What will be the first thing you do in the spitfire?

[Krupi]

Not holding my breath on this one anymore, these forums were a little premature ;)

 

It's been moved from "mid-2016" to "late 2016" so there might still be a long way.

 

! Where did you read that :cry:

Updated roadmap :(

 

Modules

+ Spitfire Mark IXc LF (in progress) (Late 2016)

 

(was mid-2016 before, it's never easy to estimate such work of course)

 

 

Another way to see this: the Normandy map will be closer to early release/completion/whenever we can grab it ;)

Crash while trying to takeoff like I always do with the Dora

[BravoFoxTrt]

Learn the Spit and and maybe fly some Rhubarb Missions. :-)

[WildBillKelsoe]

I'll boot up the quickstart cold start mission (while checking temps and winds to avoid ruining engine), then read manual inside the cold and dark cockpit first, then locate each and every switch and map them mentally in comparison to the 109, then read some more about supercharger if any exists, fuel, flight charchar, then attempt starting up (while ESC and mapping controls as I go thru manual), then I'll attempt a takeoff and if successful under CH pedals, will orbit around at high altitude then read more on landing, at which point I'll do touch and go as soft trial and if comfy and predictable, will go around and land. No guns or weaps on first day for me. I like to fly first and saddle the bronco before I notch it up.

[snowsniper]

for sure first thing in the spit will be...

 

...a ground loop or severe swerve to the left :music_whistling::lol:

[agentdarnell]

Probably same thing i did in the mustang, seize the engine lol.

[Cowboy10uk]

Put on my Rift and live the fantasy.

1: Crash on take-off and blame Yo-Yo,

2: Seize the engine and blame Yo-Yo,

3: RTFM, focus on the things I should not do and achieve a perfect take-off,

4: Master the beast,

5: Praise Yo-Yo and ED!

 

 

(6 as bonus: while flying the spit, thinking how great the F/A-18c will be, in a year or so and how great the spit will be integrated in the Normandy Map, with the 40's assets...)

First, I will do big holes in the spitfire with my Bf-109. Sorry guys :D

[coldViPer]

I think i try to start a 100 Times

 

Me too, and after that I RTFM and succesfully start the bird :D

[Art-J]

RTFM, followed by figuring out how to take off in the first ever DCS warbird, in which you cannot lock or steer a tailwheel (if I recall correctly). I'm afraid that will make things much more challenging than in previous three modules (for guys like me, who don't own fancy rudder pedals). I might follow someone's suggestion of practicing already now in 109 with the wheel unlocked...

[NineLine]

The way the brakes operate is somewhat different too, been giving me fits adjusting to it :)

[craig_sez]

Bigger throttle body,low pro tires,high lift cam,ngk plugs,catch can.....OOOpppsss wrong forum..lol

Classic :thumbup:

 

Brings back memories of a rather proud day I had when in the RAF. I took part in the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain parade in London in 1990. Big fly past, and the last two aircraft that flew down the Mall was a Hurricane and a Spitfire wing tip to wing tip VERY low and they peeled off in front of the palace one went left the other right. They must have been down to 50ft!

 

There were lots of veteran pilots attending. A great story went around at the time that there was a big party held for them in London. A group of Polish veterans were going from their hotel to the venue and when the taxi driver found out who they were he refused to accept the fare. Nice touch that.

after start up quickly rev the engine to max while I hold the brake handle and full right rudder!

 

lets see if the gyroscopic percession will push the nose over and plant the prop into the ground

[WarHawk72]

F2 and zoom into the model and slowly pan around looking for the perfect new wallpaper....oh then i might try and get her running.

[Apache600]

After seeing the video from Wags .... start it up, sit on the ramp in idle, and turn the speakers up :)

[jmijnen]

Close the canopy, don't want to get a cold while we figure out how to start it gents!

[Sharkey2009]

Probably Drewel over her slick lines then go blow some 109s an p51's out the Sky

wont the P-51 be on your side?

just a thought ;-)

Not if I make a Scenario where I put it on the other side for the Lols ;)

[plexi]

...the first thing eh?

 

Probably after numerous crashes rollovers eating dirt and generally blameing DCS and the Devs 'cause they surely got it wrong......I'll read the manual!!:music_whistling:
