Hrrm, you think they would have been more specific about that Iron, it'd suck if they lose potential new players and customers because that license isn't easy to find.
My crap DCS Thread

There is a link in the news post but it should be made more clear there what it is for and what the process is. I told my brother about the free trial and sent him a link to news story. We'll see if he finds it.
Gonna create a channel mission to defend B-17s from the Luftwaffe with Jugs. If anyone wants to join me/us for a session lemme know when would be a good day/time.
-
.50 cal only. No cannons, missiles, or water cooled engines.
Help me spare the world learning to speak German.
-
I'll get the Jugalicious downloaded.
-
So I see I'm going to need the Channel map as well.
-
So I created an escort mission. 12 B-17s, 12 AI escort P-47s, 2 client P-47s, 12 AI CAP FW-190s. started at 22,000 ft. Whoa. The flight dynamics at this altitude are like nothing in Aces High. Full power torque at this alt in the Jug is a big factor. The gyroscopic effect will also take some getting used to.
-
I reduced the altitude to 15K for the bombers. Makes fighting easier.
-
Dealing with the dynamics of almost constant power/torque changes is challenging and seems much more realistic than not having this.
-
This mission, -escort.miz, can be downloaded from here:

You'll need the P-47 module, channel terrain, and also the WWII assets pack I think.
-
I added a mission for those who don't have the WWII Assets Pack. Apparently the assets pack is not included in the free trial.
This mission is 4 AI FW-190Ds and 2 AI P-4730s and 2 Client P-47s. Over the channel.

That sounds like fun
-
There was a game in development that I liked Target Tobruk. The flight model was supposed to be very realistic
-
I'm ready except for how to arm the guns. I'll be looking at Chuck's Guides here soon to figure out how to do this.
-
Storch if you can, you should give the WW2 stuff in DCS a whirl - the flight model/dynamics/realism is handily the best out there. Il2 is pretty good these days, but doesn't hold a candle to DCS's WW2 stuff, IMO.
I'll try your mission out tonight Iron, thanks for sharing it.
-
I no longer have a computer nor internet other than phone.
I can't say I miss it.
-
I got kinda engrossed in reading the guide on the P-47 and I finally got down to the gun section....two things to arm the gun? Wtf? LOL!! I was going to make a VoiceAttack macro to get the guns ready to go but I don't think there is any need.
I also flew the escort mission offline a few times and I'm slowly getting better. I'm actually busting up Focke-Wulfs a time or two each mission.
The P-47 seems pretty stable as long as you keep the rudder trimmed to eliminate sideslip. Reading the guide educated me on how to manage the engine in a rudimentary way. I mapped the engine throttle to the right throttle and boost to the left one, water injection is on the stick and prop rpm is mapped to a rotary switch on the throttle.
-
Iron we can fly that mission online together tomorrow if you want.
-
I have to work tomorrow but am off at 3 MDT and can after that if you want.
-
Sure thing.
-
My gunnery sucks in this game, hard core. Gunsight is useless in the P-47 because I can never see it, it's always under the dash.
