Realy hope this damedge is from an Internal explosion and not from MG`s....

I promise to find the interviuv i have from a German ground crew member who repaired the planes doing bob...

He statet that the Brit guns in many cases killed the crew but left the plane flyable....And he realy disliked repairing damedged HE-111`s because it took werry long pacthing up all the holes....

Hes opinion was that the british planes had werry effective guns against the bombers and the MG`s was a terror weapon against the crews. You dont need to aim at a specific spot, you just spray the entire bomber with these small bullets, no matter what you will kill some crew members.

He also statet that the ME-109 was a great fighter, but the pilots complained that there was not enough cannon ammo to be effective against bombers and the two MG`s was a waste of weight. They should have removed the MG`s and give the pilots 100 cannon rounds more...

He also told that the Pilots even before BOB complaintet that they had so little fuel. Doing the entire BOB ground crews was working on a field mod for a drop tank, that was what they used many hours on, trying to give the fighter pilots 200ltr more fuel. It was so stupid. We got told that we would get racks for bombs, but no one in high command thought about it was fuel they needed. They had so little fuel and then they would add 250KG of bombs so they would use even more fuel, it was stupid. The ME-109 was a fighter, this idea turning it into a Jabo just show how little the high command understood about airwar.

Who in there right mind would send fighters across the chanal with 400 ltr`s of fuel. With combat they had at most 70mins of fuel. We had to salvage many fighters who had to land somewhere because they didnt have the fuel to get back. Sometimes the "swimmer" in the gas tank would not work correctly so it would show the wrong ammount of fuel, it could also get stuck doing heawy combat manouvers. Many of us on the ground was glad that we didnt have to fly "over there"'

He talks werry little about the FW-190, but he says that it was a great plane in air, but could be a nightmare for the groundcrews. And many 109 pilots never got used to fly it. They joked about it. They give me a sportscar (109) then they let me have fun with it and after that they give me a truck(190)

I promise i try to dig the 15 mins clip up i have somewhere on the 1000 CD`s/DVD`s i have lol....

Really? I was pretty sure i hadn´t seen them before. Sorry then for the missleading title.

yep. they already was in friday updates somewhere...

I haven't seen that shot with the Spitfire. It looks great!

I guess its all about fuel. The He111 was even able to carry additional fueltanks in its bombbay (Do17 and Ju88 too) to increase range , sure than with a lower bombload/amount.

I can't help it, but smoke plumes made up of small puffs is so 2000 and late... Is there no better way 1C can simulate these?

In short, no. Nor in any other 2011 game so far, although some use prettier shading or more particles (but usually with different performance requirements).

I think that damage is created by the internal fire burning through the thin aluminium panells.

Concurs with other reports I read, but this mechanics perspective is excellent!

MOAH!!

Interestingly, I think it was Stanford Tuck who adopted a policy of not bringing down the bombers, but instead making sure that they did get home, albeit with dead and dying crew members. He felt that this had a much greater effect on the morale of the Luftwaffe then planes simply not returning at all.

Stil looking for the clip......

But hes story is amazing

he joined luftwaffe as a mechanic in 1937 he repaired planes doing bob he then was send to the eastern front and was in Russia for two years then he was send to Denmark and then back to Russia. He came back to Germany January 1945.

He was in camp until the Berlin airbridge, then the Americans hired him as a mechanic. He joined the newly formed West German airforce and helped structure the maintinace part of it and retired 1961.

realy hope i have succes finding that clip...might be doing the weekend have a looong day at work tomorow friday..

Ltbear

In one of the books I've got, the practice of sending home bombers riddled with bullets to dent morale is attributed to the South African ace A. G. "Sailor" Malan: "...with a dead rear gunner, a dead navigator, and the pilot coughing up his lungs as he lands...I think if you do that it has a better effect on their morale..." from Battle of Britain (Deighton and Hastings, 1980).

