DCS Bf 109K-4

[Maler]

regarding the pilot and oxygen mask...its hard to say from those pics, but it seems as this pilot is also wearing a german uniform?

yes

 

sure with custom skins, swastikas can be added...but in dcs its even simpler if you insist on a swastika, then just add a "s" to one of the files of the skin and thats it...

 

In K4 technology has changed a bit with a swastika. Now it is a separate texture. Enabled or disabled in the description.

Yep David, I think our perception is sharpest when it comes to reading faces, it's where we're the hardest to fool. Goggles and mask are an intelligent (and historically accurate) way to maneuver arround that difficulty in simulation.

very true, ive not thought about this aspect! very clever indeed

interesting, what else do you know more than us Maler?

 

 

EDIT: btw, if someone has any knowledge about K4s used in Austria during 44-45, then please share your knowledge:

Thx, Roadrunner, but need only captured k4

 

Useful link, thanks

[Roadrunner]

sorry then :( cant find k-4 photos, although there are some interesting paint schemes out there.

 

 

anyway, anybody wants to sleep until the release? maybe like the guy below? ;)

 

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

[Highfox]

So, anybody willing to teach me how to fly this once we get the release?

Think I'll do that.

why it is good idea to toggle on/off the visibility of flare gun? because for people not using trackir or any other similar hw it makes spotting the gauges little bit harder (and the same applies to stick/throttle).

 

Btw and maybe because pilots had the flare gun attached to their flying suits (who knows):

[SlipBall]

I doubt that many pilots left the gun there that blocks the view...I would have worn it on my body, down by my ankle as seen above

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

@Nevo

yes if you read back a couple of pages you will see that i am also of the opinion that we should be able to toggle off the flare gun...why?because pilots could do so in RL as well...and as you pointed out, it covers important gauges,levers.

 

but stick and throttle dont really cover any gauges and were probably not attached to the pilots suits...or who knows? :)

[Kurfürst]

Probably too late to change anyway.

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

^^its never too late! everything is subject to change isnt always a bad thing :)

[SlipBall]

Hotfix!!

[MiloMorai]

When there is no ammo left the pilot could take pot shots at enemy a/c out the flare chute with his Walther P-38 or Luger.

[313_Nevo]

David, maybe in 109 they dont cover anything, but in P51 for example throttle does. but this is not discussion for 109 thread.. o.... over and out (see you in wish list) ;)

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

^^yes P51's throttle covers quite an important gauge...but even trackir doesnt help in that case :) its just what it is and also a RL pilot has to live with that fact/disadvantage i suppose.

[NineLine]

Probably too late to change anyway.

 

Maybe for the release, but could be fixed later. I didnt get a chance to check it out last night, hoping to tonight.
