I'm flying online in Il-2 CoD again, this time for "blue". More than any other sim I've played, CoD really shows what a marvellous and deadly machine the Bf-109 is. It just comes across as a superb piece of machinery, every mechanical bit and piece finely honed like a Swiss watch. Precision handling mixed with brutal force in the shape of those 20mm cannons spitting high explosives at hapless enemies. Hmm, does it come across that I really like the Messerschmitt? :-)

Hope you like this little sortie... As always, comments very welcome!

Cheers,
Freycinet

Another great Vid! As always I enjoyed it immensley.

[DoolittleRaider]

Another good one...These Gameplay Videos are surely attracting new customers to COD, as they give an exact depiction of the Cockpit P.O.V. and real time flying/action. From engine start to landing, with combat action, all in the course of a mere ten-minutes.

In your videos, WhatYouSee is WhatYouGet...WYSIWYG...No tricks, no post-processing (other than your text Radio dialogue). I'd go out and buy COD myself based on viewing a couple of your videos...if I didn't already own COD!

[Freycinet]

New video up :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuDSqK9XpcM&list=PL981CBC682E928D2A&index=1&feature=plpp_video
(As always, best seen in 1080p and full-screen)

OK, it is about time I try the trusted old Hurricane online, in Cliffs of Dover. True, it isn't as sprightly as the Spitfire, but its stability as a gun platform is appreciably better. Against a very well-flown Bf-109 I'd probably prefer the Spit, but for anything less the Hurricane is not bad at all. A winged Messerschmitt was just the opponent that I needed for my first online excursion in the Hurri... - Enjoy!

As always, comments very welcome,

Cheers,
Freycinet

[Ribbs67]

Very nice video Freycinet...I always like that they are complete and unedited .no matter the outcome..heh also on the Hurri, the throttle mixture is backwards i believe. It runs the best with it all the way down. Oh and one other thing, keep your RPMs around 2600 and the boost on the white arrow that is in the red. She will be alot happier for you.. ;) S! Keep up the good work!

[Freycinet]

Thanks, I definitely needed those pointers regarding the engine management!

[Blackdog_kt]

Yup, great video but it looks like you hate that Merlin mate :-P

A lot of the sputtering was because of "funky" mix/RPM/boost settings. Keep in mind that when lowering RPM the boost rises because the engine cycles slower and the air is not "sucked in" as fast as when running higher RPM.

In a few cases you were already running max boost and then started lowering RPM, this can further increase the pressure and cause you problems.

Generally speaking, the rule of thumb to prevent this is that RPM should "lead" and boost/manifold pressure should "follow:
when increasing power, increase RPM first and then advance throttle
when decreasing power, lower the throttle first and then reduce the RPM, you'll see your boost climbing back up to an acceptable number after you pull the bitch back

Still great video though and to be honest, it's nice to see videos with mistakes because they are more realistic and interesting than videos where everything is flown perfect ;)

Then my vids should be a great success! :-P

Awesome!

and a lot of chat... :D

[Freycinet]

Yes, sometimes I get to fly with rather verbose pilots... ;-P

[Freycinet]

- Just to be totally sure, I guess you meant "pitch"? (Freudian slip?) ;)

[philip.ed]

It must be a Freudian slip of his thought processing: the P is no where near to B on a keyboard... ;)

[Freycinet]

Hi all,

Here's a new one of the little videos I make for fun in CoD: hope you like it. (Click image for going to my web site, where it is the first video in the list)

http://www.flightsimvids.com/Bombing.Hawkinge,1st.try.500px.jpg (http://www.flightsimvids.com)

I'm back in my trusty Bf-110 with a not quite so trustworthy rear gunner...

- I have been quite unhappy with the changes made to youtube, so I did my own web site for my videos. I hope you will like it: www.flightsimvids.com - You can still make comments via youtube on my videoes, but at least now they are presented a bit better.

[TomcatViP]

Great one again. I think I am hook as a fan.

How did you manage to get out of this 110 after crash landing into the sea. I am always stuck in the cockpit ?

