Hey everyone, I was testing out the Stuka dive recovery automation following instructions in the manual. Works great and I just so happened to spot Stonehenge on my way!

Great vid, I must say, playing around with the sim the last few days, it's really satisfying to see the explosions.

Thanks! I agree, the bomb explosions are very satisfying. My vid got severely compressed and the sound got out of synch somehow, but you get the idea

I didnt even know the stuka had a dive recovery system in place untill I read the english manual a week ago. Damn those germans had a lot of skill back then.

Cool video, m8, thanks. I didn't know the RAF captured any flyable Stukas

Nice Vid! But I couldn't help but notice that in the recovery climbout the dive brakes were still extended. Makes for a slow exit.
Was that intentional or a bug?

I noticed that as well, I have to manually retract them every time, the manual states that they should retract automatically. I flew for quite some time and the airbrake never went up on its own, so I'm assuming its a bug.
