Pilots Notes for Cockpit Photos

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.

 

Oh thanks! makes sense.

 

I didn't actually look at the photos, I was only looking at the folder names you listed because both folder names are the same.

 

So I'll just copy that to the SpitfireMkIXe folder as well cheers.

Whoops, I see it now, and I fixed it in my post to reflect the correct folder names ?

Just a quick shout-out to @marcobona and his Great Battles Aircraft Details App at

The labeled cockpit photos are super handy for those of us who fly as many different aircraft as we can. He graciously is now including these pilots notes into that app., but even without them his app is a major recommendation!

I learned something new to me about the Bf-110 E2 and G2 from this post at https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/88395-controller-setup-for-the-me110/#comment-1316492

 

I did not realize that in the Me-110 E2 you must reload each 20mm gun after 60 rounds, and in the Me-110 G2 you must reload the 37mm gun pod after each clip of 6 rounds. So, I decided to add those notes into my copies of the OP Storebror's pilots notes for those two planes.

Thus, here's a link to my updated pilots notes for the Bf-110 E2:

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

Because my gaming peripherals, motion seat, and VR headset are still packed away during remodeling in my house, I don't know how these look in VR. In a few weeks when the remodeling is done I'll see how it looks in VR and make any changes I deem necessary. The above link will always point to my latest version. Cheers!

Thanks for that! Not that it matters much, but I'm not sure if the values they supplied are all correct, strictly speaking. When I test-flew the 152 for the first time last night, the indicated manifold pressure with MW-50 active and throttle at 100% often sat a lot higher than 1.8 ata. It does jump around a bit as you climb up (sometimes techno-chat will even report that you've switched out of WEP), but a lot of times when I checked, the needle would be pegged at the gauge's maximum (2.2 ata? ... not 100% sure now, but definitely over 2.0 and much higher than 1.8).

 

I'm also not sure about MW-50 max duration - I did take the plane from parked to ~12km in real time and I was at 100% throttle and spraying MW the whole time - and the engine never overheated or got damaged. That was on the Normandy map, BTW. I also never saw the "no MW50-spray"-warning light come on. I didn't measure flight time precisely, but I think I'll do that next chance I get. Though I feel like it took me longer than 10 minutes to get up there. IIRC, the cowl flaps never even opened all that much so how hot could the engine have gotten? 😄

Unfortunately, Storebror stopped updating this mod a few 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.

 

It's possible @[F.Circus]MoerasGrizzly may have a recent, downloadable compilation of all of Storebror's and my pilots notes. I don't maintain a compilation myself.
 

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.

Charlo, thank you for keeping all of these updated! For everyone's convenience, I've made another compilation that includes all photos published thus far.

 

Download the complete compilation here.

Last updated on the 25th of July, 2024.

 

Extract into your \IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\ folder.

Also thanks to Padre who uploaded the compilation I built this one from.

 

The file is a self-extracting archive made by 7zip. If you distrust .exe files downloaded from the internet, you can open it with 7zip instead.

 

I updated this! Same download link.

 

Many thanks to @Charlo-VR for keeping this up.

If the planes existed in ROF then I have the engine spec. spreadsheet in the ROF manual to provide the data I would put in my pilot’s notes. But I’m happy to use whatever data other’s provide here about these new Great War crates. 👍

@Charlo-VR, Is this ROF manual available anywhere?

 

Yeah, it's posted here, Appendix D is where I get my data:

 

[Charlo-VRde]

Appendix D of the old Rise of Flight manual (see my post above) does not include these WW I planes since they never existed in RoF:

 

Roland C.2a

Sopwith 1½ Strutter

Sopwith 1½ Strutter B

 

So, I'm going to need some experts' help on the pilots notes for those three planes. 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.

 

For me to create pilots notes for those three planes I'll need their equivalent data like you can see in what we currently have for the Camel (on the left) or the HanriotHD1 (on the right), which I share here as examples:

 

    

 

For the Roland C.2a and the Sopwith 1½ Strutters I can see in the game specifications their max level speeds at sea level. The Roland C.2a only appears to have throttle control (no mixture or radiatorcontrols). I also can see in the parked 1½ Strutters that since they are radials they have mixture and blip as their only engine controls.

 

I just need someone to provide the other numbers and spin recovery like we have for the Camel - or at least like what we have for the Hanriot HD1 in the examples above.

 

Once I have those for the Roland C.2a, Sopwith 1½ Strutter, and/or Sopwith 1½ Strutter B (if there are any relevant engine control differences between those two Strutter variants), I can then create pilots notes for each that look similar to the above for the Camel or the Hanriot HD1.

 

[Raptorattacker]

@Charlo-VR
I'm on YOUR side mate so please don't lump me in with 'the other side'. My response was intended as sarcasm toward such an early expectation of details.
I've had the same thing with templates, of which I've prepared a lot, especially for FC! It's a 'see, want, have' kind of attitude from some without any appreciation of an individual's time and effort.
Anyway @JG4_Moltke1871 has apologized so fair play.

Peace

Meanwhile I find it hat Spec‘s page…🙂

About the max RPM‘s: 

 

Both Strutters have same engine then the Sop Triplane, Clerget 9B, so the max RPM,s should be 1550

 

The Roland C.2a has the same Mercedes D.III engine as the Albatros D.2so the my RPM‘s should be 1700.

Yes you are correct however I find that the engines on both strutters are getting damaged at around 1450 rpm for some reason.

The tacho's in these planes max out at 1600 rpm so I guess this becomes the practical maximum? Any faster speeds can't be monitored.

