DCS Mosquito Night Flying Tutorial

Here's a quick tutorial about flying the de Havilland Mosquito at night in DCS World. Some tips about night flying in general, and some WW2 procedures that you will need to follow in 'V for Victory', my upcoming Mosquito campaign.

[@FanaticNYC]

My Grandfather was a Nightfighter in WW2, he was shot down in his JU88 by a Mosquito at Night. All Crew members of the Ju88 bail out and survived.

Absolutely amazing the level of realism you put on your campaign. All those procedure, even if they can seems fun killing at first, really puts you in the boots of those brave young men. Thanks for all your work.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Merci :) Yeah, this is (was) all part of flying, not just shooting and blowing stuff up.

[@MrVegetablemann]

Really looking forward to this campaign! Seems like it’s going to be very immersive.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

It will be, I promise :)

[@rararnanan7244]

This is awesome! Looking forward to flying your campaign.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thank you!

[@lostboy8814]

Cracking good tutorial Greg,many thanks for this,and as others,I'm really looking forward to the upcoming 'V for Victory Campaign.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks :)

[@spigot993]

Wasn't expecting a tutorial AND a campaign teaser, jolly good olde chap!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Haha, been teasing it for a while, check out my other Mossie tutorials ;)

[@BlueBaron3339]

Yes, to echo others, this is a previously unimaginable level of detail in World War Two simulation. Outstanding!

[@motoerhead1990]

HOLY F!! That is AMAZING! This campaing just brought me to buy the mosquito! Soo cool! And what an amount of hoops they had to jump throgh after being in the total dark for hours and getting fired up on and even might be damaged and wounded. And today they are complaning about there is no vegan alternativ on the diner around the corner... those people really been made out of other stuff

[@rudelchw]

Thanks for another excellent tutorial, I really enjoy them.

Thanks i'm always excited to see what's next :)

[@jimallison117]

Thanks for the useful and interesting information. Well done!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thank you!

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for making this tutorial for us.

[@colderwar]

This looks outstandingly well researched

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, I always do lot of research before making a campaign.

[@Wikkus]

Fascinating. I knew none of that. Kudos.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks! Glad I could teach you something new.

[@warbirds-blog]

Great info, THX for the vid!

[@kenmartin2173]

Dang, it's harder flying war birds now than jets. Bring it on!

[@kellerdominik7256]

Very very helpful thank you RS . I just got into the Mosquito

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Congrats, enjoy the wooden wonder! :)

[@ianboys1000]

Superb!

[@lankypilot778]

Morse code!? What are you doing to me, you know I can't multitask! lol. That's very neat, thank you. I didn't know how that all functioned. What a cool plane to have in DCS bringing all these unique things haven't seen before. Are you aiming for a november release you think mate?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

All these details will make the experience immersive :) Ah no way, I'm still waiting for DCS features to be implemented, such as delayed fuzes, Magnetic variation over the Channel map, an official skin template, etc...Until we have these the project is kinda stuck. I'm just testing and polishing the missions while waiting for these.

[@spigot993]

@@ReflectedSimulations on waiting for features, would the flare pistol get factored in? Currently not available.

[@lankypilot778]

@@ReflectedSimulations you know I love it haha, make me work up there! Thanks, I didn't know of those things, was trying to work out mag var & navigation so good to know. Appreciate all your hard work, take all the time need :) Would your Huey campaign be in same boat with Marianas map & waiting on few things to iron out?

[@lankypilot778]

@@spigot993 I'm liable to shoot my own face with that thing lol.. or my wingman

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@lankypilot778 nah, the Huey campaign is complete and it's on ED's table now.

[@flyguy1237]

How did I not know about the gamma setting? Does it let you see the ground on moonless nights or is it still pitch black when the gamma is turned up?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

It will be considerably darker but you can probably make ot the horizon. Give it a try.

[@facethefaceandmore44]

Sadly the chaps weren't allowed to hit the sack quite yet. They had to enjoy a coffee fuelled debriefing/interrogation afterwards for some time.

[@Bergie_78]

Amazing! How did you learn all this?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks. Lots of research, googling, and many books written by RAF night fighters/ bombers. Occasionally they would mention what they did with the lamps and eventually you get enough pieces of the jigsaw to figure it out. It may still not be 100% correct, but this is my most educated guess.

[@lordgirrit]

Is the night fighter skin custom just for your campaign? Thanks

[@edeltraudengel8388]

hi, my emergency light is not working, any ideas? thx

[@ReflectedSimulations]

What emergency light do you mean?

[@edeltraudengel8388]

​@@ReflectedSimulations hi, found the issue, it is not working in the multi thread dcs version. I meant the light in the cockpit which you can turn on even without the batterie on.

[@edeltraudengel8388]

​@@ReflectedSimulations and thx for the quick reply, cool

[@SVTL4799]

Have you been in touch with DCS developers? I’d love the identification system be part of the core game so you could have the tower respond instead of your flare work around!
