Krupi Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 On discord it has stated that the fuel starvation time will increase from 1.5 seconds to 3-4 seconds, so lets see how it feels then. I had no idea that the Bendix Carb wasn't on the Merlin 25, I assumed it would have been easy to retrofit! Perhaps the Spitfire Merlins were deemed priority and why would a low level FB.VI require it? Still, caught me completely off guard.

Handles beautifully. You can do some really fun differential throttling shenanigans with hammerheads - if you are very very accurate, otherwise you can throw her into some really difficult spins. Took me 2 hours before rolling her off of the runway for the 1st time - just sat in the cockpit giggling like a 12 year old girl and flipping switches like an imbecile... So much equipment to learn (not yet implemented)! It has some acknowledged issues, such as the overdone carburator choking, odd 1 second delay when firing the Hispanos, lots of glitches, but we are in EA - these will be fixed and my sweetie will be perfect!

Eldur Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 We finally have a FAQ... best part of it: Quote How long will the discount last? Once the product goes into early access, the price will go back to full price. You guys literally could have written "By the time you're able to read this, the pre-sale is over since we've just release the module into early access" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the left engine emitting overheating-style water vapour yesterday when I was warming up the engines at 1500 RPM with radiators closed, even though all temps were still below recommended. Is that something similar to what you've noticed? Aborted the mission then and flew it again with rads open all the time - no issues noted.

Bremspropeller Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Same here, white "steam" from the port engine with temps in the normal range. Not temping up and more or less going after you reach the runway helps as a workaround. Rad temps were never higher than 105, maybe 110. Mariannas map, OAT around 25-27°C. So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!

Taxiing around 1200RPM, takeoff at 3000/+12, climbout at 2850/+9. Oil temp 30C. Rad temp 60C on taxi. On climbout oil temp was around 40C, Rad temp around 95C. First time it was the left engine. Second two missions were both right engine. Smoke as I taxi onto the runway, then it goes away. Takeoff, climb, smoke for a couple seconds on climbout, then goes away and gone for the rest of the mission. On an unrelated note, oil dilution buttons don't appear to work either.

Nealius Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Anyone else finding that you really don't need much rudder at all on takeoffs or landings? I have takeoff assist and auto rudder OFF in the settings, and the pedals don't move on their own, but the lack of rudder input required feels odd to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, level bombing was done with the glass-front variants and the #2 laying prone. BTW, when my mum was born, my grandad was in France (RAF ground crew), and the only ride home he could get was in the bomb aimer position of one of those mosquitoes. He said the pilot was having some fun with him, flying very low across the channel and clearing the cliffs so close he thought they'd cut the grass! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinero Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Looks like the fuel mixture changes incorrectly, when the lever is DOWN (RICH) the exhaust color has a blue shade, when it’s UP (WEAK) - turns red.

Kirkey_badgers Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Loving this on first inital flights, pretty much a n00bie when it comes to prop and warbirds. Couple of questions So my HOTAS is a single stage trigger (X-56) - I imagine those with 2 stage can fire the cannons and machine guns together? is there a way around this with one stage trigger do you think? Currently I have them both bound to the trigger with machine guns using a modifier to shoot them. Also, still learning the start procedure so muscle memory isn't quite there yet. If you mess up the sequence slightly, like forgetting the magnetos or not opening the fuel valve. If I try again in the correct sequence the engine never seems to catch and properly start up. Seems only way I can, is to get a brand new aircraft. Is that prototypical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the real mossie you shoot the 20mm with the index finger and the .303 with the thumb. Don't forget to open the window and order the ground crew to prime the engines again after a failed start attempt.

Devil 505 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Anyone loving the Mossie needs to go watch this. GREAT movie for its time. It will get you fired up to fly it in DCS. Wish we had a map to go along with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit21 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Superb job - excellent module. Just sitting in the cockpit and starting her up is a treat.

Devil 505 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 A quick run across the channel followed up by a heavy hit by AAA. Very intense and a lot of fun getting her back across the channel and landed on pretty much one engine. Damage model is rockin! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floarm Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 ...could the Mossie be used for cargo runs? Some MP servers are using L-39 or C-101 for recce and transport runs...so I think the Mosquito would be interessting, too...more challenging and fun to fly! Not very easy on the modern servers due to absence of RWR/CM, but could "provoke" close coop escort sorties. (Would a friendly IFF interogation on a friendly Mossie produce a friendly reply in the simple DCS-IFF-Universe? Or unknow/red?) Did BOAC use FB MkVI for the ball bearing runs to Sweden...?
