Blenheim problems

jf1981 · #1 10-30-2012, 09:13 PM

Hello,

I coudl'nd get the bombs explode (any of both)
Nor could I restart an engine which stopped due to clouds crossing

Has anyone resolved those issues ?

Thanks

You need to arm the bombs first, I think you may need to assign a key for that not sure as I use HOTAS. As for the clouds they have been made cold for some reason so I would heat your carburettors up before you hit them or fly around them. I hope this helps and I am sure if it's wrong someone will be sure to point it out

If they have FINAL patch instaled no need arm bombs in Blenheim - only in Luftwaffe bombers.

Maybe they use a fuse set to long time...

Hi,

Like Sokol said, check the fuse delay. I bomb on ATAG mainly low level so I primarily use 4x250 GP, Ever-Ready on a 11 second fuse.

The bomb bay doors are spring loaded if your running the latest patch, so just hit your "drop ordinance" key.

As Muesli said, the clouds are loaded with ice, and even with carburettor heat on, (which should be switched on passing 8000ft), the Blennies engines are very sensitive to it, so they are best left alone until the devs see fit to fix them.

There is a thread with some videos by ATAG_Dutch on the Blenheim and a comprehensive post on the way I fly the Blenheim here.

You'll need to register if your not registered already.

Hope this helps.

Hi

Does someone know how to restart an engine while airborn ?

I never find this problem in Blenheim - that I fly a lot.

But in true is difficult to find clouds in CLoD

- especially online.

Anyway, try the same procedure for ground start:

Throttle ~ 5%, select engine 1, press I, then select 2, etc.

Must have done it wrong, would not start. Trying again ....

Your engine(s) have probably stopped because of frozen carburettors, due to low cylinder head temperature. That has happened to me, too. I've never been able to restart in the air. Better keep the temperature at 200 C and stay out of clouds.

You might have flown with an empty bomb bay. Go to Loadout, choose bombs and fuse, save the loadout. Merely clicking "ok" will not load the bombs. That is a bug in Blenheim (but not in the Luftwaffe planes).

Latest version of the game, can't get the bay opened (binding to any of open/close/activate won't do anything) ... ? Do you have any idea ?
