BMA_FlyingShark Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 I hope the new runways will be part of the upcoming update too. Have a nice day.
Beazil Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 TYVM for the update. Looks wonderful. Thanks for the 410 images too!
Avimimus Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 6 hours ago, Feathered_IV said: The C-6 will be able to catch the Po-2 and C-47 in level flight. The B-25 will be able to walk away from it however if it puts on a bit of speed. We'll know soon enough. I think we may both have been mistaken to use maximum speeds instead of speeds with bombs equipped. There is a screenshot earlier showing a Ju-88C shooting down a Pe-2 which has just dropped its load of 500kg bombs - I can't help but to feel the interception may have been assisted by such a heavy bombload. So, with the Ju-88C at 40% fuel, and the bomber with a full bomb load at 60% fuel it may be a bit different from what we expect. That said, Il-4, Wellingtons, or Beaufighters, would be nice targets to have for it (although Wellingtons were phased out of non-coastal command roles in Europe pretty quickly after it appeared - so, really, a Lancaster would be more ideal). 2
Tendo Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 ME 410 cockpit is very nice, also looks very modern for a WW2 plane

You can get some idea of Wimpy's vs. Ju-88C's at CloD DWT. I'd have to say that success is at least pertly dependent on the ability of the turret gunners and how long the Ai gunners are able to live ( which seems like in CloD,forever!) 1 1

Yes - I noticed that - it is quite hard to pick off a gunner in Cliffs of Dover, and also that the Ju-88C seems pretty vulnerable to enemy fire... we'll see how the Great Battles/BoX models it soon - both are great sims, but it is interesting to compare and I'm sure they could benefit from each other's research on the same aircraft!

[CPT]Crunch Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 I'd like to get excited about the 410, but is it too going to have any systems reliant on the same arsed up archaic engine swapping controls as some of the other twins like the 38? Just flew it and remembered all the reasons why I quit flying it in the first place, awful, confusing, and unhandy controls system. 1

migmadmarine Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 1 hour ago, cardboard_killer said: I'm confused; what's "engine swapping"? Selecting which engine your key inputs apply to if you've not got enough buttons to bind specifically to engine 1, 2, 3 etc

LuftManu Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 That's a strange looking Mosquito! Jokes aside, I want to have a 410 in a modern sim already. Can't wait! 1
dburne Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Oh man so looking forward to that new sky! Bring it on baby!!!

I think it is a decent system, except that if you have the UI helpers turned off it is easy to loose track of which engine you currently have selected.

migmadmarine Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Mostly, yea, but I think tying the engine selector UI to the UI compass (as this always turns on if you hit I no matter your setting or server settings I believe) would be a worthwhile small quality of life improvement.
BraveSirRobin Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 If you forget which engine is selected just select the one you want again. Problem solved. No development time wasted. 2
Lensman Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 "It’s a very unique cockpit" No ... it's either unique or unusual but it can't be very unique because unique is an absolute. I don't often comment on this sort of thing because it comes across as pedantic but "very unique" has become a common phrase in America and it needs to be stamped out! 2 4

I mean no other plane than the ME210 had a cockpit like that so if you want to be pedantic, the man's not wrong. ? Edited March 6, 2022 by Luftschiff

I don't often comment on this sort of thing because it comes across as pedantic but "very unique" has become a common phrase in America and it needs to be stamped out! With the way English is casually murdered daily, I think your pedantry has a lot of ground to cover. I've come to despise the usage of 'prerequisite.' The word 'requisite' already covers everything. It's like saying 'a needed necessity.' Another one I love to hate, is 'decimate' being used as a synonym for 'absolute destruction.' In military terms, losing ten percent of anything would be a good day. 2
cardboard_killer Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 What I hate is the old "it was four times less than . . .". Do you mean it was one quarter of?

Wise man said that only a Sith deals in absolutes, but I'm absolutely with you on this one. My pet peeves are mostly within the corporate BS bingo realm, like: "We'll circle back and take an out-of-the-box deep dive so we can dedicate all synergy and bandwidth to the low-hanging fruits that are in alignment with our agile pivot." It means, "I don't have clue, you're on your own..", and everyone will nod politely and think about lunch.

Technically "four times less than" would be a multiple of negative three times from zero of the original value. Unfortunately, the English language is being raped and butchered into an illiterate mush.
BMA_FlyingShark Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Guys, We have people from all over the world in this community.

I don't mind using google translate to edit the occasional post as long as it is infrequent and not for the same members. Here is todays translation: "Here we need to talk about planes or flights or things close to them. Language quality is out of the question here.

No development time wasted. Not that simple at all, because if you don't know what mode the other engine is also in, it can switch it too. By selecting unfeather on two and attempting to restart it, your number one can end up feathered if you aren't aware its wasn't deselected to start with when selecting two, and if you don't have the indicators on, its a best guess crap shoot. Exactly the feature you need in heavy combat, totally intuitive, with ease of use, not.

I assume you are using the term rape here in its strictly correct usage meaning to take. Butchery of the language is not new. A few hundred years ago the question of whether a person was unarmed or not depended solely on whether they were wearing armour, thus a person could be carrying half a dozen weapons and still be unarmed but the term got turned on its head quite some time ago. 3
