And that’s what plane(s)? And you can categorically exclude that it has different ground handling characteristics like say a P-51?

That's quite a bold statement. We can agree that different airplanes generate a different amount of slipstream at low RPMs and that the tailwheel is connected differently to the rudder at different planes. Unless you have some deeper insights into warbirds I would not state that the Spitfire feels "like the real thing". If you mean the Piper Cub with that, it might be true.

I think I did a ‚quick start‘ landing with the P-51.

Don’t know why but it seems F2 doesn’t give an external view any longer.

When? Looks to me like the last posting of the developer was done a year ago.

Which ones? Didn’t see anything in the change logs.

Ok, all works fine if I choose Oculus VR instead of steam VR. Strange.

I don't know with which update/version it started but lately my picture is shaking annoyingly (Oculus Rift). Checked the Oculus demo app - steady picture. But as soon as I sit in some plane it is shaking. Any ideas?

Also was thinking of buying the module but it looks like its abandonware.

Yes please! Wish a proper quick mission generator would work!

By this you mean don’t increase the AOA to much? if that’s what you want to say, I have the same impression with the P-51. By not pulling the stick to much the landings usually get smoother.

You mean you can’t turn without differential braking? Didn’t play for a while to remember.

You mean when rudder effectiveness starts.

I find the P-47 quite easy to bring to takeoff and land compared to the P-51D. Can someone elaborate a bit? Is it the shorter tail and wider landing gear? Or just CG more favourable? Or simply the flight model? How is the Spitfire in comparison?

Absolutely. But with a flightsim pedal you have nothing more than a small spring tension to work against.

And I can tell you from experience that knowing the right power settings and having your attitude under control you can fly a 172 with minimal trim. e.g. level attitude and 2300-2400 will deliver you cruise speed without overly strong forces you need to trim away. The same goes for pattern attitude speeds and flap settings - its a question of knowing the exact numbers by heart and not fumbling around to much. But I had a very good instructor. Its different for a warbird like the P-51D but the 172, as a trainer aircraft, is very well balanced. Thats the key point here.

Don’t say that. IRL I can fly a Cessna 172 well without. It’s a question of knowing speed and power settings.

Thanks!

Thanks. Can you explain?

What does "tailwheel tuned (for all aircraft)" in the changelogs mean for the P51D and in general?

Are there any alternatives to using the mission editor? Any predefined multiplayer missions I can download?

I would like to fly the F-14 with a friend playing the RIO. Is there any multiplayer training file or PVE server for noobs or something similar? I'm quite new to DCS so I have no idea how to set it up.

Found the P-47 much easier to land. But maybe some help was still turned on. Just had 10 minutes.

Sorry for asking if the answer is in this threat, but isn’t a right turning tendency normal for a counterclockwise turning prop? Different, western engine?

I think the poster has some point when it comes to engine failure. It's not a binary on-off-thing. There should be more signs of engine roughness and audible changes before it totally brakes. Don't want to mention the other developer here again who managed to mimic that quite good...
