I was gonna start the campaign, but my wingman crashed into me on the runway. I restarted the mission but my wingman crashed into something else and blocked the runway for the rest of my flight - I flew the mission anyway and the big dogfight happened over an unfinished part of the map where the ground was not textured. Do you have an ETA on the fix? Or do you wait until the map is finished? I understand it can be very tedious having to test all the content, because the map gets updated.

Did you properly test the AB variants? The last info I have is that they got released by accident and have little to no effect.

You are too modest ;)

As of now only the SC 250 is available and working as intended.

Thanks for the mission! Played it yesterday and had fun flying it. I did have problems understanding the voice-coms though, so if you could provice subtitles, that would help me. Otherwise keep up the good work and thank you for your effort :)

Solution: Make it 12 Antons vs 6 Mustangs. :-) The version of the Anton we have at the moment is strictly inferior to its allied counterparts. The RLM was of the same opinion so the version we have in the game right now was only produced for ~3-4 months, but was the version in service during D-Day.

Yes, this needs to be centered on the pilot seat and not on any sights or instruments.

Because? :)

This. It feels like there is still a lot of stuff missing from the module and we have no clue what is still missing, what is being worked on (if anything) and in what order they will add the missing features. Last patch we got some non-functional cluster bombs which was a ray of hope but also confusing, because as a normal user I am wondering why they dont just port working features from the D-9 as a first step, like the SC 500 & rockets.

Given the current sad state of the A8, I can't see how it could possibly be unfair. Unrealistic -> yes, but not unfair.

Same thing is true for getting 9 women so your child will be born in one month. ;-)

This has always been the case for me in VR in this game. IL-2 has found a nice solution to this problem. They will always keep your head inside the cockpit and make you unable to move it beyond the canopy if it is closed. If it is open you can stick head out just fine, which is nice for taxiing.

Ich würde erstmal die SU-25T spielen und DCS an sich etwas besser kennenlernen. Ich bin auch noch relativ neu und habe auf die Weise ins Spiel gefunden und trotzdem noch jede Menge geflucht beim lernen der F-14 ;-)

Yes, they had either additional fuel (C3) injection or increased manifold pressure. Both systems were called "erhöhte Notleitung" and activated by the pilot by pressing a button as described here: https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.com/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/m/Motoren/BMW/Leistungssteigerung/BMW%20801%20D%20Leistungssteigerung.html Additional fuel (C3) injection was used to get the plane airborne when carrying heavy bombloads. Increased manifold pressure (erhöhter Ladedruck) and was used in the dog fighting variants.

I was refering to the A8, which was built in 44-45 when focus shifted to defence of towns and industry against the bomber formations.

My original research was based mostly on wikipedia. Now that I dive a little deeper into the matter, I find you are actually right about the MW-50. But the emergency power would still be nice to have. I just ordered this https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/0816805687/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So I will deliver a better researched wishlist to make this bird more fun to fly. ;)

All A8 were fitted with an additional 115l tank behind the pilot seat. To make this possible some other parts had to be moved around. This modification is what is charactistic of the A8. This tank was afaik either filled with MW-50 or additional fuel for increased emergency power. "Starting from July 1944 all Fw 190 A-8 aircraft will be equipped with "increased emergency". By overridding the supercharger boost regulator, boost pressures are increased at take-off and emergency power in low supercharger setting from 1,42 ata to 1,58 ata and at the high supercharger setting from 1,42 to 1,65 ata." You could switch to increased emergency by pressing a button on the front instrument panel. That power boost would last for about 10 minutes.

Yes, the model is very nice. But playing it at the moment, it feels like a "castrate" with core features like MW-50 and proper weapon loadouts missing. Like wtf are you gonna with it? :joystick:

It's a sad affair. The A8 feels half way finished and instead of adding the possiblites to carry 500kg bombs or rockets (which shouldnt be hard at all, since they r alrdy present in the game), ED rather nerfs the ammo loadout. I wouldn't buy the A8 in it's current state.

I'd love to do some German parts, if you still need assistance :)

Amen.

Not sure if you would consider that an EasterEgg, but if you fly really close to the commander in the first mission, you will get a voice line you dont otherwise get. Not sure if there are more of those ;-)

I am still looking for an option the center the mouse-pointer. Otherwise when I am using the mouse when operating the map or some other mouse task, I will forget to center it for use with my headset and have to search my mouse again.

I hotkey that turns the camera 180° while pressed, should already help alot *wink ED* :)

I already checked that guide and installed new shaders etc as recommended. I do have all settings pretty much maxed tho. Since the bombers are not really relevant for the player, I thought like maybe 20 of them would totally be enough, so I could dogfight ze Germans and still maintain high fps.
