Blenheim ferry flight over the rooftops of London - new youtube vid by me...
 
Ok, here's a new video. No fighting this time, just a sightseeing trip at low altitude over London.

The Blenheim is a hefty lady to fly around in. Really different from the fighters I've tried so far, and also a good deal heavier on the controls than the Bf-110. Force-feedback really comes into life with this plane. And it is great fun to throw around the sky, though sometimes a bit nerve-wracking too, when you are too low, heading into the ground and the inertia of the plane just takes you ever downward... Auch!

I didn't find start-up and take-off to be as big a deal as I had read on the forums, but maybe there have been improvements with the patches...

Anyway, enjoy! - and comments always very welcome!

Freycinet, gotta say...love it when I log on and am greeted by a post indicating that you've made another video! Enjoy them immensely, thank you! Hawk

lol nice video as always bro. One thing i noticed about the graphics is that the reflection of structures in water is not rendered.

Heheh, nice video! It seems you've got some cool blokes in yer crew ;).

A couple of Questions, however:
a) What are the first names/nicknames of your crew?
b) Didn't you set up compasses and stuff @ take-off? I'm not really familiar with the blen, so maybe it's not even necessary...
c) You seem to be rough on your throttle! Go easy, man! :lol:
d) You flew a little banked most of the time. Is this a certain blen specialty?
e) Crossing tower bridge below street level is the new black! You should know! :cool:
f) What did the CO say after the flight?

Ahh, soo much possibilities in this sim, and sooo many bugs (the Radio contact to tower is directly, and gravely missed in this vid...)! No really, nice video, I like those little roleplaying intermezzi, preferrably comedic in nature ^-^

Ehh, none so far, sorry!

Set up the compass!? - I wouldn't know how! - And, anyway, I have a highly competent navigator with me, as you could see...

c) You seem to be rough on your throttle! Go easy, man! :lol:

What!? - I was really babying it! - Above 65% and the engines are toast. Not easy...

d) You flew a little banked most of the time. Is this a certain blen specialty?

Hmmm, I guess I might not have trimmed out my aircraft correctly.

e) Crossing tower bridge below street level is the new black! You should know! :cool:

I'll do that in a He-111 next time round... ;)

f) What did the CO say after the flight?

<expletives deleted>!!!
