Is their anyway offline to get my view up 2 more notches, horizontal just 1/4 of an inch under the top of the glass seems like my movement up is locked. Can this be edited in SNAPVIEW File for offline play.

Its a new year and we are still flying the same airframe against the same aircraft. Us in the WWII community in the skies over Normandy these changes could have been made giving more options for mission builders. Again most of us are not getting any younger LOL! Also can you unlock the .LUA so we can enjoy adjustments OFLLINE!

Fen has a point it would be good to see a 109 G Series. However with the increase of the Urga Map I would not mind a Battle of Britain in DCS. Hurricane rotol MK1 100oct and 87. Same for a Spitfire MKIa 100 oct and 87 no boost. A 109 E4 Series and a few bombers completed JU87 and 88 a HE111. I was flying over London this morning and I get amazing FPS on my 4080 and took the same hop on Cliffs of Dover and Urgas map is great.

Could do a Large map because most of it is the Pacific...

It would be nice to get an MKIXe wing just for the 50 cal fire power. I still believe a Merlin 66 eng. would also help!

Dedicated server... Any help would greatly be appreciative. TWC_Blacknight dcs.log-20220628-002454.zip

Trying to use MIST to Unit:FindByName() then link them in a large formation of B17 the games mission editor works but trying to get units that are already spawned to link up fly to an Ingress then to target carpet bomb. Then egress and head home. I have tried MOSSE for 2 weeks now and cannot get them to connect. Blacknight

Glad to hear and look forward to what you put in the air, hoping you go backwards to 1940 LOLOL... One of my favorite eras of planes to fly and to see a hurricane flying over the cliffs would be awesome... Thanks TWC_Blacknight

I have tried just to make a suggestion to the team under the spitfire but it applies to all allied aircraft, I was about to get nasty but it seams Fen in his comments just likes to put people down. The sad thing is I respect his opinion on some of the stuff he said, but see it differently. He mentioned that DCS is tactical and again the 2nd TAC was using 150oct over Normandy and could give a unique twist to mission building and a long term campaign. Anyway look forward to seeing anyone over the Channel and hope that a Spitfire MKIa Rotol 100oct vs a 109 E4, maybe a hurricane MIa Rotol 100 as well dueling it out over the channel map with an HE 111. I have enjoyed the Fights on SOW against good 109 pilots and see more migrating from the other sim over here. I was trying to build the same type of online campaign server here as I help run on CLOD. The concept of fuel upgrades could add another twist to the simulation, and not just to get better GAS as it seems I am being attacked on. If someone wants to fly your server it is all product choice in multiplayer. The concept of choices and right now the MKIX we have could use another slot with a merlin 70 HF e version, with 50cal and 20s... This could also play in the campaign concept with a high flyer. I noticed though most of the younger guys stick to the jets and our community in WWII is about 50 years old to 85 and we are not getting any younger. The advancement in the genre has been slow to come in DCS because of the modelers choosing to collect the data and make the warbirds. We have been waiting for the Corsair for some time now and a Historical plane that guys can fly to fight it. Also one giant map of the Pacific because it is mainly water would be great (HINT)! Anyway glad to see Normandy Map Expanding. I hope the Channel map takes us to Berlin some day! To end this I would like to say looking forward to more LODs and the damage model is coming along great and look forward to even finer tweaks in the WWII side of DCS. Thanks for coming I guess since I brought this up I will close by saying Fen(Tom) as I once knew you on spits vs 109s a flew with you often hope we can meet in the skies over 11 Sector and engage whatever German aircraft the guys a DCS throw at us...

I will end this by saying TOM, I do not believe I am cherry picking at all either the fuel was used and present or it was not... THAT SIR IS HISTORICAL! By the Documents presented back when we fought to get it in '46 and I do not want to dig all of those out and present here. I was just presenting an Idea that would make an Online WWII campaign, if and when those planes ever get built... Thanks for the time will see you in the skies as I try to develop a campaign over the Channel Map!

