Daywalker63 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Hi ED and DCS love the Sims you guys have developed . I'm sure you have heard about the complaints about the P51 in DCS. not sure why it falls short of the real aircraft but I found a WW II training video on the transitioning and flight controls of the P51 that could help. (stall,Climb rate). Also the Damage model needs a looked. US WW II aircraft used Armor Piercing (AP) and high Explosive (HE) rounds in their Machine Guns... just a thought but check out the video. :book::joystick::pilotfly: Daywalker63

Also, main stay amunition for 1944 US P-51D was API and APIT. I have never heard about HE amunition for 12,7mm M2 .50cal MG from 1944 period. Also, P-51B is not P-51D. Still I find doing those maneuvers as presented in the film is quite similar in game. It is surely the best FM from DCS.

Solty Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Actually, a 50cal HE round was field tested but did not find favor. But it did exist Hmmm good to know, do you have any data? I'd like to see the explosive filler content and how compares to MG131. Still, main and most beloved ammunition of USAAF and used most P-51s were API and APIT. I wish we could switch between tracers or non tracers in game. :cry:. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

WildBillKelsoe Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 You can, just run the sim at 0.13x and count every bullet. After every fifth bullet, would be one tracer. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

The ones we have now are very hard to see at certain angles and distances. In short, they dont look anything like tracers and I find them very hard to use. The tracers in the ultra grainy ww2 gun cams show up better than the ones in DCS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Weed Be gone Needed
sobek Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Please keep on topic guys, this is the bug report section. If you want the tracers to look different, post in the whishlist. This thread is about a percieved (but yet undocumented) flight model issue. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
