12/16/22 Preface: In this Friday's OpenBeta update, the easy coding fixes have been added for the P-51, 190s, Spitfire, 109, and 47. However, the Mosquito has been missed. Additionally, the armor plates that are missing from DCS entirely haven't yet been included. Items that were fixed in the 12/16 OpenBeta update will be highlighted in green, and marked with the update date. TL;DR: Many warbirds have incorrect armor values, or are missing armor. If you open the x-ray.edm in the Modelviewer, and the individual aircraft's Lua, you can see the IDs from the Modelviewer and see what those objects' properties are. Please click on the photos here, as while I've minimized them in this post so it doesn't get cluttered, but if you click on them you will see them in better resolution. The P-51D (INCORRECT): [FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]The headrest and seat back armor (aka XArmor01 and XArmor00) - If we open Aircorps Library and look at the drawings for the late P-51D, like ours, we will see that these are two pieces of armor welded together. The headrest being 7/16", or 11mm...and the seat back being 5/16", or 8mm thick. Meanwhile in DCS, it is given a thickness of 22mm! For both plates! Almost three times the value of most of the area of the armor. I have an idea on how this value came to be, but I'll drop it into the spoiler below: [FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]The armored glass (aka XArmor02) - In DCS, it is given a thickness of 75mm. Using the schematics from Aircorps Library, we can again see that it is 1.5" thick, or 38mm. [FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]The instrument panel (aka XCockpitElement02) - In DCS, this is given a thickness of just 1mm! In truth, the instrument panel is a part that's for once, thicker in truth, coming out to 0.128", or 3.25mm. [FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]The firewall (aka XArmor03) - This is given a value of 12mm in DCS, or just a scratch under 1/2". For our 51D, it appears that a more possible value would've been 1/4", or 6.35mm. The P-51D (MISSING): The coolant header tank armor - This is a piece of armor that has been missing from the Mustang's damage model. It is 1/4" thick, or 6.35mm, and lies just forward of the coolant header tank within the engine nacelle, between the coolant header tank and the spinner. In summary for the P-51: -[FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]Change XArmor00 from 0.022 to 0.008 -[FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]Change XArmor01 from 0.022 to 0.011 -[FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]Change XArmor02 from 0.075 to 0.038 -[FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]Change XArmor03 from 0.012 to 0.00635 -[FIXED: DEC 16, 2022]Change XCockpitElement02 from 0.001 to 0.00325 -Add coolant header tank armor. Steel, 0.00635

I hate to break it to ya'll, but it's actually called an Me 109 not a Bf 109! And here's why in detail:

For quite some time now, it's been widely noted by the WWII community that aircraft when shot will sometimes duplicate an entire tail piece (sometimes multiple times but that's less frequently observed). It appears very possible that this is linked to DCS attempting to model the detachment of the entire rudder. For instance, with the 190A8: When the rudder is detached, it spawns the object "...oblomok_tail" This is that "...oblomok_tail" for the Anton: Same for the 109K4: Of note with this screenshot, the damage arguments do not match that of the actual 109 itself. This tail in this screenshot can be recreated with these arguments For a detached rudder, these are the arguments needed for a coherent rudder detachment animation This appearance of a regrowing tail has also been observed with the Spitfire, Dora, P-47, and I believe the P-51.

Ciao Ragazzi, Sto in questi giorni iniziando a volare con il 190D ed il 109. Ho visto che è presente una specie di VOR/DME, ma non ho capito esattamente come configurarlo. Ho visto che nel ME è presente un'impostazione per l'AFN-2. Esattamente, che frequenza devo inserire? La frequenza della torre andrebbe bene, ma escludo sia quella. Una volta inserita e fatta partire la missione, tecnicamente basta mettere su ABST l'interruttore della radio, ma su che canale devo mettere lo switch? Devo ammettere che questi aerei sono davvero affascinanti... Grazie! Snakeice Piccolo OT: Qualcuno sa indicarmi un server multiplayer su Caucaso/Gulf/Syria che abbia i warbird? Grazie!
