I don't think the OP was being a troll he thinks the same way as a lot of us here

Hueyman nice post!...and that blade looks very cool

DB 605 do I see the landing gear position indicator on his port wing? gear down indicator up

yes agree, maybe they will be able to improve the performance of the 30 at some point :)

yes I think one shot kills did happen maybe even often, just look at the otto post #13 above and that was a 100 yd shot...that plane would have been finished if it were up in the air

You miss understand, they were talking about/assuming well placed shots, not random hits on a wing tip...this study was done for the only purpose of a guide about how much ammo to order from production facilities

That makes sense, but what is the way and how to do a repair :)

Yes I think that the round certainly does not match the real thing...in Clod it use to be that one well placed round would finish off a fighter, not sure how it is nowadays...DCS should have a look at this problem with the K though, for sure

During the war the Germans did a study on this subject, I wish that I had saved that link. If I remember right it was like one cannon round to take out a fighter, and two or three for larger aircraft...with hit ratio of about 10 percent

thanks again DB you made it real simple again.. :)

thank you!...now I only need to find what screenshot key to push, and the location of my screenshot folder, where ever it is hiding :helpsmilie:

Beautiful!...DB 605 I never tried custom skins in DCS but after seeing your screenshots I really have to now :P. ...where do I put the downloaded skin, and how to activate?? thanks for any advice

Yes DieHard it is a very good aircraft that we have here, and will be getting better with the beta testing. It should be great fun when the proper maps become available.

Just do a windows search to find it...mine is in Dad/saved games

So you did most of your taxiing using the rudder, with the real tail draggers that you have flown??...how bout turns to starboard?

I was thinking of the ground taxiing and landing not the take off

Zero with a tail dragger :cry:...I'm able to land on the grass without the need of the rudder so it just seems off to me. But I could certainly be wrong though, my opinion is based on watching rudder use in some 109 Youtube videos :P

I have to disagree with you on this...I think that the rudder needs some work because it cannot be correct as is.

I can confirm this as well

That would be great and interesting too Sith...but: FAA-conventional geared aircraft To turn the airplane on the ground, the pilot should apply rudder in the desired direction of turn and use whatever power or brake that is necessary to control the taxi speed. The rudder should be held in the direction of the turn until just short of the point where the turn is to be stopped, then the rudder pressure released or slight opposite pressure applied as needed. While taxiing, the pilot will have to anticipate the movements of the airplane and adjust rudder pressure accordingly. Since the airplane will continue to turn slightly even as the rudder pressure is being released, the stopping of the turn must be anticipated and the rudder pedals neutralized before the desired heading is reached. In some cases, it may be necessary to apply opposite rudder to stop the turn, depending on the taxi speed.

It's really interesting how this pilot uses the rudder, fast and often sums it up. Compare that to my landings of which I use very little rudder if any, so what is up with that ? :P

Yeah, you need very little left rudder in the game as well, but I can see that as being correct. As far as the right rudder goes, I'm just hoping that it gets a good look at...:) "Do your car wheels come to a complete stop as soon as you just touch your brakes " no they don't but I'm sure that I would spot the braking action of the 109

ya know when I first watched, it had 15k views now it is over 1 mil.

I also notice that in this video while the pilot is doing a right hand turn: 1.pilot is applying hard right rudder 2. right wheel continues to turn freely during the turn(so rudder not brake causing the turn) I think the rudder is not fine :P

you must have a discrepancy with the assignments, check that out
