I never knew RAM air could have an effect. Used only key binds. Watched temps a few times not seeing any change.

Keybindings operation now increase / decrease full on / full off. Gradual moving no longer possible with keybindings. Not tried / never used axis binding. Movable with mouse as before (clumsily).

Not confirm. My keybinds for opening and closing P-51 works fine just as before (LCtrl-C & LShift-C). I can also open and close canopy using the mouse (mouse wheel). There is some weirdness in CONTROL OPTIONS screen though. Both "Canopy Closing" and "Canopy Opening" are orange marked and have double entries. Popup says "Different actions have identical descriptions".

Bound to analog axis (TM Warthog "slider"), lever in cockpit does NOT animate. Actual flaps moves. Clicked by mouse, lever & flaps moves.

-When operated by keybinds they work as they should, ie spring loaded hold. -Mouse click above works as it should(?), it cycles between up and center (manual). -When mouse clicked left or right they work as they should, ie spring loaded hold. Note, one need to zoom in close and click carefully just right for this to work. problem is the erroneous and superfluous center click detection is very close. But when mouse clicked at center (manual), they cycle through four positions: manual (center), left, up and right. In that order. Simplest fix: remove the center four cycle click detection. As it's spring loaded, it should never be stuck at left or right. It's not just the animation. At least stuck left does operate the cooler flap (not tested, assume stuck right does too).

Lost clickable cockpit. Monitor res differ game res.

Warbird nose over tail down bounce physics seems different. Integrity check fail trying multiplayer? So I must uninstall MB-339? never had too before. That was it. A-4E still installed. Scratch that. A-4E as well. Funny how it didn't find both at once. Spitfire gauges "cloudy" (from certain angles), less readable. P-51 unchanged.

My Spit will no longer be halfway thrown off the carrier? Ground power will work?

Easy way point looping of vehicles (sea, ground air). There's a complicated way to do it I've not explored. I asked and got reply. I've used ME minimally (seriously I've hardly used it at all) and I missed that functionality. Point being, seems a very useful functionality that should be easy.

Oil temp gauge CB pops at 1500 rpm if cabin light is on and at full rheostat. Cabin light and oil temp gauge runs through same CB? If one squints at this photo. http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/cockpits/WWII_tour/WWII-23.html the top right breaker could read: Compass LT Oil Temp Oil Dil Inst A. CKPIT T something. So four things wired to this CB (including oil temp)? Shouldn't light go out when CB pops out? Someone repeat my video at night? Also, if CB drives "compass" in some way, that could be detectable to. I did notice, CB doesn't pop if rheostat is low. Low rheostat is light enough (at night). One don't need to turn it up. Still, it makes no sense that full cabin light rheostat is unusable. I'd love to see the schematics. How does this make sense?

Reminds me of the bury-tail-after-repair-bounce-up-insanely bug (the bounce is long fixed). It does show tail part coming off easy (too easy?). Interesting note, though just repaired, violent bounce up destroys tail wheel. So tail-plane hits ground without tail wheel dampening.

DCS has such an extended use of RWin I figured it was a standard just excluded on smallish "full" keyboards.

Looking for a keyboard I found one "gaming keyboard". Link to "DELTACO GAM-024" It has press-multiple-keys feature "anti-ghosting". Nice. Not really needed but nice. It also has 16 extra keys labeled "mediakeys". I absolutely cannot find any information about them. The only way they would make sense and be useful were if they are programmable macro keys. But again, I cannot find any information about them. No downloadable software I can find to reprogram. They look non-labeled and they'd only be that if they are programmable, right? Keyboard has what I look for, all the standard key (WIN ALT CTRL keys on both sides of Space). No annoying frivolous useless labeled extra keys. Just those 16 programmable(?) keys. If I could only find out out exactly what they are?

My new keyboard doesn't have an right side Win Key!!! I feel dumb. Buying a cheap "full" (number pad) keyboard I just assumed. I didn't imagine it wouldn't have a right side Win key so I didn't even look. The key in it's place is some "menu function" key. It is recognized in DCS. But it is NOT recognized as a qualifier key. As an unorthodox extra key I have no use for it. There's a fix, a reprogramming keyboard downloadable app. But I really don't want to use an app to introduce potential messes with all other programs on the keyboard. Also, the app writes the Windows registry, another thing I really don't want do to. 15 years ago I used to write Win Registry, it's never worth the trouble. Is there anything I can do but bite the sour apple and get another keyboard?

Guess that's why Wikipedia only lists "static" survivors. IIRC, one flying "Yak-9" had an Allison, performed a little better. Close enough.

A hooked Spitfire tops my list (along with the F4U). If DCS does a hooked Spitfire, they could do the Griffon Seafire. We'd get a different Spitfire and the highest performing Spitfire (usable up to Korea, but not WW2?). But I'd buy any hooked Spitfire.

Add Yak-9 to list of "doables". Agreed, if DCS reasonably can't show they can verify a flight model, they shouldn't do it at all. Not saying Yak-9 tops my list, but I'd get it. 1) I didn't know Yak-9 had such a wide span from 1942 until Korea (or that it was "a pillar"). 2) I'm sure I've seen multiple restored flying Yak-9. Stumbled over this on reddit today. US Marines guard a captured North Korean Yakovlev Yak-9, Korea, 1951. Introduced in 1942 the Yak-9 became one of the pillars of the Soviet Air Force and survived until the early 1950,s

Oil dilute is implemented, it reduces oil pressure in P-51 and Spitfire. I do this a lot. What's important having engine off? Why not spawn engine on?

It got the Corsair gear by mistake?

Joining the choir. Spitfire is my absolute favorite because of it's flying characteristics.

Edit/add: I-16 now have radio! I made this whole post without looking down and noticing. First look, radio is not clickable. Search "Radio" in "CONTROL OPTIONS" yields only OFF and ON, so just a nonfunctional graphical add on so far? At least graphically it looks very nice with worn metallic surfaces. As everybody knows, I-16 used to nose dive and sideslip heavily when hands off stick and rudder. Well, now it flies pretty much level and coordinated. Fine, a lot more comfortable to handle. I'll assume it's a fix closer to reality and not because of complaints. In one of earliest threads someone states I-16 had ground adjustable trim tabs. It does makes sense that the plane, in real life, would be ground adjusted to fly straight and level (at some desirable speed). Assuming it's true, I-16 has ground adjustable trim tabs, it would be great, I think (and I've suggested this before), make it like the Bf 109, add these adjustments to the "SPECIAL" column. ~ Also, as headline states, something has changed with the cooling algorithm. Degraded the engine unexpectedly. Seems more attention is now required to watch temps and adjust both cooling levers. Seems adjusting levers yields a quicker result in changing temps. I used to fly all day at 91 MP 2200 rpm, today it overheated (and undercooled cyl heads), engine damaged, started to stutter. Don't quote this, didn't carefully observe and compare. Time will tell if I imagined it. Did note someone complain recently that the I-16 engine never breaks. I don't get that at all. First I tried it, 2019, learned quickly one cannot keep going 2300 rpm. Now it seems to require even more attention. ~ New tag: "ground adjustable trim tabs", tentative until / unless coming up with something better. In real life someone calls them "Ground adjustable tabs". mod: move to i-16 folder.