If there are differences with same engines it should be investigated or we need an explanation why it is so, @LukeFF?

Yes, this it’s a problem to handle but the engines are dying later then reaching 1600 so the informations from the ROF manual should be correct.

Gotha or DFW dying immediately when exceed 1600 rpm‘s

@HotPursuit, @JG4_Moltke1871and @LukeFF I can replicate in a Quick mission pushing either Strutter into a shallow dive from 2000 meters, engine damage is noted in the technochat at 1450 or so RPMs. The Sopwith Tripe's engine can go well past that without similar engine damage.

Bad weather today meant my team practice was canceled, so I was able to get this done - cheers to all who asked for them! 🍻🍺😁

 

Just as a reminder, the original poster of this thread, Storebror, stopped updating this mod several years ago. Since then, and because I admire and enjoy his original design and approach, I have continued sharing in this thread my own, personal pilots notes images as new aircraft are released, as errors are discovered, as changes are made by the devs, and as engine variants are added.

 

Also, since replacing the custom photos with these pilots notes is a mod, whenever you update the game, these pilots notes you have added will be overwritten by the stick custom photos. To manage my mods, I personally use JSGME, which is explained at https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/36622-is-there-a-tutorial-to-use-jsgme/ . These pilots notes are allowed on all multiplayer servers with mods off.

 

It's possible @[F.Circus]MoerasGrizzly may have a recent, downloadable compilation of all of Storebror's and my pilots notes. I don't maintain that type of a compilation myself, I just keep sharing here my individual pilots notes as I create or modify them. I'm just an amateur hobbyist, as you can see, who flies in VR so can't easily refer to external data while in a cockpit. 🤓

 

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

 

I also highly recommend @marcobona's excellent "Flying Circus Airplane Details App" at https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/79430-flying-circus-airplane-details-app/ and his "Great Battles Aircraft Details App" at https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/77832-great-battles-aircraft-details-app/ . He may update those with what I post below.

 

Flying Circus Vol. IV:

 

I get most of the Great War aircraft data I use from Appendix D in the old Rise of Flight User Manual at https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/82595-useful-materials-for-rise-of-flight/ .

 

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the Albatros D.3 (currently no custom photo is visible in this plane, a bug which the devs are aware of - so until that is fixed by the devs, you will not see this pilots notes in the cockpit):

All data is simply taken from the plane specifications the devs provide in the game, or as provided in the old Rise of Flight manual. The ratings are also from that Rise of Flight manual and probably still apply for the FC planes relative to each other. However, the devs noted the max level speed for this FC IV plane is 5 kph faster than what is in the old RoF manual, so I used the current max level speed they provided in FC IV.

 

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the Roland C.2a:

This reflects what little data the devs provide in the game, or as recommended in the above posts since this plane was never created in Rise of Flight.

However, the devs noted the max level speed for this plane is 10 mph (converted from kph) faster than what is in the old RoF manual, so I used the current max level speed they provided in FC IV.

 

Here's a link to my pilots notes for the Sopwith Pup:

This reflects what little data the devs provide in the game, or as recommended in the above posts since this plane was never created in Rise of Flight. The pilots notes for both Strutters are identical.

Note that there is some debate as to the max RPMs for both Strutters - I incur engine damage at right around 1450. As you can see in the posts above, both Strutters have the same Clerget 9B engine as the Sopwith Triplane, and the old Rise of Flight Manual notes the Sopwith Triplane can go to 1550 RPMs. So, If the devs change the max RPMs for the Strutters to 1550, I will update the above links so that they reflect that change.

Nieuport 28 Update:

 

Update 5.504 also included significant revisions to the Nieuport 28, so much so that some of the data published in the old Rise of Flight manual no longer applies.

 

So, here's the link to my updated pilots notes for the Nieuport 28, in which I simply removed the Max Corner Speed line and the Turn/Roll/B and Z ratings, since those were based on the old RoF model:

Three New WW II Engine variants:

 

For those of you interested in the latest versions of the pilots notes for the WW II planes, I have updated for myself the pilots notes for the 109-G4, 109-G6, and MiG-3 ser. 24 to include the new engine variants that were also added in as part of Update 5.504.

Thanks for your effort @Charlo-VR, about the Tripe and Strutter max rpm's I postet two tracks in the Update5.504 section, may this data help the devs to clarify it.

Does your data differ from what is on the current Pilot's Notes?

For me it looks like the Tripe engine dies later than 1500 rpm‘s and the Strutter somewhere between 1450 to 1500.

 

would you like to try also to confirm?

On my Pilot Notes it's 1550 for the Tripe, and I think that's accurate, as it will damage at 1600 (which is actually hard to hit as you are maxxed out speed-wise in a dive by then. I actually damaged the airframe at the same point). For the Strutter, when I held it at 1450 it became damaged, so again, seems fine.

Your post reminded me I had forgotten to create pilots notes for the glider, since I forgot it had a custom photo of a woman in it. 🙃

 

So in the interest of being a completist for the flying machines, here's a link to my new pilots notes for the CG-4A Waco Glider:

Download and save into \IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\graphics\Planes\CG4A\Textures\

 
All data is simply taken from this glider's specifications the devs provide in the game. Enjoy, the Waco is actually a fun challenge to fly!

 

Thanks also to @JG4_Moltke1871 and @Patricks for confirming no other changes needed yet to the pilots notes I created for the FC IV planes. Hopefully a 5.504c Patch will soon bring us visible custom photos in the Albatros D.3 and Airco D.H.2 so I can check my work on the pilots notes for those two crates. 🥸
