      @The Black Baron Throughout most of the video, due to you speaking very casually and fast and skipping over the pronunciation of alot of words you were essentially mumbling. For me to understand what you were saying I literally had to max the volume (no big deal), play it at 75% speed and consistently repause and play over and over during like the first 5 minutes or so of the video. It all seemed like an interesting concept but then I realised I looked like a forensic investigator going over an audio clip. I got annoyed, stopped myself and responded. I admit my "shit video" comment was rude so sorry but yeah this is why. Anyway do your thing or w/e, cya.

    At max T/O weight lift off speed of the Mossie was around 120-125 knots, but Vmca was 175 Knots IAS and it took almost 50 seconds to get the gear up and accelerate through Vmc on a summer day. The only thing to do if an engine failed below 175 knots was to reduce power on the live engine! And you had to do it very quickly!

And the euphoric feeling you described sounds like the similar feeling that some divers experience at depth, nitrogen narcosis (getting narc’d). Ain’t science grand??

    DCS does seem to have a multiplayer population problem in the WWII server's.
    It also depends highly on the time of day.
    Try multiplayer in DCS WWII as soon as you can. Obviously learn cockpit, take off and landing but within a day or two of buying a plane you can be in multiplayer like me. You might be terrible like me, but playing against the AI doesn't feel the same. Not saying the AI is bad now, but we need a lot more people in the WWII server's.
    Edit:
    You don't need to be good at dog fighting to play in multiplayer. I just usually play as a fighter-bomber and dive bomb bridges or buildings in a multiplayer server and usually end up crash landing safely, most of the time. Getting a bullet in the radiator usually means you have about ten minute's worth of coolant or oil before the engine power slowly dies.
    I have no experience in air cooled radial aircraft in DCS.

They hardly have anyone in them. I just want to jump into a server at any time and for it to have more than ten people inside.
      I came from IL-2 Box and I don't think I could go back after spending so much time learning each WWII plane I own. It cost's a lot as well. It just doesn't seem to be drawing in the player base like IL-2 does. And even IL-2 struggles sometimes, I used to notice.
      I'm tempted to go back or just play IL-2 when DCS is quiet.
      Hopefully the player base will build up if we all make RUclips videos about DCS and show everyone how amazing, realistic, immersive, fun and rewarding it is. Especially the current WWII content, and who doesn't want to fly an Apache night mission in the Middle East with night vision display and the 30mm belt fed cannon. I'm very tempted to get the Huey next!
      It's also just too expensive for most people I guess. Hardware, PC etc.
