I am finding that manually operating the radiators helps a lot.

The last time I flew the Dora without constant engine problems was around the time the original Normandy map was released in 2017. An update shortly after that broke the FW190 engine and it has been broken ever since. It's rare to fly this thing without engine trouble, it is incredibly bad. It seems to possibly be linked to MW50 use but who knows. Just can't believe it has been broken for so long. I really loved this plane when it wasn't broken, was a blast to fly. But that was about six years ago now.

The script Group.getByName("Naval-1"):getController():setAltitude(-28, true, "") causes submarines to fly instead of dive. A positive altitude number does nothing. I can only make the submarine surface or fly. Submarine not diving.miz

Are there any plans to fix this? Starting the jug takes a long time and is a major deterrent to flying it compared to other aircraft.

The AI cheats, unless you are in a plane that can out turn the AI plane you are going to have a hard time.

I don't think flyable bombers in DCS is controversial at all. Lots of people want them. Maybe people who don't understand what makes bombing fun and have never tried it think bombers are bad. There are plenty of people who mostly do ground attack and there are entire squads that devote themselves to bombing. Flyable bombers add an entirely new and fresh set of opportunities and activities in flight sims. Planing flight paths to avoid/evade the enemy, bomber formations, low level navigation, adjusting bomb load for specific missions and organising fighter escorts. Escorting AI bombers is boring compared to escorting players who can communicate and use different tactics.

Both are great and can do everything.

Yeah this is still happening for me. When I fly with people who use VR they are always spotting planes before me. Some of these people that see things way better then me are also using MODs that improve spotting. Can DCS just render planes in a way that's visible? Why do I have to be at a huge disadvantage because I use a screen and high resolution with no graphics mods?

Opening the chat box to type freezes your controls so that you cant control aircraft while you are typing message.

Need to fix the bugs, to many really bad bugs. For example the P51D ram air lever does not work meaning you are flying with signifacantly less engine power at altitude. Unpredictable engine failures with the Dora. Bombs not working correctly. The .50 calibre guns don't work very well making the American aircraft unsatisfying to fight in. The slow pace of development and the accumulating bugs is taking its toll.

Didn't know we had API modelled in DCS.

You can bind them to an axis and with a modifier button so you don't have to unbind anything as a temporary fix.

You cant have the pacific WW2 without the Zero and carriers! Carrier warfare is the one unique major attraction to Pacific air combat. Its like having European theater without 109s and heavy allied bombers.

How about make a 109G6/G14 combo module and give it the option to carry gun pods as an extra selling point so people have a reason to buy it over the K4?

If its for European theater then a 1945 German bomber. If its for Pacific then the A6M5 Zero + Carrier. Since the pacific map is free and some preexisting modules already fit(P47 and P51) focus should be on the Pacific instead of a new Battle of Britain scenario.

I don't know what to think. I want the pacific, WW2 carrier battles in DCS would be amaizing. At the same time we have a late war European theatre that is not far from what could be considered completion. With the Mosquito coming I think the germans need some sort of decent ground attack aircraft to add a little variety. The 262 is not particularly ground attack but it is iconic, popular and would add some much needd variety to the German European theatre. At the rate the European theatre has been developed I am a little concerned when I hear that ED wants to do Pacific AND the BOB? I have to wonder how that will be achieved and how long that will take?

Just had a look, it does not go past 61" as far as I can tell.

I was at full mil(wire not broken, no WEP used).

I think the mosquito is supposed to be multicrew? I could be wrong. They are also doing the Mi-24 which surely would be multicrew?

Oil temp goes from just below green to maxed out within a few seconds and engine dies. Was flying at over 350mph with oil radiator open.

Considering the speed at which DCS WW2 is being developed I would concentrate on complementing the current set of aircraft which is later 1944 to 1945. We should get a 1945 map a flyable medium bomber for allies and axis. Considering the F4U corsair and the Marianas free map are already in development I think the next focus should be on Japanese aircraft for the pacific theatre. Especially when we already have some allied aircraft that were used in the Pacific. The P47D and P51D.

They pop in and out constantly until they are at a medium distance.

Can't have carrier battles without a Japanese carrier fleet.

Probably 2 G6s with gunpods.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could use WEP in the P51D without guaranteed random engine failure.