Though to keep this Civil: A Great example for a mission is the Supply chain from South Coast England to Normandy. Who gets the good gas could be an awesome dynamic for a campaign fight. Supply convoys of Fuel in the Channel Germans have to slow or stop the flow of 150oct fuel... Visa versa on the trains running MW50 fuel to bases for low level Mossie runs... Just a thought! PS with the expansion of the Normandy map could be cool on the home front Spits dealing with last LW push and V1s. G14 would be great for these battles as well as G6 as you mentioned. Then from Ford and other bases creating tankers bringing much need supplies to the front line bases. Also on that note Guys we could do with a Static Dam for busting!!!! Hey Channel MAP take us to Germany - Operation Chastise!

Fen: "I suggest you go research the squadron ORBs for that period and see just how few encountered any Luftwaffe piloted aircraft... 1 squadron, 64 squadron, 74 Squadron, 234 Squadron or 402 Squadron. I get that the K-4 shouldn't be anywhere near any of the maps we have currently and I'm itching to see a Bf109G-6 late/G-14 myself if just for the chronological consistency, but you must bear in mind that the performance of these will be superior to the G-2 you reference in your report and will still outrun an LF Mk.IX at most altitudes if equipped with MW50, which some would have certainly had during the period" So keeping to the HISTORY is bull crap because the k4 was rare in numbers (The data one could collect on the ME 109 Gustav is overwhelming- According to the release of the K4 is was the modelers choice) and yes they did use 150 across the spectrum in Normandy, many spits from 44 to 45 did during the time during and after the invasion... Sorry Disagree with the MW50 Logistics in late 42 through 43 when the Rhubar, Rodeo missions in 41 which I have plenty of data on when we set up Operation Jubilee Server in Cliff of Dover Blitz/Tobruk and other started to cut the supply... "In addition, you seem to be insinuating - rather naively - that 'cleared to use' means that suddenly every RAF fighter unit in the ETO was suddenly using 150 octane the next day. Check actual ORBs and you'll understand that it took several weeks for the supplies to be allocated, diverted and then delivered." The question is: WAS it delivered you are insinuating that they provided NONE to any spitfire suads in the ARENA! The FUEL of choice in the region for fighter command was 150oct in the data provided. Do you really think that they changed the refinery back to 100/130 once the jump was made, they were using what they had. Of course the supply of that type of gas was prevalent, but once the testing on 25lbs was solved they produced it. " November 1944 Fighter Command was still using 2,000 tons of 150 grade fuel per month. 65 With the adoption of 150 grade fuel by the Second Tactical Air Force (MEANS ALL PLANES IN THE THEATER WHICH SPIT IXs WERE APART), any logistical difficulties to Air Defense of Great Britain (A.D.G.B.) use of 150 grade fuel were removed." The point that I was making is it was being used during the era and the time and is HISTORICAL and the use of it in game and the scripting that could be done for online campaigns or mission building is what I was suggesting... The aspect that the FIGHT we have now is not historical but you sir throw the historical issue in my face... which is laughable. YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! The spitfire in game could be made more HISTORICAL with limits left up to the Designer of the BATTLE that can be played out over a three month server campaign... The reason I was mentioning it was two fold to keep to the history (IT WAS USED BY SPITFIRE PILOTS USED DURING PERIOD and that as a campaign and mission builder gives us some different dynamics to use.

Again Fenrir, 16 Squads and data to boot is plenty to give the mission developers the option... I also fly against many of them online and have flown with you going back on il2 1946 spits vs 109s. Your attitude has change quite a bit and it seems rather arrogant... Sad your not maturing in your old age! Come online fly your 109 and see how bad I am LOLOL!

Another Great Read: https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/s4/f2/dsk2/ftp03/MQ50093.pdf The concept that we are fighting over Normandy and we are engaged with a plane that was least built in the war and it is a 1945 Bird. Again I guess I am taking up the cross on many of us pilots and sim pilots love the game and we are not getting any younger. Especially the ones who enjoy the WWII Genre and this is to DCS hope you think of us when selecting those models to get in the game and the data for planes is really available. Most of the guys I fly with all are 45 to 85 and really enjoy the WWII side of the sim and I know that you are hard at work. Can you give us a Battle of Britain plane set over the AMAZING CHANNEL MAP... We will continue to fly the MKIX against thek4 over the channel but I hope those module builders know that we are retired and would be willing to spend 100 bucks on these planes. hell to get a Stuka non flyable and HE 111, 109E4 flyable with a few variants, and a SpitfireMIa Rotol 87/100oct. , Hurricane MKia Rotol 87/100oct. You would make the Channel map come alive for so many....
