Something i have noticed based on reading the aircrafts manuals and seeing real life videos on the spitfire, the issue regards the mixture controll lever as it is currently it is inccorect, currently to start the engine you must, set the fuel cock, build fuel pressure using either method, prime the engine, open the covers press both at the same time and once the engine begins to splutter or "catch" move the mixture into the "RUN" position from "IDLE CUT-OFF" referencing "Air Ministy Air Publication 1565J, p&l-P.N. September 1946 Pilots notes" (this covers the merlin 61,63,66,70 and 266) it should be done as follows, (PRE-START) set fuel cock ON Ignition (magnitos) switches OFF Throttle 1/2 in.-1in. open RPM lever fully forward Mixture lever (Marked correctly as Idle cut-off lever) Fully Aft Supercharger Auto Carburettor air intake filter control Filter in operation (START) Switch ON the main tanks booster pump for 30 secconds (this is done as both the wobbly fuel pump and booster are mutually exclusive and it is used instead of the wobbly hand pump) Then switch it off (at this point the low fuel pressure light should extinguish) and set the mixture (idle cut-off lever) to the forward RUN position Prime the engine as required based on the outside temps switch on the ignition (magnitos) and press the starter and booster coil pushbuttons when the engine fires release the starter button; keep the booster could button depressed until the engine is running smoothly the issue is, that this is not possible in DCS you can only start the engine with the mixture aft then wait untill the engine "catches" and move the mixture to run, as you can see in the manual this is inccorect you can also find videos for the real thing starting up in the manner described in the manual and not how it works in DCS, this is something that has bugged me for a long time, and i could not find a report on it so i thought id make one. I own a phisical copy of this manual can have a digital vertion i can send if you need it both are identical i can also provide a video if you wish regards minty

Hi there guys. New to this and bad with computers so I am asking for some help. I am wanting to fly My Mirage 2000c, In DCS. I get into the aircraft and about 30 seconds later after using the quick start or auto start it will crash. Now I have managed to find out that in the last update there was an issue with this and there is a file out there now to correct it. The file is a Mod folder but within it there is a aircraft, then cockpit, So I downloaded that file and put it to my desktop. My question is do I put the folder into Mods or do I need to open and put each folder into its place. Any step by step instructions would be appreciated as I would love to fly this Mirage again soon. When I downloaded the fix it did not come with anything except you would need those files for the fix. So if you could help me out with basic instructions for a guy who isn't very good at this it would be greatly appreciated The fix I found was here in the dcs forums if that helps Thanks in Advance CaptainRamrod1 Wayne

Ladies and Gents I have a weird experience made... After installing some Liveries the sim stopt at 45% loading. Of course deinstalled immediately any new files but a message comes up, but the sim closes so fast thatyou cannot read the message... one word I got out of it was DXDIAG. I have run it but no joy, all seems ok. So I deleted the metashaders and FXO, made a repair, a clean up etc etc (playing DCS for several years now) But still no joy. And the best was... The stable version on the same PC but on another drive starts up, and when the loading bar shouls come... black screen nothing happend. I am completely lost, WIN10 is updated as well the Graphic driver. Both logs are attached. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Mutz Spec: Normally this should be enough to run DCS max with 60 FPS and this was the case before. Intel i9 9900K Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti 16 MB Ram Dcs stable.log openbeta dcs.log
