Question - Fw 190 Progress Update?

[Witchking]

It will be nice to see eras like the cold war/post cold war etc. Would be nice to see gripen, eurofighter, flankers, fulcrums and eagles in combat. :)

I'm not an expert but I think the FW-190 was quite "automatic" for its time. Rather than screwing around with a bunch of seperate buttons and knobs to control your propeller pitch, throttle, boost levels, mixture, and such (like you would on American aircraft) you have the throttle to control all of that for you. So I guess it's like operating a jet in that the logic is "push throttle to go faster." If you're lacking for axis on your control setup, might be better to go with the FW-190 than, say, the P-47D which has you managing tons of seperate parts that control your engine and propeller.

 

I prefer the Mustang solution; the constant-speed prop and auto-mixture means you really only have one lever to worry about in combat, but you can manually set prop rpm to either an efficiency setting or a combat acceleration setting; the German systems tried to do both simultaneously. I seem to recall German pilots complaining that the system was imprecise and prone to somewhat erratic behavior, too.

In theory that should be simple ("Simple " as in "Soon " ;o)

 

Just a startup parameter for DCS.exe that starts DCSW with a different GUI theme and switches to a different Saved Games subfolder. Perhaps also applying some sort of filter to only show appropriate theatres/maps and units in the mission editor (which we could ... well, certainly will ... mod out of the installation - so we can use all units everywhere :D)

Make it even more simple and put it in the same saved games folder. I don't need the filter either, it's easy enough to sort things out in the ME.

 

I don't mind if what you suggested are made options of course but I certainly don't want them forced on us if it can be avoided.

Thanks for your replies, Zakatak and Sithspawn

 

 

 

It's an independent addon, just like the P-51D.

 

Does this mean DCS WWII is going to be integrated into DCS World instead of getting its own install?

 

Flankers and F-15's in 1944! :megalol:

[Krupi]

Apparently the D-9 doesnt have manual pitch control, what I can find seems to verify that, if anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to send it to me. Personally I am ok with that, being lazy and all :)

 

I am busy burying my nose everywhere to find out and I am coming up blank :noexpression:

 

I think I might be incorrect :doh:

I think we most likely can. :p Thats the freedom we have right now. Mustang against flankers and eagles. ;)

Maybe the FW190A8 manual might be usefull.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wseicvcwi7j4fuv/fw190a8.pdf

I think for the D-9 it wont help. Not in this case anyways.

That two months is going to seem like two years!!

 

Will this be a Beta release in August? It doesn't mention it.

[Pizzicato]

If we're lucky, that wait might be eased by the arrival of the F-86, Mig-21, Hawk and/or EDGE in the meantime.

 

I can dream, right? :pilotfly: :joystick:

[Chivas]

It appears the 190 trailer is using the EDGE graphic engine. I wonder if EDGE will be released about the same time as the 190?

They already announced that the F-86 would be released in July. I hope Edge is also released in July or next week even.

 

I can dream just like you, but I can't see Edge been to far away now. Makes no sense to have all these nice aircraft flying about in a not so good environment.

[Witchking]

Definitely...i don't see edge being held back too much longer. I am more excited for that than the prop planes.... but give me the pfm flanker. ;)

[Isegrim]

Poor *Dora* still uses the Merlin sound.

[Cibit]

Nice plane hope I can remember how to fly things with wings and propellers;)

[Grim_Smiles]

Hmmm, I thought the engine sounded familar. Let's just hope it was post work for the video or just an ED place holder, and not the final sound. But I'm sure if we ask nicely Diveplane will give us a correct engine sound:D

[NineLine]

It might be post work, I dont think the Dora uses the Merlin sounds that I am aware of.

NHF, but I've yet to hear a merlin in DCS.

It wasn't added in post, it was from the sim. WIP i'm guessing.

More than likely...
