New Hornet video today...this one gets you to the carrier, the actual approach comes later. Combining them in one super long video is too much imo.

Hi Requiem, your videos are excellent, I learn with them but I don't get the best performance from them, since my English and I think that of many Spanish-speaking communities is low, you could add generic subtitles in Spanish. Although the translations are not entirely correct, they will help us to find out more things. The first 8 videos of basic principles of flight, if they are with subtitles and everything is perfectly understood, although if you could not or did not feel comfortable doing it anyway, thank you very much, watching you also learn. great job and have a nice weekend

Yeah the first 8 videos a community member submitted captions in Spanish. I've added an option for automatic translation for the videos so let me know if you can see them and if they're accurate or not

At the moment the ones I have seen, allow automatic translation. The translations are quite correct and it is well understood. Thank you very much again sir

Video now public for everyone covering the Ju 88 C-6

If anyone's struggling with the Gotha you'll be fine after this one:

Thanks, correcting yaw with ailerons is key here.

And it was the reason why I crashed each time after take off 'cause I tried to correct with rudder before I watched this vid.

 

Have a nice day.

Arado 234 video is done. Video showing dive bombing technique using the periscope is coming.

 

 

[Trooper117]

So where is it?

Joking of course. Just getting ready to jump in the Arado and your first offering will hopefully keep me from blowing it up or crashing it. Hopefully.

So thanks for that tutorial. Keep up the good work.

There's some things I want to add/change to it that add historical context.

~S~ Requiem !

 

Do you plan on a training video for the Me-410 ?  Thanks in advance.

 

 

[JG_deserteagle540]

Thanks a lot for the arado 234 dive bombing video.

It really helped me a lot.

 

By the way, what a beast to fly for bombing targets!

[Requiem]

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

 

[BladeMeister]

Merry Christmas Requiem!

Hope you and your family have a Blessed Christmas Day Sir. Thanks for all your hard work maintaining and expanding your tutorials. Your channel is always a first stop for me when venturing into a new plane or trying to learn tactics. Haven't tried wing tipping yet, so maybe tomorrow I will have a go!!! ?

Thanks Blade ? It's a good challenge, but half the battle can be seeing the tiny blighters in the first place!

New video out today:

 

 

[Requiem]

New one today...I really like how these videos turn out, but the amount of shots it takes kills me ?

(and yeah...flows etc are on the way)

Watched this last night, good stuff... looking forward to the next one!

[Requiem]

Here's how to operate the Mosquito. What you learn here should translate to the Il-2 Mosquito other than some differences in takeoff behaviour. These use my flow guides so you can download them here if you need to.

Hey Requiem.

Your videos have been my learning method for IL2. Thanks for making everything so understandable and expanding my mind!
The BFM videos especially helped! I hope if I go for a real flying license someday that I have instructors like you!

I don't own the IAR80 so I'm unable to at the moment

So theoretically if you owned the IAR80 you would consider doing a tutorial for it Sir?

Hi everyone,

  
My new channel is live and can be found at The Air Combat Tutorial Library  If you want to reach me directly and connect with like minded pilots for helping new pilots in the flight sim community you can also join my discord here if you like: https://discord.gg/TgW8RWK I also have a Patreon if you wished to show support what I do which is here: https://www.patreon.com/RequiemsACTL

 

Releasing these videos would be a lot harder if I didn't have a few helpers who have been reviewing what I've been making so far for fixes and improvements, so thanks to Bill, Eric, Pete, Nate, and Robey for volunteering your time and expertise to help make these videos better! These new videos have annotations, which are buttons I've added to the video that you can click on. They are pretty obvious, so if you wanted to watch a certain section, replay a section, or skip something altogether, just click on it and you will be taken where you need to go.  Also, just for your info: Subscribers get emails as soon as the videos are made public and I update these sorts of posts later on, so if you like them please subscribe because it gives me an idea of people's interest. I enjoy the process of making them and knowing people benefit from them is very satisfying.

 

Anyway, I hope you like them and feedback is very much encouraged on inaccuracies/improvements/suggestions etc. I have a long list to make, but if there is anything in particular you want to see let me know and I'll see what I can do.

This is a new TIR profile from me which I've tested in in BoS, CloD, and RoF, and I'm happy that with how it performs in all three sims. The big thing I've done is the implementation of slight deadzones towards the end of head movement to avoid you moving your head far enough to get the view stuck in position at the end of its range. It's hard to describe what I mean, but it's basically a hard deadzone mixed in with a soft deadzone to make looking around feel more natural. This is basically a whole new profile across all six axes, but I'll list the changes to three of the most important axes below:

 

Yaw - You will notice a change in the 'yaw' axis when you look left and right. It won't take you to the full 180 degree position in-game but will actually stop at about 150 degrees, so for example when you look left to check your six oclock the view won't let you see completely out the other side, and yet it doesn't hinder your ability to check six at all. This means that the axes are limited in their range a little bit, but to me looking around in-game actually feels like it is a head instead of pivoting around a point in the cockpit. I always disliked how looking to my six would inevitably show the entire back of the cockpit which made it look flat, so I really like these changes.

 

Pitch - Added the little deadzones, but I've made it easier to look up and down without the issue of getting stuck at the ends of TIR's range. Looking up is faster initially, but slower towards the end to make it better to check above you and as part of a high six oclock check. Looking down is easier so you can check the instruments you need.

 

X axis - Added the little deadzones and made it easier to slide left and right in the cockpit, but the deadzone on this axis is slightly larger to prevent the out of body experience you can have with the canopy open.

 

I use a speed of 1 and smoothness of 30 with this profile. Edit the profile as you please.

 

Defaults:

• Center - Mouse button 5 (thumb mouse button)
• Pause - CTRL+F9
• Precision - CTRL+F7
• Profile - CTRL+F12 (not enabled)
• All axes - Enabled
• Trueview - Off

 

 

 

I have used this profile for some time with zero issue, Long story short I built a new pc recently and have been putting off setting up all the flight stuff, last night I set it all up and have everything good to go but having issues with the X axis with the Track IR profile now.. When I look behind and slide left and right its inverted and when looking forward its normal. If i check the invert check box on Track IR software it fixes looking behind but inverts forwards side to side slide. I know it can be the way I am wanting it to be because thats how it always was and even on the default profile in Track IR its fine, I even compared the default and the Req Feb 21 profile and all the boxes seem to be checked the same. I can not seem to figure this out for the life of me and I can not retrain my lazy stuck in its ways almost 40 year old brain to do this inverted especially when looking backwards. I have the latest Track IR version (5.5.3) and as mentioned above it works the way I would like it with the crappy fefault Track IR profile, one I use for ATS, and another for Star Citizen just not for the Requiem profile.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this or have any ideas what may be causing it? Thanks in advance 

 

Requiem, Sorry I posted basically the same thing on your YouTube channel, just getting frustrated trying to fix something I do not know much about and I cant find much info on my exact issue even asking AI was a bust lol. 

 

EDIT: Someone on Reddit said to try and switch from pan to centered and then back to pan in the in game camera settings and that seems to have fixed it somehow! Sorry for the bother everyone!! Thanks to GreatOdinsBeard for a fast response and working solution!
