Snapage Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 So the Mosquito was teased a lot in the trailer. Does this mean it's not to far away? 2020 release? :D
Ala13_ManOWar Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 THE ROUNDELS ARE THE INCORRECT PROPORTIONS:doh: :lol::lol::lol: I had to insist quite a bit in order to get the USAAF markings in the B-17 in the right proportions even though F-86 and P-51 either had them still wrong IIRC, not to mention to get the Spanish Hornet skins right for once, so keep it up :thumbup: .

philstyle Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 So the Mosquito was teased a lot in the trailer. Does this mean it's not to far away? 2020 release? :D The trailer was entitled 2020 AND BEYOND. So the mozzie can be expected either in 2020, or not in 2020.

Birko Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 If you think about it, everything in the universe is either a de Havilland Mosquito FB VI, or not a de Haviland Mosquito FB VI
Weta43 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Even if you don't think about it, everything in the universe is either a de Havilland Mosquito FB VI, or not a de Haviland Mosquito FB VI. Everything in the universe being either a de Havilland Mosquito FB VI, or not a de Haviland Mosquito FB VI is one of the universes immutable truths Cheers.

A: Yes it does. It also makes a Mosquito, but there is no one there to fly it.

msalama Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 but there is no one there to fly it. What if it flies regardless? And sits on your bare arm drawing blood with gusto? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
zcrazyx Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 legend has it that when a mosquito takes damage the trees nearby give apart of themselves to keep the wooden wonder flying
Snapage Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 The trailer was entitled 2020 AND BEYOND. So the mozzie can be expected either in 2020, or not in 2020. I guess at the end of the day it would be nice to have a ball park figure for when it may be released.
Birko Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I'm under the impression it'll be this year. "Everyone at Eagle Dynamics is working hard to make the start of this decade one to remember. While 2019 was a monumental year for DCS. We have more exciting things in store for 2020. This includes new aircraft such as the P-47 Thunderbolt, Mosquito, Mi-24P Hind, as well as the continued development of the F/A-18C Hornet and F-16C Viper including air-to-ground radar, Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensors and enhanced missile dynamics and behaviour." We know we're getting it after the Jug. If the channel map release is meant to coincide with the P-47 release, and the map is supposed to go into pre-order in February, I think the Mossie will be Q3 or Q4.
Al-Azraq Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I think that it is quite clear that ED's intention is to release the Mosquito this year, they even showed it rocking in the last trailer. If this is true, at the end of 2020 we will have a solid WWII content but we will still be missing a Me-410. i7 12700KF | MSI Z690 A-PRO | Corsair Vengeance 2x16 gb @ 3200 Mhz | RTX 3070 Ti FE | Acer XB271HU 1440P 144HZ | Virpil T-50 CM throttle | Virpil WarBRD Base + MongoosT-50 CM2 Grip | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR 5 | HP Reverb G2 Bf 109 K-4 | Fw 190 A-8 | Spitfire LF Mk.

Richard Dastardly Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Yes, ME-410 B-6 At least there is one extant, but given it's not run it's engines for over 30 years it might be quite expensive to model...

Talisman_VR Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Any news if DCS will provide historical bomb delay timings for the Mosquito and other warbirds? Lots of sophisticated weapons for fast jets are available, but so far no bomb delay timings for WW2 aicraft. Please correct me if I am wrong about that. Happy landings, 56RAF_Talisman
Silver_Dragon Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 fuzing has a feature to add in the DCS core, not exclusive from WW2. Need implement a system aneex to a bomb / artillery, etc to get a fuze with some funtionality and configurate them by the mission creator on the mission editor.

xvii-Dietrich Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 fuzing has a feature to add in the DCS core, not exclusive from WW2. Er... are you saying that delayed fuzes are not in DCS? But I was using delayed fuzes in the FW190 D9 last night (i.e. mit Verzögerung). That worked totally fine. Wouldn't that mechanism also be usable for the DH98? So is that what you mean, or are you referring to something else?
Jester986 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 The D-9 has it but other modules like the P-51 should have it as well. The D-9 can just set a timer from the cockpit where in other planes it would be set by ground crew before loading.

So is that what you mean, or are you referring to something else? DCS bomb databases has not a "fuze" as a adition on a bomb on DCS databases (i dont found them yet), normaly, "fuzes" as mechanic device can be implement on modules as scripts on Fw-190D-9 on other, but no "fisically" addition on weapons. Need to check WW2 modules. Example, SC250 fuzes: -Type 25B electric impact fuze. This could be set to instantaneous detonation, short delay (less than 1 second), or for a 17-second delay.[6] -Type 17 electric clockwork fuze. This was a time-delay fuze; the Type 17 and 17A could be set for any time between 2 and 72 hours after dropping, while the 17B could be set to detonate between 3 and 135 minutes.[7] To prevent the bomb being defused by Allied bomb disposal personnel they were fitted with: -Type ZUS 40 mechanical antiwithdrawal fuze. This was a simple spring-loaded detonator fitted to prevent the removal of the fuze, and resulted in instantaneous detonation if it were moved by more than 15 mm (0.59 in).[8] -Type 50 and 50B (called "Type Y" by the British from a distinguishing marking stamped on the face of the fuse) electric anti-disturbance fuze. This used three mercury switches to detonate the bomb if the fuze was disturbed or rotated.[9][10] John Pilkington Hudson was awarded the George Medal in 1943 for being the first to successfully disable a Y fuze. -Type 38 electric impact fuze. The Type 38 was designed for use at low-level against shipping, while the Type 38sl. was for use as an anti-submarine bomb.[11] -Type 59B electric aerial burst fuze. Could be set to detonate 12, 41 or 58 seconds after release.[12] -Type 79 electric aerial burst fuze. Could be set to detonate either 3, 10, 25 or 30 seconds after release.[13] For Work/Gaming: 28" Philips 246E Monitor - Ryzen 7 1800X - 32 GB DDR4 - nVidia RTX1080 - SSD 860 EVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 2 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Warthog / TPR / MDF
peeter Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Hello. Will we get only one version of the mossie or two ? (like the spit with two set of wings) i'm thinking about the mossie with the 57mm autocanon to attack u-boat and tanks :D

(like the spit with two set of wings) i'm thinking about the mossie with the 57mm autocanon to attack u-boat and tanks :D There were 17 or 19 or something around that of those built - they had the hispanos removed & possibly two MGs too, and were all used on anti-shipping; would be interesting to see if you could hit a tank with it, I guess. Alll that extra mass ( armour too ) in different places would play havoc with the FM, I'd imagine... I'd think we get whichever versions are flyable & accessable :p Most Wanted: the angry Naval Lynx | Seafire | Buccaneer | Hawker Hunter | Hawker Tempest/Sea Fury | Su-17/22 | rough strip rearming / construction
VampireNZ Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 I prefer 'that other sim' for my warbird fix....but the Mozzie might just change that! http://www.airforce.mil.nz/downloads/pdf/aircraft/de%20havilland%20mosquito.pdf Awesome aircraft! Vampire

Picked up the Mig21 in the mean time and will get the Jug when it comes - it’s gonna be a long wait and I only have 10 fingernails to chew on (no, I can’t reach to bite the toes, already tried). “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!
peeter Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 What are those 2 big red button on the right side ?
Reflected Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I wasn't very excited about the Mossie, but then I watched a couple of documentaries and now I'm super hyped. I've got some seriously awesome plans/ ideas :) I'm so happy we have these ultra realistic, study level simulations of our favorite warbirds that no other sim can offer. Sometimes I just take a warbird and do cold start traffic patterns, because it's so challenging to do it right. Looking forward to this one ;) Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
