The DL link asks for Permission to DL, maybe make it Public?

Thank you!

S! All,

Quick question... hope it was not asked before.
Where can I find almost all pilot notes for cockpit photos for IL2 Flying Circus (FC) I and II?
Big thanks,

GenMarkof

Some of the notes are best guesses, as the originator of these doesn't keep it up to date, it is only by the work of the community that these still live. The zipped file size is way too large to post here, but if you hmu on discord we can sort something out

S! @WWDarkdiz,

Big thanks for the info... when I get all the Pilot Notes for FC 1 and 2...
I will put out a full version for the FC community.
Big thanks for your file. I will compare it with what I did find today on the IL2 Forum and your new ZIP file.

Cheers,

I actually think they are already out there... somewhere.  This thread is a pretty good place to find them.

[WWDarkdiz]

So with the latest 5.106 update comes the inevitable demand for the cockpit photos for the new planes, namely the Nieuport 17, Albatros D2 and the Li-2. Not sure what ANY of the specs are for these, especially the WW1 entries.

So, this is what I'M doing:

The Li-2 is a licensed-built version of the C-47, albeit with slightly different engines. However, for now, I think the C-47 specs will work, and be close enough for government work.

For the N17: The controls are the same for the N11 (blip, mixture etc), so I suspect the specs will be close. Unless evidence to the contrary, the N11 specs should be close.

For the Albatros D2: Once again, the only thing close is the Albatros DV, so knowing full well that the D2 does NOT have a radiator control that the DV has, the RPM and water temp SHOULD be close. That being said, I noticed the engine overheat at quite a bit less than the 88 deg that is on the DV, but it didn't damage itself, and as soon as I let up on the throttle, it come down quite quickly and was fine after that. So maybe about 85 degrees? Anyhow, the cockpit_photo.dds file for the DV is going to be copied and pasted into the D2 folder.

Should anyone get solid evidence of hard numbers, please post them here so we can at least know about it, and maybe(?) get an updated cockpit photo done.

@Charlo-VR, thanks for all of your dedication keeping this thing alive!

[Charlo-VRde]

@WWDarkdiz thanks for that helpful info!
 

Unless someone else beats me to it, I can likely create cockpit notes for these new birds this Saturday, since I’ll finally be back from Tucson by then, and the weather forecast at home in LA is cloudy ? - so lots of sim time that day.

 

The Nieuport 17 and Alby DII both existed in ROF so I have what should still be relevant data for those two. After I get home and update the game I can also see the engine parameters the devs include for the Li-2, something I know I’ll be flying in the Finnish server.

[WWDarkdiz]

Soooo, after further review, the Li2 call is OVERTURNED! Darkdiz will NOT be charged a timeout After looking at the specs, there are some differences...

Li-2 below, straight from the in-game specs, I'll wait on the D2 and N17

@Charlo-VR, if you want to tweak it let me know, I'll get the xcf file to you somehow

The data and ratings for both of the above are from the old Rise of Flight manual, and the ratings probably still apply for the Flying Circus planes relative to each other.

 

Also, and thanks to the advice of @WWDarkdiz, here's a link to my pilots notes for the Li-2:

The only differences between what I posted and what @WWDarkdiz had kindly posted a few days ago are:

- I think the dev's Briefing notes in the game state the Li-2 can fly around for hours at 2000 RPM and 640 mmHg, so I added that

- The LI-2 can fly for 60 minutes at 2100 RMP and 900 mmHg

- The mixture levers are labeled with a "B" and that full mixture is when those levers are full back (I get confused when switching planes so include notes like that)

- I added info. about the brakes and tailwheel

 

So, anyone has a choice to use either of our Li-2 pilot's notes ?

 

A note about the Albatros D.2:

 

The Albatros D.2 includes a field mod to add a temperature gauge, and in the ROF version I vaguely recall we could operate the radiator... but when I try to move the radiator in the Flying Circus Albatros D.2 I don't see any movement, nor does the technochat indicate any change to the radiator. I also have turned off any engine assists.

 

So, the radiator on the Albatros D.2 may not be operable for us, even though my pilot's notes above indicate we can control the radiator. If we can, where would I see any visual indicator that the radiator is opening/closing? If it turns out we can't manually control the radiator then I will revise the above pilot's notes, and the same link should reflect any updated version. (Updated late evening of 10/1/23: This post confirmed we do not have control over the radiator, so I revised the pilot's notes that Throttle is the only engine control we have.)

