  1. I'm a US plane snob, and as such I've flown A LOT of US fighters since my first days in il2 FB..... The P-40 gets some work done if you fly it like an energy fighter, but it also has some nice tricks up its sleeve. It can turn pretty well, but it's sustained turn rate isn't as good as fighters with better power. It can outdive anything it'll come across on the enemy side. It can carry decent ordnance for a/g attacks - a big ol' bomb and rockets plus .50's and extra ammo? Lastly, it's from the US, so it's tough as heck. If you stick to boom and zoom tactics you'll do well, and then use its initial turn and fantastic dive capabilities as escape tools. Be mindful that it bleeds energy rapidly in the horizontal due to it's lack of power and decent wing loading. Try not to get tricked into the turn fight. In fact try not to get sucked into an energy fight either unless you started with the initial advantage. I heard the 202 flies really nice, but the guns stink. I have it, but being a US plane snob I have only flown it once. It flew pretty well, and I tried to shoot down a bomber, and guess what? The guns stink lol..... ~S
  2. I spotted this little pic on the internet this past week. Can't remember what I was looking for, but I noticed it was a P-38 being set upon by this BF109. Jerry, don't get used to this, when I get my hands on the ol' Fork Tail Devil it'll be a different picture taken lol...... /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://i.imgur.com/nwjmnOE.png&key=cdc20f2e54987778c9b5266e4fd42b92866bd220b4370cd44d314251d17238f1">
  3. Not the same as the other post, this one is equally impressive but geared for fools like us: /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://i.imgur.com/WIdUba5.jpg&key=e893ac72a545879ee130e87492cdd239486f03f0e7ec1a1afededb417d81e57c">
  4. Hi, I feel like a dingdong posting on here in my old tags. Can one of the Admins change my name to Gunfighter_72, or if I am allowed to as a "probie" change it to WW_Gunfighter? If I need to just make a new profile to do so just delete this one for me and have someone tell me on comms so I can come re-register in whichever name is appropriate. Thank you in advance!! ~S
  5. So TS is better for DCS in my opinion, here's why - Universe Radio...... I swear I'm not an advertising for Tacno lol. UR is a radio program that works with TS to provide a pretty realistic experience. The radios have three channel bands and are set to work with almost all of the modules, and for the ones that Tacno doesn't have included specifically he has made a function called "external radio" that works as like a "universal comms" - it mirrors all of the same stuff that UR does in planes that aren't supported, usually alpha and pre-beta releases. It costs $7. It simulates terrain mask/line of sight, it simulates decaying signal strength, you get feedback when you step on someone using the same freq. It's especially helpful when you have a pile of fools pooping comms up; I have seen 355th up for an ops night with 25 pilots, imagine that on either TS or Discord??? FYI I believe the Discord stuff is only channel separation, about like TS and making a new room. I love UR. I have it set up to match my throttle buttons, and so I have UHF, HF, and VHF on three different buttons. I simply mash the button for the radio I wish to speak on and my Xmission goes out. I have my headphones set up VHF left ear, HF right ear, UHF both ears. Works like a charm. Lastly, there is another mod made by a friend of Tacno's, it's called LotATC. It's an ATC simulator, I know, not that glamorous, but some people like that sort of stuff! It also buddies up with UR and supports the stock aircraft IFF panels.....ED isn't even doing that yet! Planes can't interrogate each other, but the ATC can tell what you are and if you are squawking abnormal codes, like in flight emergency status. I've seen it work on A-10 (perfectly), the Harrier and Huey (ident only). Now for LotATC it's only something that needs to be purchased if you are going to be doing the ATC thing, otherwise your planes/helicopters will squawk since you'd have UR. LotATC was $9 if I remember. Here's a link to UR. A word, you will have to reinstall TS as an admin and set it to run as admin. Make sure to not be on TS when you install the UR, and run the installer as admin. If you don't do this you will have issues, remember I said that. It's not the easiest to get running right, but once you have it running it's more or less on autopilot. Also Tacno himself is very into supporting his customers and is easily accessible via email. I know this from experience as I am very computer dumb and had to get help. http://tacnoworld.fr/ There is another one, a free one, called Simple Radio. It's lame, don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise. A lot of people are using it because it's free, but it is for sure an inferior product, and so far with DCS, like guns and cars, you get what you pay for eh? ~S
