Meanwhile back at the station i got a lot further with my Mosquito controls. Generally i find the gaming interface far too complicated like in overdone (the same with most helicopters i got licensed). Some essentials for sheer gameplay i miss, there's no autopilot function, maybe historically correct, but it forces one to manually keep control, boring with long channel crossings. IMO the Mosquito in IL2 is far better as for gaming: got quite used to that one.

Funny is with my AVA the very mediocre manual shows that F/A-18 stick on the pictures. My ava is about 3 months old, use it with the common (viper?) stick ... just set it up with the M gumball plate instead of the vanilla mounted XL. Seems quite better, only that annoying wobbly oscillating behavior remains when you let the stick return to it's neutral position. Filed a complaint with TM.

Been always sh*t with windows as they keep messing around too much. Windows 11 is worse it seems than 10 at that user-friendly -mess. Wonder if Linux and DCS work together for a more stable setup.

Spontaneous, not always ... but haven't had it since turning off the above. Sometimes it seems to help to clear the fxo folder in saved games, but mostly with stutters, this after a second game start without re-boot. Maybe remove all MODS and do a full repair? I have windows 10 LTSC 21H2, i9 14900k, and 64 GB DDR5. Latest NVIDIA driver is 566.36.

Tip from a friend: go to PC settings, system, display, Graphics settings .... for DCS turn off 'Hardware accelerated GPU scaling', (looks different in windows 11), fixed it !

thnx, will try that ... found these scripts addressed in ... Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\ .... in the file config.lua. Correct? Seems in the game easy flight for the Mosquito separately in the options-gameplay is called Simplified Flight mode? Swithched it off and have lift off !

thnkx, sounds interesting, but i have no microphone, (no audio drivers that i use as well, as i am quite deaf) but i do have a Streamdeck XL. Must dive in to that, but getting around in the needed quaggles puts me off a little. Also get me a cheapo microphone ...

Hi Razo, thnks for looking. Tailwheel behavior in Chuck's manual: Track (modded original for runway start): https://www.mediafire.com/file/yc3x3atmkliotnu/Operation_Jericho_Hard2v25.miz.trk/file

Well, again i got the Mosquito controllers (newly) setup. Operation Jericho v25, thanks Terry, now loaded, uses the Channel Map. Seems fine, but i cannot get lift off; around 200 Km/h on the runway, pitch full aft, shows OK in F4 chase view, but the darn thing wont get off the ground. On the controller page it seems to work OK for pitch. BTW, there seem to be no game mode or avionics to switch off or on any more. Tail-wheel lock seems also not obeying full AFT as according to chucks manual. Ground looping for ever. Tried another mission, airstart, seems something's wrong with pitch as well. I did a full repair. Presumably also a (new) bug ?

Just figured out you'll have to press F first to unlock the flaps down lever set on my Warthog Throttle for Flaps.

I also found i needed to load them into the current Editor and do a save first; DCS staggered and even black screened. Maybe something else could be the problem? Just installed the latest NVIDIA driver ... ADDED:

Thanks Terry! The ZIP files need to be renamed to .MIZ, to install them.

Hi, new to this. I downloaded several airfield assets setups for WW2 airfields as MIZ files. How do you imports them in a different existing mission? Grouping possible? Copy-Paste?

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319019/ Has only a PDF with in it dead google drive links. Has anyone got the v25 actual MIZ files ?

Where is this input folder? the only i found are per aircraft, and i got a lot of them by now ... and whats in them is just a joystick and keyboard sub-folder with only a default.lua. The other input folder is in ..... Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\ and then the planes. Are those the defaults? The names are the ones appearing in the game controls top bar. are those including the the edits i made and used in the game? As the edits i made however are in ................Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\InputUserProfiles

HI. Could use some tips or example profiles for the Mosquito, and could not find any 3rd party ones so far. I have a TM warthog and Crosswinds setup. Especially a decent weapon setup fails me to get right. Bomb doors, where are they BTW.

Found Strafing there, thanks

Just started with the mission editor, and i want to attack this wall on the normandy map. How do you set up this spot for a precision bombing job with a ww2 plane? I could not find any ground attack waypoint, only fly over and landing types. PS Youtube videos are for me a nono, as i am quite deaf.

Thnks, also discovered 1 nav, and yes, just 6 & 7 for attack type modes.

The A-10a; i tried setting it up for my TM Warthog units. One would sat that that should be a piece of cake. But i cannot get the fire buttons to work with my TM warthog stick (now with the AVA base), nor drop bombs or launch rockets .. is there some safety switch hidden somewhere? Other tips?

Just got enlightened on the IL2 forum: these TjMAX temps are about the headroom towards the max temp, what matters is the Core Temp below, here under 30m heavy load running IL2 sturmovik:

Added, tested the 109 again yesterday extensively. With the new spotting it still seems quite hard to hit a p51 in a dog fight situation. I can't .... Guess WW2 in DCS is not as well developed compared to the more modern jet planes. In IL2 great battles it's a lot more gaming fun, but that might be due the specialism in regards to WW2 planes.

Thanks a lot AGAIN!; you made me search for the Fieseler again and found this collection, WOW, now to figure out the valuable WW2 ones: Happy days & wishes for now, 2025, and hopefully ever after!

I could not find a bottle containing enough ant-insect spray to clean my car's window ... :

Yep, just figured that out. Only seems that mod makers are not always that clear on matters. Example Hakeye60-s Fieseler-Storch mod seems to need an installation in the main game folder, guess due suggested by the foldering names not preset in ....\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods If installed there it does not work.. So i guess one must use JSGME or OvGME. latter stiil seems complicated to set up right. Guess i'll have to make 2 separate mod source folders for OvGME, one for ...Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods, and one for the .. DCS World OpenBeta\Mods folder.
