Maybe ED can find the midway mark between what you used to have and what we all have now. I don't want an AI opponent so lame that fighting them is like fighting a chair, you win every time because, well... it's a frigging CHAIR. AI opponents shouldn't be able to sustain 8g turns without losing speed. They also shouldn't maintain energy across the entire flight envelope.

I find it very difficult to beat any of the AI aircraft due to their unrealistic flight modeling. And I have yet to beat an AI MiG-21 in the F-4E. In regards to the bold, in my experience all AI opponents do that to one degree or another. You can watch this happen in a TacView replay. I have a Tacview somewhere that shows a MiG-21 sustaining 8g turns without losing speed in turns or when climbing. (The speed of the MiG flucuates a small amount but anything it loses it regains quickly.)

Specifically, cowl flaps, intercooler and oil cooler. None of them had keyboard commands assigned by default so I mapped them myself ensuring there wasn't something else they were mapped to. I'll edit this post if I find more HOTAS bindings that are intermittent or not at all. Enable water injection not working either. *Edit* After more testing, cowl flaps and both coolers work intermittently. If they work, they work with keyboard commands AND hat inputs. (They ALWAYS work with the in-cockpit levers.)

I was pretty sure it was a bug when I noticed the rpm gauge spin around twice while making the video, After I stopped recording I moved the lever back and forth to verify what I just saw. This leaves me in an interesting position where I can't tell how many RPMs I'm actually running. I'll have to wing it (pun intended). I suppose.

7000 RPM is not a typo. I have it mapped to the flaps lever on my Virpil throttle and when I move the lever it's as if I was using the RPM handle that can get the engine way past the 2700 it's supposed to be maxed at. I'll see if I can grab a screen shot. If I use the keyboard commands I can open/close the cowl flaps easily. If I try using the hat switch it's mapped too then it's no joy.

With the throttle firewalled, 100% RPM and whatever fuel setting is default, I'm at 7000 RPM and 58 MP. I'm at 482 feet with default weather and I'm doing 305 knots TS. With no wind, my ground speed is 305 mph. When I drop the RPM to 2500 and with the throttle at Mil power MP drops to 32 and I'm doing 177 knots TS and slowly dropping. I'm also slowly losing altitude. I'm at default setings for cowl flaps, mixture, intercooler and oil cooler. Mapping those commands to my throttle (Virpil) doesn't seem to be working. I'll have to write down all those keyboard commands and try using those. .trk attached. F4U_Test.trk

Please tell me you did this.

Anyone have an export script for the Corsair yet?

No real pilot removes his hand from the control stick to use a mouse to click switches/dials in the cockpit. Right hand on the stick, left hand to select things in the cockpit. Since I can't use a mouse left handed (I'm very dominately right handed except for two things, fishing and tossing items a short distance) I prefer keybinds to having to let go of the stick.

I tried that.

I'm having this exact same problem.

I have no idea what you mean by that.

I don't think DCS recognizes the mode switch and I don't have the technical know-how to use vjoy/joystick gremlin. That said, the Virpil Joystick tester software lets you depress buttons on your controls and you see the corresponding button in the software light up. You can get buttons 1-55 and 67-71 to light up. 67-71 is the 5 position mode selector. Where are the others?

Both the Virpil software and Joystick Gremlin see 79 buttons on this throttle. I can find (via button presses) buttons 1-55 and 67-71. Where are 56-66 and 72-79?

Almost 7 years later and we still haven't made it to the end of the week.
