DCS P-51D QUESTIONS

[LcSummers]

Thanks guys.

 

Thanks for explaining. For the future i know when to use carburator heat.

[LcSummers]

Microphone push to talk key?

 

There is a pusch to talk Microphone switch key on the Mustangs throttle.

 

1, Can you please tell me the correct name in the control settings? Is it Comm swith?

 

S!

[Vibora]

It should be something like comms push to talk.

[LcSummers]

Thanks but i found something like Comms main menue.

 

I will wait as it seems that ATC is not responding when asking fot taxiing and engine start up.

You have to use the same frequency as the ATC you're trying to catch. Unfortunately, there are just four buttons in the Mustang and no way (that I'd be aware of) to identify the corresponding frequencies, so you'd have to edit the frequencies within the mission editor (property page of your aircraft).

[LcSummers]

Thanks Luigi,

 

it sounds a little bit hard for me editing the frequencies. Never done this before.

 

I know the four buttons, there is also a switch wich i have to flip on that box to transmit and to recieve if i am right.

 

Lets take a look and lets see. May ther will be a training mission in the future showing people like me how to use it.

 

Sure i read the manual and its very interesting.

 

Ciao

About the navigation challenge

 

Kicked it all the way to 7. 100% so far. Any ways, I'm sure the compass (with the desired heading) is the grand-daddy of the Soviet Su-25 Grach. However, while flying the mission now, I was mostly guided by the gates at 25 k and JESUS!!! 30 k?? I stalled while attempting to limp and touch the gate.

 

So, here is a screenschott (lol @ schott!) of the beautiful icy, scheine plains of the Caucasus from 30K..

 

Could someone produce a micro-tutorial for that thing? I already know that the desired heading is set, and the true (thin) compass is always pointing north. What is the bank limit to avoid errors?

What happens if you check the "Simplified Flight Model" box when you are installing?

It changes the default options to use the flight model rudder and takeoff assists.

So if I uncheck auto rudder and put takeoff assist on 0% all will be ok?

If you define ok as a burning pile of ex-P-51 at the side of the runway, then yes.

Ok as in no assists. I was curious as I've been taking off and landing fine without auto rudder and takeoff assist - it's not as hard as it's hyped up to be...

[Kuky]

It's not hard once you know you're not suposed to push on the stick in order to lift the tail which is what I was doing, learned it the hard way :music_whistling:

[Daze]

Noob question: when do I turn the pitot heat switch on?

[Mugenjin]

There's a switch for it on the electrical control panel on the left side.

[159th_Viper]

After take-off, as soon as you've cleaned the aircraft up.

[SimFreak]

Noob question: when do I turn the pitot heat switch on?

 

Right before / When you take active

Although this won't be a problem when propwash is implemented.

I know I was just wondering when I actually turned the switch on

Cheers :thumbup:

Is there a way to stop the cockpit zoom out on game start. I think they introduce this very annoying and useless feature in A-10c.

Press the Numpad* key.

[Jona33]

Press the Numpad* key.

 

Yeah but why put it in in the first place.

[leafer]

That's what I've been doing, but prefer not to have that extra button to push.

 

Jona33,

 

I think they did that for people who cold start - get all the switches without having to pan around. I wish they'd dump it.

I agree. Very annoying future.

[Nate--IRL--]

IIRC it was intended as an aid for those using Triple screens, depending on your aspect ratio, it will zoom in or out - I hate it too.
