Thanks gents. It might be a problem with the mission, simple one but you never know. I will try it later on a MP server.

Hi, I can't create a mark point with the HMCS. Here is what I do: Select AG mode Press Mark key on the ICP TMS Up long to set the HMCs TMS Up short to display the cue Nothing happens. Any thoughts?

Hi, Nice campaign. Very useful while learning the Mirage F1. Mission#2, it looks like the last zone, landing at Akrotiri is missing. Image attached.

It worked. That was my mistake. I got shot down on the way to the hospital flying at 2500 feet. That was ..... I will have to find a way around this or fly lower. Nice campaign if I could judge from 45 min into the first mission.

Hi, I landed next to the blue smoke but nothing happened. Is there a problem or did I land on the wrong spot?

Hi, I was going through the mission and realize that the D/L stopped working right after WPT#4, perfect timing since lead asked me to go to combat spread and things started to warm-up a bit. Nice mission so far, at had to stop at that point since I didn't remember how to slave the TGP to the radar, silly me.

C3PO, look at the one from CasmoTV. Hilarious.

In pre-order. I can hear the turbines spooling up!

Honestly I have no idea about the position of my cyclic while flying. I know it's in front of me, that's it. What I know for sure is where I want to go/do and what I have to do to acheive this. I also look outside a lot.

Maybe this could help: Apply power slowly and continuously. Look forward and keep your nose straight with your feet. Do not touch the cyclic. You will notice that the helicopter is lifting nicely almost in a hover position. The helicopter has a tendency to move slightly forward and right (IIRC). This movement is easily cancelled with the beep trim but this can come a bit later on. Long story short, apply power gently, keep your nose straight and don't touch anything else.

BMS manuals contain everything you need to know about the systems and weapons. Not the most eye catching ones but definetly worth a look.

Here is a thread about CTLD that might help you: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=143107 It looks complicated at first glance but it's very easy at the second glance. Do not hesitate to contact BSD on discord and ask for some help.:)

Use CTLD script. Loading and unloading troops is a breeze.

Try this thing while lifting into a hover: Add power slowly (pull collective slowly). Keep your nose straight (a bit of right pedal). DO NOT touch the cyclic. She will lift nicely and almost settle into a steady hover. Use the "china hat" to trim the dragon.

Thanks Jester.

Thanks.

Hi, I am looking at the graphs and I do not see any wind input for computing the max IGE weight (same for OGE). Wind can ease things a lot. Did I missed something?

Thanks

Out of interest, are the wires modelled? Can they break? Despite what one can read about the Gazelle, I like this module, multicrew is really fun.

If you sat on the ramp for more than 15 minutes you might have not set your radios correctly and missed some instructions. Listen to the left seat pilot and you will not get bored. This campaign is brilliant and quite difficult. I am struggling to stay polite here, oh boy!

+1. That's why helicopter pilots are checked against this risk during the initial medical exam. Just don't fly straight into the sun.

Very newb friendly. Great team, and great place to learn and improve your skills. IPs have a very high level of patience (believe me). :D

Well, do not follow it by the letter, you will be surprised.

