I'm not english, so if the sentence is a bit strange... :) Reading the line, I have understood that the flight model is the advanced flight model, like the SU25, and that this flight model has been later improved to PFM for A-10C, P51D and other planes. But I have not understood that all AFM planes have been improved to PFM ^^ Great that it is PFM though, even if I prefer american planes than german :)

To come back about RPM management (as this thread should not be about tailwheel... my fault ^^) I have unlocked my X55 twice throttle, and I use the right one for manifold pressure, and the left one for propeller, works fine. Also, guess when you say 3000 rpm at takeoff, this is with manifold pressure to 30 or so... as when I'm idle or taxiing, even with the propeller full, I have not a lot of rpm... only when I increase manifold pressure the rpm increases. I noticed as well that, as rpm is dependent on manifold pressure, that when we are landing and should maintain 2700 rpm, when we land we are lowering the manifold pressure, therefore we should also adjust rpm to keep 2700...

And we can't use the differential brakes when the wheel is locked? Indeed, we have airfields designed for big jets, not small planes ^^ Can't wait for normandy map (just wonder from where the german planes will takeoff if the map covers only normandy ^^)

You can turn off the vive controller to not have the glove on. As the vive controller is of no use in DCS World, usually I start DCS with my mouse, before putting the VR helmet on, and I don't even start the vive controller...

Thanks for the tips. In what kind of situation we would need to have the wheel free? And how do I check if the wheel is free or locked?

btw do we have sunglasses? ;)

I should read the whole handbook of the P51D (guess this flies the same as the TF51D) but for now I have just read the quickguide. And ok I have understood, the text below the RPM lever says that we should for taxiing keep stick full back, guess this is to have the tail wheel free, it is surely not about the propeller lever but the stick we use for pitch and roll :) And thanks for the tips Ok for landing, 2700, this is written in the cockpit if I remember well as a checklist ^^

Btw I wonder, in the quickstart guide, for takeoff and landing they talk about the manifold pressure, but they don't talk about the propeller (rpm) level we should have. How I should setup the P lever for that? I have read the text below the lever, and they say that for taxiing the lever should be all the way back, but what about takeoff and landing? Thanks

Except for extreme conditions, shouldn't we keep the manifold pressure and rpm into the green curve?

Hi, When we check the "random failure" checkbox, are failures really random? Or do they depend on the way we fly? So, they are random? Or realistic? Like, I guess the rpm and manifold should stay in the green as long as we can in the real plane, except maybe in fights, and therefore too high a manifold pressure or rpm could increase the risk of failure? Thanks

I'm flying with a real size helicopter cyclic with no return to center, so trim does not effect me much... Guess just that was because I was landing too fast.

It is indeed (different beast), I fly a Robin DR 400, with a cruise speed of about 200/250 km per hour ;) A fine plane though. I just started learning the mustang, can't make a good landing yet, have to learn the landing parameters. (Guess I'm landing too fast, I bump on the runway) In VR (HTC Vive) the mustang is wonderful to fly ^^ Flying with a X55 throttle, and a real size EC135 cyclic, a real pleasure... sooner or later I'll buy the P51 ^^ Though I have no pedals for now, so will have to figure out how to make automatic rudder, I have read this is a dcs option... And so, thanks for the info...

Hi, I do not own the plane yet but I fly the TF-51 which is basically the same. I have read in the quickstart guide that the procedure to takeoff is with flaps up. I'm surprised because I'm a pilot student and my instructor taught me we should takeoff with a bit of flaps (and land with all flaps). Thanks

Hi, I have setup the rotary 1 and 2 on my X55 throttle to be axis, and then I have setup them as trim for rudder and yaw in the TF-51 mustang plane. But my issue is that I move the rotaries way faster than the sim moves the trim. So the effect is for instance for a given trim, I move the rotaries, and it takes a few seconds for the sim to catchup the position I stopped. So I wonder if there is a way to make the sym reacts faster and rotate the trim faster. Thanks

Hi, When we have an htc vive controller active, we see in the cockpit a glove that mimick this controller. Though seems there is no way to do anything with this glove, or am I wrong? I mean, how can I manipulate switches with it? And if this is possible, thing this is doable do use that when strapped on an arm, to manipulate switches? Thanks

Hi, I have a question about the FW 190. Both the P51 and the 109 have the professional flight model. The FW 190 on the description says "Advanced Flight Model" So, what's the difference? Advanced flight model is between standard flight model (SU25) and PFM (PF51)? Thanks Edit: mmm when I check that : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/505/ I see that FW 190, BF 109 and P51D have PFM. But here : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/products/planes/dora/ They sayf AFM, not PFM. So I don't understand...

Indeed will it be available on steam? Note though that products purchased here do not work on steam. BUT products bought on steam work on the standalone version.

Hi, What's the best way to handle switches in VR with DCS? I have tried with the cursor following my view, but this is not really doable, as with a little move I can miss my target and sometimes I need to look outside and handle switches looking at them with a bit of peripheral vision. So now I have an issue... is there a way to disable the mouse cursor to follow the headset? As even when we use the mouse option, it also follows the headset move, this is not very convenient... I would like a 100% mouse handle for switches... Thanks

That would be good that DCS could allow to move in comm menu with hotkeys like up/down, so we could bind it on a HAT... Voice attack is maybe good, but not useable to play at night...

The 1080 is maybe a good video card, but how expensive... near the price of the HTC Vive :)

Will this Tomcat be mulltiplayer ready, with someone in the rear seat as well? Also, would be fine to be able to have a AI in the rear seat, that will give us vocal info or misc things...

Sure. And it will help me in real life too. At home I have a real plane flight manual as I'm a student pilot on ultralight planes :) Though this is hard to find the time to do all this... Working 35 hours a week, real life flight lessons, other games (like star citizen), and my wife and three children :)

Hey then we should concentrate on a single one. :) not enough time in life to master several :)

But the forum resize them by itself to fit the forum width...

Why does it hurt your hips? What do you mean?
