yes they are, but especially some planes i hate that cockpit view taking up most of my screen, and switch it off with Alt-F1.

Been messing around with it, and now bought the license in the sale. Still it seems the trim functions do not work as with some other planes it seems. Can it be that you need to turnoff autorudder for trimming?

Any update coming? I tried it, looks interesting, but complicated ..

Just loaded the B17 template in photoshop .. all info on the layers is in Russianspeak LoL

Thnx, so no 3rd party stuff, i found these a while back, but miss a few regarding ww2 planes. Regarding the default skins, where do you choose them, only within the .miz files in the editor, and where's their location?

Y'all made i couldn't resist, tried the A8 again and bought it ..

Thanks all, will check it out ..

Thnx, Acer Predator 3840x2160 with a 3080ti Aorus NVDIA card. BTW it's only the game's view in perspective i was talking about, not the general size.

There's no liveries folder in my Saved games\ DCS.OpenBeta folder. 1) i'd like to change that awful Miami Beach parasol look of some default Christen Eagle, and found skins in ... \DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Textures. but what's it called there if it's there anyway. Not CE2. Neither in ....\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries neither? The name of it, what should i look for, not CE2 it seems. 2) BTW the general Saved Games folder, can you put it somewhere else? Too many windows crashes later in don't trust that location LoL. 3) It seems all skins are 2k, not 4k as with IL2 ... ? 4) is there any site location where you can find Photoshop templates for skinning with DCS?

Yep found that too. But i meant the unnatural looks of my flying neighbors on a high res monitor. I adapted slow zoom in-out to two button on my Warthog joystick, the slider on my throttle i prefer for something else as axis for mixture etc. What i meant: In IL2 other planes look normal in lenghth and not 'over stretched' as in DCS. Probably DCS is meant for normal scaled monitors only, and that resolution adapted only to keep high res owners happy. Hopefully a fix in v 3.0.00 when it comes?

I found that in IL2 with the FW190a3, but the a8 hard to handle in DCS; the Dora i prefer for DCS.

I use a 4k 3840x2160 monitor. Also set to that in DCS. In general the planes you meet look really weird. B17s and wingmen you meet appear quite stretched out in F1 cockpit view. Also the planes you chase are very very small unless you crawl right up to it's ass ... Any tuning possible? IMO IL2 great battles got that quite better worked out.

I found with WW2 planes you almost always have to set Autorudder to on .... and indeed spend time on tuning the axis curves ..

Trackhat Opentrack system v2; still testing & tuning it, but it seems it will be my fav, no head thing needed. Installation difficulties were due windows, you got to activate latter in privacy settings. Piece of cake to install it. TrackIR5 i used until now, especially with IL2 FC and seems to have more tuning and view options to fiddle with, but the system 2 i have not figured out taht much yet. Before that i had the Trackhat v1, was slightly more difficult to tune right. Might sell both track hat v1 and my thackIR5 LoL. Get rid of all the dead USB drivers uninstalling them with USBdeview ..

Just looked at the general NS 430 Navigation System. Don't really get what it's useful for in gameplay ... is it any use for ww2 planes? This as I am frustrated with the small font used in the Info bar as i want to see airspeed and height more clearly on a 4 k monitor.

Well, i tried, tried and then tried the Dora .. bought it immediately, easy peasy going compared to the a8, and behold, much better view from the cockpit ...

Can you adjust the height of a pilot's head position, say for about 20cm higher? In this K4, and also the FW190a8 (the Dora seems OK) it feels like you are an Irish Leprechaun, and need a thick pillow underneath your ass. F.i. in IL2 Great Battles you can do that by delete a snapview in a luascripts folder, set your position and save with F10, especially useful with ww1 planes.

I am lazy, set autorudder on, and the a8 seems to behave, the problem i have still is how to get it up to speed properly.

So tough sjait but good fun LoL PS which axis plane is 'better' and for what, K4, A8 or Dora?

I got a message from a DCS tech; 500 is a system clock fault; in my case i installed a new MB BIOS, and the clock was 15 minutes off. Set time correcly in the BIOS, fixed.

Thanks, just looked at that nice manual ... for me all warthog settings are totally different than i got used to by now, not only with other DCS planes i fiddled around with. Pfff, must do me some thinking about those mentioned p47 essentials accordingly ...

Well, got a p47 loaded with rockets ... but how do you fire them; i set a button on my warthog stick do dual salvo, nada.

Yep, that i found, but i find it hard to get this monster to acquire warp-speed, thnx

Well, it's complicated, this p47. Don't have the time to figure it out properly. Any tips on how to simplify Engine power for just game sports? For now I tried this p47, but it looks like too much specified button pushing for me. Don't think i will buy it.

I used the default instant action (FW A8 airfield attack) as being quite useful for bomb practicing with the ships along the shore. Now is there a trick for bomb aiming as there seems no bombing assist tool. I keep missing, only once i hit something. Good sport BTW for flying practice. Is that bomb fusing diving selector always needed? OV and or MV? Can you set them to auto somewhere?
