Greetings,

11.11.2012: Tutorial for the He-111 completed
Here is a tutorial series for the He-111 in English. The main idea is to help pilots who are new to the big birds to have an easier start.

Playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP5kb04cH5BXLH3VpXeVjv4j6Nkk378Mg

The first video shows the start up procedure, warming up and the start on an airfield in france.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoAkNtBXOcM&feature=plcp

The second video is up. This time it shows level flight and the use of the autopilot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEot-4ELnQo&feature=plcp

The third part explains the use of the Lotfe Bomb-sight during an attack on the airfield of Hawkinge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBqQ6wj09U&feature=plcp

Part four shows the flight back home with some navigation, the fuel management and the landing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsDYS9F0EUo&feature=plcp

If you listen careful, you might notice, that I'm not a native English speaker :rolleyes:. After a number of tutorials in German, this is my first video in English. I hope it is still useful and after all this is a German plane. This way it might even be more authentic.

Excellent. It is so much easier to follow a video than reading about it, especially when it is explained as clearly as this.

Really superb, very well done! Calm and methodical and very pedagogical. Looking forward to the later parts!
Some suggestions: I think you should change the title to something more understandable: "Cliffs of Dover He-111 start-up tutorial" or something like that. If you could upload a short text-based guide it would be great, too. Just a checklist of settings and actions necessary for take-off. I get quite a lot of views at my Channel, so I will plug your vid and hope it gets more traffic!

The second video is at least as good as the first. This is how to do a tutorial! Well done.

It is enjoyable to watch even for someone like me who seldom flies bombers.

I never realised how complex the autpilot was, or how well it is modelled.

Excellent tutorials m8 - thanks very much for posting them. I'm hoping the devs see these and recruit you to make a similar series of videos for each plane in the sequel. IMO the inclusion of training videos of this quality in the next instalment of the sim (accompanied by matching checklists etc) has the potential to raise review scores by at least 10 percentage points. I can't think of any other areas of the sim which could have such a dramatic effect on review scores for such a small cost.
Cheers,

Too bad the developers are not at all interested in giving players ANY help in playing their sim. Super-complex autopilot but no explanations. Dead sure that won't change for BoM. Totally baffling, but that's their way...

no need a developer's explantation. just read the historic manual of that plane. that's the idea.

Hi,

basically, that's what I did.

My news agent is called Google. I asked about "He-111 Handbuch" or "Manual" and things like that. I got a couple of links and found lots of interesting information about this and other planes.

One He-111 manual I found is from 1940 "He 111 H, P und D, D(Luft)T 2220/1". Its just a "Kurzbetriebsanleitung" which means short version of the full manual but has still about 100 pages. There are versions with more than 1000 pages. I can't tell what the copyright situation of books like this is but we just got a new version of our "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" in Germany.

There are several sources on the net where you can buy this. Just search for "He-111 2220/1".

It's amazing how precise some of the features are implemented. When I see this, I can't believe, that no one spend the little additional time to tell us about it.

nadasero, thanks a lot, i saw this on youtube a few days ago and it got me into German bombers for the 1st time.

Speak for yourself, personally i think it is a absolute joke the documentation supplied with this sim. I'd agree, IF they supplied these historic manuals.

It puts me off purchasing anything of them in the future, far more so than bugs & missing features. Good documentation, for me, is SO important in a simulator.

Is it possible in the sim to open the hatch above the pilot and then to rise his chair so that he is flying with his head is on the outside of the airplane? In the real He111 they could do this, probably to get out of the "kaleidoscope" inside the cabin or if it fogged up.

Nicely Done Sir!

Thanks

I really enjoyed your accent with it as well.

Hoping someday to get and English sound pac from the Dev's with your German accent included as an option when I'm flying for the Luftwaffe.
And Vice Vesa for you guys over there that don't speak English.

Last part is on youtube now and as excellent as can be expected. Thank you for the part with the pilots hatch.
There is so much hidden in this sim. If only 1C could take the time to explain and document all features they would win a Nobel prize for sure.
Thank you Nadasero for making and posting.

I just saw part 4. Very nice.

Without this I would never have known about being able fly by looking through the roof hatch.

I had no idea about this. Viking asked for this and if you know that there might be a function it is possible to search and find how it works.

I think most of the key assignement is just the same as in classic IL2. It was possible to oben the canopy in the Mitsubishi Zero and you could rise the seat to have a much better overview. This was a big help for carrier landings. Without Vikings question, I would never think about trying this in the Heinkel.

Viking

11-13-2012, 03:27 AM

Yes that was a neat feature. And there was a mechanism that, as the hatch slid backwards, raised a windbreaker in front of the hatch. Perhaps this can be verified in the sim by outside look as the hatch opens?

yes, fantastic how detailed CLOD is but i don't understand the need for this feature ? If a german pilot couldn't see everything through a glass dome, he should have been given a rifle! :grin:

The 111 is the only German aircraft without a forward centerline indicator (gunsight) in the cockpit. The nose of the 111 is offset right and the pilot sits offset left so the centerline was very difficult to judge. That's why there's a horizon indicator and a centerline indicator on top of the airplane.

I've been teaching people how to fly and level bomb with the 111 for a long time now guys, if anyone wants to learn to fly it all you have to do is come on the ATAG Teamspeak and find me.

Just one more thing, in RL it was possible to swing the control wheel over to the observer so that he could take control. Is this possible in the sim?

Viking

This cool feature of the He-111 can be seen in the Battle of Britain movie.

I'm sure its not possible in CloD (or perfectly hidden). It would be more or less useless because there is not much what the pilot can do while the observer is flying.

According to the manual, the swing is only allowed while flying on autopilot. If you need some time for navigation, checking engine values, fuel management or what ever, you don't need a co pilot, you just use the autopilot and everything is fine.

This would just demonstrate the feature of the He-111, you play with it once or twice and over all it is completely useless. Things like this should be implemented, when everything else is done and the developers start to be bored (with other words: never).

Looking through some old mags recently, i noticed a picture of a spanish He111 and the pilot seems to be sitting on the other side, was that historically correct or just a film thing ?

Sorry if this has already been answered.

.

This must be the feature of the control wheel of the real live He-111. Viking asked about this. It is possible to swing it over to the co-pilot/observer.

No, the entire dome was offset on the other side.

I'm not sure but I don't think that someone has build a reversed version of the He-111.

My best guess is, the picture is printed reversed. This happens from time to time. If you mirror the picture horizontally, everything looks much better, even the :cool: guy on top is wearing his wrist watch on the left arm as usual.

I think the aviation-orientated journalists found the picture and the more artistic orientated guy who had to arrange the front page found that the reversed picture gives a better optical impression in connection with the subtitles.

Everybody has his own priorities.

Has to be a reversed image, the hatch is on the wrong side too.

Way too many things are backwards for it to be a proper image.

So you are saying Casa's are made with blueprints back to front from the He111 ?

This discussion is still pretty closed to the original topic. I've seen much worse. No problem with that.

Looking for Images of CASA 2.111 on Google brings up several thousands of pictures with the dome on the right side. I vote for a reversed picture and definitely not for a reversed plane.

Sorry I thought you would know that there's only one type of pilot position manufactured for Casa/He111.

They are all left hand drive :)

The mag flipped the pic look at the unflipped one I posted.

We know that.

If the pilot needed a break or was wounded or killed, a crew member could take over the aileron and elevator controls whilst the pilot was removed from the seat, or gain enough control of the aircraft to effect a bail out for the crew.

And that's a He111 not a Casa

:grin:

Here you can see the cockpit crew hatch in use.