Acording to "Battle of Britain" by Len Deighton it was Sailor Malan who said he would rather send the German A/C home " with a dead rear gunner, a dead navigator, and the pilot coughing up his lungs as he lands.... I think if you do that it has a better effect on their morale"

Cheers

Beat me to it Chiz, im a poor typist lol

I love the shot of the Hurri in the grass!

The "cut along the dotted line" radio wires are still there too :(

Use more AA, problem solved.

Sauf, Chiz, thanks for the correction. I didn't look it up prior to posting.

Np mate, think we are all brushing up on the BOB atm lol, have dug out all my books and am re-reading again, currently on "Fighterboys" by Patrick Bishop.
Years ago I came across an old battered copy of "Helmet Wick das leben eines fliegerhelden" which was printed in 1941 after his death. Unfortunately I cant read german :( Maybe some german fans could recommend an OCR program i could use? All the english language one's ive tried fail except one, which unfortunatley isnt available in Australia (and they wont post here). Thought if i copy it using OCR software then purchase a quality translation software i could finally read it, maybe even find someone to publish it.

from the inside cover, "herausgegeben von der luftwaffen - illustrierten der adler" which when translated online = "published by the air forces - the eagle illustrated'

Wonder if the modern German airforce still holds the rights?


Cheers

I love 'Fighter boys' - and 'Bomber Boys', for that matter - and I think that's where I encountered Malan's comments.

I'd also like to recommend 'Ten Fighter Boys', which came out in 1942. A gripping read.

Oh, and 'First Light', of course. Sorry if we're going a bit off topic.

They seem to be rendered/represented the same way that they currently are in IL-2. More AA improves but does not solve the problem of the little gaps. AA fixes jaggies with gradated shades on top of what is there. It will only go so far with something that has no detail but but may help a little by filling the gaps with some gradation.

The screen-shots always appear to have no AA and they just illustrate that there are not enough pixels to represent the wires.

I actualy have this book and im lucky enough to read enough German to kinda get the main points. It is a propaganda book, it is something the luftwaffe published to the general German population to show how great they were. Dont think the modern Luftwaffe want to have anything to do with it :)

Im told that the Danish royal libry have a version translatet to English, i will check it friday, atleast i might be able to get information about when and who so you might be able to find one your self :)

I don't have it on my PC just yet but i'll take a guess based on my understanding of the interface: running full power with the radiator closed ;)

I've been wondering what the two small sliders besides throttle/pitch/mixture where, until i remembered that we get separate oil and water cooling controls. So, the blue one must be the radiator and the amber one (not visible in this picture but present on 109s and 110s in videos i've watched) must be the oil cooler flap.

oh man, i hate you guys :D

i have still have to wait a full day. it seems so long...

So, can you capture Enemy aircraft?

No, its just a selected BR20 in the quick mission builder, that has had the wrong country applied to it.

BobTuck.

I have to wait 3 bloody weeks! The only bright side is that there will probably be further optimization patches in that time.

Nice shots! But even at max settings, are there no reflections in the sea from landscapes/objects on the sea?

Currently there are no reflections in the water unfortunately.

Bummer... Has it been mentioned that it might be planned in the future? It´s kind of strange, especially when looking at the nice reflections the clouds make in the water. The transition from land to water just doesn´t seem right.

Ive seen quite a few videos where the clouds are reflected on the water.

Only clouds and sun. Maby maked later planes reflection

no trick, just a little precise maneuver, or rather lack thereof.

when I hit P for pause, the Stuka was firing, it's some strange stop-motion effect with the tracers. but yes, we also can imagine a foo fighter and the Stuka flying in the Bermuda Triangle sea area :mrgreen:

Hi guys,

Any chance of some pics of crew/pilots from inside the cockpits? The actual cockpits themselves look very realistic, am hoping that the crew/pilot models are to a similar standard, i.e. not cartoony looking or very low res (mesh + textures).

Cheers.

It's late, but i have a sunset screeny.

