No love for Flying Circus? Just curious as i own FCI but don't mess with it much... As some of you were kids during the Great War (JK!) I would think FC\FCII would be popular, or is the interest just WWII?

We will have to wait. Who knows perhaps Normandy will be released on June 6th?
Apparently not... Good time to remember all who died on that beach and what followed 77 years ago today..

Took the Tiffie up for a spin today and I have to say, I rather like it. Feels sturdy, turns better than expected and expededly makes a right mess of tanks and trains and shift. Roll rate is terrible, but I did manage to shoot down a 109 on my first sortie. Definitely my favourite early access aircraft from BoN so far.
It reminds me of a Dora, great B&Z plane and it's cannon will shred whatever they hit. A 109 head on pass will not work out well for them..

See our calendar!
As for the Porsche - it looks mighty fine, though the way that steering wheel is positioned - I suspect it performs better in a straight line than in cornering?
Just think of it like driving a Bus and all will be well...

Maybe you need to be made a DangerDog to access the link. Do you want to join in on Sunday evening? Dogfight and then some coops.
Have a party Sunday afternoon (the lockdown has relaxed a bit here), not sure when that will end.. what time do the targets report for the dogfight slaughter?

@GPatricks is that a Porsche 911 930 Targa in your pic ?
If you like your motors check out this DDz thread....
http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/13620-your-cars/
Close! It is a 1979 911 SC converted to full race for the Porsche Club of America Racing program. I was not allowed in to the link you sent, got "

Aha, that's in the pre-mission setup screen of the aircraft, where you configure your ammo, skin etc. Next tab along I think from memory?
Thx, have an old picture there now, i'll try re-running the JG activation again and look in the plane textures to see if it changes..
EDIT: It didn't so I used brute force and overwrote all of the custom_photo.dds files, NOW they are there... hey, if nothing else i'm waking up memories in you old farts!

Silly question, are 'Mods on' in the actual game settings?
Yes, but the post says even if they weren't the pic will show up as it's something that is part of the sim (that has been replaced).. Also read somewhere that there is a ticbox for "Photo", don't see it anywhere..

There is a mod that replaces the sweetheart photo with a cheat sheet. Most aircraft have one and its very handy to look at in flight. here
Assume this is the process you are referring to?

I'm not sure but I think the failures may have been on purpose in the mission as it shows I succeeded in bombing, flying on 1 engine, and surviving the landing.. but I really have no idea except it was a blast! I will say IIRC I never exceeded 46" , prop pitch and mixture were full forward, and we actually flew 90% of the mission at about 25"...
Gonna print that out though!
-
Not (either) in IL2, no..
Edit: Just finished Mission 1 of the one P-38 Campaign, i'm hooked. Right engine dies 15 miles out from landing, Left seizes up 5 miles out, belly landed in grass...

I came across this a while back and forgot about it, Utopioneer did a nice job of making all these training missions, just ran the 1st flight and WOW, the P-38 is about the most stable ship I ever popped into! Onward!

To be honest the P-38 isnt that tricky.

Just found this over on the IL2 forums in a similar thread of someone looking for a manual...
http://akvictoria.by/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/P-38-Lightning.pdf
LOL, likely my thread or post (Icer is my BMS F-16 callsign, going back to Ice/-Ice-/Icer in Aces High circa 2000) as that is the manual I linked above, going through it now before my 1st hop in a P-38J seat...
-
Ok, so do I have to fly DD_Fenrir to Spain to sit here and I ask him questions or is there a link to his manual(s) or video somewhere?
-
Thx Crash, already watched that a couple times and it's a great start but I need to make a comprehensive startup list and want to know what everything does and why a setting is correct (or not), and when... LOT of levers and switches in that thing, coming out of a BF-109K its a tad daunting.. I'm more of a "where is the manual" kinda guy.
-
Found a 1945 P-38 manual here, hopefully it will help me understand this thing.. last time I flew one was Aces High about 20 years ago.. not quite the same bird.

Cools...
I found 77 more skins than before? Like not 88? Oh well - no worries.
Now I just need a printed P-38 manual to better understand start-up, prop trim, etc. etc.... I show 3218 skins now! You are correct, that is 77 more, no idea what the other 11 were but I got a message about a 2K Yak skin being ignored, maybe there were 10 more 2K skins..

Hello Gary, welcome here!
We already have a US-Gary-raising-our-Average-Age - wait what, has our Funflak emigrated to Spain?? Is that you Gary???
Thx Arjen, I just used your skin tool, thank you! Somehow I had 88 4K skins that you didn't have (if I understood the software correctly) which were uploaded after I downloaded the 3100+ other skins! And no, i've been here for 3+ years, not me!

Welcome GPatricks sir, if any of our members annoy you with inane chit chat on TS during flights we will have them soundly flogged to within an inch of their remaining lives, rest assured !
I myself very rarely say anything on TS as I am under confidant, extremely shy, have no strong opinions and am unbearably timid. Many of the DDz are much the same...
..................................Nice rig btw 👍🏻
LOL.. Thx, I have been looking for an RTX 3090 card for quite some time now. Just heard yesterday from a US friend they are releasing the RTX 3080 TI in a short while, maybe availability will increase as there are 0 cards (under €2000) here... and had 88 Skins this morning, have 3141 (4K) now!

Virpil WarBrd base arrives tomorrow, hopefully the install (using my Warthog jstick handle) will go well and I can show up!