Short term options for a performance increase of the Fw 190 with 801 D through engine modifications based on the status of March 1944. 1.) Explanations for the chart: Altitude performance 801 D and F (page 2 and annex) 2.) Performance gains and conditions of usage for engine performance increases for various operational cases for the Fw 190 A) as fighter bomber (page 3) B) as tactical support (page 4) C) as fighter (page 4) I. boost increase II. GM I (Basis for engine data: internal operating instruction BMW JB Nr. 3064) 1.) Explanations for the chart: "Altitude performance 801 D and F". (chart see annex) Blue line: Normal 801 D, climb and combat power Red dotted line: 801 D take off and emergency power. The possible hp-gains resulting from the boost increase from 1.42 ata to 1.58 ata in first charger gear and 1.65 ata in second charger gear are the red areas. Green dotted line: This line shows a power boost resulting from the methanol injection, which was planned previously but not realized by BMW for the 801 D. Yellow and brown line: Climb and combat, and takeoff and emergency power for the 801 F engine. A comparative assessment of the plots shows that the performance gain of the 801 D through the increased boost is the most remarkable, but that the 801 F engine still has to be required with the highest level of urgency. This is even more so, since BMW intents a power increase similar to the one on the D-engine through increased boost and methanol injection for the F-engine (letter of BMW to Focke-Wulf dated 8.2.44). 2.) Performance gains and conditions of usage for engine performance increases for various operational cases for the Fw 190 Operational case A. Long range fighter bomber Boost increase from 1.42 ata to 1.65 ata Simultaneously C3-injection 65 l/min (Usage of increased emergency power prohibited in second charger gear) Usage: 3 x 10 min per mission with 10 min cooldown at combat power. Performance gain: (see shaded areas in plot below) Availability: to be installed continuously by A.A.. Parts available. B. Tactical support Same as longe range fighter bomber! C. Fighter I. Boost increase Values not yet approved by Rechlin at the moment. Boost increase from 1.42 to 1.58 in first charger gear 1.65 in second charger gear No C3 injection! Usage: At all altitudes in level flight and climbs 10 min permitted. In climbs limit use if possible. Performance gain: a) Speed: b) Climb performance: The considerable total gain (shaded area) comes from 2 factors: a) from 2400 to 2700 revolutions b) at 2700 increased boost with 10 min usage (not for climbs from sea level to ceiling!) Availability: Venting tubes and blinds available from BMW from March onwards II. GM I Usage about 20 min at altitudes above 8000 m at 80 gr/s. a) Climb gain: b) Speed gain: Availability: GM 1-installation possible from Fw 190 A-8 onwards.

Subject: Inspection of the GM-1 installation in Fw 190 A-8 1) A GM-1 system in fuselage and engine of Nr. 1581 installed similar to Fw 190 V 47 was inspected by the attendees. The requirements laid down by test center Rechlin in the memo of 16.2.1944 and the amendment of 23.2.1944 during the inspection of the prototype installation in V 47 are met. Opposed to that the pressure gauge has been omitted (protocol Nr. 4 of travel staff for desophistication of 3.4.1944). The following points were discussed in todays inspection: a. It will be tried to improve the accessibility of the locks in the vertical fastening strap. b. The GM-1 line on the tank with the upper connection is not accessible. Company AGO will try to install the tank with the line installed. At the same time the company AGO will add two removable hand sized access holes in the upper fuselage cover, starting with the next contract. c. Insulation of the connections which are unaccessible behind frame 1, will not be insulated. In front of frame 1 all connections points are to be insulated. d. Prior to the installation of the tank the oxygen bottles have to be removed. Starting with the new contract AGO will install the 3 oxygen bottles on the cover in the lower fuselage shell in the same was as it is done with the Ta 152. e. The DKP 2 has to be used as the switch in the left instrument panel. f. The continuity switch as demanded by the test center has been installed on the throttle lever using the end moment switch 19-3830 B and is alright. FW will clarify availability. g. The enrichement help 9-0-447 as developed by BMW touches the Kommandogerät oil return line. The mount for this line has to be lenghtened by 10 mm. BMW will do this. 2. The scope of delivery Fw 190 A-8 was defined and signed on the RLM-scope of delivery sheet BNA(?) L.190.3. Likewise, the scope of delivery sheet BNA(?) 190.2 for the Fw 190 A-9 with BMW 801 F (TH) engine in the first version, i.e. version 1, was defined and signed. 3. The still missing reference documents for the system in the Fw 190 A-8 will be available to the company AGO from 6.4.44 on in the specified version. 4. The approval and test specification for the GM-1 system in Fw 190 A-8 was discussed and signed by the attending parties. 5. Company AGO will by 8.4.44 notify about the introduction of the GM-1 system into serial production of the A-8, after the company BMW has confirmed the possible deliveries of the complete system in accordance with the above scope of delivery sheet and the announced delivery figures. Representatives of the test center and the RLM were not present. The protocol has been dictated in the presence of the attendees. Oschersleben(Bode), 4.4.1944 Klemm Fw/Fr
