We all tend to use the same manual for the 38 Gary..... DD_Fenrir

To get the best out of Tom(DD_Fenrir), I have found that choosing your moment carefully, plying him with chocolates and promising him the world is probably the most fruitful approach ?

Thx Blubear! Edit: I'm in the video!

This is why we need MOAR FLYERZ

@Painless have you ever been cited in a divorce case before?

Hi all, Jocko, a chap who has consistently made great Spitfire skins since way back in Il-2: 1946 days, turned his hand to DCS. I recommend you get them - particularly the generics -because I will be using them a great deal in my missions as, in my opinion, in some regards they're even better than Reflected's: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/unit-is-spitfire_lf_mk.ix/user-is-jocko417/apply/?PER_PAGE=50

Hey, that's really not how we roll/fly/think/talk over here ... We are a confident bunch of professionals, we have no doubts, we know of all failures, ours, the accidental ones, all the fAilures and shift! I am probably quite kinda sure of that. I think?

Heyyyy....you didn't ask permission to hijack my post!!! I'd have said no anyway and you'd have done it anyway so this is a pointless post really....

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!

Well, looking at your boresight-cross and watching that AoA Indexer shallow out, you actually do flare - it might happen subconsciously, though. 😃 I have heard there are two techniques used by pilots: One technique is to fly 13 Units AoA down the approach right to touchdown (your sinkrate is dependant on power here, so giving it a burst of power will practically "flare" the aircraft). The downside of this technique is that the nozzle will touch the runway at 15°, so there's very little of a margin. The other technique is approaching slightly fast (FPM at the top end of the E-bracket), which is 11 Units. Or is it actually degrees in the Viper? You'll bring that up to 13 Units/degrees in the flare, synchronized with placing the FPM at the far end of the runway. I'm using this technique as it seems more natural to me. There seems to be some sort of ground-effect modelled in DCS, which will cushion your sinkrate a bit. As it does IRL. FPM = Flight Path Marker.

yes mate, 😉😂

Good weather and having to work my ass off because of! That said, I personally tend to prioritise DCS over il2, I just enjoy it more myself, horses for courses.

Come back Sweper, you know you want to

That stuff is not needed really. Yesterday I somehow landed the Tomcat on the carrier, third wire, when it was dark, and I did not even have any instrument lighting on ... lol FFB stick is nice though, you can feel it in that way.... The Three Toms (Fen, Brems and AP - 2x Cat, 1x Hornet) with their fancy approach paths and flols and fpv and procedures all landed successfully before I did, and none of them got third wire! Mind you, they landed before I did, so it was even lighter for them! Yeah, I guess I got lucky with third wire' n' all, and it'll surely never happen again ...

Actually, now you say that, my life would be so much simpler if I was, hmm, you got me thinking now 😲

Hey, what if we try a completely different approach? And use aircraft! Like, in winter weather, attack tanks and guns in a ground attack plane, like, like, the P-38 !! That'd be SO COOL!
