    New cooling system contain, better cooling physics, new types of things like coolant boiling off, new engine over heat damage. This is what i noticed so far.

    In spitfire you crack throttle so engine can idle, cold engine turns harder then warm engine so this thing alone require greater throttle opening to avoid engine stalling. Those engine doesn't have any idle rpm governor, so if you want to maintain 1000rpm during warm up you need to back throttle from time to time if not rpm will go up. Same throttle opening gives different rpm for warm and cold engine and with cold engine you have to crack throttle other wise engine will stall once you stop priming, shame that DCS does not have this feature. And completely cold engine like merlin for example from ww2 is not capable of taking power. So minimal warm up always required even for scrambles, even manual warns pilots to not let engine overcool below 60C, below that temp engine can have trouble with proper reaction on throttle inputs. In DCS you start engine at -10C with throttle closed and engine runs like nothing. Throttle reaction instant.

    @Magic Zach I agree. If designer put smaller bolt on arm which actuate left and right flap then bolt holding individual flap, conclusion is obvious here. And if that is a case, DCS P-51 flaps behavior landed very far from how it should behave
  4. grafspee
    No way that p51 can do this
  5. grafspee
    Backflip? What do you mean by that.
  6. grafspee
    It depends on loadout, but combat P-51 won't rise tail as TF-51. Normally i would say that 90-100mph is when tail will rise.

    Only if you know that, if you try fight it during take off it makes a lot of mess.
  8. grafspee
    It is in options/special tab access only from main menu. I just went there and i found out that take off assist was at 100% in P-51, like @kablamomansaid, it is worth to check this regularly

    You can upload in to YouTube only video capture of the game, posting track is different thing and only DCS client can read that. So if any one is asking for track, you upload those directly in to forum, if you want that ppl can watch what you are doing in DCS without DCS client, you have to capture audio and video track via capture software, i for example use "NVidia experience" and then you can upload it to YouTube.

    It is simple, on the bottom of the post edit window You can drag file here or choose them from At the end on the mission you have option to save track. If nose goes down i pull stick aft that fix problem. I would advice to check if brakes aren't applied I can't help if i don't know when this nose drops.

    It does, but not sure if it does for Anton, i know for sure that K-4 is susceptible if you cruise at low power for long time. I experienced it in P-47 too, it sometimes happen during engine warm up from low temp, like -10C.

    I like that thing that he is still pumping primer because carb need some time to stabilize fuel flow, shame that in DCS you don't even need to crack throttle for start up.

    I think that mechanical sync of the left right flap has to survive. Single flap lose at high speed would disintegrate plane. So safe guard pin has to be on flap strut. Independent fail of right left flap would be enormous design flaw. Then if this pin fails flaps would move freely, and at 100mph those would not go down, a little bit yes but not all way down. And failure would be rather violent and quite dangerous for plane and pilot. But when flaps slowly giving up looks a like a leak type fail. This would explain why flaps still working at lower speed. For example if main seal of flap strut fails, it won't be able to hold flaps down at high speed but once speed drops even with internal hydraulic leak system can manage to operate flaps as usual.

    @Magic Zach Agree, i did test this issue a lot of times, flying 1-2 hours then switching to fuselage tank not even single drop of fuel found in every test i did. I'm not sure what affects vapor return rate, but i guess that higher power setting will generate higher vapor return rate. More fuel goes in to carb = more vapor I must say this, I've brought this issue on this forum but with no response from team sadly.
  15. grafspee
    Make sure that gen is on if you miss this braker battery will deplete and engine will not work fine, similar thing happens to K-4 maybe in Anton too.+

    I know that day time bombing before P-51 long range escort was introduced, B-17 squadrons were suffering heavy loses.
  17. grafspee
    I think is depends where hits goes, in one case you can down B-17 in short burst in other case you can unload whole mag and B-17 still flying.
  18. grafspee
    But look at accumulator line this one don't have check valve because both way flow is required on this line so flaps can be blow up while actuating is on.
  19. grafspee
    I agree with 2 and 3 point, flaps definitely should return to set position, and not remain at position where airflow blow then up. Unless it is some kind effect of mechanical damage, like rods being bent for example or speed is still too high so actuating mechanism don't have enough to force to overcome airflow. When valves are open actuating cylinder has as much force as oil pressure, at some point this may not be enough to overcome dynamic pressure acting on flaps surfaces.
  20. grafspee
    Good for you
  21. grafspee
    For example new players on the table, or other unknow factor to me. How can you be so sure that nothing has changed
  22. grafspee
    Yes no cooling updates since
  23. grafspee
    Looks nice, but so many screws
  24. grafspee
    In my case it wasn't even 0.5s burst. I did at least 15 fights and Anton can be downed with 1s burst on average, get your aim better.
  25. grafspee
    Not correct, Merlin 66/70/266 were cleared for 18lbs take off and 18lbs Combat 5min and merlin 61/63 were rated 12lbs for take off but combat 5 min rating was 15lbs 15lbs vs 18lbs rather cosmetic improvement compare to K-4 or D-9, but much needed against Anton.
