Perfect, thanks mate! Going to have to memorise the 'picture' of those gauge settings, as the numbers are a little blurry in VR. A question, were the rpm gauges in order for fine tuning / synchronisation?

Just checked, take off assistance was indeed on. However, I turned it off and took off again no problem; didn't even seem to make a difference! Either years of DCS Spitfire have paid off preparing me for hair-raising take offs, or the Mosquito is a lot tamer than expected.

Great stuff! I finally took the Mossie up for a spin yesterday afternoon, after spending some time adjusting throttle curves etc. to get both axis working more or less in unison (no asymmetric thrust please). Managed to keep her straight-ish down the runway and took off nicely enough - although I haven't checked if any aids were on, must do that. Flew around for a bit, did some aeros, some low flying and landed surprisingly well first time. Then a bit of instant action on the Channel map, shooting at trains and dogfighting an A8 with my port engine on the blink. First impressions, she dogfights better than I expected, like a heavy Spitfire and a real stick and rudder experience - quite a contrast to dogfighting in the P-38, but then these are different sims so perhaps not an entirely fair comparison. This aircraft will prove to be a very enjoyable addition to the sim for sure. Going to try a cold start next for the immersions, then swat up on weapons and systems. PS. thanks @DD_Fenrir for the tip on curves, I've basically copied over my (your) Spitfire curves and it feels natural already. PPS. Everyone should get the Mossie 😁

Are you sure there's not an additional 'TIT' you have to pull Brems?

I managed a brief sit in the cockpit after work, looked around, clicked some buttons and opened the windows. Can't wait to get key mapping and flying this beauty.

Mosquito is now available in OB gents. Don't just stand there, get one up!

Welcome to the pound Beagle / Roy, make yourself at home. Look forward to sharing the virtual skies with you sir! @Painless Didn't you say it was somewhere in Fife where you sourced those armoured underpants with the decorative frills, high tensile elastic and waterproof zipper flaps? Something about the favourable legal implications of purchasing said items north of the border wasn't it? I'm sure your secret is safe with Roy.

Mentioned this to those of you online last night, makes for some interesting reading! They did very well to get away with it all things considered: 😲 https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aaib-investigation-to-hawker-sea-fury-t-mk-dot-20-g-invn

You did make it mate - kind of. You'll be pleased to hear, flying as you I shot down 5 aircraft and blasted 4 howitzers. Was it all a dream though?...

Hoping to make it tonight, though I might be 5-10mins late

Just can't get the staff these days.

Can't make it tonight gents, sorry. Hope it's a successful test

Crazy isn't it?! Balls of titanium.

Whoops, pre-ordered.

Ten four - count me in

How are we looking for tonight @DD_Fenrir - any progress with the issues?

I think Rog has been disabling certain apps on the forum for troubleshooting?

Yeah tiffies sound good

I WANT IT NAOW!!!!

Not sure if this has been posted before, but a great little excerpt of the late Dale "Snort" Snodgrass talking about his time flying Tomcats during Desert Storm. RIP sir

Impressive Todd.

Sorry to hear that Gizm0, hope you get your leg ends sorted ASAP!
