+1 for the Skyraider. Would be a blast. Nam map would be needed for proper fit though.

Good stuff Bunyap. Hoping you do a series on the P-51 in the near future.

Is there an actual clickable switch/knob in the cockpit for the tactical drop switch? I can't seem to find it. I just rely on the keyboard command.

Same here. I'll drop bombs. Then switch pylons to Kh-66 and it immediately fires a missile without me pulling the trigger.

No problem. Glad you got it working.

It's probably happening because you didn't move your throttle first. What I do is move my throttle all the way up, then all the way back down to idle. Then you hold the Home key until your Gas Producer hits 40 or so. Then let go. Once it's powered up - push your throttle all the way back to max and you should be ready to go.

I've found Track IR to be a pain in the ass at times. It really has a mind of its own. Right now it's working pretty well but every now and then it acts up. Plus I can't use it during the day due to the light I get in my apartment. I don't want to bash the product because it seems to work for a lot of people but it does seem rather primitive.

God I hope we get the Phantom one day. I love it's look. It's like ugly and beautiful at the same time.

what time of day would I find the most people on this server? Was looking for a good fight last night but there was nobody on the server. Was probably around midnight Pacific Time.

Actually you guys are right - IL-2 BOS looks quite nice. How much action is there multiplayer? Lots of people on or not yet? If you were to choose - which would you pick between IL-2 and Rise of flight? Kinda twisted on the purchase and buying both would be pointless do to available time to play them.

Recently tried MP. It was fun but damn it was laggy at times. Especially near the airports where lots of other players were flying and taxing. Do you guys typically reduce graphic settings when going MP? Does that help at all or or is the lag pretty much just from the connection.

Lol I've never seen someone so excited about the SU-22!

Based on the Mig-21 - I am sure any mod these guys do is gonna be top-class. However I think Belsimtek are the Heli masters. They have a lot of experience with choppers and it would probably be easier for them to keep doing that. I'd think Leatherneck should stick with fast movers. Maybe other Russian birds like Mig-23, Su-24,etc..

I've looked into this but isn't it only World War 1 aircraft? Not that it wouldn't be fun if it were. I think I was gonna buy Rise of Flight at one point but the prices looked excessive to me. Il-2 Stalingrad is probably next on my purchase list - especially if the multiplayer fills up.

Thanks for the help. I actually already have Il-2 1946 but I've never been successful in getting it to run on Windows 8.1 I'll try it again. I got on DCS multiplayer and found it pretty fun. However there aren't a lot of players on there. The dogs of war server was actually empty. I guess my dream would be the amount of people who used to be in Air Warrior but on DCS multiplayer. It would be pretty sweet to have a DCS arena filled with 100+ World War 2 birds. I

I was bouncing all over the place on my landings when i first started the p-51. The key is to do an overly pronounced flare when you're about to touch down. I thought my flare was enough but it wasn't. You really need to pull the stick back to the point where it seems excessive. That way you land on all three wheels and don't bounce.

I used to play Air Warrior back in the day - it was incredibly fun. I swear I played that game probably 10 hours straight at times. I'm looking for something like that to play online again. I noticed there are a few options out there to choose from including War Thunder, Aces High II, Wings of Prey, Warbirds, etc... Any recommendations here? War Thunder looks hella unrealistic to me but graphically quite nice. I'm looking for the most realistic option here but one that also has enough players at all times of the day. I'm sure once DCS Europe comes out - there will be tons of players on there but until then - any recommendations would be awesome!

Thanks guys. I'll try the suggestions this weekend.

Key for me was pulling the stick back during my takeoff roll. Before I did that I would veer to the left and die a horrible death every time. Now I can successfully take off almost every time. Main problem now is trying to stay near the center line. It's really hard with the poor vision in the P-51. Even more difficult when landing. Although this is probably the only plane I have ever flown that is actually easier to land than take off.

Any suggestions on how to prevent the track IR camera from losing site of the clip on my hat? I placed it directly on top of my monitor at head level. It's probably 24 inches from me. Mainly having problems with pitch but it's pretty jerky in general. I'd move it further in front of me but I can't due to my wall! I'm using Track IR 5. Any help would be great! Thanks

Bloody hell, same problem here! Not working after the recent update.

I agree with Raven on everything. Honestly if a full Nam map came out - I probably wouldn't play anything else. It would be awesome. I think we still have hope for a Vietnam map by a Third Party once Edge comes out. Crossing my fingers.

I doubt they will give us control of individual infantry units. Not that it wouldn't be interesting but then we are kinda going into the realm of COD and ARMA. With infantry - I'd like to see troops being transported on the Mi8 and UH-1 we already have. On transport planes would be cool too if and when we get one.

VEAO has half the aircraft ever made on their list.

Or we if we could somehow get the Falcon BMS model in DCS.
