DCS: de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito FB Mk VI Discussion

I'll buy this plane if we get German submarines and merchant vessels. The Med would be the perfect playground for the Mosquito so I hope that's one of the maps being developed.

Regarding the load out of the FB what arrangement of arsenal could be loaded.

I know it could carry the following:

Bomb Bay:

2 x 250lb

2 x 500lb

Wings:

8 x RP-3 I have seen images of 4 abreast and 4 stacked.

2 x 500lb

2 x 50 Gal Tank

2 x 100 Gal Tank

The question is what array could be carried?

I.e. Bomb Bay 2 x 500lb, 8 x stacked RP-3 and 2 x 100 Gal Tanks?

German vessels and submarines are planned to WW2 assets pack

Any news?

Not right now, I think the focus is on the Anton right now, with the P-47 close behind. But I am as eager as anyone to get in that Mossie :)

WOW JUG so soon, yes!:thumbup:

No problem. The Anton and the Jug will tide us over nicely while waiting for the Mossie to drop. :thumbup:

Uhhh....hngg....I would chose differently...:music_whistling:

That sounds promising (not promised), Man I am psyched for the jug!!!

Yes there is a company in New Zealand, I believe ,that rebuilt a combat veteran Mossie, and in doing that, having made the necessary wing and fuselage jigs, now are building new build mossies, using the original plans. I saw a very interesting post, and there are many you tube videos of them.

I would like to see night fighter versions of the Mossie and bf110 with radar operators. Then add some AI bombers on each side.

 

Fun stuff.

Me too. I would even pay F-18 price for a fighter and night fighter variant of the Mossie.

Carried similar payload to Berlin as a B17

Was 100mph faster than a B17 at 400mph.

Twin Merlins, what more could you want?

Carrier landings Mosquito

PZ474 is the famous recent build.

This was her first flight

Seeing the mossie fly in NZ was one of my most favourite moments in an air show (ever), can still see and hear it as it was beating up the airfield at the end of the show

Not much info recently on the Mosquito, I wonder how the old girl is coming along?

getting the P-47 going,

That is what i like to read.

Can anyone remind me what merlin engines FB MKVI had?

Merlin 21s or Merlin 25s

finishing the A-8 and getting the P-47 going

Absolute fabulousness in the air then. :thumbup:

I believe focus is on finishing the A-8 and getting the P-47 going, but the AI version of the Mosquito is starting to buzz the skies of our internal versions.

Thanks for the info.

So my understanding is the Mosquito will have a PFM but with simplified systems modelling?, and if it sells a lot of modules this may change to a full blown simulated module post release, right?

Also is it planned to have multi-crew on the Mosquito? if so that would be jaw dropping! and would be a first for the WW2 stable, it could well be a huge selling point for the module!

Either way a day one purchase for me, not been looking forward to a module so much as this one since the Spitfire was first hinted at way back!! :D

No, AI mosquito is plane flown only by artificial inteligence, is not ment for players, i assume that, it has very little common with plane for players.

Yeah I know, I was talking about the one that will be released to us prob next year, not the AI one Sith was talking about.

ok, but anyway it is hard to immagine for me, simplified module like mosquito, those planes are already simplified modules,99% of dificulty is to learn how to fly it, or learn how to use weapons by practising.

If ED put PFM in this plane it will be already full scaled module even when some systems will function automaticly.

Only start up procedure sometime problem but only for ppl which didnt read this part of manual, if they did read it start up is painfull easy in war birds

as far as I know it will be full clickable cockpit with systems modelled.
