SOLIDKREATE Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 EXCELLENT. I always crash the 110. At about 200kph I pull up but the plane noses into the grass despite being trimmed for take off.
dburne Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Excellent news Chuck, your guides are superb - thank you for all you do for the community!
Chuck_Owl Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Updated the Spitfire, Hurricane and Blenheim guides to include some improvements. The Blenheim autopilot guide has been partially rewritten (might be completely rewritten when I find the time) and now comes with new useful features in section 11 (Bombing Tutorial) like the "Autopilot Operation Table", the "Bombsight Operation Table" and the "Bomber Boy's Numpad" to help you know what control I map to which key without making it too difficult to remember. These changes were made so german bombing tutorials are easier to understand as well. 1
Chuck_Owl Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Progress is coming along nicely. The axis bomber guides (He-111H-2, Ju-88A-1 and BR.20M) are gonna be quite interesting... the more I read about it the more I realize how little most of us know about these intricate and fascinating machines. 1
Pajeka Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks Chuck! I really appreciate all your hard work (not just CoD) and I really look forward to the finished article!!

Lusekofte Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Great work, mate, this stuff will make you immortal . Splendid work
Mastermariner Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Excellent guides, thank you very much Chuck! However the 111 have one feature, not very important, but since it's there, its possible to open the hatch over the pilot and rise the seat so that the pilots head is outside, in the same time a windbreaker window appears in front of the pilot. Cool feature IMHO. See for yourself at 10:50 in this video Master
Chuck_Owl Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks, Mariner.But I highly doubt it was remotely useful during flight. And no, I didn't forget my italian friends... here is the BR.20! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20586543/Cliffs%20of%20Dover%20BR20.pdf
Mastermariner Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 As I understand it was used if windows' fogged over or at night when external lights can cause the effect of a kaleidoscope in the cockpit. But perhaps not important in a game. Master
jaydee Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks, Mariner.But I highly doubt it was remotely useful during flight.

Mastermariner Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) This, raising the pilot seat is not for use in ground maneuvers?Even Wikipedia got this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_111#cite_ref-Dressel_.26_Griehl_1994.2C_p._34_28-6 "The pilot's seat could actually be elevated, with the pilot's eyes above the level of the upper glazing, complete with a small pivoted windscreen panel, to get the pilot's head above the level of the top of the "glass tunnel" for a better forward view for takeoffs and landings." Edit: I have known this since the 1960s when I built plastic models, I'm just surprised Oleg's team when trough the effort to implement this but it is the greatest and presumably the last flight simulator in our time. Master Edited April 28, 2015 by Mastermariner
Chuck_Owl Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Then what is the key binding I need to find? I looked through all the controls... can't find anything that would help me look outside...
Chuck_Owl Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 @Mastermariner: I added one page in the Aircraft Familiarization Section about the hatch thing. :D Page 23. 1

Master How did this effect the use of the controls? Did the pilot have to stretch to use them in the seat up position? Chief

Mastermariner Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Thank you Chuck! I really appreciate that you take your time for this, and it's really a very neat feature that, in a way, shows how close the 111 was to the WW1 era bombers. @Chief, not sure about that but at least what was necessary for landing and takeoff was available to him. Master
nadasero Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Hi, I just found the question about the controls for the hatch. In my german version its in the second page of the settings (I think it's called common). The german name for the hatch is Kabinendach. In the second area are three possible keys. Toggle open and close door open door close door I used the O-Key for this functions. In the ini-file it can be found here: [HotKey common] O=door_toggle Shift O=door_close Control O=door_open Nadasero 2
Sokol1 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) How did this effect the use of the controls? Did the pilot have to stretch to use them in the seat up position? Chief The pedals, control column and left console is raised together with seat.

Chuck_Owl Posted May 9, 2015 Author Posted May 9, 2015 For bombers, I did some fuel consumption tests and I re-wrote the fuel loadout procedures. Rather than evaluate your max range with range values found on the Internet that do not specify the aircraft configuration/loadout, now the range is estimated using fuel consumption values @ max military power. It is closer to what you'd expect and has a certain level of conservatism that I deem acceptable.Also corrected a couple of typos, format glitches, oh and I added some explanation on the crossfeed valve for the Blennie... stuff like that.I think this version is close enough to being final.
J2_Trupobaw Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Finally, thank you! I mean... how did I overlook this thread for over a month?I've been missing these (and surprised they don't exist yet) ever since I saw your BoS/DCS guides, I am glad you decided to fill this gap . 1
