Ju-88 joyride through the Vallée de la Risle to Le Havre - youtube video by me

More Luftwaffe flying this time...

I never went up in the Junkers Ju-88 before, so it was quite a daunting prospect. I still haven't learnt about bombing, but I thought a little joyride could be nice. The landscapes around the Seine are so beautiful, so why not give them a low-level visit? I also like Le Havre: it is really cool to see a big city draped over hills like that.

The Ju-88 is a pleasure to fly. Very powerful, but you still feel a lot of heft and inertia in the flight model. The downwards view from the pilots position is a total joy, but I can imagine it would feel rather exposed in real life! - I am not keen at all on the stiff sitting next to me: strange choice by the modelling team I must say!

If anybody make a nice bombing mission with the Ju-88 I'd be happy to try it out!

Anyway, enjoy. Comments always very welcome!

1.If you were going sight seeing why take the bombs.You might be able to use less runway if you lose the bombs before takeoff.

2.Do the clouds popup in real time or is it part of the jerky video capture?

I like the challenge of taking off heavy!

If you see pop up then it cannot be blamed on the video capture for sure...

Oh, btw, and I think the exterior bombs look cool!

With the bombs loaded you scare all the guys down at the pub.

Hello Freycinet,

great video, now i want to try the JU 88 too. Till now didnt tried it so now i will.

I realized that the tail wheel of "Albert" s bird was not retracted. Its weired or not? Normally it was retracted. Maybe a hydraulics failure.

Anyway, do you make those missions in the mission builder?

I have another question on the Stuka. I cant load the 50Kg boms on the wing, any suggestions or is it broken. Making a ferry flight from England to France i couldnt load it.

Thanks for this video, i am hungry to test the JU 88.

Cheers

Lovely video of great game. I too enjoy many 'pleasure flights'.

It's hard to believe there is a war on sometimes

Well spotted re: the tail wheel! - Yeah, that is weird, because on my Ju-88 it retracted fine.

Yes, in the FMB.

Sorry, cannot help you on the Stuka... - Someone else?