 

Repeated request for the Halberstadt D.II

I'm going to need some experts' help on the pilots notes for the Halberstadt D.II that was released back in July. The engine specifications in the game are as spare as for the other WWI aircraft, which is why for the Flying Circus aircraft I've been using the engine specifications pulled from the table in the old ROF manual.

But since the Halberstadt D.II was never in ROF I don't have any specifications to draw from.

So, for me to create pilots notes for the Halberstadt D.II I'll need it's equivalent data like you can see in what we currently have for the Fokker DVIII, which I share here as an example:

For the Halberstadt D.II I can see in the game specifications that the max level speed at sea level is 145 kph. After a few quick flights it appears to me that the only engine control available is throttle, with no controls over mixture or the radiator (and of course, no blip since it's an inline engine). Did this plane have automatic mixture and radiator controls? Or, does our in-game version simply have automatic mixture and radiator controls, with no way for us to control them? (Updated late 10/1/23: This post confirmed we do not have control over the mixture or radiator, so throttle will be the only engine control we have when I create these pilot's notes after receiving the necessary data from you WW1 experts, as requested below.)

I also need someone to provide the other Halberstadt D.II numbers and spin recovery like we have for the Fokker DVIII in the example above. Once I have that I can create pilots notes for the Halberstadt D.II that look similar to the above for the Fokker DVIII.

 

The most important number I need is the max. rpm before damaging the engine. All other numbers are useful but not necessary, but I'm happy to include them if you WWI bird experts post here the stats you think are accurate.

Unfortunately, Storebror stopped updating this mod a couple of years ago, so since then a few of us (perhaps only me?) continue adding pilots notes images as new aircraft are released or as minor errors or changes are discovered in his original pilots notes.
 

Thus, you have to scroll though this thread to find links to aircraft not included in Storebror’s original mod. Since he stopped I’ve just been sharing what I create for myself based on his excellent original idea.
 

At https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/73855-another-pilots-notes-for-cockpit-photos/ you can find an alternate pilots notes that are still maintained by its original author, so probably have them all bundled in its first post, or would be if asked for in that thread.

Ha, I forgot the Halberstadt D.II was in ROF!  What's especially funny to me is I actually worked on the layout of that manual (blame me if you find anything difficult to read in it?)

 

Unfortunately, the Halberstadt D.II was also added into ROF after the Appendix D of that manual was being updated with aircraft max RPM, turn rate data, and spin recovery. Thus, from that ROF manual I still don't know the max RPM the Halberstadt D.II's engine can handle before becoming damaged, which is the most important piece of data I want to include in pilot's notes for it.

 

For the Halberstadt D.II I can see in the game specifications that the max level speed at sea level is 145 kph, and I know from this post that we do not have control over the mixture or radiator, so throttle is the only engine control.

Does anyone have turn, roll rate, and boom and zoom ratings for the Halberstadt D.II relative to the other aircraft?  How about recommended spin recovery? Some of the WWI planes recover automatically from a spin, with most of the others recovering via stick FORWARD and into the spin, then hold with opposite rudder. How about the Halberstadt D.II?

[WWDarkdiz]

I'm going to use the LA-5 ser 8 specs for the LA-5F, and the regular N17 specs for the GBR version.

AFAIK, the LA-5F used the same engine as the LA-5 ser 8 anyway

[Charlo-VRde]

Work and family visiting has kept me busy lately, and will keep me from creating pilot's notes for the HalberstadtD2 and the HanriotHD1 any time soon, since I still need to discover the max RPMs for those birds.

 

For now, below are two new and three updated pilot's notes for my fellow completists out there. ?
 

- For both previous La-5 versions I updated that the bombs now drop in pairs, per the 5.107 Changelist

- For the La-5 series 8 I also corrected from Storebror's original notes that the max. cylinder head temp. is 250° C.

- For the LaGG3 series 29 I also updated that the bombs drop in pairs (per the 5.107 Changelist) and also corrected from Storebror's original notes its water temps.

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the Nieuport 17 Great Britain version (so MPH):

Hi Charlo,

 

I just bought the La-5F and tested her out.

