As someone who is regularly shot down when flying in a Warbird, it seems unrealistic that the parachute immediately deploys when I bail out. Pity that automatic deployment of the parachute cannot be disabled. It would be more realistic for the pilot to have to deploy their parachute after free falling for some distance. The rate of decent in game in a parachute appears to be about 280 meters per minute which is reasonably accurate given a mass of 80 kilograms and a canopy area of about 80 square meters. The same pilot free falling will decent at about 1800 meters per minute as their canopy area is about a meter square. An in-game pilot bailing out at high altitude (say 8000 meters as happened on my last sortie) would expire due to oxygen starvation if their rate of decent was only 280 meters per minute. Just my view on a way to improve DCS Warbirds experience.

Vaicom works with Multi PTT on A-10C. Running 2.7 stable. It is not working on single PTT aircraft. Specifically in my case: UH-1h, Spitfire, and P-51. The LCD displays all info correctly. Easy comm on / off no difference. MAP single / norm no difference. Observed, that when PTT initiated, "Listening Resumed" logs followed immediately by "Listening Suspended" in VA. The Vaicom PTT page shows the "TX1" illuminate, immediately goes off, and "RLY" illuminates until release the PTT. Have only flown single player. Never used the chat. Any solutions?

To begin, recent dog fight in Spitfire with FW's resulted in me getting shot. Was amazing to hear my heart pounding and groaning into O2 mask. Looked around cockpit but didn't see any blood. Forgot to "show pilot", maybe was there. Anyway - major kudos to DCS for this level of sound simulation. Now my problem is can barely hear the G breathing. Know the sound level is okay per the above comment. Running 2.7. Mainly warbirds. What changed and how do I fix it?

Below shows a Fw 190 missing right aileron, damaged left aileron, rudder significantly damaged, bullet holes thru the cockpit and canopy side-to-side of pilot, and engine smoking. It's also flying perfectly straight and level. It would not be a rare event to find such an aircraft suddenly on your tail and shoot you down. Even had them with the one gear hanging down do this. In such condition you would expect them to be out of the fight because of control issues if nothing else. These will also continue flying straight until engine quits and crash lands - but never showing as a kill. I don't know how many bullets of what type did this amount of damage - as Hits are not detailed in the debrief as with Modern. How many people would want to keep flying the Modern AC if your missile could take off a wing but it could still fly and take you out? When do the Warbirds get some love - and realism? DCS is an outstanding flight sim. However, it is also a battle sim. Loosing interest fighting zombies. What's the point!

Over a year ago, Debriefing hit details would show ammo type and quantity. This had stopped and I was hoping that with 2.7.2 and Damage Model improvements this detail would return. No joy. As can be seen in the graphics below. Warbirds as Targets show no hit details. Warbirds shooting Modern do show hit details. Can the Warbirds get some love? We spend a lot of time flying in realistic aircraft dogfighting with little visual results. We need feedback to keep the sim interesting. Modern easily see results of a missile strike. The bottom graphic would currently show only 4 hits on a warbird when the actual hit count is Ball (12), AP (19), API (9), APIT (9) = 49 Cal 50 hits. Additionally, would be nice to have battle damage info on target aircraft of at least major group such as right engine, pilot killed, etc. No Hit Details: P-51 shooting Ju 88 Hit Details: Spitfire shooting KC-130 Hit Details: P-51 shooting KC-130 Testing showed that No Hit data when target is Warbird, even when shot by a modern. Modern always show hits. Nation did not effect. Test Data: Shooter Receiver Nation Hit Details P-51D Spitfire UK No P-51D P-47 UK No P-51D Ju 88 Germany No P-51D Bf 109 Germany No P-51D P-51D USA No Fw 190 P-51D USA No Fw 190 A-20G USA No Fw 190 Spitfire UK No A-10C A-20G USA No A-10C B-17 USA No A-10C Bf 109 Germany No P-51D AN-30M Russia Yes P-51D C-130 USA Yes Fw 190 C-130 USA Yes Fw 190 AN-26 Russia Yes A-10C AN-30M Russia Yes

I propose that someone considers developing an opponent for the I-16. Something like maybe early Bf-109 Emil (E-variant) or some other early war allied or axis plane. I think the only reason people are not into early birds is the lack of competitive aircraft for it. The Bf-109K-4 for example has no equal opponent to fight in all honesty. I hope ED realizes this and does something to not only bridge the gap between their Sabre and modern aircraft, but to also add earlier warbirds such as these. I will give some examples... Bf-109B Bf-109E (Perfect for Channel map) He-112 Hurricane (Perfect for Channel map) Spitfire Mk I ? F2A Buffalo (Winter war) Ki-27 (Soviet/Sino-Japanese war) A5M4 (Soviet/Sino-Japanese war)

All in title. I don't understand their function, purpose. Editing the frequency changes sometimes the second pre-set channel and sometimes changes the first pre-set channel. Only for planes with pre-set channels, Warbirds and F-86. -
Hello DCS Players, My Names Moose and my friends and i have been working on a little project we call ALLIED COMMAND. Basically we mixed Board Game rules into DCS using it as the board / battlefield for WWII Assets. Here is a Little Trailer Video we have produced to show a bit about what it is. A rules sheet has been developed. SYNOPSIS: Players are given a map (Caucasus) doctored up to look like Europe (This map was selected to the bar for entry would be low). Players are given army groups of different types which they must decide where to deploy on the map. Much like Axis and Allies. Once the battlefield has been determined the mission is created and the battle will be fought. Once the outcome has been decided then the post battle assessment is done and the next turn is started. Here is a link to the video. ALLIED COMMAND VIDEO Here is the link to the SILVER BEARDS Discord for if you have any questions or would like to get involved in the Mission. https://discord.gg/Xzkq2PXV We intend for these missions to be conducted in a Mil-Sim environment where we create flights of WWII aircraft and reach out to destroy the enemy armies on the ground before they can destroy ours. PVE at first. 2 - Lives limit exist for each player per battle played. (Meaning if you do not successfully punch-out or belly land 2x) you will become a spectator for the remainder of the round. Best of luck flying and hope to see some of your inquiries.
