Now tried, NADA, autorudder on or off. Axis nor keyboard Does not work, and now i begin to think it has to do with my windows version and or keyboard vs axis; i have Win10 x64 LTSC (Enterprise). Some restrictions vs games. Like in the office gaming is not allowed LoL. Added: I installed DCS on a windows 11 pro sytem ... alas the same .. Some thinking out loud: where are the controller lua scripts stored normally? I use to save them in a separate folder besides my DCS installation, as they all have extensive editing done.. The game loads and save them there OK, but i also found SOME input related lua stuff (with no .dff in the extension so general?) in a user config folder on my boot drive, with a general name and ID number (some warthog related) named per plane and divided under sub folders names joystick, keyboard, mouse and trackir. Looked at them and it looks like they contain only SOME changes of my edited versions i saved elsewhere. Funny thing is that the helicopters i bought 2 years ago are not present there. They are active in the game. And then they appeared automatically after i started a default mission with the UH1H ...

I tried that, nada. Guess i need better hardware with more buttons than a Warthog set has to offer .. don't need trimming that often. Can it be that it's a general bug in DCS? Related to windows settings and keyboards?

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
