oneeyeddog Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 In an effort to become better at navigation I put together a little chart that will give the approximate times to cross one 10Km box grid on the Big Map. Maybe someone else could find it useful. 175 kph = 3 min 26 sec 200 kph = 3 min. 225 kph = 2 min 40 sec 250 kph = 2 min 24 sec 275 kph = 2 min 11 sec 300 kph = 2 min 325 kph = 1 min 51 sec 350 kph = 1 min 43 sec 375 kph = 1 min 36 sec 400 kph = 1 min 30 sec 425 kph = 1 min 25 sec 450 kph = 1 min 20 sec 475 kph = 1 min 16 sec 500 kph = 1 min 12 sec 525 kph = 1 min 9 sec 550 kph = 1 min 5 sec 8
-805-DNA-Decay Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Guess what this thing is used for? "My eyes are dim I cannot see, I have not got my E-6B with me, over the Valley of the Ruhr". (World War II USAAC ditty) "His computer is the instrument on which he stakes his life ... Don’t ask for his computer, for he’d sooner lend his wife". (Navigator's Song, 1943)
39bn_pavig Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 The soviets originally used the NL-10M I believe. (I couldn't find the exact model but this is close: Can't find the one the germans used at the moment. Have it filed away here somewhere... Hmmm

Gustaf Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Try "The Bombsight Table" software that was very handy in the old IL2. It can be used as a overlay also. http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=317 Edited February 10, 2015 by gustaf

Finkeren Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Just don't forget to factor in wind speed.

(I couldn't find the exact model but this is close: Can't find the one the germans used at the moment. Have it filed away here somewhere... Hmmm NL-10M is post WWII(1986). At time are used the NL-7 (virtual version in flash): http://www.pumaszallas.hu/images/stories/elmelet_navigacio/nl7/nl7_v3.swf Germans use Dreieckrechner disk. Heres a virtual (virtual version in flash) DR-2. http://www.pumaszallas.hu/images/stories/elmelet_navigacio/dr_tarcsa_swf/dr3v10.swf Both in full size here: http://clodtools.weebly.com/ Sample of DR-2 practical use in game: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/14133-wind-angle-dr-2/ E6B is not practical to use in game because is in imperial system, and so demands additional conversion for metric system used by Luftwaffe and VVS planes. The Bombsite Table for il-2 1946 is for calculate TAS and the drop angle, both no need in BoS - are automatic calculated based on IAS and altitude inputs on bombsight.

The virtual DreieckRechner is really cool.
