All LW flyers must get a French girlfriend whose daddy has a fishing boat and can meet them halfway accross the channel. This will allow for more time to fight over England. Herman however might not like the Idea so much. (or the girlfriends daddy)

Flyby out

The red warning light would light up when you have apprx. 20 minutes to go.

A briliant point that needs Oleg's attention!


The reason is the ON-line international competitions that would start as soon as
SOW comes out along with its Campaign generator or what have you .....

All the best.

A quick look at the facts books I have;

With 400 litres tank and minimum 260 lit/ hour, say 300, makes 100 lit left to go. Is that correct? Just how was this red light triggered? Floating switch or..?

At approx 400 km / hour its 130 km to go and from London to France is just a little bit less, that will give you one go at landing, exciting!

Red light is 10 minutes of flight in real Bf.109s, as I have been told by Lwf. pilots.

I remember an old pilot friend of ours reporting the red light to ground control, when he was a young Ltnt.. The answer was: "Leutenient, you put your finger over the light and keep flying against those B-17s"

I can accept that as it was over Germany, B-17: s and all you had to do was to glide down to the nearest airfield or meadow. Over England: different story.

A lot of 109 pilots ended up in the channel. When SoW comes out,if you fly on the full size map there will be none of this '110%' flying all the time,not if you want to get back to France.

And using prop pitch and mixture controls for economy!

I hope we have a printed pilots manual with proformance charts!

I also hope that the damage model includes that the engine gets worse if you use 110% for more than 5 min.
