Hi guys,
I just started the P-47D Wolfpack campaign it was a delight!
On the very first mission (intro), the video hung in the middle and froze DCS so I had to terminate it via task manager. On 4k, the initial fps was just 17 and I thought "OMG, gonna have to lower stuff here", but surprisingly on the second attempt the fps went up to ~50 and kept there. This was the only bug so far.
I loved the environment and I knew @Reflected would do a great job. I was right.
So, the mission was to Escort Big Friends and, after being released, free hunting. If you want to jump in to action, here goes an index:
00:30-03:00 - Start up
05:30-06:30 - Takeoff
09:15 - Rendez-vous
14:30-18:45 - Dogfight (3 kills)
22:20-23:00 - Channel B Audio
25:00 - Disappointing Landing (LOL - it was horrible)
Btw, I just uploaded it and YouTube takes time to process the high-res version of it. So, if it is just a 360 res vs, wait a bit and go back later to see it in 4k.
Here it goes:
If you want my Quick Reference Checklist, it is available on the DCS User Files Download page: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3310190/
Congratulations, Reflected! Awesome product.
I will keep posting the videos on this thread as I produce it.
All the best,
Sydy

Hey Sydy, glad to hear that, especially about the performance. Did you select the small bomber formation at the start? Looking forward to your videos.
Hi Reflected,
That's a negative. The only thing I did was to deactivate the Wake Turbulence. Other than that I loved the performance and it was much better than any campaign I flew before. I know 2.7 is helping. The clouds effects are just amazing... I will do the voice over today and upload the video. I already finished editing it.
Congrats!

Hi Reflected,
It was an instantaneous buying for me. I love the P-47. I already flew the first mission and it was awesome. I will make a movie series out of it with some voice overs to narrate what I was doing. The FPS was astonishing good even with larger formation and clouds in Ultra. My computer is average for todays standards and I only have a 2080 besides an average cpu (7700k).
Congrats and I hope to post my first Wolfpack campaign movie later today or tomorrow.
All the best,
Sydy

"UFCP WPT menu can edit data as WP or FYT."
What is the difference between WP and FYT? I tought they were the same.
Hi Rudel,
WP, any waypoint. FYT, Fly to Waypoint. FYT is the waypoint you are flying to currently.
All the best,
Sydy

Gents,
Remember that after landing, if you get DECOL Warning, you may reset the FBW RESET button (the most correct) or press Autopilot twice (easier to map for me).
It's up to you.

Hi guys,
It has been quite a long time I've neglected to fly the Mirage. Last night I flew with my friends and felt the need to update my quick checklist.
I included the new INS procedure, a pdf and a new RWR table.
Here goes the link:
Link: M-2000C Quick checklist for daylight ops + RWR Table
Link: M-2000C Quick Checklist for Night Ops + RWR Table
I hope you like these new updates.
All the best,
Sydy

Hey!
This is my first time starting a DСE compaign. "Hornet_over_Caucasus-CVN-20.43.67". The installation was done correctly. Launched the FirstMission.bat script. All OK!
I start the 1st mission. I choose FA -18. At the start of the compaign, the information - "Start is postponed, wait!" Waiting ...
By briefing, departure at 05.05. No more information appears .. I am performing StartUp, my wingman is standing next to me.
Time 05.05 - I'm taxiing to the catapult - staff did not react to me in any way.!
I can not departure
How should this initial take-off procedure be performed correctly?Hi,
Be aware that take off time is “airborne time”, not taxi time. If a flight arrives to land at that time, the ground crew will be inhibited and will not call tou to connect at the catapult.
Crank it up, taxi out 5min before and get the hell out of there. If a flight arrives and they don’t call you, wait until all planes over the cvn land request launch again.
Good luck,
Sydy

Thank you Sydy
You’re welcome! I can’t deny that I am a bit anxious for Syria DCE Campaigns (Hornet and Viper specifically), but I am a patient guy! lol

Yes, please do, unfortunately only one of the winners was an actual P-47D-30 or -40 replica as modeled in the simulator. The rest were earlier or later D variants and a P-47M variant. Obviously the fictionals are excluded from this. (However seeing a fictional claiming to have over 80 aerial kills is kind of a slap in the face of American aviators.) All the entrees were clearly well within the rules of the competition, however if you are looking to add historically authentic aircraft in-line with what is modeled, you then must adhere to the correct variant modeled. For official skins that is. For user submitted the sky is the limit of course.
I have a hunch you are refering to my livery. Please, read the text on User Files Download or the txt includedwith the skin.
It has 71 bomb marks to count missions,
not aerial kills.
Try to be less “trigger happy” and a tiny bit more elegant...

