Bozon Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 @Jim Bob Well done sir. I was used from other games to slamming the throttle forward and takeoff while using my free left hand to hold my beer. Mosquito takeoffs in DCS require a bit more concentration and fine control inputs, so I have to put the bottle down for 30 seconds till I reach safety flying speed Navigation to the target, that’s the time for boozing. 2 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

Jim Bob Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 @Bozon Thank you! That does indeed sound like the best plan. As long as the beer still has a place in your sortie, then all is well with the world! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you yaw to the left, bump the left throttle a bit more, and vice versa if you yaw right. Its kind of like using a T-handle stearing device. This works for taxi,, and take-off runs. You won't need to use the over sensitive breaks. There is a thread somewhere on how to adjust curves to slow down the sudden locking of the breaks. Good luck I found that binding both engine throttles to the same lever in fact solved all my ground and take-off issues. With split throttles it would randomly spin one way or the other. Levers on Hotas work fine so I wonder if it is a mossie thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippa Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Interesting to read the different ways people are going about this. I'm still flicking the brakes with rudder if I have to tuck the tail in on take off. Not a lot but I wouldn't be without the brakes, more so since the silly bounce update. I don't know if the stats are saved somewhere but I know landing is my least well practiced. Blowing my own wings off probably my most practiced. I've found one or two beers is flyable but over Christmas I fired myself up on the whiskey one night and had the bright idea of 'having a little flight' while already way past the blur-zone. I should've saved a track. It wouldn't have been pretty. Think Blackadder singing I'm a little Goblin slumped in between pilot and nav seats. Practice is the way.
