Crikey! Another monster patch ladies & gents... this one took almost two hours for me to D/L to the OpenBeta last week so I recommend you commence the update ASAP to avoid a disappointing wait trying to join tomorrows DCS session.

Big notes: Fw 190A-8 baby!!!

Plus, a huge slew of Tomcat tweaks. 

An issue with HARMs going rogue and deciding they'd rather target some thing other than what you fired at fixed....(phew!)

The JSOW is gonna be a fun little toy for you Hornet drivers also.

Spitfire Rudder Trim has increased resolution for each button input - so for those of you with rudder trim on a hat switch or keyboard, each click will give you finer control of the rudder trim, allowing more precise trimming of the rudder

Plus, the ability to now map the P-51s Gear Down/Gear Up to two separate switches will help those of us who regularly bimble along with the gear down thinking we've raised it cos we hit the raise gear switch that works in every other damn a/c....!

Curves my man, custom curves. Partiularly on your pitch axis:

The Spitfire is unlike any other Warbird in that the power of the elevator authority is such that, according to the NACA report, you need only move it 3/4" (19mm) from neutral to reach critical AoA. Compare that to the full fore and aft range of deflection of the entire control column and then apply a similar scaling percentage wise to your home joystick and you start to see the problem.

Attempting to fly it on a 0% curve and a traditional PC gaming joystick of only 20-30cm length is artificially difficult as the displacement covered by that range to critical AoA is going to be in the range of 5-6mm. Ergo making small corrections in pitch for gunnery and landing are harder than in reality and are more likely to result in the virtual pilot over controlling and in turn overcorrecting. Even a standard curve of 15-25% isn't really gonna alter that very narrow margin much.

You're gonna need something a bit special:

Go to Adjust Controls

Spitfire LFIX Sim> Axis Commands

Find the "Pitch" control row and single click the cell with the axis binding in it.

Now select the "Axis tune" button that has been activated.

New window with the control curve screen now available.

Leave deadzone at 0

Leave Saturation X at 100

Leave Saturation Y at 100

Leave curvature at 0

Select "User Curve" option check-box

Now input following values: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,24,50,100

Click "OK"

Aileron and Rudder do to your normal, happy, mustang-esque favourite settings.

Enjoy!
