Bart...hear hear, from an early student of "Johnnie" Johnsons Wing Leader at the age of about 15. I am loving it!

I searched for Deferred Shading and got no hits. So my question is : My system has no option for it, but something called SSAA. What am I missing, if anything? Cockpit and aircraft look great.

Oooops! Another thing I have to find. Thanks.

The latest update seems to have included an update to the action of the tailwheel. I have been waiting for someone to raise it here. Mine acts like an excited puppy with a stumpy tail. It even extends to the cockpit, which vibrates in sympathy. Any fix in sight?

Thanks Art-J for your input and assistance - the new liveries are now available. Reflected - great work on the skins and much appreciated.

I never concern myself with brakes locked. Throttle half-an-inch open, as soon as she fires, back to idle - she wont go far. The quirks of taxying and takeoff will soon occupy you far more.

The path would be : B\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\SpitfireLFMkIX\RAF Johnnie Johnson EN398 by Reflected\ I notice that for me the SpitfireLFMKIX does not have a folder in Liveries...It goes from Soldier Stinger to Stinger Comm. Is that how it should be? Should I just create a folder "SptifireLFMKIX"?

I used your suggestion of this site... https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=361 And used the liveries by Reflected...for instance the RAF Johnnie Johnson.

Thanks Weegie - I have successfully used JSGME for the sound mod and I tried it for the liveries as the paths are the same. I will keep trying and yes, when I select the Spit, I always make it UK. I think the files downloaded and extracted from zip are incomplete in some way - thats my guess.

I have no file called Eagle Dynamics in C drive under program files (or program files (x86). The DCS sim is running ok though. Does this make me a bad person? ;-) I have DCS installed on a separate drive I call B.

Thanks Reflected...yes it does. Beautiful landing - best I've seen and making it look easy. Great tip on looking at your attitude at the pre-takeoff position and replicate it on landing. Now, if I could only get your liveries to work!

Neilius I won't be happy till me landings are like yours. Gives me something to strive for! Well done from a natural.

No need to build/modify anything. Just bind wheel brakes to a convenient button (mine is on the throttle) and "tap" it for small inputs or "Press and hold" for full applications. Works a treat.

Captian Orso...patience and perseverance is the only way. Caucasus or Normandy cold start. Get her rolling and throttle back a bit. Full rudder in the direction you wish to go (say right) and TAP the brakes. Once she starts to swing, full left rudder and tap again to straighten her. Just remember any input has to be corrected by its opposite EVERY time. Make sure your rudder button binding is to the full rudder authority input and NOT incremental. Check after start by going to aircraft view and swing that rudder. Trust me...it will come.

DD Fenrir (and others), your advice in helping with the Spitfire has been invaluable and kept us mere mortals at it. Most of us would have binned it long since only for you. Every time I taxy and line up I have a big smile now...

Thanks for the help...I tried to put them on the path as suggested by saburo as it seemed the most logical. Still no show. I will also put them in a new folder as Rudel has shown. We will get there!

Maybe a silly question, but in which folder in DCS are they placed and what is the best way to access them on a flying model?

Many good You Tube videos out there to help....

I had a rough/surging engine in the Spit and after landing found I had forgotten to flip up the booster and start switch covers and fully close the primer pump. I do that religiously now and she is smoother. Fuel booster pump always.

Thomas Palmar video was a big help to us all I reckon. I listened carefully and heard him say "Nose up...nose up...nose up" with the elevator trim on approach with gear and flaps. You have to have it bound somewhere on your HOTAS so you can adjust without taking your eyes away from the threshold. A huge help for my landings.

I posted earlier that it impossible to taxy the Spit without rudder pedals. WRONG! I have two buttons allocated on the CH Fighterstick and with perseverance and practise, I can now put her within 6 inches of anywhere. Critical is the right throttle setting for taxying (too little power and she stops - too much and she is away) and the fact that you have to COUNTER each rudder/brake input with the OPPOSITE to keep her straight. That was the concept I could not get.

Thanks Reflected...Wing Co Johnson needs to be represented having scored most of his "kills" in the IX. You have chosen the red maple leaf, which I think is correct. Some model kits give you red and green. A bet each way. Your depiction is spot on and proud to fly it.

Sokol1_br...excellent research and good info. I would like to go back to 1936 to Vickers Supermarine and tell them : "Please don't go with rudder and "stick handle" braking. Talk to North American first and you will save simulator operators in the future a lot of blood sweat and tears!" TF 51 is a "gentleman" on the deck.

Sorry....I mean actual pedals. I have rudder bound to two buttons on the stick. Thats ok for takeoff, flight and landing. But they are useless while taxy-ing. You cannot taxy without pedals.

Buzzles....From my limited experience on the IX I found that take-off and landing is possible without rudder pedals, but ground handling and taxi-ing is impossible without them. I have ordered mine.
