I haven't experienced the engine failure yet. I do fly at a max of 1.5 ata though. More testing to do.... And I agree with the OP. The Dora is one of my all time favorites. I hope ED continues to fix her and develop other WWII birds.

Good to hear that issue with the canopy will be fixed. I was also thinking that bombs and rockets might not have been used together. Great job on the FW190! I hope ED develops more wwii era objects and planes in the future. By the way for anyone interested, I highly recommend the FW190 series of books by Eddie J Creek and J Richard Smith.

Well i just read the manual for the third time and could not find this addressed. Maybe you can point me there. I don't think they had to punch the rack to fire rockets. And the canopy disappears when viewed from inside when fully open. Viewed from outside it is still there. That being said, it flies nicely. I cant wait to get more time in it.

So according to my flight testing with a full load of rockets and 4 bombs, I cannot fire rockets NO MATTER WHAT until I get rid of the bombs AND the rack. Then rockets fire fine. The Switch on the rocket control unit seems like it does nothing. With a centerline tank, the rockets fire fine. Again, the rocket control unit appears inop. latest open beta I am interested to hear what the correct procedure is to fire rockets while carrying 4 bombs on the centerline

Hi prof laser. I have just started a part time server. You are welcome to come fly any time it is online. The server is running a Caucasus map right now, although I can run any of the others. Scenarios are under development on other maps. I initially set this server up to provide a sandbox for basic flight and weapons training for members of our RC club. But all are welcome. We have air refueling, a fleet for carrier ops, dynamic weather, and some insurgent ground targets for practicing air to ground. Server: NAVAIR SRS 216.119.191.54 Discord https://discord.gg/HJgbzVc

The F-16, AH-1, and F-4.....can't wait

video was great. I don't quite know why they chose that music, but still good.

especially the AI models. some of them look really bad.

I agree with most of that. I just started DCS a few days ago and have already hooked up on the tanker with the hornet. trim trim trim. And patience. Learn what is going on and adapt. Quite frankly I got into DCS because of the depth of simulation. I don't think we need another "easy button" to water down the sim. But, having said that, I agree that the refueling thing needs a workover. It disconnects way too easily.

yes, yes, yes, and yes...+1

Well I went and dove in with the Hornet after just one flight in the default Su-25. I am a retired ATC and private pilot. Also I have flown flight sims since they started. But I was over my head at first in the hornet. Since beginning my DCS journey last week, I have been steadily learning the systems and procedures for the Hornet. I'm basically using it as a training platform for the F-14. YouTube has been indispensable for learning the systems. I also need to print out the manuals. Personally I prefer reading through a physical manual to the PDF thing. And I remember when computer programs all came with nice manuals. I really do wish that the developer would do up a proper SU35 with thrust vectoring and a proper cockpit similar to the hornet.
