  1. Win10 updates from the 26th and 27th have killed WMR on my machine. Tried removing updates, reinstalled WMR, which will not work. I was hoping to get to November before losing it, I can't just run out and get a new headset or machine right now.
  2. The flickering and reflections in the canopy are bad but don't forget the panels forward of the bow and how flying away from the sun causes a loss of vision as the panes turn to screens of milk. Can't even see the target at times.
  3. Why has the moon grown to approximately three times the size of the sun in the last two updates? The moon has the apparent size of the sun viewed from earth. Have you watched an eclipse? Even Supermoons will only at most 14% larger than normal.
  4. Flickering still after todays update.
  5. It would be great if we could see contrails without having to zoom in. Generally from the ground I can spot them outside my house without any aids at distances 30-70 miles, verified with Flightradar24.
  6. For the test switch to work the a/c must be higher than 3000 ft. There seems to be a slight delay between pressing the switch and the lamp coming on. Very seldom can my ears pick up the ringing sound but I hope it comes on at the same time.,
  7. Oil dilution, this a process where gasoline is added to the oil prior to the aircraft being shut down. There was no 10w-50 oil as we have today and simply adding a few squirts of gas prior to starting is not going to dilute 21 gal or more of 50 weight oil enough for a cold weather start. To be realistic you would have the ground crew start the engine long before the mission. If you wanted to do it correctly? Researching this for the P-51 last year I found this under ""landing": Page 27 of Army Manual AN 01-60JE-1 for the P-51D-5, stopping engine: "(2) If a cold weather start is anticipated, hold oil dilution switch, on pilot's switch panel, "ON" (2 minutes maximum)."
  8. I have had airspeed go bonkers in the 109 with pitot heat on several times. No trk's though.
  9. 50 cal will stop a locomotive and take care of the other cars as well.
  10. I don't have any TO's but I have managed to keep this for 58 years. About 25 pages of info. Pick up the folder ASG-19 FCS from my dropbox. I'll leave it open for a month or so. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/26o5u2xxkhymwtr/AAB0g5gx3E36HIqY01gR1ITYa?dl=0
  11. Check this thread for the answer:
  12. Beta version of DCS would probably show more servers.
  13. Chuck, I don't know how often you come here, seems the only place I can contact you. Here is the URL for 4YA Discord, enjoy the event!
