Discussion of the Battle of Normandy Announcement
Frequent_Flyer replied to Jason_Williams's topic in General Discussion
Jason, Outstanding news on Normandy. I hope the PTO is still on the radar ,would love to see this " game engine " do it justice. I would pay twice the asking price, if you can include the P-51A ( 4 X 20mm) in the latest collector plane set. It fits the Normandy time frame. -
Mission Folders Not Showing in Game
Frequent_Flyer replied to Frequent_Flyer's topic in Mission Making and Mission Editor
Pilsner, You are absolutely correct, thanks for the help. Moved a mission I am working on into the "new Folder" and it did show up in game. Thank You for your follow up Jim. The " new folder " was empty. So it did not show up " in game ". -
Mission Folders Not Showing in Game
Frequent_Flyer replied to Frequent_Flyer's topic in Mission Making and Mission Editor
i most likely did not explain clearly. I make folders in : Windows(c)/Program files(X86)/IL-2 Sturmovic Battle of Moscow/data/missions For Example I have a folder I made called Luftwaffe in it I store all missions I create in the ME where I fly as a Luftwaffe pilot. It shows up in when I select" Missions " than click on " Luftwaffe " and select the name of a mission I want to fly. Now when I make the "new folder" within the above referenced ....data/mission folder the " new folder does not show up in game ? -
Hello All, Really enjoying the new map, planes etc. However I have an issue regarding folders not showing i game. Prior to the update I have made sub-folders within the Main mission folder ,within the game folder i.e Luftwaffe- East, VVS both of these show up " in game " as do all the missions stored there.. However, since the new release I create a " new folder ", but it does not show up " in game ". Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Radio Bearing Indicator

Thank You, setting to channel 1 did the trick, hard to see the indicator in the 38, you have to move the yoke. Thanks again. -

Same engine for P51 and Spit- low alt speed difference?
Frequent_Flyer replied to Bilbo_Baggins's topic in General Discussion
To truly appreciate how superior the P-51 design was consider the weight difference: P-51-25 Spit. LF mk.IX BF-109G-6 Empty: 7,125 5,800 5,900 Normal loaded: 10,100 7,500 6,950 -
You decide the validity of a source and than rewrite history. ... Not interested.Name a German aircraft that didn't perform well against the VVS. Hell the Brewster Buffalo had a better K/D ratio than the 110 against the VVS.
-
"doubtful and dubious" ,I did not quote a source,nor have you. The Hurricane is credited with more total kills than the Spitfire during the BOB. Does this make the Hurricane a better fighter ? The BOB lasted 6 months , the war lasted 5.5 years for the Luftwaffe. History tells the 110 was poor at what it was designed to do.
-
The Bf-110 and the Ju-87 were rendered obsolete during the BOB,in fact the 110 had the dubious distinction of needing a fighter escort . If the 110 did have better k/d ratio it would be because the 109 had no range and could barley engage before needing to return to base. The Luftwaffe was forced to use the 110. No myth, when the were used as intended as an interceptor against the bomber stream they were annihilated. However, like other poor designs including the Ju-87 it went on to be relatively successful against the VVS.

Slight correction the P-80 was originally designed by Bell,. Lockheed took over the project and kept the original Bell design.
