    One excellent cockpit there Wingy :salute:

    You might have tempted me into building one, then I will have to buy a heli module :rolleyes:

    I still cant work out how the pivot works. Surely not on the pot stem? Any twist grip on it?

    Is the old joystick board in the CD player chassis? I still cant work out how it is mounted on the chair. I love this home brewed stuff. Is the throttle on the arm or have you mapped that to other hardware?

    Dear Friends,

    Our team has some important news.

    Update 5.101 Coming Next Week

    Update 5.101 is in the final stages of preparation - this Friday we are preparing its Release Candidate and doing the final testing. The release of the update is scheduled for next week - this also will be the official release of the Flying Circus Volume II. The map has been significantly redesigned and looks nothing like the early access version. The World War I Pilot Career mode has been completed - the tours of duty of the historical squadrons, various, new mission types are added while existing ones are updated to be suitable for World War I are all in.

    In addition to the Flying Circus release, the update 5.101 includes new Collector Plane Spitfire Mk.XIVe Bubbletop - one of the late modifications of the famous British fighter, the main visual difference is a new teardrop canopy, providing a better field of view to the pilot.

    Also, the new campaign Wings over Caen we told you about in DD#338 will be released as well. Get ready for the hectic Typhoon action over Normandy! All owners of Battle of Normandy get this campaign for free.

    Li-2 Announcement

    We would also like to announce we are working on the Soviet transport aircraft Li-2 with our partners at "Yugra-Media".  In order to keep the historical authenticity, we create the airplane on the base of earlier produced American transport aircraft C-47 "Skytrain" that was known in the USSR as "Douglas".

    Unlike the original Douglas, the Li-2 has been used as a bomber too - we reflected this with the appropriate equipment. The list of changes to the original aircraft is quite extensive:

    • The Soviet plane is equipped with completely different engines.
    • The Li-2 carries defensive armament, including a spherical UBT machine gun on the roof.
    • The transport cockpit has to be built from scratch, as it uses Soviet instruments.
    • There are other differences in aircraft design (cargo doors, etc.).

    The screenshots show the work we have done to build the model. The Li-2 flight model and Soviet paratrooper 3d models for it are in the works.

    This famous Eastern Front aircraft will be available in summer 2023. Stay tuned!

    RAM = Below average. 16GB is a sub-optimal. DCS prefers 32GB and is happiest on 64GB.

    GPU = Below average. It'll run but you'll have to dial back the eye-candy. If you have the facilities to get hold of even a sound 2nd hand 1080ti then that'd be better.

    DCS is free to download so you can try it out before committing any funds; I would say get it just to see how well it will run on your system.

     

     

    Look at this site. You get a 2 year guarantee and they will buy your old stuff. Look also for M2 drives. Check your power supply as later cards need more power cables.
