SCG_DocHolliday 2 Posted September 8 Can anyone tell me if the IL-2 (BOS BOM BOK) Quick Guide V2.50 is still pretty accurate, or have patches/updates changed it? I'm loving flying the IL2, PE2, JU88 and Bf-110, but the Soviet craft seem fairly daunting with mixture, prop rpms, etc; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unreasonable 1561 Posted September 8 The older guides will not include details for the newer Soviet planes released afterwards, but should still be OK for the older ones such as Yak 1. If there have been any CEM changes they are pretty minor. There is a more up to date version (2.80) here. Try the Yak 1 as a start for getting used to the CEM. Actually it is fairly easy as the Soviet design philosophy was to make the planes as idiot proof as they could, so although it is possible to break them it is actually much easier to break a 109's engine. The key thing is to keep the temperatures in the limits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_DocHolliday 2 Posted September 8 Thank you, I'll try working with the Yak 1! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And throttle and rpm to same joystick lever. Heck of an idea! Going to try that now. Thank you. 14 minutes ago, DocHolliday said: Heck of an idea! Going to try that now. Thank you. WOW...all I can say is, you, Higaluto, are a GENIUS!! Such a simple idea but it's brilliant, thank you very much for sharing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garven_Dreis 65 Posted September 9 You can typically have the oil radiator close farther than the water radiator so binding them to the same control will only increase drag. It is best to have separate controls for rpm and throttle too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've done something seriously wrong if you're counting on a mere 5 km/h to get you out of a bind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge_S 10 Posted Thursday at 05:52 PM bordering cheating.. but even in realistic difficulty, the game will pop up an alert when oil/ water is getting too hot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
