This is a fantastic piece of software, thank you! I have three somewhat related questions: 1) What is required to move a campaign between computers? 2) I play with a group and we use a dedicated sever, is this compatible with the DCS dedicated server software? If so how would it be run? 3) Is it possible to have multiple running (active, not with missions occurring simultaneously) campaigns at the same time on one computer? My group is interested in having a modern and WWII campaign in progress simultaneously. Thanks! Gekko

Hi, I can answer these questions for you, I've got about 1,000 hours in the real L-39. - If you exceed the flap auto-retract speed they do retract fully, not to takeoff. This isn't a problem unless the airspeed switch has a malfunction, which is not uncommon. - There isn't a damper on the throttle, but the acceleration of the engine is limited by the fuel control. You can move the throttle as fast as you want, and the engine will accelerate or decelerate to get to the selected power as fast as the fuel control allows it to. Part of the first flight of the day runup is to slam the throttle to mil power from idle and time how long it takes to get to 90% of max fuel pressure. It has to be between 9 and 12 seconds. - The paddles on the ejection handles are safeties, but only one has to be pulled to allow the handle to move and initiate ejection. It isn't designed to get you into a good position, but to reduce the possibility of inadvertent ejection. - On the jet the throttle friction is just to the right of the throttle in the front seat. It is a lever that has no friction when full aft, and when pushed forward adds friction to both throttles (as they are mechanically linked). - The lever on the right front of the seat is the Emergency Chute Separation level, which allows a manual bailout or manual man-seat separation after ejection. The lever on the left front of the seat is the shoulder harness release, which allows you to release the shoulder harness lock to move more freely in the cockpit. During an ejection the shoulder harness is retracted with pyrotechnics to pull the pilot back into the seat. Let me know if you have any more questions, the L-39 is a great jet and the DCS one is very close to the real thing! Gekko
