' section of this book i can read this (by the way, the true denomination was Karl or Kurfürst ? ^^) : ''The K-6, in addition to the standard armament, was equiped with two Mk-108 mounted on the wings''. No gun pods mentioned for the K-4. Also, in the Armament section of the K-4 model, i can read this : ''Two MG-131/13 machineguns with 300 rounds each and one MG-151/20 with 65 rounds (or one Mk-108 30mm canon) '' So, according to this source, Mg-151/20 centerline canon on the K-4 is plausible
  16. How is this campaign for you guys ? I planned to buy it and fly it with the 109. Do you think it's worth ?
  17. Uh, I can't stand with you in this conversation, my knowlegde about the English language is too poor. But I get your point, still don't share it. BF-4, Plant vs zombies, mario kart, all of those are fun. Not BMS/DCS, it's my point of view. Despite the fact that they are not ''fun'', I personnaly enjoy DCS/BMS much more than other software. Once again I'm surely wrong about the definition and the true understanding of ''Fun'', so, sorry ;)
  18. We just have a different definition of ''fun''.. For me ''funny'' games are the ones in which i can start in a minute or less, without reading 600 pages manuals and training again again and again to understand a system. I mean i take a great pleasure with DCS, Falcon 4 BMS or some X-Plane 10 add-ons, but i dont qualify them ''funny''. As BIGNEWY said, the ''fun'' in DCS/F4BMS is more given by community and freinds rather than the sim itself. (i think)
  19. This is WVR... F-15 can't stand. But in BVR, it's something else EDIT : Nice, not bad at all
  20. ''Fun'' doesn't really fit with ''simulator''... The most boring part of DCS are some IA behaviour and... FC-3 planes... So tired of those simplifed systems and flight model planes
  21. Pretty nice but don't like the music. Some nicely made scenes still
  22. Very complete and interesting
  23. Lol same things here. But already a great module in my opinion
  24. Wow its really surprising that the MiG-21 are difficult tu see on the radar, because they have a very high RCS... Doesn't make sense to me.. But still beautiful screens here ! Can't wait for the F-18 and F-14 seriously
