Allen,
I've seen this high altitude/slower speed phenomenon also. One solution is to adjust prop pitch/RPM as you would in real world A/C at higher altitudes. CFS2 seems to take air density at...

That's what I always thought, that it was because of it's size. I guess the milk jug reference could actually be the real reason. Either way, the size comparison chart is quite interesting.
I heard that pilots used to say "If you want to impress the ladies, fly a Mustang, if you wan to get home alive, fly a Jug".
If you've ever wondered why the P-47 was nicknamed "the Jug" here's a little something that popped up on my FB to help explain it.

Andy,
You are absolutely correct. As a flight sim community we do tend to center attention on the pilots. But the Battle of Britain was also fought by so many doing jobs that did not see them in...
Today, Sept 15th, 1940 the RAF began to turn the tide against the Luftwaffe in what was called The Battle of Britain. Brave pilots of the UK, Allied Nations and displaced pilots from occupied...
Stoney,
In my simpit I have rocker switches assigned as keystrokes for the three trim functions. One rocker for elevator up/down, and two others for aileron and rudder. I have found that while...

Electrical (Potentiometer) contact cleaner is your best bet. You can spray it on instead of having to get in with a Q-tip for alcohol. I use it on everything that has scratchy pots from audio...
HP,
First thing I would do is look at the axis assignments of all of the hardware in the CFS2 Controller Assignments tab. Make sure each axis is assigned to the proper function. If all this is...

Aussie, the warping solution only works if your flight is the bombers. Otherwise your escorting flight warps to the next way point but the AI bomber flight continues on a straight line and pops up...
I stopped the EA from spawning and it had no effect on the AI bombers. They continue straight past their turn way point after the attack. I also tried moving the after attack turn way point closer to...
I only mentioned the Stukas crashing when attacking ships. This is the reason I use JU-88's and DO-17's for anti-shipping attacks. The Stukas pull out fine when attacking land based targets. I will...
Here's a thought...is there any way to get she ships to sink slower? That way the extended smoke and fire time is not wasted and the ships will sink at a more realistic speed after being hit.
Heide, I will try the other Stukas suggested by Uncle target. Maybe that will be better for dive bombing ships. As far as the warping, that will work if your flight is doing the bombing but not if...
Dover docks and town on fire a good 10 minutes after the attack 90629
Skylane, that's the results I got when trying the warp to solution. The only thing I can find is the Catagory set in the AI aircraft DP file. Cat3 for AI dive bombers gives you this problem in land...
Absolutely the best remix of Ron Goodwin's Aces High March from the movie The Battle of Britain 1966. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5IeSjLkCsM
But the real star of this video is the absolutely...
Nice effects, work well with my ETO campaigns.
Heide, I will try the warp-to waypoints as an alternative. There's a lot about the way the sim operates that I still don't understand so I'm not sure what effect that will have since the AC that...
Aussie, I'm using the Alphasim Ju87 D-3.
DW, please seek treatment. No job is worth working yourself to death. I lost my dad to CHF. He was active all his life and even went to the YMCA at 5AM, 3 days a week to workout at the age of 85....
DW, the Vals are a Cat10 while the Stukas are a Cat3. I believe this explains why the Vals glide bomb and the Stukas roll over and dive straight down on the target. I switched the Stukas to Cat10 and...
OK, substituted the stock Val for the Stuka and here's what I got:
Vals pass the attack waypoint, turn around then hit the target from the opposite direction in a glide bombing manner (they don't...
Aussie,
That was going to be my next test. But here's the strange thing. This problem only cropped up after I got the Stukas to dive straight down on the target instead of glide bombing which they...