Blenheim after landing
 

I thought I was doing really well for my first ever Blenheim landing.


http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5124/blenheimldg.jpg

And then I put the brakes on. (and I thought I was only doing 50 or 60 knots.. better luck next time)

You're an artist Rodolphe :)

I made a single thread about my screens, but I guess they should be all set here...

---------------------

Made this little mission this morning.
4 Fiat B.R.20 "Cicogna" medium bombers are reaching the southern-eastern corner of England for a level bombing run on port facilities.
Altitude, 4.000 meters.

They're escorted by 3 Fiat G.50 "Freccia" fighters, acting as very close and direct escort.
Made this mission in the full mission editor just to try to make my Breda SAFAT 12,7mm hmg fire different kind of ammunitions and see the different results.
This time, my belting was : ball-ap-incendiary-explosive-ap/tracer for both guns.
The effects of this belting is devastating... Forget about IL-2 porked Bredas... A good and well placed burst can be really effective. AP rounds and especially HEI rounds seem to pack quite a punch.
HEI 12,7mm rounds exploding on wing surfaces make some quite large holes, destroying internal rivets/cables/structures.
AP 12,7mm rounds are able to pierce any pilot protection used during that period.

Well, as you'll see, even the British 7,7mm guns are now... guns: meaning that if they're fired correctly, they'll be effective in a new and most realistic way.

MY land terrain details are very low, as my PC is quite an old chap.
Here it is: C2D 7500 ad 2,96 mhz, 2GB DDR2-800 ram, GTS450 1GB video card, 150gb HD.
Playing on 1680x1050 res.
The FPS are quite good above water. Smooth. I can't complain with my system really. I even tried some fights with about 20 planes, and everything was still good. Even above ground it's not too bad, but I can't just load trees or add more buildings.
Aircraft models set to HIGH, as Damage model Decals. Shadows ON.

The sim is fantastic. There are some problems though: I have the feeling something is way off with the G.50. It's performance are really too sub-par. It's way too slow and really can't reach its actual speed as in IRL.
Accelleration is slow too, and you just can't climb, as it begins to stall.
There is no WEP too (it had it in real life), and manifold pressure strangely is set to 700 mmHg, while on super-combat-power it could go to 860 mmHg and be able to pump out a quite decent 960hp at that altitude.
I feel something has been missing on this plane.
(btw, I already wrote this on another topic)

Other than that, this sim has huge potential, and I really love it.

Well, time for some pictures now! I hope you'll enjoy them. ;)
Cheers
Rick

The Hurricane fires with anger at the Fiat.

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/4587/54558999.jpg

No luck this time. All of his burst went into the left wing, making just some small holes and nothing else. The gunner looks with real fear at the British fighter.

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/5355/35770680.jpg

The escorting G.50 try to reach the fighting zone, but their speed is so slow that they will need about 5 minutes to close up . (!)

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9620/30577561.jpg

A G.50s closes up on a Hawker and fires a small burst into its fusuelage. An exploding round just goes into the forwars fuel tank, setting it on fire immediately.

An Hurricane doesn't see me coming during a right turn, exposing his underbelly and placing me in his 6 quite easily.

http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/2409/79954796.jpg

After some seconds, the 12,7 bullets start to hit the British fighter.

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5764/21104644.jpg

A small burst at close distance into its fusuelage is sufficient to kill the pilot immediately. (note the large piece of canvas torn apart from the HE-I bullets, and the small bullet holes made by the AP and incendiaries)

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2897/78010299.jpg

The Hurricane's revenge!! Just as I was firing on the previous fighter, another one jumped me from behind and at very close distance let his mighty 8-gun battery fire.
Only about 20 bullets hit my plane, and they just went into my head :-P
The DM is amazing. My aircraft , at the end of the mission, was only 3% damaged.
A well placed burst.

Just so you know you I figured out that in your
confUser.ini

C:\Users\TOAD\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\confUser.ini

You can Delete this section below, obviously back up the original first.

And then have clean screen shots, no clutter while flying.
If there is a clickable way while flying, I haven't found it.
there is in Tracks though.
