    Yeah, doesn't look like a lot of compression. (That's the bomber variant but I suspect the gear are exactly the same. The fighter/bomber was an afterthought - explaining why many of our instruments are behind our gunsight!) And it also shows just how much shock the tires take up. What are they inflated to? How's that compare to P-47/P-51 tire pressures? I'm guessing a lot less. And surely there's a maintenance manual somewhere that says exactly what compressions we should expect on the struts under what weight conditions.
  2. SMH
    Looks like only a few inches. (You can see the part of the strut that's extended as a darker color in that first shot.)

    That's ridiculous. As if artists can't depict a product that the world is full of examples of! You cannot "copyright" the shape of your vehicle. (You can design patent it, which only prevents others from making vehicles in that shape, not from depicting that shape in artworks, which DCS assets absolutely are by every definition of the term.)

    Springs compress under constant pressure, so it does work like a spring. It just has dampening so it doesn't bounce too much. The Mosquito's suspension is just a stack of rubber blocks though. (See all the excellent photos and diagrams posted above.) And what your video shows here is pretty much the same as what the P-47 and P-51 are doing. (Except the P-51 is too soft and bouncy.)

    It was a Logitech Wingman Force 3D. I think the Microsoft ones have an IR sensor that make the stick go dead when your hand isn't on it.

    Awesome! Really love your work! (ED should buy it from you!)

    Yeah we were promised one. I wonder if it snuck in without mention in the Changelog as happens far too often? Checking for new content... the .dll and manifest files always change for every aircraft with every update so those don't necessarily mean anything. Though that .dll also contains the flight model so, hard to say.

    Yeah I've temporarily removed that and let it make a new one to rule it out. (Then restored it when it didn't help.) Nothing bad in there. Good suggestion though, thanks.

    I frequently run full repairs to verify my installation integrity and have also tried it with all mods removed. No help. ST works just fine though. (Though it's now starting to fall behind in features and they're threatening to abandon it completely soon. Ugh!)

    Yeah I guess they're there (I must have had my volume lower when I came to report this because I didn't hear them at all). They were a lot easier to hear before though and felt a lot more informative. I feel like we're moving backwards. Felt the same with the Mustang, liked it better before, now it sounds like a sewing machine. (Does btd use some kind of massive subwoofer or something that's making him suck all the bass out of sounds? I'm in headphones, so should be pretty accurate.) (Forgive my flying too, I'm just trying to make it make sounds.) (Oh and check out my "microstutters"! MT is unplayable! Yet ST performs fine.)

    Can you show us a recording? I'll make one to show you as well.
  12. SMH
    LOL! Wow!

    So it turns out the Mosquito's struts do compress as the aircraft weight increases, just not by much. (Which I think is probably correct for this rubber block type of suspension.) Here's a track and 4x playback speed video to show the effect as we go from empty, to full, and back to empty. Also included are tracks for the P-51 and P-47, which show this effect much more dramatically, particularly the P-51 (which, again, seems maybe a bit too soft and/or springy).

    We're not supposed to use fog either, right?

    Why have the interfaces for no longer working features been left in the sim? Do they have any idea how much frustration and wasted time that causes users, particularly new ones who get scared off by issues like these? (Another one is the double-mapping of controls that DCS likes to do by default if it doesn't have preset mappings for your controllers. How many people never get past that and think the sim or their hardware is faulty?)
