Kick.. nay nudge the rudder a tad and she comes off the rails pretty quick! ;)

I got online last night, had to do the reg edit thing to fix it so I could join online.. But now I need to work on the start up sequence.. Sat on the runway and watch folks flying.. looked like fun.. I did notice the prop was not turning on the planes I was watching

Probally wont be able to do much with it this weekend, got some ol army buddies comming over and we will probally be out and about

I'll give it a try! :)

One of the daunting thing with DCS sims are the learning curves, I haven't been game to try a cold start as yet! But if I can learn how to take off in a Blehiem, I recon I can get this 'Stang up and running!

Now I'll be checking two web sites daily looking for patches!

There's an interactive training mission that will guide you through the start-up routine. It's a rather simple process actually.

did someone check 1.34 on that vid and what was visible?

The 109s? Yup! ;)

And yes, I've also seen a few other shots over on simhq. I hope they manage to get the 190 and the Fortress in soon, because my wallet is both itching and aching.

Did a quick video during one of my take-off and landing training sessions:

They wont ban you for talking about another sim ... it's not a dictatorship ... I hope ;)

yeapp 109's-E

Did you have the simplified model active ( I didn't bother installing the simple model at all ) but I had to be sooo careful with rudder and throttle control just to get the thing airborne. I must have made about 3 three attempts. For me the FM is very twitcty and I like it.

At one point I attemped a landing, came in too high, so I executed missed approach. I applied too much throttle however and started oscillating all over the place. It's wansn't easy to stabalise like in CloD or 46.

I share your sentimants re competition, it's not CLoD and I don't think they have anything to worry about ... now. Because it all depends on what DCS do next. The DCS World system is pretty cool and I actaully prefer the idea of buying only the aircraft I want to fly and pluging it in to DCS World.

In all honesty, I would have only flown about 10 or so aircraft during my time with IL-2 1946, and seriously flown 5.

I think it's only a matter of time before we get more a/c and maps from DCS ... as it stands DCS have already asked the cumminuty to make 3rd party options AND get paid for it.

Mind you it's limited to missions, skins, sounds etc. but what if they opened this up to 3rd party developement of aircraft like MS did with FSX? Then we might see CLoD have some competition.
