Thanks for reply Gambit... Fully understand what you are saying. No criticism of your fine effort here intended. I do know what you mean regards the immersive nature of doing the flying. Something very satisfying about formation flying in the Havoc. It would be good for the game to give you the choice on jump to action or just speeding up one leg etc. Ironically it means I would play the game more often as I could be confident of enjoying shorter slots... For example between the kids going in the bath and then drying their hair 🙄😜🤣

Love the atmospherics you have created here and beautiful use of the map. Only thing that prevents me playing more is the inability of the game engine to compress time. I simply cannot spend 30 mins just waiting to get to the action so frustrating. Anyway many thanks for this and hopefully one day I will get to fly it all if the devs can ever introduce meaningful time compression!

Yes I would agree.... However mission briefing states to maintain 800m which is the cloud ceiling.... I guess I might need to use common sence

Thanks for replies folks all very useful and interesting.... pretty sure the opposing aircraft in mission 2 are Yaks and the AI was really hot on my ass! .... Im doing some more training in the F2 first following your suggestions before I re attempt it Cheers!

Thank you .... I did begin to watch them last night ..... steep learning curve!

So Im not new to combat flight sims but I would say I have a lot to learn regards tactics in dogfights! In mission 2 of BlackSix’s Ten Days of Autumn Im escorting a JU52 at 800m and we are jumped by a large force of enemy fighters. Im really struggling to maintain enough energy to close on the enemy fighters…. Im beginning to get the hang of split S turns etc but with so many enemies perhaps Im over reacting. In a 4 on one fight at low level in a 109 F2 (engine management full auto) what would you folks suggest ….. extend away and try for height first? … Am I wasting time trying to turn with them? …. Should I just try to escape?

Thank the lord ... a radio off switch ... no more incoherent screaming followed by a panic to turn the volume down fast !!

Hi folks ... searches seem to suggest that this is a known limitation in the game engine but just wanted to check. Aircraft seen looking down at them with thick cloud below them more than say 500m away have a strange blurred bobbling effect around them .... ?? Any setting changes that might minimise this ?

Just in case I have missed anything recently developed or any mods .... are there any workarounds for long flight times as x8 doesn't help much on a busy map!

Massive hats off to the Devs for the last update especially the AI tweeks … Ive moaned for years about the AI but you have really done some amazing things on this now folks …. Congratulations!! Last major feature for me, and from what I can gather many would like this, is time compression improvements for the long flights especially in bombers. Much as I would love to sometimes I just don’t have time to sit there that long and the current time compression doesn’t seem to speed things up much … even on a reasonable spec machine. It frustrating as I would spend much more time in the game (in short bursts) if there was some form of jump to action or next waypoint. I assume there are technical reasons that this is not an option but I sincerely hope some thought is being given to it. But overall folks this is now a stunning sim …. Something I always dreamed of J Merry Christmas to you all

Thanks Charon Im fixed !! need to unbind those two you mentioned ..... 👍

Thanks Charon ..... I did mess about with those keybindings ..... I will double check when I get home and see what I have for those .... appreciate the advice

Thanks Sputnik .... thats what I thought but if I reset all bindings to default then it should not be a problem should it ? .... but it is 😩

Hi all Im really sorry to ask but I have searched everywhere to answer my specific question but .... I can move to a turret ok ... I can take control ok ... I can swing the gun around with mouse ok ... BUT .. when I nestle to gun-sight suddenly the whole world just swings around like its drunk ... the mouse responds but its just all over the place and Im not looking down the gun-sight. Tried resetting mapping to all defaults but no change ... happens in all turreted AC .... any help much appreciated

Gotta say NickM you are spot on that was definite improvement ..... hats off they really have done some work on this .... I take it all back ... thanks for putting me straight on this!