Regarding the rear gunner, if your switch to rear gunner view ONCE, AI won't take it over afterward. You'll need to man it by yourself (none Freudian slip here be re-assured).

[Freycinet]

Hehe, that getting out of the plane bit was pure movie trickery. It goes down, does the washing-machine routine and then the camera just switches to exterior view, as any time a player dies. I just kept on with the annotations as if I was still alive... :)

Ah, good info re: the rear gunner. I didn't know that. So, if I leave him alone the AI will control him and shoot back at attackers?

[FFCW_Urizen]

sometimes they do, sometimes they don´t. i had a hurri just a hundred meters behind me, the gunner had a clear shot at the bogey, yet he didn´t do anything and got killed. quickly afterwards i was dead in the water. it seems to be a bit of luck if he shoots at enemies or not.

[DoolittleRaider]

Another good video in your unique style. The cartoon-style text balloons are quite effective, and as others have said, humorous. They do add a "human" touch which is not easy to accomplish in any flightsim video or movie. Well done, again.

[Freycinet]

Hi all,

I put up a new movie, and this time it is a bit more useful than the fun vids I've made so far. It is my best attempt at a Spitfire Mk. I Tutorial movie.

Find the movie on my web site: www.flightsimvids.com (http://www.flightsimvids.com)
http://www.flightsimvids.com/Spitfire.Mk.I.Tutorial.500px.jpg (http://www.flightsimvids.com)

There is a LOT more work to making a tutorial video than to my usual vids for pure amusement, so I hope you will appreciate the effort! (Even if perhaps not the result...)

If you haven't enjoyed the superb fun that is flying with Complex Engine Management in Il-2 CoD maybe now is the time!

- The Spitfire modelled in CoD really gives a tremendous feeling of raw power wrapped inside a beautiful, streamlined aeroplane. When you master it (I'm still not quite there) you will have a great feeling of the sky belonging to you, zooming around effortlessly at the flick of a wrist and the slight push of a lever. There is heft and inertia to the plane, and it can be quite daunting to take it up, but it DOES help that one's behind is not on the line, and that the hierarchy won't have that behind served on a platter if you muck up...

I can only imagine the excitement and fear that must have gripped young recruits back then, 70-odd years ago, when they first walked out to a parked Spitfire before taking her up. Actually, I can imagine it much better now that I have flown it in CoD.

Big thanks go to 2GvSAP_Flea, who helped me a lot with the video, and whose super-impressive "Il-2 CoD Aircraft Operations Checklist" (http://http://www.flightsimvids.com/op2gvsapinst_3710.1b.pdf.zip) can be found on my web site as well. Also thanks to jf1981 (1C forums), whose comments and quick guide helped a lot too. I made my own quick guide (partly based on Flea's pdf and jf1981's document) and linked it at the web site too (http://www.flightsimvids.com/Il-2.Cliffs.of.Dover.Spitfire.Mk.I.Quick.Guide.by.Soe ren.Dalsgaard.txt), for those who want to just jump into the Spit and get her into the air. And maybe even land...

Pls comment if you think I should correct some things in the movie, or well, if you just feel like it...

[Freycinet]

Thanks for the title change :)

[DoolittleRaider]

Spitfire Mk. I Tutorial:

Absolutely superb and incredibly helpful tutorial! I should think 1C Company would pay you to produce such a tutorial for each and every aircraft in 'Cliffs of Dover', or 'Battle of M' Sequel. Especially with the Sequel, such tutorials could be included with the Steam Download and/or DVD. These tutorials would be Far Superior to written instructions, when such instructions are even available.

Your Balloon text technique works very well. Have you ever tried doing a Voice-over narration instead of Text?

One very minor suggestion: Is it possible to move the little Mouse arrow off screen when you are not looking around the cockpit or adjusting controls? It sits out there on the right side of the screen when not in "use"...in cockpit and external views...looks a bit odd.

