MiGCap1 Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Nobody has a wish? Then I will start. The Dora is one of the oldest WW2 aircraft in DCS. This bird was the reason I paid Kickstarter money in 2014. But that is nearly a decade ago. DCS has evolved a lot. And the older modules are a little bit left behind. My wish: Do not overhaul only the Allied WW2 aircraft. Think also of the fans of the German stuff. More clickable solutions (like for example the safety lever on the stick, the 109 has it), better optics etc. And the pilot would look much better with correct net flight cap and correct late war goggles, a jacket according to 1944/45 and please, please remove the Knights Cross, there were only few KC holders flying the Dora in the last months of the war. Looks silly when every squadron pilot in a flight has this decoration. Isn't worth the effort? Then look what Heatblur does with the flight crew of the Phantom and how the DCS players like it ... there are often the small things which make the difference between good and WOW! My five cents. 10 3 http://www.instagram.com/spetersen13/?fbclid=IwAR07OCbRZX6qISe0fS8iUQfzts_iazbm7UEsxiKNnqviADGTaRWJJN7iAws http://www.facebook.com/spetersen13/
MiGCap1 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Posted December 22, 2023 Oh, I forgot: And please make the canopy appear clearer from the outside like in more recent modules, it looks like a soap bubble! 14 http://www.instagram.com/spetersen13/?fbclid=IwAR07OCbRZX6qISe0fS8iUQfzts_iazbm7UEsxiKNnqviADGTaRWJJN7iAws http://www.facebook.com/spetersen13/
IrishStarJumper Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Love the Dora and was my first DCS aircraft... But when i got into a Fw190A. The difference with detail/damage etc is kind of making me feel like the Dora has been left behind, considering these to aircraft are nearly the same from the canopy back ( granted longer ) I would have taught the update would have been easier than other aircraft updates. I understand it updates are mostly down to what consumers deem popular etc... But Dora seems like an easy one... 5 1 PC : MSI B650 TOMAHAWK | AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | DeepCool AS500 Plus | MSI RX6800 | Kingston Fury 32Gb DDR5-5600 | Corsair Mp600 2 x 1TB | PICO4
Silver_Dragon Posted April 4 Posted April 4 ED has some plans to update de Dora to same level to others, as othes with need a update, as UH-1H, F-5E, etc. 2 2
LeCuvier Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Re-looking the pilot is a nice-to-have. I would prefer to see a realistic gun safety latch. Currently (since day one) we cannot arm it, and it automatically arms itself when you pull the trigger. That's ridiculously unrealistic. 3 LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5

Yes, should be not too difficult or expensive in time. Just bring it to the better detail level of the Anton (incorporate the safety lever etc.), take @Doughguy‘s new textures and skins (I am sure he will approve the official use by DCS, @Wags ), rework the pilot (l tried but failed to do so) and You basically have a very old DCS aircraft up to date. And You do the WW II players who like the German side a big favour. The Allied side already has more aircraft and more modern modules (like the Mosquito). 1 http://www.instagram.com/spetersen13/?fbclid=IwAR07OCbRZX6qISe0fS8iUQfzts_iazbm7UEsxiKNnqviADGTaRWJJN7iAws http://www.facebook.com/spetersen13/
MiGCap1 Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Some updates today for P-47, P-51 and Spitfire. But nothing for the German WWII birds. 2 2 http://www.instagram.com/spetersen13/?fbclid=IwAR07OCbRZX6qISe0fS8iUQfzts_iazbm7UEsxiKNnqviADGTaRWJJN7iAws http://www.facebook.com/spetersen13/
Bucic Posted April 12 Posted April 12 The recent February audio overhaul is already a huge deal. It's now more fun to taxi on the runway than to fly the Dora pre-update An update to the 3D model, 3D damage model and systems damage modeling would have been great. The Yo-Yo's landing gear physics overhaul is destined for all the aircraft so it's only logical Dora gets it pretty soon.

umland Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Would be also nice to have a working AFN2 in the German Warbirds. Thanks a lot..

MrExplosion Posted July 1 Posted July 1 On 6/29/2024 at 4:34 PM, Hobel said: it is simulated and should therefore work No, it doesn't. The AFN-2 is a display device that can take input from a variety of sources. The German warbirds have a FuG16ZY radio built in. The Z in the name stands for Zielflug, roughly translatable to direction finding. So in our warbirds the device was used to home in on a beacon and find your airfield that way. The AFN-2 was also used as a display device for an early ILS but for that to work it required different radio to supply the input to the AFN-2 and that radio was only used in warbirds specially outfitted for bad weather ops. Our warbirds in DCS don't have that radio as you can tell by the missing antennas on the model as well. It is possible right now to place ILS beacons by editing some LUA files and get the AFN-2 working for the ILS approach. It SHOULD be possible though, to place a FuG16Z beacon unit in the mission editor and home in on that with the AFN-2. 2 Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert.

Oh, I see, now ty. but you don't have to edit Lua, enter AFN 111.5 for Kobuleti as an example in the editor, so you can then find the airport with the AFN 1
Mrgone Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I've had an issue with all three German warbirds for a while now. Yes, I agree they need a visual update. However, for me, the gun recticals are off to the the left on the Bf-109K and both FW-190's. I don't use Track IR and have read how to correct for those users. I do use VR but nothing I do seems to help. Anyone experience this issue? Altering the Visual.lua has no effect?

Doughguy Posted July 1 Posted July 1 its meant for bad weather approaches iirc. plus, it only really works on "modern" set up maps. not on normandy. hence, rather "useless". https://sr-f.de/

Mrgone Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Can you tell me what moves the Piper in the Reflex site independantly from my head movement? My head centering is okay, the reflex is offset to the right. This part I get and is normal? It's the illuminated piper within the rectical that I need to move. It has for some reason moved far to the left. Just can't figure what moves or shifts the piper . . .
