Bengal Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Old CLOD here and just started DCS. Got the P-51/Normandy/WW2 set-up and am loving it. I also bought the Bodney campaign but am having trouble with a few things: 1. I can't keep up with the AI P-51's in my flight. We have to climb out to 23k and no matter what I do I fall behind. I'm using the fuselage tanks first and the supercharger kicks in about 16 or so. Engine is set for about 2900 RPM's and 50 or so manifold. Even when I cheat and start out ahead of the other flight.....they leave me in the dust and it screws up the mission. Thoughts? 2. My kneeboard actions are assigned to a hot key but only appear half the time I want it to. Can't figure out why. 3. About half the time my cockpit pointer wont activate anything.....just sits there as a cross. I have to re-start my computer to make it work. Is that a bug or is my rig just struggling? Thanks for the help....excited to join this group. Parker in Louisiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 1) AI uses different physics... Falling behind is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, by the way, AI is allowed to use 61/3000 for max climbing.

grafspee Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Btw you can climb 61/3000 no problem in p51. Long level flight is dangerous for longer preiods but not climb.

71st_AH Rob Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You can switch the cross back to normal with the middle mouse button if I remember. This might also be part of your problem with the kneeboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