[Freycinet]

I'd love to do such tutorials for BoM :) They know where to find me.. ;)

Yeah, the little arrow is a bit annoying, I agree. I often forget to pull it down and away, but there is a lot to think about when I do these movies. Remember, they're done in one take and live! Talk about "dogme" movie-making... I'm not Danish for nothing! ;)

If I had the voice and coolness of Michael Caine I'd definitely do voice-over. Howver, I don't... :D

[Freycinet]

New movie up! - This one is my entry for the Cliffs of Dover Movie Competition! (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29389)

We're back in Il-2 Cliffs of Dover, back in the cockpit of the gorgeous Spitfire, and back in the air over Hawkinge Aerodrome!

I queued up with an unknown buddy on the ATAG server and well, the rest is my imagination and this movie came out of it...

The Channel map just looks splendid in the early morning light, and there are some pretty cool moments in the vid, I think. As when I fly through a hail storm of bullet casings from the other Spitfire. Low-level aerobatics over the sumptuous landscape also looks great, with the tress, shadows, bump mapping and rich textures. Not you daddy's Russian steppes... :)

http://www.flightsimvids.com/Deadly.Ballet.500px.jpg (http://www.flightsimvids.com)
Find it at www.flightsimvids.com (first of the "fun vids"). As always it looks its best at 1080p and in fullscreen.
(If the link acts up, just press "youtube" in the lower right corner of the screen and you will go to the youtube page)

Hope you enjoy this video and pls post a comment if you feel like it: they are a big part of why I do my movies!

Thanks.
This type of video is very useful to me. I only ran COD a couple of times after purchase and I am only just starting again after buying a new computer.
I'm finding that the full real settings are very unforgiving.

How are you zooming to outside objects from inside the cockpit? I only seem to be able to zoom in F2 exterior view.
Using the mouse I only seem to be able to move my virtual body around (6 degrees of freedom) within the cockpit. I tried the F10 key, but it just enables/disables this view.

[DoolittleRaider]

...

I don't know how Freycinet Zooms, but I Zoomed with TIR, as I remember (I am needing/building a new Computer before I can return to flying COD. I've been grounded for a couple of months now. :(

[Freycinet]

I set up a button on my joystick so that when I hold it down I can zoom in and out by moving my mouse backwards and forwards. It is a button function you can find in the "options" section...

This is a work-around because CoD doesn't have the obvious possibility of setting one joystick button to "zoom in" and another to "zoom out". That would be far better.

[Freycinet]

Woohoo, just passed a quarter of a million views on my youtube channel... - Pretty cool.

I have some more videos up since the last posted in this thread, you can see them at my site, linked in my sig.

[Miss Shilling's orifice]

Have loved watching your vids, mate. Love the stories and the tutorials are a getting me ready for when my joystick arrives.

Lol tht one is a must. ....:rolleyes:

[Miss Shilling's orifice]

Lol tht one is a must. ....:rolleyes:

Absolutely, the full rudder and aileron settings through the keyboard make doing a lot of things a chore. Can still practice some of the engine management stuff from the tutorials while I wait.

[Freycinet]

Dear Miss Shilling,
Glad you have liked my vids! Hope to have a new one up by the end of this week: convoy atack...
Apart from a stick I can also really recommend track ir for looking around when you fly. Almost indispensable...
Thanks for your work on the orifice. Too bad the RAF fighters in CoD are a bit too early to use it... :-)

I look forward to the new clip.

So, CoD is based around the Battle of Britain aircraft and just missed out? Reading on Wiki it says the "orifice" had been installed throughout RAF fighter command by March 1941.

The Track IR system does look very nice but out of my budget for the time being. I am getting started in this with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick for now and will have to make do with the hat switch to look about.

[Freycinet]

Yup, just missed out. It's half-roll and stick back if you want to follow a Messer in a dive, just like in the real BoB.

[Freycinet]

Just watched "Fast Kill, Slow Motion" and loved it! To say it again: The creative use of Luftwaffe German and English sounds quite awesome to me as a native German speaker! :-D