Hi guys and @trace,
I hope you are all doing well. Three days ago, my MFG Crosswind F-16 Combat Pedals arrived. Btw, this is not a paid advertisement. I bought my pedals and this is an independent review.
The Packaging was very good and withstood the horrible treatment by the Brazilian Mail Service. @trace did a great job packing it from Germany to Brazil.
The installation was not "that" intuitive, but trace told me to remove the original nuts so I could attached the new pedals properly.
Here goes some pictures I made.
I love the MFG Crosswind Pedals as it was already... Let's see after the addition of the Combat Pedals.
Here how are the new pedals:
From the back:
The attachment proved to be tricky initially, but after I removed the rear screws from the MFG attachment point, the pedals became very sturdy and stable.
My Original MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals (attached to a 50x60cm wood plank:
Time to remove the old pedals (and do some clean up LOL
Remember to remove the rear screws. One side of mine came out easily, but the other needed some real "tapping" on it. I attached the original screws and tapped it out from the front side. If you don't remove the original screws, it will be almost impossible to make the new pedals firmly attached.
Now the new pedals. Just to show how it is going to be attached (use the original screws that came with it).
Let me show how I had to tap the original nuts out:
Now it is installed and attached firmly. Don't over-torch it, but you don't need a torchimeter to do it.. LOL You will feel it when it's right.
Let's put it into position and test it:
Ok, now the part you really want to read about it.
First, the original pedals were a bit too flat to me and I had decided not to change it originally. When I installed the new pedals, I did not change the angle and it fit precisely the way I wanted the new pedals. A bit steeper than the original and not that flat. It wouldn't be necessary to recalibrate it, but I did it anyway. It was good.
I flew around 4 or 5 hrs testing it with the F-16C and the feel was great. I fixed the new pedals with the outer points so I had the pedals a bit wider. I thought I'd give more precision and it was confirmed in the tests. There is another set of attachment points that will make the Pedals 1in (2.54cm) narrower. The wider the pedal, the more precise was my control.
Another thing I sensed is that as I am used to fly with the "heel on the floor" in real life, the new pedals helped me to keep the same ergonomics as I use in RL, contrary of the original MFG pedals. From the bottom to the top, the pedals length is 15cm and I felt that the transition from the "heel on the floor" to the "toe braking" was much easier and faster. The shape of the new pedal also brought a firm grip as I usually fly at home bare-footed (not bare-naked, pls, LOL). I felt that it was much much easier to brake with the new pedals.
I can say that the Trace's Combat Pedals made my rudder and brakes much closer of what I sense in RL. The ergonomics are great and it was a perfect pair to my MFG Crosswind Pedals. Please, be sure that the original MFG pedals are quite good, but the new ones are just excepcional.
I'd like to recommend to all MFG Crosswind Pedal owners to consider this acquisition. Contact @trace via PM and manage your buying. From Germany to Brazil, took around a month to receive it, mostly because of the Brazilian Mail Service (it is quite bad).
@trace, congratulations for your design and I hope you sell a lot of them to our flyers.
All the best,
Sydy

Over PG, TFs and Crisis campaigns updated : fix for Gazelle on FARPS campaigns and Eagle over PG ...
A fix for Harrier and Hornet drivers :
Sadly there's a known bug with ejections for Hornet and Harrier drivers !
What ever you try it doesn't work !
We are looking for a permanent fix but waiting for it we found an interim solution :
- At mission start select Hornet/Harrier flight as usual
- Go inside cockpit with F1 as usual
- Quickly use ESC to change role
- Select Observer or any other role then FLY
- Finally quickly use ESC to change role and select Hornet/Harrier flight again... ejection should work now !
Thanks a zillion, PB0_CEF!!! We love your DCE Campaigns!

It's funny to see some of us trying to create rules after the contest is finished. Gents, let the organizers judge. I am sure they had their rules set since the beginning.
It's a waste of energy to be saying "do this" or "do that"...
Let it go and life is what it is...
They know how to judge their needs much better than us.
my two cents, anyway...
