Can anyone address the issues that I am having now? Flew the plane without following correct procedures.

- The virtual HuD is not working.

- I don't know how to read the speedometer gauge if it's located at second from the top left (altmeter, manifold pressure, temperatures etc all fine). Yes I flew the plane without actually knowing the speed and thus landed with excess speed.

- There isn't a lever or any indicator to show if the flaps are fully deployed or retracted cos they're hidden from pilot view at bottom. Need to use ext cams F2-F4 which is similar to DCS.

HUD: Go to SETTINGS/FLIGHT INTERFACE. Select  the drop down arrow for instrument panel and choose FULL.

 

SPEEDOMETER is second from right, top and is measured in tens - so 10 would be 100KMPH.  150 would be 150 KMPH. 20 would be 200KMPH and so on. Try turning on instrument lights to make it easier to see the dials. It helped me.

 

I'm not sure if you saw it or not or just don't recognize what the dial is, but the FLAP dial is om the left hand side about 8 o'clock position from the dial with the orange center. It's not easy to see, but you should be able to make out the needle enough to gt an estimate on your flaps. Straight down is 30 degrees and to the far right is 60 degrees of flap. Again instrument lights ON will help.

 

Have you bound forward and back head movement? It helps to get closer to the dials when trying to read them.

did anyone else see the artillery & flak?

 

North-east, uh? I'm gonna go find them ASAP! Have you tried to fly into them?

(I'm thinking of those simulated detonations from ROF... so awesome!)

Hello MysticPuma, long time no see (I remember your vids with CLoD and WoP)

 

I notice you all have my same issue: when hitting F3 for a flyby camera, the game is not perfectly fluid, it stumbles in occasional yet annying microfreezes

And now we know why it's called "ghost riding the plane". This image made me laugh, +1 for you.

What time was it in those shots, Furbs?

Thanks, great help. Now I know where the Flaps dial is thanks to SYN_Requiem's post at http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/2220-labeled-lagg-3-cockpit/ .

 

For the HUD, I'd already set it to FULL. The in-game menu is very simple.which is good. Can see from my video the HUD did not display anything. Anyhow I can rely on HUD-less cockpit, doing fine with DCS P-51D. It would be nice if BoS can force 100% realism on the multiplayer server setting like there shouldn't be HUD at all.

 

Yea, another point I forgot to raise is zoom out/in head movement, I's actually tried to map it to one of my sliders on my throttle like what I did in WT or DCS but it didn't work. Sliders is much faster than digitized input of button/key presses which is vital in combat situation. I'll try to explore again.

The values do not display in Expert mode.

I must try this 16x trick to see sunset/dusk/dawn whatever :dash:

excuse me, how do you guys get to fly at dusk and dawn? How can you set the time?

thank you

Yes I want that too!

I just selected mission 02 then sped up time 16x and waited some time. Ability to set time would be nice, dusk/dawn is my favourite part of day.

So simple & yet it eluded me.... :unsure:

 

The flares on the night mission are cool!

Perhaps we could just do a thread on "Crash" Screenies...there are going to be a lot of them! ;)

Tried to test the maximum speed on the deck and chased the river with 495 Km/h.

Well, in an unmindful moment my belly touched the ice and my plane was rapidly thrown up again.

Too much forces for my plane and pilot :cray:

By the way, since we're tali ng crashes: I take fires and explosions are absolutely alpha at the moment, correct?

I've caused a few and they look very simple and coarse.

I flew around in circles for a while but never got hit. It looked cool though!

A personal review of this very first pre access demo including three flights, one starting on the runway, one from the "box" and one at night time

Ian, looking at your shots, it looks to me you have that grainy affect in the cockpit right?

 

You know you can get rid of it? :)

Did anyone check out or get screenshots of that steam/vapor when over heating the motor?  It looked fricken AMAZING.  Now imagine at think black oily smoke and it trailing on and on behind a doomed aircraft.  Holy crap..  Thats going to be awesome!

If you ever get only 1 gear light on...bad things will happen soon or later :biggrin:

Something is missing after touch and go:

Here's a fast and dirty edit of the LaGG running the circuit. I tried for a more cinematic edit. Hope you enjoy.

Anyone with early access access, please post a bailout animation video!

Thanks!