 

The boost knob/lever is non-responsive, I believe the boost figures are just a limiter based on the supercharger level, unlike the La-5.

So you can probably remove that first line from the extra information section.

 

Everything else is the same except a few speed differences, bubble canopy, and better canopy Jettison

 

Thanks!

Oh that's a great point, @TAIPAN_ - thanks for noticing and posting here about it!

 

Here's the link to my corrected pilot's notes for the La-5F series 38 (I removed the line about the Boost lever, replacing that with "Auto boost at 1140 mm Hg 1st gear"):

Those are the exact same links as I had shared before, so if you click any link I posted earlier in this thread to those planes, you can download those corrected versions.  

Pilot's Notes for the most recent three Great War planes:

 

Since the engine specifications in the game for WWI planes are so spare, and the three most recent Flying Circus planes never had much in the way of engine specs. in the ROF manual, I was hoping some of our resident experts on those planes would give me some data to include.

 

Barring that, today I turned on the technochat and determined reasonable estimates on the max RPMs these three planes can handle. Below are my pilot's notes with just the very basics for those planes.

Edited December 23, 2023 by Charlo-VR

[Charlo-VRde]

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the R.E.8:

The data and ratings are from the old Rise of Flight manual, and the ratings probably still apply for the Flying Circus planes relative to each other.

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the IAR-80/81:

All IAR-80/81 data is simply taken from the plane specifications the devs provide in the game.

Also, I'm not sure if the following was my mistake or a change made to the mixture levers in the LI-2, but I changed my pilot's notes to explain that now the mixture "B" levers are full rich when those levers are full forward.

 

So, here's the link to my updated pilots notes for the Li-2 (this is the exact same link from earlier in this thread, and the link always downloads my latest version):

Hello,

 

Do you allow me to update my "another cockpit notes" with your elements, as I did not purchase last planes and devs seems no more wanting to put elements on this post ?

 

Best regards

Oh certainly yes, feel free to do so!
 

I’ll also notice any mistakes you or others find if you post them in this thread and I’ll correct them in my versions

S! @Charlo-VR

 

Tried to download your Albatros D2 Notes, but the link from October, 1st isn´t working for me. Is the content still available from you?

Hmmm... I tried that same link and it works fine for me to download those pilot's notes using two different web browsers. Here is that same link again:

Thank you. It was indeed my browser. It didn´t worked with Edge, but with Firefox.

Here's a link to my updated pilots notes for the IAR-80/81A:

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the newly released IAR-80/81B:

All IAR-80/81A and B data is simply taken from the plane specifications the devs provide in the game. The above now also reflect that while in bombs mode for any IAR version carrying bombs that none of the guns fire until bombs mode is turned off, since the gun trigger instead becomes a bomb release trigger (though the usual bomb release command in our game also stills drops any bombs).

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the newly released Spitfire MkIXc:

All data is simply taken from the plane specifications the devs provide in the game.

Also, I'm not sure if the following was my mistake or Storebror's or a change made to the glideslope speed in the Spitfire MkIXe, but I changed my pilot's notes to correct those numbers to "103...115" mph. Unsurprisingly, the Spitfire MkIXc data I include in these pilot's notes is identical to those for the Spitfire MkIXe.

 

So, here's the link to my updated pilots notes for the Spitfire MkIXe (this is the exact same link from earlier in this thread, and the link always downloads my latest version):

All data is simply taken from the plane specifications the devs provide in the game, now including the 1942 engine variant data. Happy hunting!

 

@[F.Circus]MoerasGrizzly, you can also post here if you add any or all of the above five pilot's notes into your compilation.

Thanks, is that meant to list the SpitfireMkIXc twice?

Or did you intend to list an update for the previously released Spitfire notes?

Yeah, I can make things overly complicated sometimes ?

 

When I reviewed the pilot's notes for the SpitfireMkIXe to see if there are any changes I need to make to it for the SpitfireMkIXc, I realized all of the numbers for both versions would be the same.

 

But I also noticed the SpitfireMkIXe notes had an error I needed to correct, so I made that correction in the SpitfireMkIXe notes, then copied those notes into my SpitfireMkIXc folder.  It's the same custom_photo.dds file used for each of those Spitfires, but wanted to correct the link I had shared earlier in this thread so that the link to my SpitfireMkIXe notes links to the corrected version.
